FreeGoodNovelChapter 105 Chapter 105: All that pent-up anger found a single target—Khloe. In his mind, everything was her fault.
Dorothy, unwilling to back down, cried out. "Eric, you have to defend me! Khloe hauled us to the police station. Do you know how humiliating that was?" Eric, usually protective of Dorothy, snapped. "Enough! Shut up!" Dorothy froze, her mouth slightly open in shock. She hadn't anticipated such a sharp rebuke from Eric, and her tears fell harder.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Eric, you've changed. You're Sloane's fiancé, but here you are defending Khloe. Do you still have feelings for her? Who matters more to you-her or me?" Dorothy was relentless, her tear-streaked face painting her as the ultimate victim.
Eric sighed heavily. Seeing her in such a state, he couldn't bring himself to continue scolding her.
He and Dorothy had grown up side by side and shared a bond that felt as close as that of real siblings.
While she was a little spoiled, he believed she was good-natured and wouldn't take things too far.
In his eyes, the whole incident of "bullying" Khloe was just a few harsh words exchanged in the heat of the moment. But Khloe had escalated things by involving the police, terrifying both Dorothy and Sloane. That was crossing the line.
"Khloe, all they did was tease you. Did you really have to call the police? They're young. Did you want to terrify them with the threat of criminal charges? Do you realize this could leave them with permanent records? If this blows up in the media, I swear you'll regret it.” Eric advanced, his tone cutting. "I'm sick of your antics, Khloe! Why can't you take a page from Sloane? She's gentle and understanding. You're just stubborn and impossible!" Khloe gave her watch a quick glance, calculating that Henrik should be pulling up any minute now.

Khloe had humiliated him in front of everyone.
Just three years ago, he had been the one Khloe loved, the man who had the right to intervene in her life at any moment. But now, to her, was he truly nothing more than a stranger? Dorothy, frustrated beyond measure, stomped her foot and gave Sloane a quick, pointed gesture to speak up. Sloane had been waiting in the background, planning for Eric to strike first and lash out at Khloe on her behalf. As Eric's fury reached its boiling point, Sloane seized her chance, stepping forward to grab Khloe's hand. "Khloe, I know I'm to blfor all of this. Please don't fight with Eric. He's only concerned about you. If you're angry, take it out on me. But don't make it harder for our classmates. Please, Khloe, drop the lawsuit!"
She had once done everything she could to separate Khloe from Eric, but never in her wildest dreams did she think that after succeeding, Khloe wouldn't beg for reconciliation. Instead, Khloe had discarded Eric as if he were nothing more than unwanted baggage. What stung her even more was that after their breakup, Khloe only grew more radiant and more successful.
Someone had even lavished a fortune on a necklace for Khloe, and to add insult to injury, Khloe had taken the lead role that had been meant for her.
Now, to keep Eric from falling back into Khloe's orbit, she had to destroy whatever remained of their relationship. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
