The assistant could only look at his shoes, on the verge of tears, as the CEO left him alone to face Miss Emily. He was truly afraid that the President's daughter would take it out on him.
As expected, when Emily saw Hayden leaving without even looking back, her determination made her eyes turn red with anger. She turned her head and saw his assistant standing there like a statue, causing her to throw a glare at him.
"What are you standing there for? Drive, take me to the venue."
"Yes."
Augury Square was already crowded with people, and several chairs were placed on both sides of the competition platform. These were reserved for the judges.
In the center stood an elderly man who was currently speaking. He appeared to be around fifty or sixty years old, with salt-and-pepper hair. He was dressed in a black formal suit, exuding an elegant and steady demeanor.
Time had taken its toll on his face, but even from that aged countenance, one could imagine that he must have been quite handsome in his youth.
"Thank you to all the medical personnel and members of society for your full support of this competition. The winner of the triennial Abona Medical Conference will have the honor of entering Presidential Library."
"This is the key."
As he spoke, he placed the plum-shaped key he held in his hand into a tray held by a hostess standing nearby, in full view of everyone. The appearance of the key immediately drew everyone's attention.
Is this the key to the Presidential Library?
Below the stage, the representatives from various institutions began to show signs of restlessness. The atmosphere was lively yet tinged with tension.
Next, a man with black eyes and dressed in a black suit walked up to the stage from the side. He confidently walked up to the podium, holding a name card in his hand.
On the stage, the host wore a warm smile and greeted the audience, while beneath the stage, there was already a hidden undercurrent.
Kyson appeared with his direct disciple from Almond Hall and his granddaughter Leah. As soon as they took their seats, they heard a mocking laughter from nearby.
"Are you from Almond Hall daring to participate in the competition this year? Besides Kyson, the younger generation from your sect is really inferior one after another."
"I heard that your high-achieving granddaughter made a mistake even in a small emergency surgery at Akloit, resulting in a compensation of five million."
"Such a disgrace. With this level, I wonder how many more people will suffer in the future."
As the elderly man's voice fell, Leah immediately felt the mocking and disdainful gazes from those around her, making her too ashamed to lift her head.
How did that incident... end up reaching Onistead?
She clenched her teeth and thought in frustration: It's all Cheyenne's fault!
Kyson also felt losing face. He had gained fame at a young age and led a smooth life, earning him respect in his later years.
He never expected that in his old age, he would be mocked by others.
After the remark, Kyson didn't hold back. "Leandro, what's there for you to be proud of? So what if your Zamora family is full of talents? After you kick the bucket, Moon Hall will end up in someone else's hands."
Leandro was the current head of Moon Hall, already seventy-two years old this year.
When his only son, Willie Zamora, was young, he fell in love with an orphan girl. They were incompatible in terms of social status, so Leandro drove him out of the Zamora family.
Over the years, Leandro had regretted his decision, unable to sleep many nights.
Unfortunately, despite his efforts, he couldn't find his son.
