Chapter 381:

Eric wasn’t really defending Sloane—he was simply trying to preserve his own absurd reputation at her expense.

A cold laugh escaped Khloe’s lips, her gaze dripping with mockery. “So this is your tactic. Using Henrik to

pressurejust to protect your pride? How revolting.”

Eric's face hardened, and he shot back with a sharp reply. “Am | wrong? Uncle Henrik is part of the Watson family

too. We're family, and if you go through with this, it'll disgrace the entire family!”

Khloe regarded Eric, who clung stubbornly to the notion that he was protecting the family’s reputation. A fleeting

look of pity crossed her face, and then, she smiled brightly.

“Fine, since you believe Henrik would be upset byruining the Watson family’s reputation, why don’t we ask

him what he thinks?”

Without another word, Khloe dialed Henrik’s number right in front of Eric and then put the phone on speaker.

The loud ring shattered the silence, each cha blow to Eric’s chest. His expression darkened as panic set in,

but he could do nothing but brace himself, waiting for the connection.

Before long, Henrik’s deep, resonant voice filled the room. “Khloe! What's going on? Aren't you supposed to be

at the competition?”

His voice echoed through the room, clearly indicating that he had just woken up. Despite the grogginess, his

tone was remarkably soft and gentle, making the women’s hearts flutter and their faces blush.

Was this really the sHenrik, the infamous underworld kingpin? His voice seemed too kind, too soothing, to

belong to someone of his notorious reputation.

As Henrik’s soft tone reached his ears, Eric couldn't help but think about how close Khloe and Henrik were. A

flicker of jealousy flashed in his eyes as his fists clenched, a wave of malice creeping through him.

Feeling the warmth of Henrik’s tone, Khloe softened her own voice. “I do have something to tell you.”

“Just tell me, I'll take care of it,” Henrik replied without a second thought, not even asking what she needed.

The way Henrik spoke to her was so indulgent that Khloe felt a little shy, as if their private affection was being

laid bare for everyone to see. She cleared her throat and then got straight to the point. “Sloane tried to frame

from calling the police, claiming it'll damage your reputation and that you'd be upset.”

A brief silence followed before Henrik’s cold chuckle broke the stillness.

The sound sent a chill down Eric’s spine, and he shuddered involuntarily. “Eric, always thinking of me, always

doing what you think is best for me. You're truly fit to be the heir of the Watson family.” Henrik’s voice remained

deep and steady.

Hearing this, Eric smiled, thinking Henrik agreed with him, but then the next words shattered his thoughts.

Henrik’s voice took on a sharp edge. “Eric, kneel and slap yourself ten times in apology to Khloe!”

Eric stood frozen, his smile instantly fading as his face drained of color. He stared at the phone in Khloe’s hand,

unable to believe what he was hearing. Henrik actually wanted him to do this?

“Uncle Henrik, there are so many people here,” Eric retorted, his voice trembling with disbelief.

Henrik sneered. “What, you dare defy my orders now? You want to choose between being the heir to the Watson

family or your own dignity? Or would you prefer | cover there and handle it myself?”

The coldness of his words drained the color from Eric's face, his expression turning grim. He knew that when

Henrik spoke, he meant it. Fear and uncertainty welled up inside him, leaving him torn.
