Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1028 - Chapter 1028 Chapter 1001 Seeing Through at a Glance

Chapter 1028: Chapter 1001: Seeing Through at a Glance Chapter 1028: Chapter 1001: Seeing Through at a Glance “If I’m not suitable, then your existence in the entire Research Institute is nothing more than occupying a quota and idling away the Days,” Kiara snapped.

Although everyone usually engaged in open and covert verbal sparring, most of it involved veiled insults within their words. Kiara’s approach of being blunt and unorthodox clearly put Mr. Russel at a disadvantage, leaving him unable to maintain even a pretense of friendliness.

“My expertise is in Clinical practices, which complements the other members of our Psychological Group perfectly. I personally think this pairing is quite fitting. As for you,” Kiara gave Mr. Russel a once-over, her sneer laden with meaning.

If Mr. Russel had any sense, he would drop the subject now, but unfortunately, someone seemed eager for a beating.

“For someone specializing in Clinical work at your age, aren’t you a bit too young? Even if there was a pairing, do you really think it would be your turn? Little Sister, what’s your father’s full name? Let us hear it, just in case your Brother might need your family’s help someday!”

“Enough talk, let’s get back to the real work!” Patrick attempted to save face and pull Kiara away, only to be pushed aside by her.

At this point, Kiara felt no need to spare Mr. Russel any dignity.

She stepped forward and whispered something, causing Mr. Russel’s face to instantly change color.

“You…?!” How did she know his deeply held secret?

Kiara smirked triumphantly, “Do you recognize my identity now?”

Mr. Russel was so stunned by what Kiara had just whispered that he was at a loss for words. The others hadn’t heard what she said, but they saw Kiara’s single comment turn Mr. Russel ashen.

“Boss?” the other members asked Mr. Russel, puzzled.

“You don’t acknowledge me? Do you still insist that I am just a nobody who got in through nepotism? Fine, I’ll speak up loudly about what I just mentioned and let everyone help analyze whether I’m right or not. What I wanted to say is–”

“Stop!” Mr. Russel hurriedly interrupted Kiara.

Kiara lifted her chin proudly, her expression clearly demanding: Beg me! Yet she was relentless with her words.

“My last name is Chen. I am a nobody who got in through my family’s connections,” she said provocatively.

“Dr. Clark! I was wrong! What I said just now was all in jest. It’s clear to see that you are no ordinary person for being able to join Patrick and the others!”

The stark difference in Mr. Russel’s behavior before and after left everyone amazed, watching Kiara–what exactly had she said that gripped Mr. Russel so firmly?

“I cannot accept your praise. I am just a nobody, I did rely on connections to get in, and all the people in our team are poor, we have no abilities, none of us are as impressive as you!”

“Dr. Clark, I was wrong! What I said earlier was just a joke. Patrick was once the top of our field, and his decision to Join the Armed Forces was an act of integrity and nobility, not something that can be measured with Money!”

Mr. Russel feared that Kiara would reveal his secret. As arrogant as he had been moments earlier, he was now groveling, his hypocrisy slapping him in the face.

“Remember from now on, they are the pillars of our country, the hope of our nation, and they deserve our respect!”

Kiara spoke in a formal tone, intending to teach this misguided braggart a lesson. Contrary to his usual arrogance, Mr. Russel nodded continuously in agreement.

When you have someone’s weak spot, you are always right!

“George, when you’re doing research, getting too cocky is the last thing you want. You’re showing a bit of arrogance now. You need to focus on your work in the future and stay away from people you shouldn’t mess with, got it?”

George…?

The older brothers really wanted to laugh; Kiara was just too awesome. Although they didn’t know what she said to hit Mr. Russel’s vulnerable spot instantly, the way she scolded him was inexplicably satisfying.

“Kiara, what on earth did you say just now?”

After Mr. Russel left with his tail between his legs, the members of the Psychological Group couldn’t wait to ask.

You have to admit that although the scene was simple and straightforward, it was incredibly refreshing. Everyone had wanted to take Mr. Russel down a notch for a long time; he was just too full of himself, and they had been sick of his attitude!

“Those who walk the night roads often will eventually run into ghosts. The hubris of his over-educated brain was bound to lead to his downfall sooner or later,” Kiara said nonchalantly.

Everyone understood then; she must have got hold of Mr. Russel’s weak spot.

“It doesn’t matter what you said, as long as we can see that pompous Mr. Russel defeated, we’re happy. We must treat Kiara to lunch today! Right, Team Leader?”

“You…” Patrick was still wondering what exactly Kiara had said. Kiara knew what he was worried about; these people were quite upright.

So she gestured for him to come closer, and when Patrick leaned in, Kiara whispered something to his ear that made his eyes widen in surprise.

“Are you serious?!”

“If it were fake, would he listen to me like that?”

“But it’s something none of us could see, how did you figure it out after just one look?” Patrick was very skeptical.

Kiara patted his shoulder, “Patrick, although you all think I’m young, in fact, my clinical experience is much more than any of you. I completed my university credits two years ahead of schedule, and before that, my teacher had already been training me. Admittedly, I’m not as specialized as you in academia and psychological issues, but clinical work is something I’ve been studying for many years. Before, you all thought I was a parachuted member, and I never mentioned these things. But true gold does not fear the furnace; the road reveals a horse’s strength, and time reveals a person’s heart.”

Kiara’s words were profound, and the tone didn’t seem fitting for her age. Coupled with her previous success in reprogramming those heartless witnesses who refused to help, and now silencing the arrogant Mr. Russel with a single sentence, Patrick’s impression of her changed significantly, and his gaze toward her gained a hint of admiration.

The other three watched as Kiara not only downgraded Mr. Russel to “George” but even made Patrick “Little Patrick,” finding it particularly amusing but equally curious.

“We’re two different research directions, there’s no inherent hierarchy between us. Since the higher-ups have put us in one group, it means we’re meant to work together. I’ll be counting on the guidance of my seniors in the future.”

This statement, if it had been made when she first arrived, would have seemed insubstantial and unlikely to convince this highly educated professional group, even coming across as arrogant.

But having just put Mr. Russel in his place, her words carried a different weight when she spoke them now, earning their trust immediately.

Kiara could tell by their expressions that she had almost won them over, feeling secretly triumphant, but her face remained impassive.

“Strictly speaking, I shouldn’t be sharing this with you, Patrick. In our profession, we have rules against revealing patient confidentiality, but I’ve always been compassionate. I can’t stand to see people who don’t take their medication properly, and Comrade George seems very proud. He probably won’t take his medication as he should, so Patrick, since you’re so close to him, you’ll have to advise him in the future. Concealing an illness is never good.”

“But I’m still very curious, you must have met Mr. Russel for the first time today, right? How could you identify his problem in just a few minutes without even having interacted with him?”

Who would have thought, Mr. Russel had issues!
