Seeing him back down so readily, a brief flicker of regret passed across Henrik’s face, as though he wished for a chance to exploit Harold’s vulnerability to eliminate him entirely.

Harold caught the expression and felt a chill run down his spine. Breaking into a nervous sweat, he quickly stepped back, leaving Eric to deal with the scene alone.

Eric felt completely defeated. He had clung to the hope that Harold might convince Henrik to show him mercy, but it was obvious Henrik was set on ensuring Khloe saw this through to the very end.

“I’m sorry. I made a mistake.” Eric couldn’t bring himself to look at Khloe. His gaze stayed glued to his feet, fully aware that confessing would ruin his reputation in their social circle.

With Henrik’s cold eyes fixed on him, Eric felt powerless to fight back. “I confess. I stole your research and plagiarized it. But I honestly didn’t know it belonged to you. I found a research notebook at the Evans family’s. Sloane claimed it was hers and offered to let me use it. I even poured significant resources into completing the project.”

Eric’s voice grew stronger, though every word felt like a blade slicing through his pride. He could feel his heart shattering as his arrogance and self-respect dissolved in an instant.
