LittleNovelChapter 589: Khloe then told Whitney, "Ms. Dayton, thank you for today. It's late, and we must be going." Whitney offered no reply.
The bodyguards, once formidable obstacles, now hesitated no longer and stepped aside, allowing Khloe, Gloria, and Henrik to leave.
Khloe and Henrik sat in the car as it pulled away from the Dayton family's house. It wasn't until then that Gloria snapped out of her daze and exclaimed, "Miss Evans, you're incredible." Khloe responded with a smile, "You've said that several times.” "But it's worth repeating. Sheri and the others really went too far. If it hadn't been for your skills, we wouldn't have made it out unharmed today." Given the stakes of their wager, Henrik's involvement was limited, preventing him from protecting Khloe openly, which would risk compromising her future position.

Once she finished speaking with Gloria, Henrik turned to her and said, "After everything that happened today, you've completely fallen out with Sheri. Given her nature, she'll likely seek even harsher revenge. Are you prepared for that?" Khloe raised an eyebrow, her expression showing a hint of curiosity.

As Khloe wondered about Henrik's proposed compensation, his intense gaze focused passionately on her lips. Khloe immediately understood Henrik's insinuation. Her lips twitched slightly as she turned her gaze away. "You're truly boring." Who else would consider taking advantage of someone as a form of compensation? It was almost impressive that Henrik could say it with such a straight face.
Henrik, undeterred by her remark, didn't look the least bit upset. With effortless ease, he stretched out a long arm, draping it over Khloe's shoulder. His bright, clear eyes glimmered with amusement. "If you insist on missing this opportunity, I suppose there's nothing I can do." Khloe rolled her eyes discreetly.
Moments later, the car pulled over.
Once home, Khloe spent the afternoon playing with Snow White, her relaxed demeanor a rare sight. Meanwhile, Henrik headed to the courtyard, focused on feeding his crocodiles.
