Chapter 382:

The title of heir to the Watson family had been Eric’s lifelong dream, something he’d fought for tirelessly. How could he give that up now? But if he obeyed Henrik’s demand in front of everyone, he’d lose all sense of pride and dignity—he’d never be able to face anyone again.

Eric hesitated for a long moment, but eventually, with obvious reluctance, he knelt before Khloe in front of the onlookers. A wave of humiliation washed over him as his fists clenched, his nails digging into his palms, but all he could do was bite back his frustration.
