Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 19:

Sloane was seething with rage, her face paling as she clenched her teeth tightly, too angry to speak but not bold enough to utter a word.

After a long, tense silence, Joshua finally found his voice. “Mr. Russell, did I hear you correctly? You want my wife and daughter to apologize to Khloe, not to you?”

At this, Karl’s patience wore thin. “What? You deaf or something? Make them kneel before Miss Evans right this instant! Otherwise, I’ll kill them—right here, right now!” His men raised their guns, training them on Lorraine and Sloane.

Overwhelmed with disbelief, the onlookers started questioning their own sanity. Was Karl serious?

Was he genuinely willing to annihilate the Evans family just to defend Khloe?

Even though the Evans family wasn’t as powerful as Karl, wiping them out would be no easy feat.

Was this truly the famed “Viper” everyone had come to fear?

Karl’s loyalty towards Khloe was unheard of.noveldrama

It was unbelievable!

In that moment, they looked at Khloe with newfound admiration.

Once an outcast with nothing to her name, she now commanded the fierce loyalty of an underworld kingpin. It was baffling—almost surreal.

Unbeknownst to them, this privilege Khloe now enjoyed stemmed from Henrik’s terrifying power.

Karl was willing to move mountains to earn Henrik’s favor. As Karl’s ultimatum loomed over them, Lorraine and Sloane were paralyzed in place, faces drained of color.

Lorraine’s body trembled, her face twisted with rage and humiliation. Her eyes burned into Khloe, as though she was imagining a million different ways to slaughter the bitch. How dare that wretched woman humiliate them like this?

Clenching her fists, Lorraine shot a tearful, imploring look at Joshua. “Joshua, it was Khloe who caused me to miscarry, and now she’s ruined Sloane’s engagement. If we bow to someone like her, how can we ever hold our heads high?”

Joshua’s face tightened, beads of sweat forming on his brow. He didn’t want to apologize either, but Karl’s wrath was something he dared not challenge.

Sensing her father’s hesitation, Sloane was driven to madness.

She threw herself in front of Eric, her voice cracking with desperation. “Eric, you have to help me and Mom!” She clung to his arm, eyes wild with fury as she glared at Khloe.

“We welcomed Khloe back from prison and even sent someone to fetch her, but she vanished without a trace—only to show up here, with Mr. Russell. She’s thrown away any scrap of dignity she had left, and now she’s teaming up with outsiders to vent her anger on us. Eric, you can’t just stand by and watch this happen!”

Sloane’s words stoked the fire of jealousy in Eric’s heart. His eyes flared with intense envy and possessiveness as they locked onto Khloe.

To him, the sight of her here with Karl was unforgivable—a shameless betrayal.

She’d stooped so low as to become this old man’s mistress, all to get back at him? It was absurd! Ridiculous!

When Khloe first showed up, breathtaking in her elegance, he’d felt a flicker of hope—a strange sense of joy he hadn’t expected.

Now, that joy felt like a slap in the face, leaving a bitter sting in its place.

His jaw clenched as he struck his chest, vowing, “Sloane, I swear—no one will lay a hand on you as long as I’m here.” Squaring his shoulders, Eric turned his full attention to Karl. “Karl, I’m Eric Watson, heir to the Watson family. Back off. I’m warning you—if you choose to go against me, I promise the Russell family will be wiped off the face of the earth.”

Eric was confident that Karl would back down, given the Watson family’s immense power.
