LittleNovelChapter 597: If Sheri could treat Naomi this way, what would stop her from doing the sto them? Once they were no longer useful, their fate would likely be worse than Naomi's.
Panic spread through the Dayton family as fear for their own safety gripped them.
Sheri, stunned by the sudden turn of events, stood frozen. The confident mask she had worn moments ago shattered. Her face drained of color as she realized her plan had failed spectacularly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis wasn't how things were supposed to go.
Her lips parted, but no words cout. Her eyes flicked to Henrik, who had not taken his eyes off Khloe. The last shred of hope she had vanished in that moment. Everything had fallen apart.
Whitney's expression mirrored Sheri's shock and disgust.
As a mother, Whitney understood her daughter's nature all too well, and she was furious that Sheri had left such incriminating evidence behind.
Despite her anger, Whitney couldn't forget her role as Sheri's mother. She turned to Khloe. "Khloe, let's talk." While both Khloe and Naomi were victims, it was Khloe who posed the bigger challenge.
Khloe quickly grasped Whitney's intentions. She couldn't help but admire how quickly the Dayton family matriarch had devised a strategy.
Seeing that Khloe remained silent, Whitney added, “A trade." Khloe glanced around at the crowd, noting their mixed expressions. She raised an eyebrow slightly before responding, "Okay." Outside the auction hall, once they were sure they were alone, Whitney spoke, her voice low and direct. “I can give you a patented technology for treating genetic collapse." LVFe$t ChAPFƏRŞ 1 GlKhloe's eyes widened. The possibility of such a technology could save her mother's life.
It was clear that Whitney understood the mess Sheri had created and was willing to offer the technology as a bargaining chip.

But, compared to seeing Sheri behind bars, it's not quite enough." Henrik had once advised that, during negotiations, one should subtly imply the current offer wasn't enough without stating what they truly wanted. Only then could they maximize their leverage.
Whitney's mouth went dry. She knew exactly what Khloe was doing, but she couldn't afford to antagonize her, especially now that Sheri's fate was entirely in Khloe's hands.
After a moment of tense silence, Whitney took a deep breath and asked, "So, what else do you want?" Khloe's lips curled into a light smile. “It's not about what I want, but what you think Sheri is worth." A rush of frustration surged through Whitney. Her throat tightened as she struggled to find the words. Her eyes narrowed in anger. "Fine."
After exhaling deeply to calm herself, Whitney spoke again, revealing an shocking secrete "Henrik never told you, did he? He's sick, and his illness is also genetic collapse."
The shock was plastered on Khloe's face. She hadn't known this.
Whitney's voice was cold and m impassive. "Henrik's condition also requires this gene technology.” Khloe's heart sank.
The choice now lay between sparing Sheri for the moment and obtaining the gene technology or pursuing Speri's punishment and risking her mother's and Henrik's health. The weight of that decision pressed on her. Without hesitation, Khloe spoke. "Deal." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
