FreeGoodNovelChapter 55 Chapter 55: "You're free to leave now," Henrik said in a tone as calm as ever. "And don't breathe a word about today's events to anyone." At the news that they could leave, palpable relief washed over the group, and they fled in a hurry, terrified of remaining a moment longer in Henrik's presence.
The core crew of "Peaks of Eternity" remained behind, their bodies shaking with fear as they turned their fearful gazes to Henrik.
Elwood, soaked in sweat and trembling with panic, shifted his desperate gaze to Khloe, his eyes begging her to step in. Khloe couldn't help but feel powerless. Did they seriously think she had any sway over Henrik? Did they think she was here to put out the flames of Henrik's fury? The tension in the room was suffocating. Forcing down her own fear, Khloe reached out and gently tugged on Henrik's sleeve.

Tess let out an audible sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward, eager to defuse the tension. "Everything's fine now. We're all on the sside, right? How about I take everyone out for a meal?

The second round was a ploy to push her limits and a silent protest against the investor's meddling. Remembering his actions, Elwood wished the ground would swallow him whole.
Bowing his head in genuine remorse, he said, “Miss Evans, I truly apologize. I admit I gave you a hard tbefore. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgiveand move on." His current humility was worlds apart from the cocky director they had all known earlier.
Khloe was itching to ask what on earth Henrik had done to reduce Elwood to such a state, as though he'd seen the devil himself.
But as she caught sight of the sheer terror on Elwood's face, she gave him a reassuring nod. "It's fine. I understand your dedication to the craft. I hold no grudges." She turned to Henrik, giving his hand a light squeeze. "And Henrik? He won't hold it against you either. It's just work; he's fair." Elwood's eyes brimmed with relief, as though he were on the verge of tears.
