GoodReadChapter 206 Chapter 206: Without answering Sloane, Morris turned to Khloe, his gaze unwavering. "What do you think, Khloe? Do you not want to be part of our family?" "I have no objections. I truly care for Henrik, and I will spend the rest of my life with him." Khloe smiled gently. Upon hearing Khloe's reply, Morris gave a satisfied nod, his face returning to its usual warm smile. "Well said. This is exactly how I would expect a daughter-in-law I truly value to act." He then turned to Sloane, his gaze turning cold and sharp. "Khloe has no objections. Why does an outsider like you feel the need to speak for her? Hurst, slap her!" The butler, Hurst, moved without hesitation at Morris' command. Sloane's face drained of color. Her eyes widened in terror as she instinctively took a step back.
"Mr. Watson, I made a mistake. Please, forgivejust this once!" Sloane's voice wavered, her gaze shifting to Eric as she silently begged him to speak on her behalf.

Layla shuddered slightly, relieved she hadn't acted as impulsively as Sloane. But her resentment towards Khloe only grew.
After ten slaps, Sloane's face was swollen and red, her hair a tangled mess. Tears welled in her eyes, but she bit her lip, refusing to resist, enduring the blows in silence.
Morris watched her coldly, speaking slowly only after Hurst had finished. "Young lady, think before you speak next time. I've given you a small lesson today, considering your youth. If it happens again, it won't be so easy." "Yes," Sloane replied, still trembling from the ordeal.
"Everyone, take your seats," Morris ordered.

Khloe watched the scene unfold, seeing Morris' methods in action for herself. No wonder they were father and son-sblood, sruthlessness. If Henrik ever acted, he would be even more merciless and brutal than his father. Yet, having someone so formidable backing her gave her a strange sense of reassurance.
Henrik settled beside her, catching the glint in her eyes. He could tell what was on her mind and chuckled. "So, how does it feel?" "Riding the wave of power feels pretty great," Khloe responded with a playful grin.

What had once seemed like sweet recollections now felt like sharp thorns, pricking at his heart. He couldn't stomach the thought of Khloe being with another man, especially one who overshadowed him in every way like Henrik.
Khloe could feel Eric's stare without looking. His obvious discomfort only amused her. She leaned in closer to Henrik, their shoulders touching, closing any space between them. As they waited for the meal to start, she playfully fed him a few pastries from the table.
Though Henrik typically avoided sweets, he ate them without protest.
The public display of affection sent waves of anger through both Eric and m Layla. Just as Eric was about to spap, Layla's Voice, sweet as honey, interrupted, "Great-uncle, since you've welcomed Khloe into the family, shouldn't there be a gift for that?" Morris gave a nod. "You're a bit eager, young lady. I had planned to give it after the meal. Hurst."
Hurst quickly stepped forward with a box, opening it to reveal a stunning Ο ΠΡ blue gemstone ring. The ring was an gemstone & Open blue diamond, a rare and priceless gem that many coveted.
Such an extravagant gift!
Layla's eyes burned with envy. This ring had once been a part of her great-uncle's collection, something she had once begged for but never received. And now it was being given to Khloe. When presented with such a precious gift, Khloe didn't hesitate. She slipped the ring on her finger with ease, displaying it proudly. "It's absolutely stunning!
