The tall, burly cameraman hesitated, wanting to remind Stella that they were live worldwide and every word was being recorded. But before he could say anything, Orlando shot him a glare.

“Hope you can back up what you just said,” Orlando said, grinning from ear to ear.

He felt like a genius.

He was the first to catch onto how special Stella was.

The buzz was basically serving itself up on a silver platter.

“Once he finishes his medicine, reach out to the Clusia delegation. I’ll be there with my people,” Stella said slowly, making sure Orlando caught every word.

Orlando raised an eyebrow, curiosity written all over his face. He asked, “Are you really that confident?”

Not far away, Quinto was representing Tongalia and going on and on about Herbal Medicine. But everything coming out of his mouth was straight from Clusia Traditional Medicine; he was this close to claiming Clusia Traditional Medicine actually originated from Herbal Medicine.

Stella fixed her gaze on Quinto, her deep amber eyes full of meaning. She said, “Just wait and see.”

With that, she took Emily and Halcyon and left.

On stage, Quinto was wrapping up his speech, his voice full of emotion.

He said, “Foreign medicine and Clusia Traditional Medicine both have their own strengths. Ultimately, both serve patients,” he said, placing a hand on Pablo’s shoulder. “To a patient, what matters isn’t pride, but who can save a life.”

At the VIP table, Cain, bored out of his mind and almost yawning, suddenly paused and looked up at Quinto.

“Stella? That’s exactly what you said this morning,” Emily said, frozen, her eyes going wide in disbelief.

Emily thought, stunned, ‘Wait, isn’t that the same line Stella used this morning?

‘How can Tongalia be this shameless?

‘Not only did they steal our acupuncture, now they’re even copying our words?’

“Mr. Vega, that’s exactly what happened at the restaurant this morning,” the cameraman blurted out, wide- eyed. Their crew had been there, too, saw the whole thing unfold, but damn, none of them caught it on film.

Orlando rubbed his chin, raising an eyebrow.

‘That girl doesn’t look like someone who’d let herself get walked all over,’ Orlando thought.

Just as he was thinking that, a calm voice rang out. Someone said, “Wait a second.”

Her voice was perfectly pitched; everyone in the International Convention Center heard it loud and clear. Instinctively, all eyes turned her way as Stella strolled right up to the center, ending up face to face with Quinto.

People couldn’t help but think, ‘Not her again.’

Pablo was practically fuming, his mustache bristling and eyes bulging.

‘First, she ditched my speech to hit the restroom, now she’s cutting off Quinto? Seriously, do Clusians have any sense of etiquette at all?’ Pablo thought.

Quinto put on his best elderly gentleman smile, but to everyone else, it looked more like he was itching for a fight.

Quinto thought, ‘Young people these days.

‘Always so hot-headed.

‘Look at that. She couldn’t even sit still and had to jump in herself!

“Young lady, is there something you want?” Quinto asked, acting all cheerful.

Stella replied, “Funny, that sounded really familiar to me.”

Quinto chuckled. “Just something that came to me just now.”

Stella smiled, too, her usual coolness softening for a moment, leaving everyone a little stunned. “Oh, really? So, Mr. Wilkerson, don’t you think you should give credit where it’s due?”

Quinto played dumb. “Credit for what?”

He thought, ‘Bet you’re pissed, aren’t you, kid?

‘Let’s see what you can do about it.’

“That speech you just gave? Mr. Penn said the exact same thing seven years ago at the International Medical Forum, representing Clusia Traditional Medicine. The video is literally everywhere online,” Stella said.

She snapped her fingers.
