Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 146

Chapter 146:

Casey could feel the weight of their stares; her body trembled as the overwhelming urge to escape gripped her.

But then her eyes caught her uncle’s stern, warning glare from across the room. Her legs turned to jelly, and under the astonished stares of the crowd, she sank to her knees.

As her knees met the cold floor, the atmosphere thickened, the silence heavy with disbelief. The onlookers could only gape, their wide eyes locked on the unthinkable scene. Casey’s tears spilled freely, tracing glistening paths down her pale cheeks. “Khloe, I beg for your forgiveness. I was arrogant, I framed you on purpose. I know I don’t deserve it, but please, give me a chance to make things right.” Gone was her usual haughty demeanor; she now stood stripped of any hint of menace, utterly humbled.

For the first time, Casey’s regret felt undeniably real.

Her public, humiliating apology stunned the crowd, and the auditorium erupted into a cacophony of sound, the uproar crashing like waves, pounding in everyone’s ears.

Khloe observed Casey in silence. Her eyes were calm and free from any trace of arrogance. With a slight motion of her hand, she gestured for Casey to get up. Casey’s body shook faintly as she stood, her face still flushed with the shame she couldn’t hide.
