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. I understand the situation, but it’s entirely unrelated to you. I neither need nor want your support. And as for your feelings—this is the last time I’ll say it—I do not accept them, nor will I ever.”

Clinton, undeterred by her blunt response, met her gaze with unwavering determination. “Khloe, I understand you have reservations. But I’ve told you before—you’re different to me. I can’t just walk away from that.”

A chill settled over Khloe’s features. “You’re entitled to your feelings, but when your actions start interfering with my life, it becomes a problem. And I despise it. I find it repulsive.”

Clinton’s brows knitted tightly, his frustration evident. He leaned forward instinctively, but Khloe recoiled with a decisive step back.

Realizing her withdrawal, he straightened and exhaled deeply. “Fine. If you don’t like it, I’ll tread more carefully. But don’t worry about the heir selection. I have no intention of losing to Eric. Without your help, Eric is nothing.”
