Chapter 302:
The man she remembered was cold and unyielding, driven by anger. Now, he was different—someone who cared
and considered others deeply.
For the first tin a long while, Henrik had someone besides his mother he truly cared about.
“I'm ready.” Khloe’s voice broke the silence from the dressing room.
The curtain slowly parted, and both Henrik and Cynthia turned toward it, their eyes fixed in eager anticipation.
Khloe stood there, as if she belonged in another world—elegant, graceful, and effortlessly beautiful.
“Venus!” Cynthia breathed out the word in awe. “It’s like watching the goddess of beauty emerge from a pearl
shell. It’s amazing!”
Her description might have been tic, but it was spot on. Henrik stood there, equally captivated, unable to
look away.
The purple dress made Khloe look almost unreal—delicate and glowing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHenrik immediately regretted letting her wear Cynthia’s dress.
Seeing her like this, he wanted to keep her all to himself. The dress was set, and the next evening, Henrik and
Khloe arrived on time.
At the venue, the doorman saw Henrik and opened the door without checking the invitation.
As they entered, Khloe was taken aback by the unusual style of the party.
It was nothing like she'd expected.
The banquet’s arrangement was peculiar. The dim lighting cast an eerie ambiance over the entire place. The
flickering lights, each resembling a ghostly eye in the dark night, seemed to blink in and out.

The gigantic crystal chandelier hanging on the high ceiling emitted a cold, eerie glow. It was as if thousands of
crystal droplets might fall at any moment.
Also, there were strange Gothic-style sculptures in the middle of the banquet hall, which added to the unsettling
atmosphere.
This kind of thwas rare in typical luxurious banquets.
Henrik noticed Khloe’s eyes wandering around. He knew she was curious, so he explained, “Ashton dotes on his
wife, who loves dark aesthetics. The design of this banquet reflects her taste. It's just that only a few people
know that this arrangement is for her.”
Khloe nodded. No wonder this detail was not mentioned in the information she had gathered in advance.
A powerful senator was so tolerant of his wife. But whether it was genuine or just for show, no one knew except
him.
The guests who had already arrived at the banquet were captivated by Khloe and Henrik. They all fixed their
eyes on the pair.
Henrik was strikingly handstonight. The custom-made black suit clung to his frperfectly, each sharp
line accentuating his tall figure and the commanding presence he effortlessly exuded. His broad shoulders and
narrow waist seemed to have been carefully carved by the finest sculptor. But it was his formidable aura that
was truly captivating.
Khloe, standing next to him, was equally striking. Her hair, expertly styled in an elegant bun to complement her
gown, added an air of grace and sophistication. The diamond tiara perched atop her head sparkled faintly under

the rich, regal purple of her dress. The purple-black spider lily on her chest perfectly matched the banquet’s
theme. It felt as though the castle was her domain, and everyone's attention was on her.
As soon as Ashton saw Henrik, he walked over and greeted him. “Mr. Watson, it's an honor to have you here.”
Henrik nodded slightly, his expression indifferent yet polite. “You're too kind, Mr. Douglas. I'm actually honored to
be one of your invited guests.”
Ashton’s gaze turned to Khloe. A trace of admiration flickered in his eyes. “Mr. Watson, this must be your fiancée.
Indeed, she is stunning. You two are a match made in heaven.”
