Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 345:

With tears streaming down her face, Erma begged, “Khloe! Please, say something! Will you show mercy to the Russell family or not?”

Khloe’s gaze was cold and detached, as though Erma were nothing more than a stranger. She picked up a small vial from the workbench. “Erma, that dagger won’t do the job efficiently. It’s too dull. Use this. The moment the blade touches your skin with it, you’ll die instantly and painlessly.”

She tossed the vial onto the floor in front of Erma with almost casual indifference. “Should I apply it for you? I can make your end even more merciful.”

Khloe’s actions left everyone completely stunned. The venue grew eerily silent as wide-eyed disbelief spread across their faces. It was beyond anything they thought Khloe would ever do.

“This is just too cruel,” someone murmured softly.

“How could Khloe do such a thing? She’s practically pushing Erma to her death!” another voice exclaimed, filled with disbelief.

Sloane, thrilled at the unfolding drama, didn’t miss a beat. Raising her voice, she exclaimed, “Khloe, how can you be so heartless? Erma’s already suffering, and now you’re encouraging her to end her life? How can you be this cold?”

While speaking, Sloane grabbed Eric’s arm and urged, “Eric, you were her fiancé once. Surely you can talk some sense into her. Go stop her! This isn’t just bad for Erma — it’s going to ruin Khloe too!”

Eric agreed it was time to intervene. If Khloe kept this up, she’d only attract more condemnation from everyone present.

Striding over, he grabbed Khloe’s arm and barked, “Khloe, stop this already! You weren’t always this cruel. Do you really want everyone here to think you’re a heartless monster?”noveldrama

Khloe glanced at Eric.

Seeing her hesitate, Eric’s face brightened with hope. He took it as a sign that she still cared for him and that his words were getting through.

This felt right to Eric. After all, Khloe had once loved him deeply, going so far as to help him secure his place as heir to the Watson family and gifting him many research breakthroughs without expecting anything in return.

Her relationship with Henrik now? Clearly, it was nothing more than a ploy to provoke him, to make him regret what he had done.

“Khloe, just calm down and let this go,” Eric added, his tone smug with confidence. But before he could say more, Khloe slapped him sharply across the face.

“Eric, who do you think you are? I’m your uncle’s fiancée. How dare you interfere in my business?”

Eric stumbled backward, his hand instinctively reaching for his cheek, his face frozen in shock. “Khloe, how could you lay a hand on me?”

Khloe’s face was as cold as stone, her lips curling into a smirk that barely hid her contempt. “What are you going to do about it? Who do you think you are? Whatever’s going on between Erma and me is none of your concern. Maybe you should keep your nose out of things that don’t concern you.”

The small crowd that had gathered stood frozen, their faces a mix of disbelief and curiosity. No one had expected Khloe to slap Eric—the heir to the influential Watson family.

But the real shock? Khloe wasn’t just some random woman. Her fiancé was Eric’s uncle.

Sloane watched from the sidelines, her surprise giving way to a quiet sense of satisfaction. Eric had been after Khloe since she’d gotten out of prison, acting as if her past had left no mark on her allure.
