NovelEndChapter 222 Chapter 222: Clinton shot a cold, cutting glance at the woman named Lisbeth Finch, silencing her in an instant.
He proceeded to hand Colleen a gift, offering his well-wishes, before taking a seat next to Khloe. Before long, the dishes were brought out, and everyone dug in, enjoying their food and drinks. Halfway through, Colleen, feeling the strain of her age, excused herself to rest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKhloe, feeling a slight dizziness from the alcohol, decided to step away and headed to the restroom to freshen up.
As she walked back, a voice from the private room rang out, full of excitement. "Hey, have you heard? Khloe deceived her way through that exam! She spent a billion to bribe a patient into pretending that the AIDS medication she developed was effective. Can you believe Khloe would spend so much just to pass the exam?" Khloe could clearly make out the voices coming from inside. One of them belonged to Lisbeth, the girl who had once been her rival for a spot in the high school math competition. At first, they hadn't gotten along, but everything changed after Khloe got early acceptance into a prestigious university abroad and it becknown that she was the eldest daughter of the Evans family. That was when Lisbeth decided to reach out and mend their relationship.
Khloe, bearing no ill will, even went as far as helping Lisbeth with her applications to study overseas. For stime, their friendship seemed genuine, and Lisbeth went so far as to call herself Khloe's closest friend.
However, once Khloe moved abroad, her busy life caused them to drift apart.
It all clicked now. Khloe finally understood why her classmates had been acting so oddly-Lisbeth had been spreading rumors about her behind her back.
To them, Khloe was no longer surrounded by the untouchable aura of the Evans family's eldest daughter. The moment a seemingly perfect figure like Khloe revealed any flaws, the admiration and kindness she once enjoyed disappeared entirely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgalnovsis where imagination thrives In a self-satisfied tone, Lisbeth sneered. “Everyone knows Khloe landed in prison, right? But here's the juicy part -did you know that the moment she got out, she got involved with sunderworld kingpin? The man's over fifty, even older than her dad." "Enough!" Clinton cut off Lisbeth sharply, his voice trembling with restrained fury.
Lisbeth's triumphant smirk vanished as she stared at Clinton, stunned. The rest of their classmates, who had been eagerly soaking up the gossip, were just as shocked.
Known for his calm and kind demeanor, Clinton now had a dark scowl. He scoffed, "Lisbeth, it's no surprise Khloe earned her spot in the math competition that year, while you didn't even make the cut." Fixing his gaze on Lisbeth's now ashen face, he added, "You poured all your energy into envying Khloe, and that's why you'll never reach her level. She's a swan, and you're just a duckling stuck in the mud, weighed down by jealousy." Lisbeth hadn't anticipated such biting words from Clinton. Her cheeks flushed red, tears threatening to spill, but behind her humiliation flared a burning resentment toward Khloe.
So what if Khloe had once basked in admiration? None of it had been real, anyway. Now Khloe was nothing but a former convict. How could someone like that ever measure up to her? Balling her hands into fists, Lisbeth hissed, “Clinton, you don't even know the real Khloe. How can you defend her so blindly? She's nothing but a fraud! Not only did she end up in prison, but she also faked her academic success. She only won the math competition because she seduced the supervisor and got the test answers ahead of time."
The room fell silent, the weight of Lisbeth's words hanging the air. It's that is hanging heavily in e Its that really true?"
Lisbeth didn't back down. "I'm telling you, it's true. I saw it with my own it yes, Khloewalked right into a hotel room with the supervisor."
that? You The crowd murmured in shock and contempt for Khloe. "Who would've guessed Khloe was like that? really can't tell what someone's like on the inside." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
