Chapter 369:
Sloane stood at the forefront, her posture exuding confidence and a smug smirk playing on her lips. Her eyes
were full of provocation, but she said sweetly, “Oh, Khloe, what a coincidence! | didn’t expect we were destined
to meet again on this stage. My team is still quite inexperienced and can’t compare to your prowess. | hope you
can show us mercy.”
Khloe frowned slightly, disgusted by Sloane’s feigned humility. But, of course, she didn’t show it. She just replied
calmly, “Once we are on the competition stage, we all depend on our abilities. There’s no room for mercy.
Sloane, you're being overly optimistic.”
When Eric heard her words, he retorted angrily, “Sloane just wants to have a friendly competition with you. Why
are you being so aggressive? When everyone questioned and criticized you, it was Sloane who spoke up for you.
How can you treat her like this? You are so cold-hearted.”

Charlotte rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, “Eric, are you still thinking straight? You should get your brain
checked. If you can’t see through Sloane’s two-faced act, you're such a fool.”
Eric's face turned red with anger. He glared at Charlotte and snapped, “Charlotte, how dare you talk tolike
that!”
Charlotte was about to retort, but Khloe raised her hand to stop her and said indifferently, “That's enough. Let's
go. Tis limited in the competition. Don’t waste it on irrelevant people.”
Then, she walked to the other side of the stage without sparing Eric or Sloane another glance.
Sloane was clearly unhappy with Khloe’s dismissive attitude. Resentment filled her heart as she stared at Khloe's
back, biting her lower lip hard. But she knew it wasn’t the right tto deal with Khloe, so she could only
suppress the anger in her heart.
Eric held Sloane's arm and said, “Eric, don’t stoop to their level. If we want her to bow her head, we must use
this competition as an opportunity to show her that she’s not the only genius in this world.”
“You're right,” Eric readily agreed, calming down. When he thought of their team’s research achievements, his
eyes glinted with satisfaction. “Sloane, thank you for developing such an incredible potion. We will definitely
knock Khloe down a peg.” As long as they could defeat Khloe, he believed she would start looking at him with
renewed respect.

As they took their positions on the stage, Eric and Sloane faced Khloe from a distance, each lost in their own
thoughts.
With both teams in place, the judges settled into their seats at the center of the stage. The six judges were a
panel of renowned experts in the field. Sitting in the middle were Granger, who had just verified the Jose Drug,
and Whitney, the chairman of the judges.
Khloe’s eyes were fixed on Whitney, studying her carefully. She was well aware that, aside from being the
chairman of the judges, Whitney was also the matriarch of the Dayton family and Henrik’s aunt. Other than
Morris, she was the only remaining elder of Henrik’s family.

Khloe had always suspected that Henrik’s decision to find a fake fiancée was linked to something deeper. Now,
she was fairly certain that Whitney played a significant role in it.
As the judges settled into their seats, all the researchers perked up, eager to see how they would score and learn
from the experience.
At this moment, Whitney, as the chairman of the judges, suddenly picked up the microphone and said,
“Everyone, please wait a moment. | have a personal question to ask.”
Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, Whitney directed her question to Khloe: “Khloe, | know you're
my nephew's fiancée. | just want to know, what exactly do you like about him?”
The room was filled with shocked murmurs as the crowd reacted in disbelief. No one had anticipated that
Whitney, the chief judge, would ask such an intimate question during such a formal event.
Khloe becthe center of attention as everyone turned to look at her, their expressions ranging from surprise
and curiosity to outright disdain. Eric's immediate reaction was to sit up straight, his concern etched on his face,
which sent a sharp pang of jealousy through Sloane.
Still, Sloane couldn't deny the thrill it gave her. She was convinced that Whitney's question wasn’t born out of
simple curiosity but was instead a calculated move fueled by her discontent with Khloe.
