She had been worried the whole night after she left the police department. Now that she was sure that yesterday’s incident had not affected him, she could finally Irt out a sigh of relief intemally.
Kylie pursed her lips, turned around, and left. Iris scoffed. Was Kylie mad or jealous!
Samuel merely glanced at Kylie out of the comer of his eyes. Then, the warmth on his strikingly handsome face was gone, and he was back to his cold and aloof self. He turned around and went to the VIP room, with everyone following him fervently.
“Iris, Mr. Vance is so nice to you!”

Iris blushed, but she rolled her eyes at her friend in an attempt to appear dignified. “Cut it out with the jokes, guys
“We’re not folding. We are jealous of you, but we’re giving you our blessings, too.”
Kylie didn’t go to the lounge. Instead, she took a plate and helped herself to two pieces of delicate desserts –
After the bootlickers flattered Iris, they took a dig at kylie, too “Iris, you will become the wife of the CEO of the Prestige Group. You’re the real deal, unlike a certain somrope who’s just all show, no substance”
One had to wonder what these young ladies were thinking. Kylie wasn’t bothered by their words. After she had eaten the desserts, she headed to the research presentation hall..
Shortly after, Iris and her gang also entered the same hall a help but curl her lips into a smirk.

So, what if Kylie got the lanyard with a red string? All she could do was grab some attention at the party hall and eat some desserts. After all, she was nothing but a country bumpkin.
She could wear pretty dresses all she wanted, but that wouldn’t give her any substance. People like her didn’t even have the right to listen to research presentations.
Meanwhile, Kylie had just entered the research presentation hall when Jeremiah called her over.
“Hi, Mr. Bradford, She said politely.
“Ms. Clark, the sequence of the research presentation has been finalized. You will close out the presentation. We saved the best for last.” He said.
“Alright. Thank you.” Kylie responded calmly. She wasn’t surprised by what she heard. Her maturity and level–headedness had far surpassed the other people her
Jeremiah was amazed. After all, Kylie grew up in a sanctuary and learned from Allan. It was only normal that she was an extraordinary person
before long, it was Kylie’s turn to present. Wearing an elegant and professional outfit, she held a manuscript in hand, walked to the stage, and stopped in front of the microphone.
her features were delicate, and her complexion fair, Grace, allure, and wisdorn congregated in her, lending her the confidence to look composed and amaze absolutely everyone in the hall. A commotion could be heard in the auditorium.
“is that Kylie?” tris widened her eyes in shock and stared at the stage with disbelief. Rage took over, her ears rang, and her mind was blank “How could it be her?”
A young nun next to her asked her with sparkling eyes, “Do you know her? Rumor has it that they ignited a mysterious and prominent guest to be the last presenter. From the looks of things, she’s the one.
“The Lady on stage is much more beautiful than the prettiest student at Tenby University. This makes coming to this conference so worth it, “a young man sitting in front of ins said.
Iris supped out of her trance and said samastically, “She’s not prominent at all, except in bed. It takes someone with the actual capability to talk about research
“Looks aren’t going to help her at all. I’ll bet her research presentation is the same as her character. All looks, no substance,
“I’m going to talk about the treatment of acute ischemic stroke using acupuncture, including technologies such as MRI diffusion–weighted imaging and arterial spin latarling.” Once Kylie’s, tender voice echoed through the microphone, everyone fell silent at once.
