Chapter 249:
“Sir, I've got the details. Miss Evans is at Moonlight Restaurant, in No. 1 private room. She’s accompanied by
Eric,” Alan reported nervously, his voice trembling slightly. Sweat trickled down his back as he braced himself,
worried his boss might explode with anger and march straight to the restaurant to confront Eric.
“I see,” Henrik murmured, his tone much steadier than Alan had expected, though his presence felt even icier.
“Geta position where | can keep an eye on that room.”
“Understood.”
Meanwhile, inside the private room, Khloe and Eric were seated, with Gloria stationed protectively by her side.
Eric glanced at Gloria before suggesting, “Khloe, maybe you could have your bodyguard wait outside for a
while?”
“No,” Khloe replied firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument. “Surely you haven't forgotten my recent car
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaccident—courtesy of your fiancée, Sloane—that nearly killed me. | can’t risk being without my bodyguard now.
What if sthug decides to jump out and stab me?”
Eric's expression darkened, and he seemed ready to defend himself but instead let out a heavy sigh. “Khloe, |
know what Sloane did was awful. | didn’t see how cruel she was until it was too late. | fell for her lies, but I realize
now that you're the one | truly love.”
Khloe’s disgust was plain on her face as she shot back, “Eric, you honestly makenauseous. Fell for her lies?
Do you think I'm that gullible? You dumpedwithout a second thought three years ago to chase money and
status with Sloane. Now you're back with this nonsense? How pathetic.”
Eric’s face clouded with regret as he begged, “Khloe, | know | messed up. I'm deeply sorry. Just giveone
chance to set things right. | promise, I'll sacrifice everything for you.”
“Really?” Khloe asked, her voice unexpectedly gentle. “Would you genuinely give up everything for me?”
Eric's eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly nodded. “Yes, Khloe, I'd do whatever it takes for you.”

But just as quickly, Khloe’s expression hardened into a cold glare. Fixing her eyes on Eric, she spoke with chilling
clarity. “Then go to hell.”
“If you were dead, my hatred would finally fade. I'd find peace. Hell, | might even be grateful to you,” said Khloe.
Eric felt each word cut into him and freeze him, his face locking up in a mix of shock and raw pain. His mouth
opened as if to speak, but no sound followed.
Khloe didn’t flinch. If anything, her eyes turned colder. “What's the matter? You've gone quiet. Did you change
your mind? Didn’t you swear you'd give up everything for me? But look at you now, Eric. Your love means
nothing.”
Though she sat still, Eric felt small in front of her. She seemed untouchable, like she stood on sinvisible
throne.
And despite how much her words stung, Eric couldn’t deny that he admired her. She always stirred something
inside him whenever they were together.
He swallowed hard. When he finally spoke, his voice was hoarse. “I'm sorry, Khloe. Every ounce of anger you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave for me, | deserve it. But if you're still wondering why those researcher positions never got filled, it’s
because the Dayton family blacklisted you.”
Khloe’s eyes finally met Eric’s, sharp and probing.
The Dayton family?
In this country, the Dayton family wasn’t just powerful—they were the backbone of the entire biological field.
Their pharmaceutical empire, backed by endless funding and connections, had introduced game-changing drugs.
They owned three state-of-the-art labs that led research worldwide. If there was a trend in biopharma, the
Dayton family had likely set it.
