RedNovelChapter 45 Chapter 45: Moments later, the staff member returned, looking awkward and uncomfortable.
"Mr. Watson, the guest in Box 1 said that you're not in their league." A heavy silence descended over the room, as every eye turned to Eric, waiting for his response.
Eric froze, stunned by the unexpected reply, his face clouded with a solemn expression. The crowd sat in stunned silence, and it wasn't long before faint murmurs and hushed whispers began to spread among them.

"Whoever's in Box 1 must be from a truly formidable background to pull something like this.” Sloane's face contorted in fury, her displeasure etched into every line of her features. That necklace was meant to grace her neck, and the spotlight of the entire hall should have been hers to bask in. The idea that a complete stranger had dared to snatch it away left her seething in disbelief.
With a fiery glare towards the box, she fumed, "Who do they think they are, acting so brazenly? It's obvious they have no regard for the Watson name!" Sloane's question lingered in the air, on everyone's mind, but despite their best efforts to look into the VIP box above, only two faint figures could be seen. The tall man sat on the sofa, his features hidden in the shadows, but his presence was undeniable-commanding and filled with authority.
The way he had dismissed Eric with such casual ease spoke volumes about his status and power. Next to him was a small woman, and it appeared the necklace was intended for her.
The crowd couldn't help but wonder-who was this woman who had managed to captivate such a commanding figure? The murmurs around him were impossible to ignore, and every word fueled Eric's simmering rage. He had confidently assured Sloane that she could pick whatever caught her eye at the auction, but now he was humiliated like this.
Backing down now would mean tarnishing the honor of the Watson family, a blow Eric couldn't afford to take. His fists tightened at his sides, the tension turning his knuckles a stark white. Yet he kept his composure in check.

As they sat in the box, Khloe rested her hand on Henrik's. "The necklace is stunning, but it can't really be worth that much, can it?" While she couldn't deny the thrill of putting Eric and Sloane in their place, she felt guilty about Henrik spending so much money for a fleeting moment of pleasure.
Henrik lifted his hand, his fingers carefully weaving through the softness of Khloe's hair. The movement was gentle, but there was a sense of command behind it that couldn't be ignored.

A dark smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and as his breath brushed against Khloe's ear, his voice dropped tow, magnetic and cold. "The true form of revenge is to tear apart everything they care about." Khloe felt a chill run down her spine as she heard his words.
In that moment, Henrik radiated an aura of danger, she wanted to run yet ve found herself unable to look away.
He was spot on. If she wanted true revenge, she had to break everything Eric and Sloane treasured. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
