Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 649:

Eric looked equally pale. The reality of Khloe’s utter lack of feelings for him struck like a blow. Grasping for any shred of hope, he tried desperately to defend himself. “Susanna was lying. I never did any of that.”

The situation spiraled out of his control, and Sheri was in no position to help him. He had no choice but to lean on whatever faint remnants of affection Khloe might still hold for him.

Khloe’s lips curled into a sneer. “You deny it without seeing any evidence. Do you really think I came unprepared?”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Khloe disassembled her phone. Removing a few small accessories she had on her, she connected them seamlessly to the device. Within moments, her phone turned into a compact computer.

Her fingers moved swiftly over the miniature keyboard, her confidence unnerving. Seconds later, a projection screen lit up, displaying a vivid scene of Sheri and Eric conversing in a laboratory. The audio, playing loud and clear, filled the meeting hall.

As Susanna had claimed, the footage revealed Eric and Sheri conspiring against Khloe. They spoke of slandering her in front of the Watson family, manipulating the family to collectively oppose her, and ultimately forcing her to sever her engagement to Henrik—all so Eric could seize his chance with her.

The Watson family watched in stunned silence, their faces growing darker with every passing moment. Their initial shock soon gave way to outrage.

“Eric, how could you stoop to this?”

“Khloe is your future aunt, and yet you still think of her this way?”

“He even admitted it! He only became the Watson family heir three years ago because Khloe helped him!”

Eric’s hands trembled visibly. His gaze at Khloe was filled with disbelief. How could she possibly have such incriminating footage? How had she managed to obtain it? Could Khloe be hiding some other secret identity?

Sheri’s eyes darted to Khloe, panic creeping into her expression. If Khloe had this footage, what else did she have? What other evidence could Khloe use against her? At any moment, Khloe could turn it into a weapon, ready to strike.

She couldn’t afford to go to prison. She couldn’t let herself fall into Henrik and Khloe’s hands—they wouldn’t just destroy her; they would make her suffer.

Khloe, however, paid no attention to the turmoil swirling in Eric’s and Sheri’s minds.

“Eric, I’m giving you two options. First, face the legal consequences of your actions and go to jail. Second, let Henrik and me handle this privately.”

Eric’s face went pale. Neither of these options was acceptable to him. All he had ever wanted was to solidify his position as the prominent heir of the Watson family.

Meeting Khloe’s icy stare, Eric quickly realized that begging her would be futile. It would only humiliate him further. His eyes darted toward Harold, his voice trembling with desperation. “Dad, save me!”noveldrama

Harold’s expression darkened, his face taut with disbelief. Never had he imagined events would spiral so disastrously. He knew that if Eric fell, he would also lose all influence, fading into irrelevance with no hope of recovery.
