Chapter 314:
“Who exactly is Khloe? Henrik is so protective of her. He is even willing to fall out with the Douglas family for her.
And Izabella just offered her daughter's face for slaps at the mere sight of Khloe.”
“This banquet is worth my time. I've had enough of watching a .”
Izabella turned a deaf ear to the discussions and ridicule around her. She simply instructed the maids to clean up
the mess, and the banquet resumed.
When she saw Henrik sitting alone with Khloe, she turned to Ashton and explained the situation. “I have a feeling
that Khloe is connected to the Magician.”
Ashton’s eyes widened at Izabella’s words. The mention of “Magician” was enough to make his heart race. “Are
you sure? Magician is the world’s top doctor but is extremely mysterious. How could Henrik’s fiancée be linked to
the doctor?”
The Magician they were talking about was a legendary doctor who had appeared six years ago. This doctor was
an enigma, a figure shrouded in mystery and legend. Every tthe doctor appeared, they left behind a potion
with their signature. And this potion could cure any illness.
No matter how strange, rare, serious, or intractable a disease was, their potion could deal with it. As long as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMagician intervened, no disease was incurable. However, Magician remained elusive. No one knew the doctor's
gender, and they never visited affluent areas. Instead, they preferred to deliver medicine to impoverished
neighborhoods. Many had tried to corner the doctor, but none had succeeded. Three years ago, this enigmatic
doctor had vanished without a trace.
“I'm not sure. But you know, three years ago, | caught a glimpse of Magician's back. Although I didn’t see their
face, | noticed a very distinct scent on them,” Izabella said word by word. “When | got close to Khloe earlier, |
smelled that sscent on her. It's not exactly the same, but very similar. So, she must have sundisclosed
connection to Magician.”
It dawned on Ashton why Izabella, usually so fond of Baylee, demanded such an embarrassing apology from her.
The underlying cause was their fear of antagonizing someone as influential and enigmatic as Magician. Magician,
known for their mystery and danger, posed a significant threat. If Magician were to stand behind Khloe and
endorse her, the consequences could be catastrophic. Imagine if Magician implied that defying the Douglas
family might result in favorable medical attention from them. Such a prospect would motivate many to attempt
to topple the family’s reign. This threat could herald the end for the Douglas family!
Amid discussions about Khloe between Izabella and Ashton, Henrik was also seeking clarity on recent
occurrences, questioning, “Izabella appears to be intimidated by you. Why?”
“Intimidated by me? It seems she’s actually intimidated by you.” Khloe, gracefully lifting a glass of champagne
from the table, subtly changed the subject as she sipped. “Earlier, what were you discussing privately with
Ashton?”

Henrik’s eyes lingered on Khloe, but she was busy steering the conversation in a new direction. She must be
hiding something from him.
Henrik, with a slight curl of his lips, chose not to confront Khloe about her evasion. Instead, he replied, “It was
just about the election. | attended tonight's banquet primarily to finalize a deal, but Ashton has just informed me
of an issue.”
“And what is that?”
“Ashton has received a more tempting offer from the Dayton family. If | can’t offer something superior, he might
choose to work with them instead.”
Khloe’s brow creased. She was perplexed by the Dayton family’s efforts to prevent her from making progress in
the biopharmaceutical sector. If they managed to increase their influence now, it would significantly hinder her
laboratory's rise to prominence.
With a clear and steady gaze, she asked, “You're disclosing the specifics of this deal tobecause you believe |
can assist, correct?”
A flicker of admiration passed through Henrik’s gaze as he observed Khloe. His lips formed a faint smile. “You
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmalways have such a sharp mind. Indeed, I'm in need of your assistance. Ashton’s desires go beyond mere
advantages; he’s looking to extend his wife's lifespan. Regrettably, Izabella’s days are numbered, with perhaps
only a month left to live.”
