Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 647: It turned out that Khloe had been on a video call with Whitney the entire time.

Sheri's expression drastically changed. A mixture of panic and bewilderment flooded her heart all at once. She never expected Khloe to contact her mother. Had her mother heard everything she had just said? Her mother would definitely teach her a good lesson.

While Sheri grew more agitated, Khloe's voice rang out again, calm and precise. "As everyone knows, HIV attacks the human immune system, especially CD4+ T lymphocytes, leading to a decline or even a loss of the body's immune system. This makes people susceptible to various infections and serious complications, such as malignant tumors. If we can develop a drug that completely eliminates HIV and regenerates CD4+ T lymphocytes, it will be the real key to treating HIV. Ms. Dayton, may I ask, has the Dayton family successfully developed such a drug?" On the screen, Whitney's expression turned cold. She glanced briefly at Sheri before replying with a chilling tone, "The Dayton family has not developed any drugs related to HIV, nor do we have any intention of researching the virus." The tension in the hall was palpable. Whitney's words were like a bombshell, shattering any illusions about Sheri's intentions. Everyone stood stunned, the room plunging into an eerie silence.

The excitement on their faces, which had been fueled by the supposed drug development, evaporated entirely, replaced by shock and horror.

They subconsciously looked at Sheri, their gazes full of questions, yet none of them dared to speak.

Of course, Whitney's words carried more authority than Sheri's. Since Whitney confirmed they had not developed such a drug, it was undeniable-everyone had been deceived by Sheri.

With this realization, every eye turned back to Sheri.

This time, Sheri was even more terrified. She had never imagined her mother would stand up for Khloe and expose her. Bewilderment and fear of the unknown surged within her.

Stay tuned at galEric's expression also shifted. Just moments ago, he had been brimming with arrogance, boasting about his position as the heir of the Watson family. He had believed victory was inevitable. But after hearing Whitney's words, all those thoughts were instantly cut off.

For a moment, Eric was at a loss, unsure of how to proceed.

At the stime, Susanna was overcwith shock. A chill ran down her spine, causing her to tremble uncontrollably. Her face was a mask of fear and panic.

The reason she had chosen to betray Khloe and "testify" for Sheri and Eric was because Sheri had assured her they had developed a drug to treat HIV. But now, with Whitney's denial of Sheri's claims, Susanna realized she had been deceived.

Khloe's gaze swept over the room, assessing the bewildered expressions of the Watson family. Calmly, she spoke, "The drug has not been developed yet, but Eric has already collected the relevant fees and caused the deaths of the volunteers." As soon as she spoke, Khloe displayed the evidence on the projector screen, showing Eric's false accounting data and the fatalities during the research process.

The evidence was undeniable. Eric had not expected Khloe to be so thoroughly prepared. His expression shifted, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Trembling, he hoarsely protested, “No, it's not like that. I didn't...” Khloe's voice cut through his excuses like ice. "Eric, there's no need to continue with your lies." Her words sent a sharp chill down Eric's spine.

At this moment, Susanna finally snapped out of her daze. Her eyes filled with a mixture of horror and anger as she glared at Eric and Sheri. But she realized there was no point in focusing on her hatred for them now. The only thing that mattered was her own survival.

She turned to Khloe, her voice pleading. "Miss Evans, please save me. I'm innocent. Eric and Sheri forcedto do all of this. I didn't want to go against you, but they convinced me, tellingthey had already developed the drug for HIV treatment. They threatened me, and I had no choice but to follow their instructions to slander and fryou. If I hadn't cooperated with them, they wouldn't givethe drug. They deceived me. They took advantage of my desire to survive." Susanna's words were filled with pain. She was crushed by the realization that not only had she been caught in a lie, but she had also played a part in enabling someone else's wrongdoings.

"Susanna, you're talking nonsense!" Sheri, still reeling from Whitney's unexpected intervention, glared at Susanna with fierce anger. She quickly turned to Henrik, trying to salvage the situation. "Henrik, it's not like that..." Her voice trembled, knowing she had to protect her image. She couldn't let Henrik see her as an enemy of Khloe.

However, Susanna no longer cared about Sheri's words. Her anger burned as she turned her furious gaze on Sheri "I'm not talking nonsense. Everything I said is true. You deceived me. You madeyour pawn in this gto turn Khloe against Eric."

She then turned back to Khloe, her eyes filled with guilt and desperation. Miss Evans, Nam truly innocent. Please, save me." Khloe regarded Susanna coldly, with no trace of sympathy in cherish it." er eyes. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't
