RedNovelChapter 70 Chapter 70: That man, cold and calculating, with a brilliance bordering on genius, had once set his sights on Khloe.
"No matter what, she's now an advisor to the CEO of Evergreen Capital. She holds serious sway there. If we win her favor, it could be a game-changer for the Watson family!" Harold slammed the table forcefully. "You need to win her back and secure her absolute loyalty!" Eric recoiled, shaken. “Father, she's been to prison. Letting her into the family, especially as the future lady of the family..." "Who said anything about making her the lady of the family? Use her. Once a woman falls in love, she'll give everything." Harold's sneer was cutting. "Just like she helped you before. You think I don't know? Your first big investment for the heir position? It was Khloe who helped you pull it off." Eric's heart skipped a beat. His father knew everything! Years ago, when Eric was fighting for the heir position, the Watson family had tasked them with turning a million- dollar investment into ten million in just three months. Eric had lost most of his money and had to borrow from Khloe.
She hadn't given him the money, but she'd turned his remaining two hundred thousand into thirty million, securing his victory and his claim to the title.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEric thought he had kept it hidden, but his father had just turned a blind eye.
Eric had nothing left to say. Seeing Khloe at the banquet-vibrant, stunning, and completely unrecognizable from the past-stirred a swirl of conflicting emotions within him.
He remembered the warmth and affection she had once shown him, the connection they had shared. Clenching his jaw, he swore, "Father, don't worry. I'll win Khloe back." Harold nodded, his expression cold and calculating. "You'd better take this seriously. Your position as heir is far from secure. Your uncles' sons are watching, especially Duncan. He's charming, experienced, and if he finds out about Khloe's ties to Evergreen Capital, he won't hesitate to make a move. This is your final test. If you succeed, I'll hand you the Watson family. Fail, and you lose your claim." The weight of those words hit Eric like a punch, and his resolve hardened.

Khloe shook her head, then asked, “Henrik, weren't you supposed to be at a business meeting? What are you doing here?"
Noticing her confusion, Henrik lifted Khloe's chin and teased, "Didn't you wantto be here or are you still thinking about someone else? You look stunning tonight." Khloe quickly responded, "No, I dressed like this to outshine them.”
Her expression turned serious. "I don't feel anything for Eric anymore. I used to be kind to him, but have too much self-respect to tolerate someone like him. I can barely stand to look at him now."
