Chapter 370:

It was becoming clear that Khloe’s journey toward marrying Henrik wasn’t going to be as effortless as she’d imagined.

A slight frown tugged at Khloe’s brow as she realized that Whitney’s actions weren’t merely antagonistic; they hinted that Whitney might doubt her status as Henrik’s fiancée.

Keeping her composure, Khloe returned a subtle, confident smile, her tone calm and unbothered by Whitney’s sharp stare. “Ms. Dayton, I’m not sure what you’re implying. Henrik is exceptional, far above most men in this world. What woman wouldn’t be drawn to him?”

Whitney’s contempt became even more evident as she fixed Khloe with a cold, scornful look. Her voice dripped with sarcasm. “Above most men? You’re quite the flatterer. I’m sure many would admire his wealth and looks, but you are a brilliant mind who cracked an incredible medical case. Are you truly so superficial?

Khloe is impressive. After getting out of prison, she’s somehow managed to latch onto Henrik, this big-time guy. Now she’s running her own biotech lab and used to be in showbiz. Wow, she really knows how to climb the ladder. Seems like character and ability don’t always match up, huh?
