FreeGoodNovelChapter 72 Chapter 72: Sloane's body stiffened, confusion clouding her eyes. "What do you mean, Mom? Are you saying Harold protected her not because I was caught framing Khloe?" Lorraine's patience snapped. "That old fox wouldn't embarrass you just because of spetty scandal. You're engaged to his son now. Making you look bad benefits no one, least of all the Watson family, especially on a live stream." A cold glint flashed in Lorraine's eyes. Harold had ignored Khloe's wrongful imprisonment back then, so there must be another reason for his sudden support.
It was likely that Khloe held something that piqued his interest.
Lorraine shared her suspicions with Sloane, her voice laced with cold calculation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What do we do now?" Sloane's beautiful face twisted with a mix of resentment and jealousy as she listened to Lorraine's words. "Why does she always get so lucky? I've done everything to ruin her, to isolate her, and yet she always manages to cout on top. I won't let her win this time!" In a fit of rage, Sloane started hurling objects around the room.
Lorraine remained unshaken, her voice cold as ice. "Breaking things won't help. We need a strategy, something that will turn this around. If you win Eric's heart, Khloe will be nothing more than a shadow in the background." Her eyes narrowed as she reached for a medical kit beside the bed. Gripping Sloane's arm tightly, she continued, "We need to deal with Khloe, and I have a plan.” Soon, word of Sloane's severe injuries and her refusal to see a doctor reached Eric.
He was desperate to go to her, but his father's advice to focus on Khloe stayed in his mind.
Though he knew he should distance himself from Sloane, the memory of her gentle and understanding nature made it hard to ignore her. He hesitated for a while.
Finally, his compassion for Sloane won out, and he stepped out with a determined look.
As Eric approached the Evans family, he overheard Sloane's soft, pained sobs from inside.
"Mom, I've been awful. I shouldn't have treated Khloe like that. I was wrong! I don't know what got into me. When I saw how beautiful she was, I panicked, thinking Eric would fall for her again and forget all about me. I couldn't help it; I was so jealous!" Her voice was filled with remorse and an overwhelming love for Eric.
Lorraine's voice followed, filled with frustration. "Sloane, don't blyourself. What you did to Khloe's necklace was wrong, yes, but that's just an object. You're a living person. Look at what Khloe did to you-she nearly crippled you! I'll make sure your father hears about this." "No, Mom, it's my fault. Khloe must have changed so much after everything she went through in prison." "Silly girl, you're still worried about her! But what about her? She doesn't see you as family in the slightest." Eric's heart tightened. Sloane truly was kind-hearted. If she hadn't loved him so deeply, she never would have acted so out of character towards Khloe.

More voices echoed from within.
"Mom, don't blKhloe. Her situation is so hard, She's, not only struggling with Karl, but there's another man too. My assistant saw them together. I don't want Khloe to put herself in a position like this." Eric's mind reeled in shock. His blood ran cold.
With a surge of anger, he pushed же open the door. "Aside from Kalm Khloe's with another man? Who is he?"
Eric's shout shattered the silence, his face twisted in fury, his breath m ve coming in jagged gasps. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
