Chapter 740

The battle between Vivian Laurent and Zoe Chamberlain over the true identity of Dr. Luna intensified. Every time Vivian presented evidence, Zoe would immediately counter with fabricated proofs of her own.

The situation grew increasingly absurd. Vivian initially wanted to ignore it, but the imposter's relentless provocations became impossible to overlook.

Isabella Langley voiced her concern. "Viv, you need to prove you're Dr. Luna immediately. More people are contacting Zoe by the day. She's definitely plotting something."

"I'll handle it." Vivian's eyes turned icy. "Investigate who's backing Zoe. This media frenzy is moving too fast to be organic."

Worried about potential victims, Vivian logged into the Medical Summit forum. She posted irrefutable evidence: screenshots of published papers, backend login records, experimental data, and documented surgical cases performed under her Dr. Luna identity.

Predictably, Zoe soon released her own "research records" and fabricated credentials. Though Vivian instantly recognized them as forgeries, netizens struggled to tell truth from fiction.

"This is more dramatic than a Shakespeare play!"

"At this point, I just want to know who the real Dr. Luna is."

"I'm team Vivian. Zoe's clearly copying her."

"Zoe raised doubts first. She seems more credible."

Public opinion became increasingly polarized.

Vivian issued a direct challenge. "Since someone claims to be Dr. Luna, let's settle this with medical skill. A public simulated surgery will reveal the truth."

"No problem," Zoe responded immediately.

Privately, Zoe panicked. "Annika, have you lost your mind? I can't possibly compete with Dr. Luna!"

"You're a doctor too. What's there to fear?"

"Dr. Luna's a prodigy! I'm just average!" Zoe trembled uncontrollably. "I'll be exposed!"

Annika Heilbronn smirked. "Relax. She won't make it to the venue. Absence means forfeiture. Public opinion will side with you then."

She'd already devised a plan. If Vivian couldn't be touched directly, her loved ones would make excellent targets. Any injury among them would force Vivian to divide her attention.

Thinking of how Master Zero would assist her, Annika's lips curled into a sinister smile.
