Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 568:

Khloe’s composure remained unshaken, her calm a sharp contrast to Naomi’s escalating rage. A flicker of mockery danced in her eyes, and her lips curved into a faint, sardonic smile. “Do you ever think before you act? You’re trying to stand up for Sheri to gain her favor, but have you considered the cost of this loyalty? By coming after me, you’re challenging Henrik. Do you realize how dangerous that is? Do you really think Sheri’s approval is worth putting your entire family at risk? Do you want your family wiped off the map for the sake of one fleeting compliment? If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re nothing more than Sheri’s puppet.” Her final words landed like a hammer.

Naomi’s face drained of color as Khloe’s sharp words hit their mark. She opened her mouth to argue, but the sting of having her motives laid bare left her speechless.

Sheri, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, hadn’t anticipated Khloe would expose her so brazenly. Her face darkened as she quickly rose from her seat.

Striding to Naomi’s side, Sheri turned to Khloe, her voice deceptively gentle. “Today is Naomi’s birthday. She was only joking with you. Surely there’s no need to involve Henrik over such a trivial matter, right?”

The implication of Sheri’s words was too obvious. On one hand, she used emotional manipulation against Khloe. On the other hand, she reassured Naomi, implying it was just a joke between women and Henrik didn’t need to get involved.

And it worked. Naomi was indeed reassured.

But the next moment, Khloe spoke up, shattering Naomi and Sheri’s fantasy.

“I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. I am a very petty person. Whoever makes me unhappy, I make sure to make them pay the price and regret provoking me. Didn’t Naomi just say I was a social climber and gained power by selling my body? Then, of course, I have to play my part as a social climber to make it more convincing. I will tell Henrik everything. And that includes how you, Sheri, are secretly instigating things here. Don’t worry. I won’t miss a single detail.”

Sheri’s fists clenched at her sides, her anger boiling over. She didn’t expect Khloe to always play out of the box.

Don’t miss it: gᴀlиovєℓѕ.cоm

At this moment, Naomi also felt extremely uncomfortable. She had never suffered such humiliation before. She was so angry that she was about to explode. But suddenly, she remembered Khloe’s words about her being used by Sheri. She couldn’t do anything. Because if she did, Henrik would have a reason to deal with her.

However, Naomi was stifled by the fact that she couldn’t do anything. Thinking of this, she said, “It’s not that I want to make things difficult for you. But today is my birthday, and I just can’t stand your arrogance. Besides, didn’t you just say you wanted us to pay the price? Fine! Look over there.”

Naomi pointed to four girls and introduced them. “They’re Lindy Garcia, Cara Swain, Letty Branson, and Etta Barker.”

The four girls stood from their seats. They all had arrogant expressions on their faces as they nodded in Khloe’s direction.

Naomi continued, “The four of them have their own special talents. If you are really that amazing, you can compete against all of them. If you win against the four of them, I will apologize to you. But if you lose…”

She paused, pointed to the dozen bodyguards standing at the garden entrance, and added, “Then, you will crawl under the crotches of my bodyguards.”

Naomi did this on purpose, thinking Khloe was doomed this time.

She didn’t believe Khloe was really that capable. Given the premise of the competition, she was openly humiliating Khloe. And even if Henrik knew, he couldn’t do anything to her. Khloe looked at Naomi, shaking her head.

Mistaking Khloe’s reaction for fear, Naomi smirked triumphantly and said even louder, “Khloe, you’re too cowardly! Where’s the toughness you had when you were talking big? It’s just a competition, but you don’t even dare to accept it. Are you still going to deny that you only have your current status because of Henrik?”
