Chapter 1727

Receiving such a rare opportunity to participate in an international exchange program was not only a strong affirmation of Karina's professional abilities but also a perfect chance to broaden her horizons and elevate her career.

However, Sera who had been scheming with her saw this as another opportunity to escalate her plans.

She approached Karina privately, slipping her a small packet of white powder. "Dr. Norman," she whispered, her voice low and deliberate, "while you're traveling with the director, find an opportunity to slip this into his drink. Once it's done, I'll give you another hundred thousand." Karina's eyes widened in horror, and she instinctively shook her head. "No! That's illegal. I won't do it."

Sera's expression darkened, her voice turning cold and sharp. "Don't forget! You already took my money and agreed to help me."

She leaned in closer, her words dripping with menace. "If you refuse, I'll expose you. I'll tell everyone you accepted money and secretly took photos of the director. Your career will be over, and you'll be humiliated.
