Then it clicked-this was part of their plan to show their connection. Without thinking, she returned his embrace. “I didn't want to wait inside. I was eager to see you." Henrik let out a chuckle, his face filled with warmth as his eyes swept over Khloe's stunned classmates. But his voice turned dark as he spoke. "Wasn't this supposed to be a high school reunion? How did people like this end up here? I've told you before, you should takewith you when you go out. Without me, people like this try to take advantage of you." There was sincerity in his words-this wasn't just for show. He always believed that while Khloe was intelligent and calculating, she lacked the necessary ruthlessness.
Her kind-hearted nature often held her back. Sure, she could be tough on people like Sloane or the Evans family. However, when it cto those she barely knew or had little history with, she avoided taking extrmeasures.
If it had been Henrik, he wouldn't have hesitated to take swift and decisive action. But that was one of the things Henrik admired most about Khloe. Even after all she'd been through, she held firm to her principles, refusing to let the darkness consher.
To him, Khloe's purity wasn't just admirable-it was precious. He saw it as his duty to safeguard her innocence and integrity, and with his influence, he had every means to make it happen.
"Alright, I get it. Next time, I'll be sure to bring you along," Khloe said with an easy smile, her eyes sparkling with warmth. She spoke so naturally, not even realizing how much she'd cto depend on Henrik.
But Clinton saw it clearly, and the realization made him uneasy. Was he watching his chances with Khloe slip through his fingers yet again? No, he couldn't let that happen. Even if his competition was his own uncle, he wasn't ready to give up so easily. Clinton's resolve solidified, his gaze sharpening with determination.

One woman, her tone cautious but curious, asked, "Khloe, is he your boyfriend?" Khloe's lips curled into a playful smile as she turned, looping her arm through Henrik's with ease. "Yes. This is my fiancé, Henrik Watson." She paused, letting her gaze sweep over Jada and Lisbeth, a mocking smile curling her lips. “The sman sof you had the nerve to call 'old' and 'ugly.' My supposed sugar daddy." Everyone was left speechless by Khloe's words. Their eyes turned to Henrik, standing tall beside her. His strikingly handsfeatures, refined elegance, and commanding aura made him impossible to ignore. He was nothing like the unattractive man Lisbeth had described.
A woman's eyes widened with a mix of shock and envy. "Khloe, your fiancé is unbelievably good-looking. He's obviously no average man." The others quickly joined in. "Wow, Khloe, you're so fortunate." "I always believed Khloe couldn't be the type Lisbeth described. We really had it wrong-her fiancé is incredible."
Jada's and Lisbeth's faces darkened with embarrassment. Only a short while ago, they'd mocked Khloe as a desperate gold digger chasing after ap aging sugar daddy. But now, with her fiancé standing before them-charming, dignified, and clearly a young man of remarkable stature-it was as if their scorn had backfired, leaving them utterly humiliated.
