Chapter 233 Chapter 233: The thought of Khloe enduring insults and scorn made Henrik's eyes blaze with fury.
Khloe couldn't argue with him.
He was right; the price for maintaining her facade was steeper than she had realized, and the hostility she'd face would only grow worse.
The realization made Khloe playfully narrow her eyes at Henrik. "This is your fault." Meanwhile, in Triaham, at the Dayton family estate, a woman with graying hair removed her lab coat in the underground biological lab.

She's nothing but a selfish manipulator!" Whitney Dayton took the phone, her eyes narrowing as she watched the video. It showed Khloe publicly admitting that she didn't love Henrik and was merely using him.
Whitney observed the video of Khloe, whose beauty was undeniable and captivating. Her face gave nothing away, but there was an unmistakable coldness in her eyes.
The butler, watching Whitney carefully, subtly criticized, "She has the audacity to openly admit she's using him." "Madam, you can't let her be with Henrik!" he added.
"Sheri had you showthis video, huh?" Whitney looked up, her expression unreadable.
The butler seemed caught off guard, his eyes darting nervously. "Yes. She did, but she's only concerned about Henrik's well-being. Khloe Evans hasn't even married Henrik, and she's already so bold. If she becomes his wife, who knows what will happen? Madam, you're Henrik's aunt. If you remind him, he'll see through her." Whitney responded icily, "Did I ask for your thoughts on her? I asked if it was Sheri who gave you the video. Do you remember whose butler you are? If you're so eager to listen to Sheri, perhaps you should resign and work for her instead." gvlnovlsis a world of wonder The butler's face drained of color, and he quickly offered an apology, not daring to speak further as he hurried out of the room.
Whitney's gaze fell on the phone resting on the table, her brow furrowing in thought.
How could Henrik possibly be attracted to such a deceitful, arrogant, and ignorant woman? Or was Khloe really Henrik's fiancée? Khloe remained oblivious to the fact that someone in Triaham was silently badmouthing her to Henrik's aunt. She was preoccupied with establishing a new biology lab. The location had been selected, but she still needed to bring in skilled personnel.
Although she backed research projects across the globe, they either involved too many stakeholders to integrate into her lab or were too sensitive to be made public.
As a result, she needed to start from scratch and recruit fresh talent.
On the "Peaks of Eternity" film set, Khloe's scenes were nearly finished. Today was the final day of shooting. She arrived early to get her makeup done and prepare.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she finished her makeup and was about to head out for the last scene, a loud commotion outside caught her attention. Intrigued, she stepped outside.
Upon arriving at the filming site, Khloe spotted an unexpected face-Sloane.
Dressed in lavish clothes and wearing a self-satisfied grin, Sloane was overseeing a group of people as they wreaked havoc on the set that had originally belonged to Khloe's crew. The "Peaks of Eternity" crew had carefully arranged the scenery, but Sloane's group was trampling over it, kicking things aside with little regard. The others stood by, visibly distressed, but powerless to stop the destruction. "Sloane, causing trouble again? Haven't you humiliated yourself enough already?" Khloe said in a chilling tone.
Sloane flinched at Khloe's sharp tone, her eyes momentarily showing guilt before she quickly regained her m composure. "Khloe, I'm sorry, but I paid a hefty price to rent this place. It's mine now, and you have no authority to stop me!"
Khloe furrowed her brow, her frustration clear. Tess, standing next Ο to her, turned to the producer and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you handle the site arrangements properly?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
