GoodReadChapter 232 Chapter 232: Khloe raised an eyebrow, then reached into her handbag, pulling out a small gun and aiming it straight at Lisbeth.
"Secrets don't stay hidden forever. Today, you're going to face the consequences of all your lies." A sharp gunshot rang out.
The bullet tore through Lisbeth's wrist with a deafening crack. Blood sprayed out, and the searing pain sent her crashing into unconsciousness.
The crowd stood frozen, stunned into silence. Khloe's ruthlessness was evident-she had just shot Lisbeth without a second thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKhloe's beauty was delicate, almost mesmerizing, but there was something about her presence that commanded respect and fear. Her gaze swept over the crowd as she spoke, each word sharp and deliberate. "She may be lying about everything else, but one thing she's right about—I'm no angel. I've got the heart of a viper. Hurteven a little, and I'll make sure you feel it a hundred times over." As she spoke, Henrik's icy, unwavering gaze scanned the room. It was as though they were prey under the watchful eye of a predator. Fear seized their hearts, and they could barely breathe. The oppressive atmosphere froze everyone in place. None dared to move to help Jada or Lisbeth.
No one was stupid enough to challenge Khloe after what they'd just witnessed.
Khloe holstered her gun and, without another word, got into the car with Henrik, followed by their team of bodyguards. She knew she'd never have to face these people again.
Once Henrik and Khloe's car had vanished from view, the crowd snapped out of their daze and hurried to check on the fallen pair.
Moments later, a police vehicle pulled up, bringing evidence of Jada's family's tax evasion and Lisbeth's involvement in drugging others. Both were arrested.
The crowd was left in utter shock, their tongues tied in fear of speaking against Khloe ever again.
What they failed to notice was the bald man who had insulted Khloe earlier being silently escorted away by Henrik's men. He was about to face endless torment.
Khloe was Henrik's weak spot, so crossing her cwith a steep price.
In the car, Khloe had already put aside the unpleasant events of the day. She hadn't even realized she was still holding Henrik's hand as she smiled at him. "What made you suddenly decide to pickup? Does showing affection now mean attending class reunions? You're really going above and beyond, aren't you?" Henrik's gaze lingered on her fingers before he replied, "If you're going to act, it should feel as real as possible." "I don't want it to be that real, though. I'll just end up depending on you more and more," Khloe said in a serious tone.
Henrik's thoughtfulness was unmatched. Just like in today's situation, his timely arrival had made Khloe feel a mix of pride and relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeing showered with attention felt incredible, but Khloe couldn't shake the worry of becoming too dependent. She always had the nagging feeling that surrendering to it would be like plunging into an abyss.
A fleeting glimmer of disappointment flashed in Henrik's eyes, quickly masked. Khloe's sharpness never failed to catch on; any small gesture meant to pullher closer only made her recoil. He let a touch of melancholy seep into his expression, his voice softening. "I'm just following my heart. Being with you feels right, like a sense of ease I haven't had in a long time—especially since my mother passed away."
Henrik rarely showed such vulnerability. His usually sharp m features were softened by sorrow, evoking an unexpected sense of sympathy. Khloe's heart wavered slightly, but she remained silent.
Noticing her soften, he gently touched her lips. "Being kind to you now is nothing compared to what's ahead. I don't want to lose you as my I don't want partner. The challenges and dangers you'll face as my fiancée will be much greater. What happened today is just a taste. My efforts aren't enough-you shouldn't have to go through all of this." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
