RedNovelChapter 77 Chapter 77: She held on to her cool, distant demeanor, carrying herself with quiet nobility. No wonder Henrik held her in such high regard-she was composed and unshakeable. Catching Rhett's gaze, Khloe gave him a subtle nod. She passed him a glass of wine, a small gesture of appreciation.
She had already figured this was Henrik's doing, arranging for Rhett to step in.

Khloe spoke with calm authority. "Eric, your perspective is limited. You need to think bigger. Evergreen Capital's investment in Peaks of Eternity wasn't made without careful consideration." Frowning, Eric asked, “So that billion-dollar necklace was bought by you?" His eyes locked onto Khloe, as if her answer was the only thing that mattered.
"Necklace?" At the mention of the necklace, Khloe's thoughts turned to Henrik, and a soft smile appeared on her face. "No, it was a gift from someone who means a great deal to me." Her words crushed the small glimmer of hope that had flickered in Eric's heart, and his expression darkened again. He sneered. "So what if you're an Evergreen Capital shareholder? That doesn't clear your name. Besides, how you got that title is another matter, isn't it?" Eric sneered. "Since you're so fond of evidence, letpresent some. At my engagement banquet, Karl and his men cto your rescue-it's all on video." Eric gestured, and someone stepped forward with a video in hand.
He continued, "Should I post this online for everyone to see? Karl, Zhecrora's infamous crlord, wouldn't have crashed my engagement unless you've got shidden dealings with him!" His argument seemed airtight, convincing most of those present. Suspicious, judgmental stares turned to Khloe. Under the weight of their doubts, Khloe suddenly laughed, her striking features brimming with scorn as she looked at Eric. "Eric, you're as gullible and foolish as ever, letting yourself get played so easily. It's honestly pathetic." With that, she motioned for Tess' assistant to bring out a phone and make a call.
Putting the phone on speaker, she waited, and the call was answered almost immediately.

Was Khloe seriously addressing Karl in this manner? The crowd was already stunned by Karl's unusually respectful tone, but what truly left everyone speechless were Khloe's next words.
Without any pretense, she spoke bluntly into the phone. "Karl, there's gossip flying around that I'm your kept woman. Get here immediately and set the record straight." Before long, Karl stormed in, his arrival a whirlwind of urgency.
The moment his eyes locked onto Khloe, his face lit up with an overzealous grin, and he bent in a deep courtesy. "Miss Evans, I'm here," he said, his voice oozing with flattery.
Everyone watching this unfold was left speechless, their mouths hanging open and eyes wide in sheer disbelief.
Eric stood there, utterly dumbfounded. His suspicions about something untoward between Kari and Khloe seemed shattered in an instant. This subservience was not at all what he had expected.
Khloe tilted her head slightly, her gaze cold and imperious, cutting! through the air as she met Karl's eyes. "You're late, Karl," she remarked, her voice icy.
