The conference officially began in the afternoon.
Roxanne and Larry had arrived at the venue half an hour earlier.
As Roxanne observed the people entering the venue, she could not help but grow increasingly apprehensive.
Just as Larry had told her, the people who attended the event were all prominent figures in the medical field. Although she had never seen them in person, she had seen their pictures on multiple media sources reporting on medical issues.
Larry brought her over to greet them.
“You're Janet?” The moment one of the seniors realized that Roxanne was Janet, a look of doubt crept up his face. “A woman? More so this young?”
Janet had always maintained a mysterious appearance. Everyone only knew that she was Harvey's disciple. They did not expect that she was such a young female.
As they stared at her, they could not help but doubt her.
Roxanne could clearly see the suspicion in his eyes. However, as she had already been used to these sorts of gazes, she smiled nonchalantly and greeted him politely.
Standing by the side, Larry turned to the man and smiled. “Don't be fooled by her youthful appearance. Even I am no match for her in certain aspects.”
As the man listened to Larry, his suspicions increased even more. He observed them with a weird look in his eyes and then smiled. “Since you brought her here, we'll take your word for it.”
Anyone could guess what he was thinking of by his reaction alone.
Larry furrowed his brows and was about to say something when Roxanne interrupted, “Since everyone here is a prominent figure in the medical field, I trust that they will be able to make accurate judgments based on medical practice. Whether I am Janet, or whether Janet can live up to her reputation or not, everyone can make their own deduction after the conference.”
Since these people are doubting me, I shall make sure to put on a good show later.
Larry was slightly taken aback. Shortly after, he nodded and said, “You're right. I didn't think it through.”
The both of them then went back to take their seats.
