Animal Whisperer: Take Back My Life and Love Chapter 162: The "Gilded" Assistant

Seeing her own veterinary assistant being guided by three industry titans and "force-fed" knowledge, Nancy felt like she was floating on clouds.

This was incredible. It was essentially like getting three world-class mentors to hand-train her employee for free. What a steal! This was an absolute win!

Meanwhile, outside the infirmary.

Fawks saw the veterinary giants follow Nancy inside and breathed a sigh of relief. He planned to quietly cut the stream and make a run for it. He glanced at the live chat; it was a storm of insults, and his follower count was plummeting. His face grew paler by the second.

Just as his finger was about to hit "End Stream," a heavy arm suddenly draped around his shoulder from behind.

Leon, an employee of Loren Zoo, had appeared out of nowhere. Having completed his internship at the zoo, Leon had successfully secured his degree from Townsville University and was now a full-time staff member.

Standing at a sturdy 185 cm, Leon easily pinned the much shorter Fawks in place. He wore a bright, sun-drenched smile, but his voice was unnervingly steady.

"Leaving already? Didn't you come to Loren Zoo specifically to do a promotional livestream?"

Leon stepped aside, casually pointing at the phone screen. "Look, the popularity of your room is still so high, and the audience interaction is so... passionate. It wouldn't be right to end the stream so early, would it?"

Fawks panicked, his voice trembling. "What... what are you doing?! This is illegal!"

Leon's smile grew even wider as he patted Fawks's shoulder like an old friend.

"Illegal? Not at all. We're just being hospitable and encouraging a 'legal cooperation.'" He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. "Besides, you wouldn't want us to sue you for breach of contract, resulting in you losing all your fans and being blacklisted from the internet, right?"

Fawks's face turned white as a sheet. Any thought of struggling vanished instantly.

Then, Leon took the gimbal and pointed the camera directly at the transparent glass of the infirmary.

Inside, Professor Nathan, Director Garrett, Commissioner Quinton, and their elite teams were gathered around Nancy, watching with rapt attention as she massaged the red panda. As she worked, she gave a soft-spoken explanation. These experts—men you'd normally only see at high-level academic summits—were nodding like diligent students, some even pulling out their phones to record the details.

Leon smirked, his voice loud and clear:

"Didn't you just say... that our Miss Nancy's technique was just random poking?"

Fawks's face turned beet-red, as if he had been slapped across the face. He felt a stinging heat in his cheeks.

Leon's smile only sharpened as he helpfully zoomed the camera in.

"Look—even Director Garrett is learning the technique from Miss Nancy! This livestream of yours is becoming quite educational, isn't it?"

The live chat exploded:

"Is this host even a vet? He was just talking nonsense about her 'randomly poking' earlier!"

"An amateur trying to critique a pro. Hilarious. What a total train wreck for the host!"

"Miss Nancy's technique is so steady; you can tell she's professional grade just by looking!"

"Talk about young and talented! If she opened a pet hospital or a boarding center, I'd be the first to send my cats and dogs there! I'd trust her completely!!"

Leon handed the device back to Fawks with a calm but meaningful look.

"Everyone see that? The red panda is being cared for by a team of top experts. You can rest easy now, right?"

He paused, his voice dropping slightly.

"Actually, our zoo has been recruiting vets lately. We've interviewed several and the talks went well, but at the last second, they always back out... I wonder if someone behind the scenes is giving us 'special attention.'"

He glanced at the lens, adding as if as an afterthought:

"Just like this morning. The surgeon who was scheduled for the operation backed out at the 11th hour. The red panda's surgery almost couldn't happen."

"Luckily, Miss Nancy called in some favors and brought in these experts to save the day."

The words were subtle, but the meaning was crystal clear.

The live chat caught on instantly:

"Wait, what?? So someone is intentionally sabotaging them?"

"I knew it! Loren Zoo gets hate way too often to be a coincidence!"

"These three titans can't be bought with money." Just how strong are Miss Nancy's connections and reputation to be able to call them all in at once?!"

"I just saw Miss Nancy's phone screen is cracked to pieces and she hasn't replaced it, yet she's willing to spend a fortune to get experts for a red panda... I'm literally crying!!"

"Where are all those haters from earlier? Why are they so quiet now?"

"I can't let a Director this good lose money! I'm buying a yearly pass right now. Join me!"

In the office of Summers Corp Veterinary Hospital.

Ginnie and Luna stared at the screen in stunned silence. Luna's nails dug deep into her palms.

How?! Why was Autumn—the girl who could barely string a sentence together—currently surrounded by three top-tier titans, receiving their kind and personal guidance?!
