Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 624:

As the situation calmed, everything slowly returned to normal. Sheri, sensing the change in the atmosphere, cursed Sloane in silence for her ineffectiveness. She had set everything up for Sloane but never anticipated her to be so useless. Instead of ruining Khloe’s reputation, Sloane had inadvertently boosted it, leaving the impression that Khloe was not someone to be trifled with.

With nothing left for her to do, Sheri stood up and left. It was pointless for her to stay.

On stage, Khloe straightened herself, turned to the host, and reminded him that the awards ceremony could officially resume. Those who had witnessed the scene were still in awe, struck by the way Khloe had handled the chaos.

It was no wonder Khloe had risen to such prominence as a super-mysterious painter and renowned writer. The events that had just unfolded were a testament to her unshakable resolve. They couldn’t compare to her.

This year’s awards ceremony was not only more lively than in previous years but also carried a unique gravitas. Among the awards, “Peaks of Eternity” was the biggest winner.

Khloe took home the Best Screenwriter, Best Actress, and Most Popular Actress of the Year.

“Peaks of Eternity” won Best Movie and Outstanding Movie. The director took home Best Director, and Adele won Best Supporting Actress.

After ensuring that no further matters required her attention at the awards ceremony, Khloe decided it was time to leave. Henrik and Morris followed closely behind her.

As Khloe, Henrik, and Morris made their way out, the celebrity guests and viewers watching the live stream grew even more curious about the nature of Khloe and Henrik’s relationship.

Khloe stood in front of the RV, waiting for Morris and Henrik to catch up. Once they arrived, she said casually, “Morris, you’d better go back now. I have other things to deal with.”

Morris looked disappointed. He had so many questions for his idol, White, about painting. But he understood and didn’t want to delay Khloe’s matters.

“Okay. Let’s talk when you have time,” he said, before urging Henrik to head to Khloe’s RV before taking Morris to his car.

Once inside the RV, Khloe asked Gloria for her phone and quickly opened the video to review it. After learning that Sheri had also been in the audience, she had asked Gloria to record Sheri’s reactions throughout the whole process, hoping to find some clues.

While watching the video, Khloe didn’t expect much progress. But suddenly, her expression darkened, and her finger paused the video. A murderous intent flickered in her eyes. “The academic fraud event back then has something to do with Sheri.”

In the video, Sheri’s expression drastically changed when she heard about the academic fraud that led to the deaths of five volunteers.

Khloe’s background in psychology and her study of micro-expressions came into play as she closely observed Sheri’s reactions. Despite Sheri’s attempts to compose herself, Khloe noticed the subtle signs that betrayed the truth. Sheri’s facial expressions and movements clearly revealed that the matter was connected to her.

Khloe had long suspected that Sloane and Lorraine alone couldn’t have orchestrated such a precise and devastating scheme—framing her for academic fraud while simultaneously engineering the deaths of the volunteers. There had to be someone else involved. After her release from prison, Khloe had been trying to uncover those behind it. But every time a slight trail of information emerged, it would immediately break off.

By carefully tracing these subtle clues and considering the recent fake artist incident, her suspicions now pointed to Sheri. Surprisingly, her imprisonment was intricately linked to Sheri. Henrik, hearing Khloe’s words and seeing Sheri’s poised face, looked as if he could freeze hell over with his icy stare.

However, he soon took a deep breath and turned his attention to Khloe, deciding to address the elephant in the room. “When you were imprisoned almost four years ago, we didn’t even know each other yet. If Sheri’s targeting you because of me now, why would she want to harm you back then?” The logic didn’t add up.

Khloe’s brows furrowed tightly as she considered possible reasons in her mind.noveldrama
