Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 340:

“Rules?” the guard scoffed, pointing at Sloane proudly. “Miss Evans’ words are the rules here! She’s the main sponsor of this competition. You’re on her territory. If she wants this lab, it’s hers. Continue arguing, and you’ll be expelled.”noveldrama

This statement left everyone gaping at Sloane in shock. The National Biopharmaceutical Competition was a major event, attracting many teams and significant funding.

Could Sloane actually be the main sponsor? It seemed highly unlikely.

Khloe frowned slightly. Her extensive research into the competition’s sponsorship details confirmed that neither the Evans family nor the Watson family were listed as financial contributors.

How, then, did Sloane claim such significant influence? Moreover, Sloane had been very humble before because of her engagement to Henrik, but now she was frequently provoking Khloe.

Clearly, Sloane must have a powerful ally fueling her boldness to confront Khloe once more.

The researcher with the round face was so overwhelmed with anger that her complexion turned ashen, her fists clenched tightly as tears threatened to spill. Charlotte was equally incensed, her glare fixed on both the security guard and Sloane, poised to retaliate, but Khloe held her back.

Taking a measured breath, Khloe said calmly, “Alright, let’s pack up. We’ll find a different booth.”

With some hesitation, the team heeded Khloe’s command, beginning to gather their belongings to depart. Sloane observed their chaotic exit with a self-satisfied grin. “Khloe, consider this friendly advice from family—drop out of the competition now. Stick around, and you’re only setting yourself up for a disgraceful loss that will tarnish your name.”

At these words, Khloe halted her movements, spun around to face Sloane, and before Sloane could brace herself, Khloe delivered a stinging slap across her face.

With a cold smile and eyes glinting with fury, Khloe retorted, “Tarnish my name, you say? Like that time you made those false accusations against me three years ago?

Go ahead, try your schemes again. This time, I promise, you’ll deeply regret it.”

The slap was so hard that Sloane staggered a few steps back, struggling to regain her balance. She covered her cheek and glared at Khloe, her eyes blazing with shock and fury. “Khloe, how dare you hit me!”

Khloe looked at her expressionlessly and retorted, “So what if I hit you? You deserve it. You framed me three years ago, and I haven’t settled the score with you yet. But don’t worry. That can wait. For now, let’s focus on this competition. I’ll show you what I’m capable of.”

As Charlotte and the others watched Khloe’s commanding presence, the anger in their hearts began to subside, replaced by admiration for Khloe. She was the kind of boss who exuded power, confidence, and intellect. She was awesome.

Sloane gritted her teeth. “Fine! Khloe, just you wait. I swear I won’t let you off.”

But aside from those harsh words, Sloane didn’t dare do anything else. She was just a sponsor of the competition. She could only control and pressure people other than Khloe. The only way to defeat Khloe now was through her pharmaceutical expertise in the competition.

After all, Henrik, the man behind Khloe, was not someone to be trifled with. If she acted rashly against Khloe, the consequences would be dire.

At the thought of this, Sloane turned to Eric, tears streaming down her face. “Eric, look at her. She has gone too far.”

Eric’s brows furrowed slightly. He stood in front of Sloane, looked at Khloe, and said calmly, “Khloe, there’s no need to make things tense over a spot. We have many opponents, so we should all focus on the competition. If you’re dissatisfied with Sloane, beat her fair and square on the field. Don’t vent your anger here.”

“Eric, you’ve always been self-righteous. But wasn’t it Sloane who vented her anger first? She throws her weight around as a sponsor to keep us down. What can you say about that? Since this is an upright competition fought with honor, how about we make a bet?” Khloe crossed her arms over her chest. “What bet?”
