LittleNovelChapter 617: Henrik, sitting offstage, felt an unfamiliar knot tighten in his chest. Having cto know Khloe, he had tasked Alan with uncovering every detail of her life.
The reports had felt cold and distant, yet they hadn't stirred much inside him. After all, the people he had dealt with would have gladly gone to prison if it meant they could escape their circumstances.
But now, hearing Khloe speak of her three years in jail with such unshakable calm, something in his chest clenched painfully. He felt a sharp, suffocating discomfort, a feeling that gnawed at him, leaving him looking visibly unwell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMorris was frozen for a moment, trying to process what he had just heard. Then it hit him-Henrik had insisted on bringing him here tonight for a reason.
Henrik had purposely kept White's identity from him. The message was clear: neither the Evans family nor Eric were deserving of forgiveness for their actions.
With a sigh, Morris fell silent, the weight of the moment settling over him.
When Sheri heard Khloe openly speak about her prison experience, she turned her gaze to Henrik and Morris, expecting to see anger or disgust. Instead, she was struck by the unmistakable sorrow etched on their faces as they looked at Khloe.
Fury and jealousy simmered within Sheri, but fear held her back. Any move she made now could expose her to Khloe, and that would destroy her chances of marrying into the Watson family forever.
On stage, Sloane remained frozen, completely caught off guard by Khloe's unflinching revelation. She couldn't fathom what Khloe was trying to accomplish with such an open display.
But Khloe wasn't done yet. Her voice remained composed and steady, cutting through the tension in the room.
"They accusedof academic fraud, blamedfor deaths, and sentto prison. They thought these things would break me. But they were wrong. I've never backed down from owning my actions. If I didn't do something, I wouldn't admit to it, no matter what tactics they used. Even after my three years in jail, they refused to letgo. Now, they're using today to try and ruin my nforever. Sloane, I won't let you or the Evans family get away with this." Khloe's mention of Sloane stirred something in the latter. Sloane's face tightened for a brief moment, and with a forced calm, she met Khloe's gaze. "Enough of these lies, Khloe. The allegations of academic fraud and causing deaths-they're true. But neither I nor the Evans family had anything to do with it." Your imagination thrives at puntTears welled up as Sloane continued, “I get it. You're angry with me, and I understand why. You were once engaged to Eric. But the things you did were unforgivable. How could Eric ever marry someone with a reputation like yours? I, too, paid the price. I've sacrificed my happiness to change the public's view of your actions. I'm a victim of this, too. So why are you still blamingand the Evans family for what happened?" Sloane had hoped to shift the focus away from Khloe's jail tby playing her own card. But now that Khloe had exposed everything herself, Sloane was thrown off balance. Fear crept in-what if Khloe had evidence? So, she tried once again to divert the conversation, twisting it back towards her romantic ties.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSloane's strategy was clever. In just a few words, she planted the idea that Khloe harbored a grudge over Eric being taken from her, and that was why Khloe was attacking Sloane and the Evans family.
Khloe laughed, a sound laced with sharpness. "Sloane, you always play the innocent victim. But a wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf. You can't hide your tracks. Stop swaying off the topic. Do you really think I'd m make such a na M public statement without being prepared?" Sloane's expression faltered, but Khloe paid it no mind. She spoke deliberately, each word striking hard. "The Evans family, along with you, didn't just frme for academic fraud. After I was released from prison, you spread rumors that I had schizophrenia, paranoia, and kleptomania and pushed my pregnant stepmother down the stairs. You threw every accusation at me, hoping no one would discover the truth-that you stole all my work and claimed my achievements as your own, riding on the fI earned."
The truth about Khloe's academic fraud and the theft of herachievements, was only just beginning to emerge, and it sent shockwaves through the hall.
Khloe was certain-Sloane and Lorraine couldn't have orchestrated everything without leaving sevidence behind. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
