Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 349:

Erma’s screams continued to echo through the room. Her bloodshot eyes burned with unbridled hatred and resentment as she glared at Khloe. “Khloe, just you wait. I swear I won’t let you get away with this. Even if the Russell family goes bankrupt, I’ll make you pay.”

However, her threats only sounded more pitiful with each desperate word she spat out as the security guards continued dragging her away. The others finally realized just how powerless Erma had become.

Khloe’s power was undeniable. With a single move, she had brought the mighty Russell family to its knees, and she hadn’t even broken a sweat. She was the true queen.

Fairchild and Kenyatta stood frozen, their faces drained of all color. Their hearts were filled with regret and fear. They had betrayed Khloe for temporary gain, never realizing the immense power she held.noveldrama

Suddenly, Fairchild dropped to his knees before Khloe, pleading, “I was wrong. I want to come back. Please forgive me. The competition can’t continue without us. Three people aren’t enough to complete the potion.” Kenyatta also knelt, repeating Fairchild’s desperate words.

Charlotte and Sylvie watched the scene with satisfaction. Just moments ago, Fairchild and Kenyatta had been so arrogant. Now, they were begging for forgiveness. How ridiculous!

Khloe looked at them with indifference and said, “Get out of here. Otherwise, you’ll be dragged down with the Russell family.”

Fairchild and Kenyatta trembled with fear at Khloe’s words, the hopelessness clear in their eyes. They knew the situation was beyond saving. Filled with regret but unable to do anything, they slowly stood up and left, defeated.

Once again, the crowd was stunned by Khloe’s unflinching resolve. There was no doubt she was ruthless. While the two researchers were far from perfect, it was undeniable that, without them, Khloe’s team would have struggled to finish the potion for the competition.

Even though many were impressed by Khloe’s influence and her confident demeanor, some thought her decision was unwise. Seeing her dismiss the two researchers made them feel she was overly confident in her power.

“Khloe really is small-minded. She just pushed those two away without a second thought. Doesn’t she realize that without them, she might not even finish her potion?”

“She’s got quite the powerful background, but honestly, she’s acting foolish. Now she’s down to just three people. Does she really think she can still compete? I’m curious to watch how she handles this.”

Sloane overheard the whispers and couldn’t help but feel a smug satisfaction as she watched Khloe struggle. She had always envied Khloe, and now seeing her take a firm stand against the two traitors, a strange sense of pleasure washed over her. Despite still fearing Khloe’s power, Sloane ridiculed Khloe’s arrogance deep down.

Khloe’s arrogance and coldness were undeniable. But Sloane found comfort in knowing she didn’t need to interfere with Oasis Laboratory’s potion. She’d simply sit back and wait for Khloe to falter and be disqualified from the competition.

“Eric, let’s go. Khloe’s going to be disqualified, no doubt about it. You tried to warn her, but she wouldn’t listen. Someone as proud and stubborn as her needs to fail so maybe she’ll realize your kindness wasn’t meant to hurt her.”

Eric sighed as he listened to Sloane. He still wanted to help Khloe, hoping she’d see his good intentions, but her stubbornness had pushed him too far. Not only had she refused his advice, but she had humiliated him publicly. It was beyond frustrating.

“You’re right. If only Khloe could be as thoughtful and kind as you,” Eric said, shaking his head.

A spark of satisfaction flickered in Sloane’s eyes. Eric’s attitude toward her had finally improved. Ever since Khloe had revealed she was Henrik’s fiancée, Eric had been in denial, still holding onto the hope of winning her heart.

As expected, Khloe’s setback worked in Sloane’s favor. She shot a derisive glance at Khloe before dragging Eric back to her booth to begin preparing some experimental medicine.
