Chapter 309
Chapter 309:
Every word that cfrom Khloe’s mouth hit the mark. It was true. Baylee had quietly given her approval, even
pushing Erma to challenge Khloe.
She had underestimated Khloe’s power, thinking she was an easy target. But now, Khloe had cut straight
through her manipulations.
Defeated in argument, Baylee chose to remain silent. After all, this was her territory. Why should she back down
to an outsider like Khloe?
With a sharp command, she directed her family’s bodyguards, saying, “Take this woman out of here, now!”
Just as the bodyguards prepared to advance and throw Khloe out, a voice, full of authority and menace, rang out
from above.
“| dare anyone to lay a hand on my fiancée!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHenrik’s voice thundered across the hall, commanding and fierce, leaving everyone in stunned silence.
Everyone's gaze instinctively turned upward to the tall, imposing figure standing on the second floor.
It was Henrik.
He stood by the railing in a sharp black suit, his stance as solid as a mountain. His gaze, cold and sharp as a
blade in the dead of night, made it impossible for anyone to look him in the eye.
The bodyguards, who had been bracing to move, froze, exchanging wary glances. Fear flickered in their eyes.
They were all too familiar with Henrik’s reputation, and none dared to challenge his authority.
The revelation left the crowd speechless. Their eyes widened, and their jaws practically hit the floor in shock.
What? The woman they had all assumed was just another beautiful face was actually Henrik’s fiancée? It was too
much to process.
“No, it can’t be!” someone stuttered. “Isn't Henrik known for steering clear of women? How could he suddenly
have a fiancée out of nowhere?”
“Oh my, this is huge! Young women from wealthy families everywhere—no, from all over the world—are going to
be devastated!”

In the middle of the crowd, Baylee's eyes grew wide with disbelief. She couldn't process the reality of what she
had just heard.
She had long admired Henrik, despite the Douglas family’s minimal contact with him.
She had been certain that her beauty and prestigious background would secure her a place by Henrik’s side.
But now that dream had ccrashing down.
“No, this can’t be real!” Baylee cried, her composure slipping. “How could Henrik be interested in someone like
her? There isn’t even a well-known family with the surnEvans in elite circles! She’s just an ordinary civilian,
nothing special!”
Baylee’s friend anxiously pulled at her sleeve. “Baylee, please calm down. Henrik’s watching from up there.” But
Baylee was too consumed by jealousy and resentment to listen. Her eyes blazed with fury as she spat, “That
woman must have used skind of trick to deceive Henrik into this engagement. She’s nothing but a

Henrik made his way down the stairs at a deliberate pace, each step radiating an undeniable authority as he
moved towards Baylee and Khloe.
Baylee rushed forward, her voice desperate. “Henrik, you're joking, right? How could someone like her—just an
ordinary woman—possibly be worthy of you?”
Baylee’s expression practically screamed that she was the only one who deserved Henrik’s love.
Henrik’s gaze cut through her like a cold, unwavering blade, his indifference making it clear he saw right through
her petty schemes.
