Chapter 434:

He had fallen for her instantly. Unfortunately, he hadn’t known it was Khloe at the time, or he would never have

let her engagement to Eric happen.

Without even realizing it, Khloe instinctively leaned back, putting sdistance between herself and Clinton.

Her brow furrowed, and her expression grew more serious. “I didn’t just save you that day. There were others

too. By your logic, does that mean fate brought everyone I've helped into my life? If you want to focus on the

conference, then let's stick to that. But if this conversation is going to stray from the topic, then | think it’s best |

leave.”

Clinton, seeing her firm rejection, showed a brief flicker of disappointment in his eyes. He sat back slowly and

took a deep breath. “Alright, | respect your decision. Let's get back to the conference. As | said, the key issue is

the Mayor's political gains for his promotion. From what I've gathered, Conroy has made a deal with Richard to

introduce his team’s new cancer cure, which can suppress all types of cancer and even treat smild cases. If

this goes through, Conroy's promotion is practically guaranteed.”

The news made Khloe sit up, startled by the implications.

If Clinton's information was accurate, and Conroy had indeed struck such a deal with Richard, it would seriously

jeopardize her efforts to undo the new regulatory controls and undermine Henrik’s plan to position his people in

Congress.

But how did Clinton know this when even Henrik’s network had yet to catch wind of it?

Khloe held back her suspicions and asked, “Are you certain this information is trustworthy? As far as | know,

Ouiswell only developed this drug recently, less than a month ago, and production is limited, not even enough

for the city’s elite. How could Richard afford to give any to Conroy?”

Clinton's eyes lit up with admiration for Khloe’s quick understanding of the situation. “You're correct. At first,

there was no way Richard could spare any, but Conroy has something Richard needs badly, so Richard agreed.

As for the details of their agreement, I'm not privy to them. It's confidential.”

Khloe gave him a brief nod of appreciation for his help but kept her distance. She stood up and said, “I

appreciate the information. I'll remember your kindness, but as for the other matters, they'll be forgotten. Let's

not mention them again.”

With that, she turned and walked away, not bothering to glance back.

Her frosty behavior caused Clinton's handsface to harden and his eyes to darken as he muttered, “Khloe,

our bond is unbreakable. You will marryin the end.”

After leaving Clinton, Khloe made her way to meet Charlotte. As she neared, she heard raised voices and the

unmistakable sound of mocking laughter. A young woman, dressed in extravagant clothes, was holding onto

Charlotte's arm and taunting her. “Well, well, look who decided to show up! Charlotte, the basement dweller,

actually has the guts to attend a fancy conference like this. You're ruining the vibe here.”

Normally quick-witted, Charlotte seemed frozen in place, unable to respond to the woman's scorn.

Khloe instantly recognized the signs of a post-traumatic stress reaction in Charlotte.

The young woman's tirade continued, her eyes full of disdain. “Speak up, Charlotte! You miserable thief,

dreaming of making it big? Don’t forget, you were a petty thief in high school. How dare you show your face

here? Security, throw this thief out!”

Suddenly, a sharp slap echoed through the room.

Khloe had quickly and forcefully slapped the woman across the face, in full view of everyone.

The woman's face bloomed with a bright red mark, her skin swelling and distorting from the force of the blow.
