Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 403

The guests and Camille were shell-shocked.

Hera was supposed to be Killian's secretary. When did she become Dr. Shadow?

Graden solemnly handed the Elasker Medical Award to Hera, and the crowd surged into a commotion.

Someone pinched himself. "Ouch! I'm not dreaming!"

"S-She's Dr. Shadow? Can I take back everything that I had said?"

"Did they get the right person? Camille is not Dr. Shadow?"

"Well, the truth is just right before your eyes. The chairman of the International Medical Informatics Conference and the Astral Nova Auction pledged for it."

"She's so humble. How could she let someone else take her place for half a year?"

"The Chime family is supposed to be a prestigious family. How could one of them steal someone else's title?"

"It's no wonder Ms. Chime kept postponing the event to show the Eclipse Stone. She's an imposter!"

"If she's an imposter, is her medicine fake?"

"An imposter! How could the Chime family do this?"

"She should apologize to Dr. Shadow!"

Standing on the stage, Camille watched the guests go from showering her with praise to pointing fingers at her. Her face went pale.

She even noticed that Rhett, the mayor, and her family had left the auction without hesitation! She became frantic.

Her gaze was fixed on Hera again, who was below the stage holding the trophy. Hera's eyes were so cold, seemingly mocking Camille.

Furious yet terrified, Camille balled her fists together. Her nails dug into her skin as she tried her best to stay calm.

"I've never said that I was Dr. Shadow. You guys were the ones who made the assumption. I wanted to explain, but no one cared," she put on a scared expression, trying to defend herself.

Tears pooled in her eyes, and her voice choked. It was as if she were the victim. The guests couldn't bring themselves to blame her.

Hera snorted coldly. "Oh, really? What about your medicine? Did the people make it for you?"

Camille hadn't tried to take the Dr. Shadow title on purpose, but she did sell the special medication to the public when it was supposed to be Dr. Shadow's invention.

She claimed that it wasn't intentional, but her actions told otherwise.

Camille gulped, hoping that someone could step in and shut Hera's mouth.

She then said as if there was a lump in her throat, developed Divine Medicine myself. I've been bearing the idea of it and started my research years ago. I didn't plagiarize or imitate anyone's product!"

Instead of exposing her, Hera played along. "I see, so the Chime family has been formulating this harmful drug since a long time ago."

Camille's heart sank, and she raised her voice. "Nonsense! The Food and Drug Administration has approved it! It's safe for consumption!" "Is that so?" Hera narrowed her eyes skeptically.

Vincent had a bad feeling about this. He inwardly cursed Camille for being an idiot.

Many of the guests had actually taken Divine Medicine. Right now they were staring at Camille, who was on the stage, as if they would pounce on her and skin her alive if the medicine was harmful. Content

Their stares gave her goosebumps, but she remained firm with her stance. "It's safe. There's nothing wrong with Divine Medicine."

Hera sneered mockingly, "So much

for the so-called Chime family who

claims to have a hundred years of history in the medical field. You can't even distinguish poison andO medicine. This is the basics."

Camille frowned, unable to comprehend the meaning behind those words.

But she would know soon.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Medicine! Give me the medicine!" A hysteric woman barged into the banquet hall abruptly, bulldozing her way to the stage toward Camille. "Ms. Chime, give me the medicine!"

"Where did this crazy woman come from? Security! Get her offstage!" Julia stepped forward to stop the crazy woman.

When she finally recognized the woman's face, she was surprised. "Florence? What happened to you?"

As if possessed, Florence pushed Julia away and threw herself at Camille. "Ms. Chime, give me the medicine. The special medication. I want the special medication!"
