RedNovelChapter 69 Chapter 69: The Watson family could soar to new heights if they earned her favor.
With that realization, Harold's voice grew stern as he turned back to Eric. "Apologize to Khloe. Now." Eric didn't dare defy his father. With gritted teeth, he lowered his head, muttering to Khloe, "I'm sorry." Khloe looked at him with cold indifference before she turned to leave.
Harold stepped forward, his tone softening as he addressed Khloe. “I know Eric has acted foolishly. He was misled in the past, unable to understand his own feelings. You two truly belong together. Why not give him another chance? If you're willing, I'll make sure to remove anyone standing in your way." Sloane's fear was palpable now. She stared at Khloe, dreading the woman's response.

"Mr. Watson, I don't waste my twith trash. It belongs in the garbage." She contemptuously gestured towards Sloane, her tone light and mocking. "There's someone here who loves collecting garbage. I wish them a long and happy life together." Without another word, Khloe walked away, leaving the room in stunned silence, her departure as striking as her entrance.
Soon, the scandal spread across the internet. News of Khloe's public humiliation of Sloane at the Watson family banquet, along with revelations of Sloane's attempts to seduce Eric, ignited a firestorm.
Sloane's carefully crafted plan to ruin Khloe's reputation was effortlessly dismantled, while her own image as a dignified lady crumbled.
Online, she was now branded as the home-wrecker. The controversy surrounding the casting changes in Peaks of Eternity was no longer focused on Khloe alone.
Upon seeing the trending headlines, Sloane fainted from fury, while the Watson family hastily called an end to the banquet.

"Father, why did you defend Khloe today? Do you realize how many important guests were at the banquet? You've putin an awkward position!" Harold's response was sharp. "Awkward? You couldn't even handle a woman! She made a fool of us, and you're still complaining?" He fixed Eric with a cold, cutting stare, his eyes narrowing with a dangerous glint.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I defended Khloe for one reason only-she's the new investment advisor at Evergreen Capital. She's now liaising directly with their CEO." Eric froze. "What?" "I can't believe this! Evergreen Capital handles trillions in investments, shaping the entire financial world. And Khloe was in prison! How in the world did she end up as the CEO's top investment advisor?" Eric's disbelief was palpable.
Harold's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing as they shot Eric an icy glare. "If Evergreen Capital were any ordinary company, it wouldn't have reached this scale. You've dated Khloe. Don't you know what she's capable of?"
"But she was accused of academic dishonesty! Those groundbreaking patents she boasted about-weren't they stolen from Sadie Dayton?"
"Academic achievements can be fabricated, but her admission to that prestigious overseas university? That was no lie. She outranked everyone,” Harold retorted. Back then, the presidential team wanted her in their think tank. She turned them down. You know who set that think tank's selection standards. It was that man, and his requirements were far tougher than any foreign academic standards!"
"Uncle Henrik?" Eric's voice faltered, suddenly wary. The nkit him like abolt oNightning. The Watson family knew better than anyone just how ruthless and brilliant Henrik truly was.
