Chapter 181 Chapter 181: Sloane's face drained of color, her jaw clenched so tightly it seemed her teeth would shatter. She didn't even have fifty million at her disposal, yet Khloe was casually offering one hundred million without hesitation.
Who was Khloe's sugar daddy? Why was a man like that backing Khloe instead of her? What terrified Sloane more was that she had never anticipated Khloe making such a bold move. A wave of unease washed over her, quickly replacing her earlier confidence in victory. The lab fell into a tense silence, broken only by the heavy breathing of those around her.
After a long, stunned pause, Lawson finally found his voice. "Khloe, are you certain? This is one hundred million we're talking about." Khloe's expression remained unfazed, her gaze steady and unwavering as she met Lawson's eyes. "I'm certain. I have complete confidence in my agent." Lawson gave her a long, thoughtful look, a mix of admiration and wonder in his eyes. It becclear to him that this young woman was either incredibly arrogant or had an extraordinary talent.

As Lawson hesitated, torn between reporting this to the university or not, Sloane stormed forward, her face contorted with fury. "No! This is unacceptable! It violates medical ethics! It cannot be allowed!" Her voice sliced through the stillness of the lab, snapping everyone's focus back to her.
Sloane's eyes burned with urgency and righteous anger as she continued, “HIV patients are already in a fragile state. To use them as test subjects is not only irresponsible but a serious violation of medical ethics." Though her words dripped with righteous indignation, her eyes told a different story. She wasn't genuinely concerned about the patients' well-being. Even though she didn't believe Khloe could develop a cure for HIV, she couldn't afford to let Khloe turn the balance in her favor.
Khloe narrowed her eyes, a cold smile on her face as she watched Sloane act so self-righteous. "Sloane, you harp on about medical ethics, but don't you want to see a real cure for HIV? If these patients choose to participate, they're advancing medical progress, and I will guarantee their safety and rights." Step into a new world at galSloane's teeth ground together in frustration, her voice sharp with disdain. “You make it sound so noble, but who can guarantee safety? This is reckless! You can't gamble with people's lives just to fulfill your selfish ambitions." The invigilators in the lab began to murmur among themselves, the weight of the situation sinking in as they realized just how serious this was.
Lawson frowned deeply, lost in thought as the debate unfolded before him.
Meanwhile, the online viewers were embroiled in a fiery debate. Shailed Khloe's bold move as a brave step towards medical advancement, while others sided with Sloane, condemning her actions as a violation of ethical principles. The debate quickly spread, engulfing the entire campus of Zhecrora University in a whirlwind of controversy.
In the university's affiliated hospital, bedridden patients who had been listless and weak suddenly stirred, their bodies rising with an unexpected surge of energy upon hearing the news. Without a second thought, they all rushed toward the exam hall.
Soon, a group of HIV patients from the university's affiliated hospital had gathered outside the examination hall. Their faces were worn and weary, but their eyes gleamed with hope that hadn't been there in years.

With a collective voice, they shouted in unison, "We want to test the M e agent!"
Their voices rang out like a thunderclap, so loud and clear it e echoed through the walls of the lab.
