Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 625:

Suddenly, their eyes met, and they blurted out in unison, “Whitney!” Only Whitney would have had the resources and ability to orchestrate such a meticulous plan, leaving no trace.

Khloe said coldly, “If it’s her, then everything makes sense. No loose ends.”

Henrik looked troubled as he listened. He looked at Khloe with a mix of unease and helplessness. When their eyes met, his throat tightened, a bitter taste spreading in his chest.
