Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 568:

Khloe’s composure remained unshaken, her calm a sharp contrast to Naomi’s escalating rage. A flicker of mockery danced in her eyes, and her lips curved into a faint, sardonic smile. “Do you ever think before you act? You’re trying to stand up for Sheri to gain her favor, but have you considered the cost of this loyalty? By coming after me, you’re challenging Henrik. Do you realize how dangerous that is? Do you really think Sheri’s approval is worth putting your entire family at risk? Do you want your family wiped off the map for the sake of one fleeting compliment? If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re nothing more than Sheri’s puppet.” Her final words landed like a hammer.

Naomi’s face drained of color as Khloe’s sharp words hit their mark. She opened her mouth to argue, but the sting of having her motives laid bare left her speechless.

Sheri, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, hadn’t anticipated Khloe would expose her so brazenly. Her face darkened as she quickly rose from her seat.

Striding to Naomi’s side, Sheri turned to Khloe, her voice deceptively gentle. “Today is Naomi’s birthday. She was only joking with you. Surely there’s no need to involve Henrik over such a trivial matter, right?”

The implication of Sheri’s words was too obvious. On one hand, she used emotional manipulation against Khloe. On the other hand, she reassured Naomi, implying it was just a joke between women and Henrik didn’t need to get involved.

And it worked. Naomi was indeed reassured.
