RedNovelChapter 196 Chapter 196: Khloe, standing quietly at the edge of the crowd, blinked in surprise. Even she hadn't expected Henrik to go to such lengths, as bringing the director of Mabel Clinic here.
This demonstrated Henrik's immense influence and, more importantly, his consideration. Henrik could have crushed Eric's accusations with his own presence alone, but this act wasn't just about silencing lies. It was about ensuring every single shred of slander against her was obliterated.
As realization dawned, and they had just accepted the supposed diagnosis displayed on the screen moments ago —an official-looking document bearing the Mabel Clinic logo-they now saw it for what it was: a complete fabrication.
How vile could Joshua get? To accuse his own daughter of being mentally ill? "The Evans family is rotten to the core." "No wonder Khloe keeps them at arm's length. If I were her, I'd never speak to them again." "And her imprisonment wasn't fair either, was it? How much more of her life have they tried to ruin?" In the middle of this rising anger, Sloane's face grew pale. She had counted on public opinion burying Khloe, not realizing her connection to someone as untouchable as Henrik.

Henrik noticed instantly. His sharp gaze pinned Joshua in place and carried him across the room. "Mr. Evans, where do you think you're going?" Joshua stiffened. He had hoped to sneak away while everyone was still in shock and discussion, but he hadn't expected Henrik to call him out.
He slowly turned around, forcing a flattering smile, though it looked more like a grimace. “This is all a misunderstanding." His voice trembled slightly; he didn't dare meet Henrik's cold gaze.
"A misunderstanding? Forging a medical diagnosis to ruin your own daughter's reputation is a misunderstanding?" Henrik's voice was as cold as if it cfrom an ice cellar, his gaze like icy blades piercing Joshua, who lowered his head in fear after just one glance.

I made a mistake, Mr. Watson," he mumbled, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Mistakes cwith consequences. The Evans family will kneel here and apologize to Khloe in front of everyone." Henrik's tone was non-negotiable, more a command than a suggestion.
Joshua's body shook violently at Henrik's words, his face instantly losing all color.
His legs gave out beneath him, turning weak and unsteady.
He never expected Henrik to insist they kneel and apologize to Khloe, the daughter he had cut ties with years ago. For him, it was an unimaginable humiliation.

But upon hearing Henrik's words, her face turned pale and she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Joshua lifted his head slowly and turned to Khloe. "Khloe, know I was wrong. Can't we handle this differently?" Khloe's face remained calm, her gaze icy and unmoved by his plea.
His words carried no weight-not after everything the Evans family had done to her. Simply tarnishing their reputation wasn't punishment enough.
Khloe's voice turned cold as she warned, "You better listen to Henrik. If you don't, the Evans family is in for sserious trouble. I'll give you five seconds to make up your mind. Five... four..." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
