Eric stood frozen, utterly astonished. He instantly recognized the pill, vividly recalling his encounter with it at a high-profile auction he had attended just six months ago.
At the time, he had considered purchasing it as a birthday gift for Morris. But the moment the pill was revealed, the wealthy crowd had erupted in a frenzy, pushing the price up to a staggering 1.5 billion. Eric had been unable to keep up with the bidding.

That was nine billion! Everyone's eyes widened further in astonishment. This was Khloe's first visit, and she had already stunned them with such an extravagant gift.
The Watson family servants had witnessed their fair share of opulent presents, but nothing quite like this.
Could Khloe truly be just a member of the Evans family? To give such an invaluable gift-what kind of background could she possibly cfrom? The room fell into a hushed silence as all eyes remained glued to the priceless Longevity Pills in Morris' hand. Henrik observed their reactions with a subtle smile, his eyes gleaming with pride for Khloe.
When Khloe first revealed the bottle of pills, Henrik had been taken aback, but it didn't take long for him to deduce that these pills were likely of her own making.
After all, it was hard to fathom how she could afford such a miraculous gift and give it away unless she had crafted it herself. Even Henrik, with all his resources, could barely manage such a feat.
Once the possibility dawned on him, Henrik felt no sense of tension or worry about Khloe's abilities. Instead, he was intrigued, eager to uncover yet another hidden talent of hers. Before now, shad thought Morris' gift was overly lavish, but now they realized he had truly hit the jackpot-Khloe's generosity was unmatched.

Just one pill would have been enough; you should take the rest back." "Morris, you're Henrik's father. You deserve them," Khloe replied, her gaze calm. “Besides, these didn't costmuch. The person who makes these pills is a friend of mine. I bought them at a much lower price." This revelation left everyone speechless.
The servants began murmuring among themselves. “Miss Evans is truly remarkable, gifting something worth 9 billion without a second thought. It's beyond belief." "Absolutely. It's clear Miss Evans's background is far from ordinary. We'll need to serve her with even greater care from now on." Khloe had already won their admiration by acquiring a masterpiece by White, and now she was revealed to be friends with the creator of this miraculous medicine. It was almost too extraordinary to comprehend.

Eric's regret consumed him entirely. He stared at Khloe, his eyes swirling with a mixture of envy remorse, and disbelie. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought the woman he had dumped would rise to wield such incredible connections.
If he had given Khloe just a sliver of trust three years ago, wouldn't everything she had now belong to him? Wouldn't he be the one dazzling his grandfather with such magnificent gifts? Across the room, Sloane seethed with jealousy. She glared at Khloe, her heart burning with resentment. Why was Khloe always so lucky? Why did she have to be the one blessed with treasures beyond imagination? To Sloane, Khloe wasn't just an adversary-she was a curse. She clenched her fists, vowing to find a way to bring Khloe crashing back to earth.
"Khloe, you're like a daughter to me. If Henrik ever dares to hurt you, I'll om make sure he regrets & Morris declared with a wide grin, clapping his hands in excitement. His eyes shone with pride and affection. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
