Chapter 665: Her eyes scanned the endless stream of data flashing across the monitor-detailed reports on genetic diseases, complex sequences from Whitney's gene technology. Then, with absolute certainty, she declared, "We don't need this technology. I'm developing a new one from scratch. Our experiment will move forward using that.” True to her word, she set to work immediately.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhitney watched from the sidelines, a smirk creeping onto her lips. She had once thought Khloe was impressive, but this? This was laughable.
The technology she had given Khloe wasn't sflawed theory-it was the culmination of years of genetic research, refined and perfected. It wasn't something a person could just "invent" overnight. If breakthroughs were that simple, the field of genetics would have been conquered long ago.
Khloe was too full of herself.
Across the lab, a researcher hesitated before speaking in a cautious tone. "Miss Evans, are you certain? Developing gene technology isn't easy. If we alter it now, all our existing data will becobsolete. If we ever need to reference the original version, it'll be lost forever." Another scientist added, "We shouldn't take such a gamble. If we proceed with the existing technology, we might still have a chance to refine it." They assumed Khloe was acting out of desperation-an emotional response to Henrik's and Laura's deteriorating condition. What they didn't realize was that Khloe wasn't panicked. She was completely in control.

"Khloe, I know you're under immense pressure, but you need to be careful. Rushing this could lead to serious consequences."

Meeting the wary stares of Charlotte and the other researchers, Khloe remained composed, her voice carrying quiet conviction. "I understand your concerns. But trust me—I wouldn't take such a risk if I weren't absolutely sure. My mother's and Henrik's lives depend on this. More than that, this research represents the collective effort of everyone here. I would never risk turning it into a disaster for the sake of personal ambition." It was only natural for the other researchers to be concerned about her decision, even though she had weighed every possibility. Unlike Khloe, they had no insight into the calculations running through her mind.
Charlotte caught the unwavering determination in Khloe's eyes and knew there was no point in arguing further. Letting out a quiet sigh, she stepped aside and said, "Since your mind is set, there's nothing more to discuss. We'll get everything ready for you."
Developing gene-editing technology required extensive groundwork. Charlotte and the others lacked direct experience in this field, but they could assist by gathering the necessary materials for the upcoming experiments.
As Khloe and Charlotte set to work, Whitney, who had been restrained and brought into the lab, scoffed "You're unbelievably arrogant, Khloe. Do you really think you can just invent gene-editing technology on a whim? You probably don't even know where to begin."
