Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 337:

Then, Henrik opened the car door for Khloe. When he was about to get in, someone called out behind him.

“Wait!”

Sheri rushed over, gasping, and skidded to a halt in front of Khloe, bowing deeply. “I’m so sorry, Miss Evans. It’s my lack of medical skills and my foolishness in questioning your expertise that led to the unjust criticism you faced. Please forgive me!” Her voice was laced with sincerity.

Khloe narrowed her eyes, studying the angle of Sheri’s bow and the way her shoulders seemed to droop. Yet, her face gave nothing away.

With her background in psychology and training in micro-expressions, Khloe couldn’t miss the subtle cues. Sheri’s body, despite her overt apology, leaned ever so slightly in Henrik’s direction.

So, this was all just a performance for Henrik.

Suddenly, Khloe understood—Sheri’s orchestrated antics, her attempts to cause trouble, were all because of Henrik. This was all his fault.

Khloe said nothing, letting the silence stretch uneasily.

“Henrik, could you please help me convince Miss Evans to accept my apology? I won’t be able to sleep with my conscience so burdened,” Sheri whimpered, her pleading eyes turning to Henrik.

Hearing Sheri call Henrik’s name so affectionately, Khloe felt a sharp twang in her chest.

Henrik made no move to distance himself from Sheri, a subtle but clear sign of their closeness.

Khloe, though unsettled, had nearly resolved to accept Sheri’s apology for Henrik’s sake. Just then, Henrik spoke up. “Do you really think a simple apology is enough to erase everything Khloe went through? Sheri, the older you get, the less sense you seem to have.”

Sheri’s eyes widened, shock rippling through her as she stared at Henrik. She hadn’t expected him to be so harsh with her. The man she had always known was kind, patient, and forgiving.

She glared at Khloe, her eyes burning with jealousy and frustration. What kind of hold did this woman have over Henrik to make him defend her so fiercely? Sheri had always believed she held a special place in Henrik’s heart. They had years of history together. But since Khloe came into the picture, that belief now seemed like an illusion.

Sheri bit her lip, trying to keep herself calm and gentle, hiding the frustration bubbling inside. “Henrik, you’re absolutely right. How about this? I’ll give Miss Evans an ARDIOO, the latest biomedical…”

“Analysis device from the Dayton family. Miss Evans, I think it would be a great addition to your lab.”

Khloe’s eyes lit up at the mention of the ARDIOO. The ARDIOO, the Dayton family’s newest breakthrough, was an impressive piece of tech—one that could significantly enhance her lab’s capabilities. Still, Khloe held back her excitement, glancing subtly in Henrik’s direction to gauge his reaction.

Henrik noticed her glance, recognizing she was tempted. He knew she hadn’t yet learned how to grab opportunities without hesitation, and he was going to teach her that. Clearing his throat, Henrik said, “That doesn’t make your apology any more sincere.”

“What is sincere to you, Henrik?” Sheri asked, her voice faltering.

“Two units and a pharmaceutical preservation production line,” Henrik replied coldly.

Hearing this, even Khloe lost her composure, gaping at Henrik.noveldrama
