Chapter 103:
Timothy froze. The confidence drained from his face. He couldn’t say a word.
The truth behind his research was plain. His work on clinical medicine and artificial intelligence barely scratched the surface. Most of the effort came from his students. Deep down, even he never believed that it would amount to anything. He was only after the Morgan family’s money. Evita had convinced him that Brad wouldn’t live through the year. Once he died, there’d be no one left to demand results, and Timothy could walk away with the funding.
Rylie gave him a sideways glance, her voice low and calm. “What would Mr. Morgan think if he learned how little you actually knew about your own study p>
“You’re lying!” Timothy snapped, his voice cracking. “Nobody would take your word over mine p>
Evita suddenly raised her voice. “Enough. Keep your mouth shut p>
Her face turned stern. That fool was on the verge of blurting out something that would expose everything.
Timothy bit back his anger and stayed quiet under her cold stare.
Turning to Rylie, Evita spoke indifferently, her expression sharpening with pride. “You’re from HaloFlow Pharmacy. You trained under Selah Hobbes. I won’t hold that against you, not yet. But let’s be honest. The reason you got your hands on Nexo-7 wasn’t due to your skill. Selah stole the formula from the Wilde family. If not for that theft, we would’ve had the medication ready long before Brad’s condition turned critical p>
At the mention of Selah’s name, murmurs rippled through the room.
“Isn’t that the doctor who caused a patient’s death during a botched procedure p>
“Why didn’t the Morgans vet their guests more carefully? They let someone like Rylie take part in this seminar p>
“How dare Selah send a student out to do her bidding? Does she truly believe everyone has forgotten what she did p>
“It makes sense now. No wonder the girl could hand over a pure dose of Nexo-7. If Selah’s behind her, then of course. Selah and Evita used to dominate the medical field together, but later, Selah stole formulas just to keep her edge. And the poor Wilde family’s reputation suffered. It’s no wonder the Wildes hate Selah so much p>

The crowd grew restless. Their stares turned cold. Rylie felt the shift instantly. That was exactly the response Evita had been hoping for. But Selah was nowhere in sight. Evita truly wished Selah could be present to face the humiliation alongside Rylie.
Evita put on a gentle tone, though the edge in her words was clear. “Your mentor may know medicine, but her ethics are questionable. Her reputation isn’t exactly spotless. I doubt the Morgan family would risk Mr. Brad Morgan’s care with someone like you. If something goes wrong, could you handle the blame? There’s still time to make things right. Go back to school. Stay on track before it’s too late p>
Others standing nearby took her lead and began to chime in.
“Why would someone like her be allowed to treat Mr. Morgan here at the estate p>
“Her invitation must be fake p>
“Security, escort her out at once p>
The moment the word “fake” was mentioned, the guards exchanged a look, then turned to Rylie and asked politely, “Miss, may we see your invitation p>
