Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 203

Chapter 203:

After many years with the Watson family, Hurst knew Henrik as a decisive, stern mafia boss. He had never witnessed Henrik behave so tenderly and affectionately. The nearby maids were also frozen, their eyes full of disbelief.

One of them instinctively covered her mouth, as if terrified that even the slightest noise might provoke Henrik’s anger. She had seen him take lives without hesitation, and she had been the one to clean up the aftermath.

Khloe was momentarily taken aback as well, but she understood that one of her main goals today was to put on a convincing performance.

They needed to convince everyone that their engagement was real and that Henrik was deeply in love with her in order to deceive Henrik’s elusive elder.

Henrik took Khloe’s hand as he held the hem of her dress, guiding her along as they entered the manor. They had just stepped onto a small garden bridge when they came face-to-face with Eric, Sloane, and Layla Carrillo, who were approaching from the other side.

Henrik’s eyes hardened into icy shards as he shifted ever so slightly, placing Khloe behind him in a protective stance. Beside him, Khloe raised her gaze, her expression equally frosty as she stared down at the group before them.
