NovelStartChapter 63 Chapter 63: "Well, that explains it! Khloe's probably another man's daughter. Nothing good ever comes from that." "So Khloe took the lead role in Peaks of Eternity as stwisted payback against the Evans family? How vicious! Her mother had no decency, and now Sloane's suffering for it!" "Hey, watch what you're saying. You don't know the whole story, so stop dragging her mother's nthrough the mud." The comments poured in, many laced with disdain for Khloe.
Yet, the mood at the banquet couldn't have been more different. The guests, hailing from influential families, were well-versed in the secrets and intricacies of each other's lives.
Three years ago, rumors had swirled that Khloe was behind Lorraine's sudden fall from the stairs, causing a once-promising genius to vanish without a trace. Something about the situation never added up.
Claire Watson, Eric's mother, watched Khloe with a keen eye, noticing how the young woman's presence eclipsed not just Sloane, but the other young ladies in the room.
She glanced at Eric, who was staring at Khloe with a faraway look in his eyes, and remarked, “Are you regretting it now? I warned you back then-Khloe's mother had intelligence and talent. Even if her daughter had a few rough edges, she would've made a great match. Marrying her would've given you invaluable support, but you were too worried about your image." Claire sighed, her tone heavy with regret.

Now, even if he wished to make things right, it was already too late.
"Mom, enough," Eric muttered, his face tightening with irritation. He exhaled slowly, trying to calm the mix of emotions stirring within him, and steeled himself to approach Khloe.
At the smoment, Sloane noticed Eric preparing to move toward Khloe and felt a pang of anxiety.
Your adventure awaits at galnovsShe had caught the look of infatuation on his face when Khloe appeared, and her jealousy flared.
No way. She couldn't let Khloe outshine her.
With calculated intent, Sloane angled her body to stay out of view and, hidden from the camera and onlookers, reached for the diamond necklace draped around Khloe's neck.
The necklace, though breathtaking, was fragile, held together by delicate silver threads.
If Sloane managed to yank it, she could destroy the necklace, which was a gift from Henrik.
Khloe wouldn't let Sloane destroy it.
Sloane was hoping to provoke her into a reaction, to stir up a scene, and Khloe was more than willing to oblige.
A cold fury flickered in Khloe's eyes as she quickly raised her hand, striking Sloane with a sharp slap across the face.

No one had anticipated that, especially with the live streamrolling, Khloe would slap Sloane in front of everyone. The content is on. novelenglish.net!
Sloane pressed her hand to her stinging cheek, her eyes filling with tears. She staggered back, looking at Khloe with a pitiful expression.
"Khloe, I get it, you don't like me, but it m was just a small disagreement.
You're overreacting!" Her voice was laced with faux hurt, but her eyes gleamed with a wicked satisfaction.
"A small disagreement?" Khloe couldn't help but laugh.
