Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 636:

In Clinton’s mind, her eventual choice seemed inevitable, as if fate conspired to prove him right. But how could he be so blind to reality?

An uneasy tension settled in Khloe’s chest. Her voice, sharp and unyielding, cut through the air. “Clinton, I have no intention of involving myself in the Watson family’s heir selection process.

As she turned to ask what he had said, a commanding presence emerged from behind her. “Clinton, no matter how many schemes you try, what isn’t yours will never become yours.
