Chapter 370:
It was becoming clear that Khloe’s journey toward marrying Henrik wasn’t going to be as effortless as she'd
imagined.
A slight frown tugged at Khloe’s brow as she realized that Whitney's actions weren't merely antagonistic; they
hinted that Whitney might doubt her status as Henrik’s fiancée.
Keeping her composure, Khloe returned a subtle, confident smile, her tone calm and unbothered by Whitney's
sharp stare. “Ms. Dayton, I'm not sure what you're implying. Henrik is exceptional, far above most men in this
world. What woman wouldn't be drawn to him?”
Whitney's contempt beceven more evident as she fixed Khloe with a cold, scornful look. Her voice dripped
with sarcasm. “Above most men? You're quite the flatterer. I'm sure many would admire his wealth and looks, but
you are a brilliant mind who cracked an incredible medical case. Are you truly so superficial? Do you genuinely
care for Henrik, or is it just that you're trying to use him, having just been released from prison and with no
family support?”
The moment Whitney's words hung in the air, the room went completely silent. Tension gripped everyone, like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe oppressive stillness before a storm breaks.
The crowd stood frozen, their eyes darting between Whitney and Khloe. They were taken aback by Whitney's
bluntness, especially as she exposed Khloe's secret—her tin prison—a detail few had known about. The
revelation spread like wildfire, and soon, the crowd was buzzing with whispers and speculation.
“Wait, Khloe just got out of prison? That can’t be right.”
“Could it be true? Did Whitney make a slip-up? And isn’t Henrik skind of powerful figure in the underworld?
Would he really be into a woman with a criminal past?”
Sloane watched, her eyes lighting up with satisfaction as Whitney's words tarnished Khloe's reputation—
something she had worked hard to rebuild after solving the Jose Drug case.
Sloane pretended to be concerned as she gently pulled on Eric’s sleeve. “Eric, isn’t it too harsh for the chief
judge to bring up such a painful issue in front of Khloe? Yes, she made mistakes and went to prison, but she’s
served her time. Shouldn't we step in and support her? This is humiliating for her with everyone looking on.”

Eric shot Sloane a surprised glance. “You actually want to help her? This is Whitney Dayton, the chief judge of
the competition. Aren’t you worried about crossing her?”
“We're family, after all. How could | not stand by Khloe just because I'm worried about the judge?” She turned
toward Whitney, her tone shifting to one of gentle reproach. “Please, Ms. Dayton, let’s not bring up the past
again. Yes, Khloe made a mistake, and yes, it cost someone their life, but she’s already paid for it. There's no
need to continue making her a target for mockery.”
While it seemed like she was trying to defend Khloe, she inadvertently validated Whitney's accusation, even
going so far as to confirm that Khloe had been jailed for causing a death.
The weight of the situation grew heavier, and as anticipated, Sloane's words caused the already skeptical
researchers to eye Khloe with suspicion. After all, it was no secret that Sloane was Khloe’s half-sister.
“Oh my god, if Sloane says it, it must be true. No wonder Whitney asked that question. Khloe went to prison for
murder, not spetty crime. I'd never feel comfortable with someone like that involved with my nephew.”
“But Khloe is impressive. After getting out of prison, she’s somehow managed to latch onto Henrik, this big-time
guy. Now she’s running her own biotech lab and used to be in showbiz. Wow, she really knows how to climb the
ladder. Seems like character and ability don’t always match up, huh? It’s unfair that someone like Khloe gets so
far.”
With the sarcasm and doubt pouring in from all sides, any other contestant would have been broken by
Whitney's harsh glare and the relentless criticism, possibly even quitting right then and there.
But for Khloe, this kind of verbal assault was nothing new. Her three years of survival in prison had hardened her,

were nothing more than stepping stones on her path to success.
Seeing the clear hostility from Whitney, Khloe made up her mind not to waste any courtesy or respect.
