Chapter 313:

Yet, how could this be?

Despite her being engaged to Henrik and having his robust support behind her, Khloe was, after all, simply a young and attractive woman. On the other hand, Izabella was recognized for her shrewdness and influence. She was far from a pushover; in fact, she was a savvy and powerful force, known to cause trouble for many who dared challenge her.

All eyes turned to Khloe, each face a canvas of suspicion and wonder. The crowd was at a loss, unable to decipher what about this seemingly ordinary young woman had Izabella so on edge.

Some even guessed she might come from a significantly influential family, a detail she kept under wraps, which Izabella, the formidable force behind the Douglas family, might have surmised. Those whispering were inching closer to understanding the source of Izabella’s unease.
