Chapter 74 Chapter 74: "No, Eric. Khloe's hurting because of you. She's obsessed because she loves you. I can see it," Sloane pleaded, her face pale. "Please, let her go. She's pitiful now. Or maybe we should call off our engagement." Sloane's face was drained of color, and tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
The words hit Eric like a punch. His resolve to follow his father's advice to get close to Khloe crumbled in that moment. With newfound determination, he pulled Sloane into a tight embrace.
"Sloane, how could you even consider giving up on us for that heartless woman? If you letgo for someone so shameless, we'd never be happy again. I won't let that happen!" His last words were fierce, his voice ringing with conviction. Sloane nodded, her body shaking with pain, torn between emotions.

I'll destroy everything she has and send her back to prison." With a cold, menacing look, he turned and left, his presence casting a shadow of fear over the room.
As his figure disappeared, Sloane and Lorraine exchanged knowing glances, their smiles laced with malicious satisfaction.
When Henrik returned, he advised Khloe to take it easy and called Rhett, his most trusted confidant, into the study.
"At the Watson family banquet today, Khloe embarrassed them in front of everyone. Considering the old man's nature, he's unlikely to let it go. His current silence only means he's plotting something. I need you to stay close to Khloe for her protection." Henrik's command left Rhett momentarily stunned.
As Henrik's right-hand man, Rhett wasn't just a subordinate; he was more of a close friend, always handling things discreetly to keep Henrik's plans running smoothly.
"Henrik, if I step in, people might find out you're pulling the strings behind the Foster family. That could mess up your plans. Are you certain about this?" "No doubt about it," Henrik answered, his tone firm and resolute. "Even if this engagement to Khloe is just for show, I gave my word to look out for her, and I intend to keep it.” Rhett observed Henrik's determination and couldn't help but think Henrik was acting more committed than most real husbands. Clearly, Henrik had genuinely fallen for Khloe.
"Got it," Rhett replied sincerely.
