GoodNovelChapter 229 Chapter 229: Her accusation made the crowd exchange uncertain looks. Moments ago, they had been impressed by Henrik's commanding presence, but now her words planted a seed of skepticism.
If Lisbeth really had video evidence, maybe she wasn't making this up. Could her claims have struth to them? Was it possible Khloe had actually hired an actor for appearances? The classmates exchanged uneasy glances, and one murmured, "If there's proof, maybe Khloe is tricking us." Another chimed in defensively, "Or maybe she's just modest. Look at her. Khloe's stunning and elegant. It's no surprise she has such an amazing fiancé." Lisbeth scoffed, her tone dripping with disdain. "Huh, maybe she's just pulling this stunt to show off and make herself look good." Sensing an opportunity, Jada chimed in, "Khloe, con. We've all known each other for years-there's no need to keep up pretenses. Sure, it's your private life, but lying isn't the way to handle things." Together, Lisbeth and Jada fueled the suspicion, strengthening the idea that Khloe was spinning a lie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKhloe's expression grew icy as her sharp gaze locked onto Lisbeth. She now understood Lisbeth's relentless attacks. Sloane had to be pulling the strings. Clearly, her earlier warning hadn't been enough, and Lisbeth had grown bolder in her defiance.
At that moment, Clinton stepped forward. After a brief pause, his gaze flicked between Khloe and Henrik before he greeted, "Uncle Henrik." The single word, "Uncle," hit like a bolt of lightning, stunning everyone. Their eyes darted between Clinton and Henrik, brimming with shock and confusion.
"Wait... Did Clinton just call him 'Uncle'? What's happening here?" someone blurted out in disbelief.
Everyone knew Clinton belonged to the Watson family. Even though he wasn't from the main branch, his connection to such a powerful nwas undeniable. For Clinton to use such a respectful term, Henrik couldn't possibly be shired actor.
Jada's jaw dropped, her eyes wide with shock. Just moments ago, she had been silently mocking Khloe's performance, but now the unexpected truth left her utterly dumbfounded. Lisbeth was equally stunned. After loudly accusing Khloe of lying, Clinton's address completely robbed her of words. How was this possible? Sloane had assured her that Khloe was relying on an older man, someone easily discarded.
"Hold on..." The woman who'd asked about Khloe's fiancé earlier now looked between Clinton and Henrik, her voice trembling. "Mr. Watson, aren't you the one who's friends with the President? Didn't the President personally thank you during the inauguration three years ago?" "That would be me," Henrik affirmed with a composed nod.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe crowd fell silent once more, completely stunned by Henrik's confirmation. Their gazes remained locked on him, brimming with astonishment and disbelief.
"He's a friend of the President? That's unreal!" someone whispered in a voice tinged with shock.
Jada was utterly speechless, her mind racing to process the revelation. She never, in her wildest dreams, thought Khloe's fiancé would have such a remarkable background. Would Khloe remember her earlier insults?
Lisbeth's face drained of color. The gravity of her situation hit her hard.
She had treated Khloe as an easy target, someone she could humiliate freely. But never in her worst nightmares did she expect Khloe's fiancé to wield such immense influence.
"No! This can't be true! You're lying!" Lisbeth protested, shaking her head in denial. Yet deep down, she knew the bitter truth-Sloane had misled her completely.
