Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 588

Silas Thorne refused to give anyone an inch. Left with no other options, Julian Sinclair swallowed his suffocating frustration, completely powerless against the man as he watched the experiment proceed.

Just as Silas had declared, Vivienne Sinclair would not be participating. This demonstration was entirely for Willow Horgan, a definitive proof of her innocence.

As a result, a rather comical scene unfolded at the summit. What was meant to be a head-to-head challenge was now a solo performance by Willow, while Vivienne lay motionless off to the side, playing dead.

Though she had successfully dodged the experiment by feigning collapse, her complexion was dreadful. She remained stiff, her skin deathly pale. Hundreds of eyes in the venue—some subtle, some blazing, others filled with contempt or disbelief—were locked onto her.

The collective stares felt like thousands of needles piercing her skin, making Vivienne’s cheeks burn with shame. She didn't dare open her eyes.

Even worse was the looming dread of Willow's results. If Willow actually succeeded, how would Vivienne survive the fallout? How could she possibly spin a lie to justify herself in front of this entire crowd?

In stark contrast, Willow remained completely unfazed under the spotlight. Her movements were fluid, professional, and flawlessly precise.

For the first step, her fingers expertly handled the pipette, keeping the margin of error down to a perfect zero. She steadily drew the high-activity stem cell reagent and injected it smoothly into the incubator.

Next, she adjusted the centrifuge dial, inputting the exact speed and temperature parameters. Faced with the complex, rapidly shifting data on the micro-gene sequencer, she didn't show a hint of panic. A quick glance from the corner of her eye was all it took to identify a minor parameter deviation before she reached out and smoothly calibrated the machine.

Throughout the entire process, she worked without an assistant or a single reference sheet. Relying purely on her own expertise, she single-handedly executed one of the most grueling, top-tier experimental procedures in the industry.

As she worked, Silas stood just half a step behind her workstation, his gaze never leaving her. He stayed close enough to shield her from the probing, malicious eyes of the crowd, creating an impenetrable bubble of calm around her.
