NovelsFreeChapter 30 Chapter 30: "You've earned everything through your 'hard work'? Your version of hard work is just scheming your way up the social ladder, right? Don't think we don't know about your tricks. And you have the nerve to mock Khloe? After everything you've done to her, you still flaunt yourself? Pathetic! If I had a sister like you, I would've stopped her from growing up just to keep her from causing harm." Tess' words left everyone speechless, and there was no way for Sloane to save her dignity.
Sloane's face drained of color with rage as her victim act crumbled, and she shot a venomous glare at Khloe. What kind of hold had this wretched woman gained over Tess? Eric, irritated by Tess' attack on Sloane, frowned and spoke. "Miss Byrd, don't overstep. Sloane is my fiancée, and it's not for you to criticize her, especially given..." He shot a pointed glance at Khloe. "Khloe, didn't you say you were done with me? Then why are you slandering Sloane behind my back and making trouble for her? Can't you just move on? I've told you before, stop trying to tearand Sloane apart. You have no shot." Tess laughed in disbelief at his audacity. Khloe was now Henrik's fiancée. Eric could never match Henrik's power.

After all, like attracts like." "Well said!" Tess clapped her hands and laughed. Khloe truly lived up to being Henrik's fiancée. She was extraordinary.
Eric's veins bulged with fury, but he kept his composure, courtesy of his family's strict upbringing. He took a deep breath, fighting to keep his temper in check. Eric's mood darkened, his eyes narrowing as he spoke. "Miss Byrd, if I'm not mistaken, you have backing from Evergreen Capital, correct? I hear they're in direct competition with the Evans family in the arms industry. Now, you're going all out for Khloe, defending her like this? Are you helping her or the Evans family? Sure, Khloe shares blood with them, but she's been cut off from them for ages. She's not someone you can use. Don't waste your energy-it's only going to backfire." His words were calculated, pretending to warn Tess not to use Khloe, but in reality, he was implying that Khloe held no value for the Evans family, subtly planting doubt between Tess and Khloe. He was subtly reminding Tess that no matter what Tess' relationship with Khloe was, if any conflict of interest arose, Khloe could easily turn on her.
Khloe's gaze was icy. Eric, the heir to the Watson family, was certainly more calculating than Sloane. What Eric didn't know was that Evergreen Capital was actually Henrik's company, which had recently been transferred to her. She was already the owner of Evergreen Capital, rendering Eric's taunts meaningless. Yet Eric's desperate attempts to create division only exposed his underlying fear to her.
Khloe asked, "Eric, what are you so afraid of?" МОЯЕ UРĐЛТЕŞ IV GAŁOØV=ŁŞ.СØ[ Eric's confident posture faltered, his brow furrowing as he fell silent for a beat.
"Wait..." Khloe said, taking a step closer. Her eyes glinted with a hint of mischief, and a subtle smile curled at the corners of her lips. Her lips parted gently as her breath brushed against his ear. But when she spoke, her words hit Eric like a storm. "You still have feelings for me, don't you?" Eric's expression changed instantly, torn between guilt and anger. He couldn't meet Khloe's eyes, feeling as though they were seeing straight through him. His lips quivered as he tried to find the right words to push back.
"Khloe, stop fooling yourself. You're disgusting!" Eric attempted to keep his cool, but his voice wavered with an undercurrent of vulnerability.

Khloe let out a chilling laugh, one that felt like a direct insult to Eric. Sloane, watching closely, caught every m momentoher eyes, Khloe was always working her charm on Eric. Sloane had been with Eric for three years, and she could see how effortlessly Khloe had ensnared him.
Jealousy ate away at her, made worse by the scandal at the om engagement party that had already started to plant doubts in Eric's mind about her. She couldn't allow Khloe to continue influencing Eric.
