Chapter 440
Chapter 440:
Khloe patted her hand gently and whispered, “Trust me.”
She then raised her gaze, her expression calm and steady. “Alright, but | have a condition. If you can’t prove it,
I'll break your hands.”
Khloe’s voice was icy and emotionless, but her words sent a chill through Jessi, making her feel as though a
lurking predator was watching her, a cold dread spreading through her.
For a moment, Jessi almost considered backing out of the bet.
But remembering the millions in reward and her desire for revenge after being slapped by Khloe in front of
everyone, she pushed past her fear and gritted out, “Fine, it's a deal.”
Watching the bet settle, Conroy sneered. “Ladies, since you're so eager to gamble at this conference, so be it.
But now that I'm here, | can’t just stand aside. If anyone backs out, don’t blme for being merciless.”
Conroy let Jessi raise the stakes. With his sharp mind, he knew Jessi was the one tormenting Charlotte. But
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpeople like her weren't easily swayed, and Khloe wouldn't be able to gather evidence so easily.
Khloe imagining she could confront her with a few sharp words and uncover key evidence from an old incident
was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Conroy was simply waiting for Khloe to lose the bet and then force her to face the consequences. The thought of
Henrik’s fiancée crawling like a dog in front of everyone was enough to make her the butt of jokes. It would be a
huge blow to Henrik’s pride.
The mere thought of that moment made it impossible for Conroy to hide his grin.
Meanwhile, in a private room on the second floor of the conference hall, a strikingly handsman in a simple
uniform leaned against the glass window, watching the chaos unfold below with keen interest.
The glass gave him a perfect view of the scene below, while those down there remained unaware of his
presence.

The man, of course, was Henrik.
Behind him, Rhett stepped forward, sipping on red wine. Following Henrik’s gaze, he spotted Khloe below.
Henrik’s intense possessiveness and need for control were so palpable that even Rhett, as a mere observer, felt
an unsettling chill. He couldn’t begin to understand how Khloe managed to cope with someone so obsessed. As
he overheard the details of the bet, Rhett’s concern grew. He couldn't stay silent and said, “Are you really going
to let Khloe go through with this? If she loses, Conroy will make her crawl like a dog in public. It would be total
humiliation.”
Henrik didn’t even glance away, his gaze locked on Khloe with an unwavering intensity. “If Khloe wants to play
this game, then let her. I'll take care of whatever comes next.”
Rhett could only shake his head at Henrik’s words. Only Henrik had the guts to say something like that. Anyone
else facing Conroy’s manipulations would surely cout at a disadvantage.
Henrik’s voice took on a teasing edge. “Khloe’s not going to lose the bet. If anything, she’s even more careful
than I am.”
When Khloe agreed, Jessi couldn't hide her delight, picturing Khloe and Charlotte's public humiliation. Eager to
seal the deal, she quickly reached for her phone to call their high school teacher. The phone rang, its beeps
echoing in the silence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe video call connected quickly, and an elderly man with graying hair, wearing a kindly expression, appeared
on the screen.
Jessi greeted him before turning the camera to Charlotte with a smug smile. “Mr. Gray, letintroduce you to
someone.”
Braeden Gray, wearing his reading glasses, looked up slowly. The moment he recognized Charlotte, he let out a
heavy sigh. “It really is you, Charlotte.”
