Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 60:

“She’s nothing but utterly shameless trash!”

After a brief pause, the live chat exploded in a flurry of heated comments.

“Wow! Eric’s got guts! Totally lives up to his reputation. Doesn’t care who he offends!”

“Who cares? Khloe is just some minor celebrity. Even with a sponsor, she’d never dare speak up in front of Eric! What’s the big deal about calling her out? She deserves it!”

“Eric really can’t stand Khloe. Seems like her rise to fame is anything but clean.”

“If the Peaks of Eternity production team has a brain, they’ll strip her of that role. If Eric decides to act, they’re finished!”

The mere mention of Khloe soured Eric’s mood instantly.

His voice darkened. “Sloane’s acting speaks for itself. No further discussion needed. The banquet’s about to begin, so I’ll head out first.”

Sensing his growing frustration, Sloane quickly signaled to her assistant to put the phone away, then approached Eric with a sweet smile.

“I’m sorry. I should’ve had the assistant screen those questions.”

“It’s fine. It’s just… she disgusts me,” Eric muttered, though his mind kept drifting back to that day in the hospital, when Khloe’s magnetic presence had unsettled him. The more he thought about it, the more he despised his own reaction.

“Let’s go. The banquet’s starting. We should head down.”

The two made their way to the banquet hall, the live stream capturing every angle of the lavish event, broadcasting it to thousands of eager viewers.

As they entered, their arrival drew attention, and the crowd surged forward to exchange pleasantries.

Eric introduced Sloane to his parents, who greeted her warmly, sparking another wave of excitement from Sloane’s fans online.

She stood tall, eyes shining with pride as the admiration and envy of those around her surged.

In that moment, every sneer and whisper she’d endured as the illegitimate daughter faded into oblivion.

She was the center of attention now, the only noble lady in the room, basking in the adoration of thousands.

Suddenly, a loud commotion broke out at the entrance, drawing the gaze of every single person in the room. The viewers online noticed it too, their excitement escalating as they wondered what would unfold next.noveldrama

“Is someone important arriving? I can’t stand the suspense! Who could it be?”

“Could it be the elusive power player, Henrik Watson, the underworld king himself? I’m on the edge of my seat!”

Under countless watchful eyes, a figure glided through the crowd with slow, elegant grace.

Khloe entered, draped in a champagne-colored haute couture gown that floated like a silken cloud with each step.

The soft light caressed her smooth, radiant skin, and a breathtaking diamond necklace, expertly cut and polished, glistened against her collarbone, radiating sophistication and opulence.

Yet even the splendor of her attire couldn’t compete with her commanding beauty.

Her face was a vision of elegance, her features as perfect as if painted by the finest artist. Her subtly upturned eyes held a captivating allure—a balance of mystery and poise that held everyone spellbound.

But it was her aura that left the room speechless. She emanated a depth as profound as an untouched ocean, an air of mystique that was both alluring and elusive, setting her leagues apart from everyone around her.
