NovelsFreeChapter 29 Chapter 29: "Sloane, who are you talking to? Khloe?" Both women turned to see Eric walking toward them, flanked by a group of Starbucks employees carrying coffee bags-clearly a visit to the set.
Sloane's eyes brightened, and she quickly clung to Eric, feigning weakness.
"Eric, you're here. I ran into Khloe, and it seems she's a background actor. I tried to kindly tell her to go home, but she insulted me." She played the part of the considerate stepsister expertly, hiding her malice behind a sweet act.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEric's gaze flicked over to Khloe at the mention of her name. "Enough, Khloe. You've stirred up enough trouble. At your level, trying to break into the entertainment industry is just embarrassing. Stop fooling yourself," he taunted.
Despite his mocking words, his eyes kept drifting toward Khloe, his gaze lingering on her expression.
He had been secretly reaching out to Karl through his connections to learn about Khloe, but Karl had been silent, and the Russell family denied ever seeing her.
Eric had spent restless nights wondering where Khloe had disappeared to. He certainly hadn't expected to see her here today.
If Khloe was really here as a background actor, did that mean Karl had left her behind? In that case...
Eric suddenly hesitated, unable to continue his thought. He didn't fully understand why he wanted Khloe back so badly.
Sloane couldn't contain her glee. “Eric, don't say that. Khloe might get hurt,” she said softly, pretending to care about Khloe. "Khloe, even though Eric's words are harsh, he's speaking the truth. You've just gotten out of prison. If word gets out, how can you stay in this industry? It would be better if you just went home." "Who's that fake woman? She's makingwant to puke!" A woman's voice suddenly interrupted, cutting through Sloane's act.
Khloe glanced up to see Tess storming over, standing firmly in front of her like a mother protecting her child, which made Khloe laugh.

Didn't the 'scandal video' at the engagement party make you realize anything? Next to Khloe, you're a joke. Stop spouting nonsense!" Sloane was taken aback when Tess defended Khloe. Tess, after all, was the CEO of Starshine Entertainment. She wasn't just a powerful figure in the industry; she had bankrolled multiple hit s, introduced the award- winning actor Rafael Carter, and had a hand in producing sof the most popular variety shows.
Sloane's face turned bright red with fury. Normally, she would've fired back without hesitation, but she still hoped to work with Tess in the future. She quickly put on a hurt look and pouted. "Tess, how could you say such things about me? It really hurts. Everything I've achieved, I've earned with my own effort. We have projects together, so please don't speak aboutlike that." "You're callingTess? Are we that familiar?" Tess shot back, dismissing Sloane and continuing her sarcasm. "I'm not like you, someone with no real talent who just knows how to show off. Everyone's heard about your scandals!"
Sloane bit her lip, tears starting to m form in her eyes as she played the victim. "Miss Byrd, you must be mistaken I've always looked up to you. Why are you speaking like this about me? Did Khloe say something?"
Sloane shot a pathetic glance at Eric, hoping he would intervene.
The way this two-faced woman spoke ill of Khloe pushed Tess over the edge making her furious.
