Chapter 498 Chloe's Poisoning
Chloe drank the poison, but now she's perfectly fine.
Everyone was confused.
Even Cormac himself was a bit puzzled about what was going on. He had great confidence in his poison; once taken, it should take effect within minutes.
A reporter even walked up, pointing the camera at Chloe for a close-up of her face.
Chloe stood up, looked at Cormac standing nearby with a confused expression, smiled faintly, and said, "Cormac, do I need to say anything more? I took the poison you prepared, and now nothing's wrong with me at all. I don't even need an antidote. Doesn't this prove that your understanding of medicines has declined, and you can't even prepare poison correctly anymore?"
Chloe didn't give Cormac any face.
Addressing the media reporters, she said, "Reporter friends, you've all witnessed it. I took Silvermoon Apothecary's Cormac's poison, and now nothing's wrong with me at all. According to our previous agreement, Silvermoon Apothecary has lost."
"Chloe, you cheated."
Cormac's face turned dark. Pointing at Chloe, he shouted, "You didn't take the poison at all. You must have switched it."
"Are you stupid?"
Before Chloe could speak, Maria stepped forward and scolded, "You damn old man, are you blind? With so many people watching, how could Chloe have switched it?"
"Yeah, or are you just a sore loser?" Sam's wife, Mindy, also looked contemptuous.
Oscar jumped out, pointing at Cormac and the others, yelling, "You people from Silvermoon Apothecary, get out! Get out of the Lewis family's clinic!"
Oscar was aggressive, clenching his fists, looking like he was about to physically throw them out.
Now that Chloe was fine, the Lewis family members all stepped forward, criticizing Cormac and his group.
Cormac's face looked terrible.
He couldn't understand why Chloe was unharmed after taking the poison.
He didn't leave. He was waiting.
Waiting for Chloe to be poisoned.
But another minute passed, and Chloe was still fine.
Her face was rosy, she was in good spirits, showing no signs of poisoning at all.
"What, you want to go back on your word?" Chloe's expression also darkened as she said coldly, "Or are you not convinced and want another competition?"
Cormac stared hard at Chloe, saying word by word, "Chloe, I'll give you credit for being clever, but this competition isn't over. I'll be back."
Cormac left a threatening remark and left with the Silvermoon Apothecary people in embarrassment.
"Get lost."
"Tsk, all talk."
"Can't even prepare poison properly, and you want to compete with Larry? Good thing Larry hasn't arrived yet, or you'd be done for."
Many bystanders cursed at them.
Chloe stepped forward, looking at the reporters and bystanders, and said, "Alright, it's over now. Everyone can leave."
"Chloe, can we interview you?"
A reporter came forward.
Chloe hesitated slightly but still nodded.
This was an opportunity.
An opportunity for the Lewis family to gain fame.
"Ask whatever you want."
A female reporter holding a microphone asked, "This morning, many things happened in Sunset City's medical industry, and then Silvermoon Apothecary came to cause trouble. Is there any connection between these two things? Does Silvermoon Apothecary belong to VitaGen Medical?"
Chloe nodded, "Yes, Silvermoon Apothecary belongs to VitaGen Medical. Although I don't know how VitaGen Medical was able to acquire so many large companies at the same time, I'm certain that VitaGen Medical used dirty tactics."
She paused.
Then continued, "This morning, the Lewis family was threatened by VitaGen Medical. VitaGen Medical wanted us to dissolve the Everjoy Company and withdraw from the medical industry; otherwise, they would use underhanded means to suppress the Everjoy Company and make it impossible for us to survive."
"I'm the current chairman of the Everjoy Company, and I'm responding clearly to VitaGen Medical here, the Everjoy Company will absolutely not compromise. We will not bow to evil forces."
She spoke with conviction.
And her words caused quite a stir.
A reporter immediately stepped forward and asked, "Chloe, do you have evidence for what you're saying? This is defaming a large company - you could get sued for this."
"I don't have evidence. I'm just stating the Lewis family's situation. I know there will be retaliation, but I'm not afraid."
After speaking, Chloe turned and entered the clinic.
Because she could barely suppress the poison in her body anymore.
She needed to expel the poison quickly.
Chloe returned to the clinic and went to an office on the second floor, locked the door, and began using her energy to expel the poison.
But as soon as she started, she made a mistake. Her Qi couldn't control the toxin, and the poison spread rapidly. Her expression changed, and she didn't dare be careless. She quickly mobilized her Qi to expel the poison, but the more anxious she got, the more mistakes she made.
Outside.
The reporters hadn't left yet.
Victor stepped forward and began accepting interviews from reporters.
He started promoting the Lewis family extensively, also claiming they would absolutely not bow to evil forces.
In short, he showed off in front of the media.
Meanwhile, Larry was rushing over.
By the time he arrived, Cormac had long since left, and the reporters were gradually dispersing. Only some bystanders were still lingering in front of the Global Nexus Group clinic to watch the excitement.
Larry quickly approached and asked, "Where's Chloe?"
Sam pointed behind him at the clinic and said, "She went inside."
Larry said nothing more and quickly entered the clinic.
He grabbed someone to ask and learned that Chloe was in the second-floor office.
He quickly went to the second floor.
Arriving at the office door, he knocked.
"Who is it?"
A weak, powerless voice came from inside.
"It's me."
In the office, Chloe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had used her Qi to suppress the toxin, but she wasn't very skilled at using Qi. When she came back to expel the poison using Qi, a small accident occurred, causing the toxin to spread throughout her body.
At this moment, her face had turned dark, looking quite frightening.
She wanted to stand up and open the door, but she had no strength at all. As soon as she stood up, her body collapsed to the floor.
Larry stood at the door and heard the commotion inside.
He couldn't care about anything else and kicked the door open.
He rushed in instantly.
As soon as he entered the office, he saw Chloe collapsed on the floor.
He rushed over in one stride and picked up Chloe from the floor.
"Chloe..."
Chloe hadn't passed out yet. Hearing the call, she opened her eyes slightly, looking at this face that was both familiar and strange, with a hint of a smile on her face, "This time I didn't embarrass you. I, I..."
"Don't talk."
Larry immediately stopped her, placing her on the sofa.
He took her hand, placing his fingers on her wrist.
He instantly understood Chloe's physical condition.
A steel wire slid out from his sleeve.
The wire instantly broke apart, turning into needles.
Larry couldn't care about anything else and directly removed Chloe's clothes.
Her figure was completely revealed in Larry's view.
But Larry had no mind to admire her body. Holding the Against Heaven 81 Needles and mobilizing his Qi, he began helping Chloe expel the poison.
