"If Sloane can't explain, Eric, don't you think it's tyou apologized to Khloe for disrupting the set and damaging her reputation based on unfounded gossip?"

Embarrassed and defeated, Eric shook off Sloane's hand from his arm and walked away without a second glance. Sloane called after him in a panic, but he didn't stop. Just as she was about to chase after him, Karl stepped in her path.
Sloane's eyes widened in fear as she turned to face him, only to find herself locked in Khloe's cold, unforgiving stare. "Sloane, where do you think you're going? We're not done here." Sloane stared at Khloe, her eyes wide with fear, her voice shaking. “Khloe, I swear, I didn't know anything." Khloe let out a frosty laugh. "Didn't know? You plotted to ruin me, spread lies, and tarnish my name. And now you expectto just accept that you 'didn't know' and move on?" Those nearby shot Sloane disapproving looks, their disdain evident.
"Things did get out of hand. After the banquet, my mother and I talked about your necklace. We were concerned you might have been tricked by someone, which is why Eric misunderstood," Sloane said, her voice softening as her expression turned to one of delicate vulnerability. "Khloe, whatever the case, this is on me. If you're still upset, I'll take whatever punishment you think is fair, as long as it helps you feel better."

She knew all too well how masterful Sloane was at dodging accountability.
"Fine. You accidentally ruined my necklace at the banquet. Today you provoked Eric into causing a scene at the launch-another misunderstanding, I'm sure. But tell me, was kissing Eric in the garden back then also a misunderstanding? Because last I checked, he was still my fiancé at the time."

These were no ordinary onlookers; they were key players from major media and entertainment firms. Without a solid explanation, Sloane knew she wouldn't walk away unscathed.
Gritting her teeth, Sloane took a shaky step forward, her voice quivering with emotion. "Khloe, I know Eric was drunk back then, and I never meant to why you've held a grudge all these to you I understand years, and I'm truly sorry. You refused to cback hbecause you thought I was stopping you from being with Eric. I promise, if you forgive me, I won't go near Eric again, and I'll end the engagement with him. Please stop being angry, and don't hurt yourself by staying out like this. Just chwith me."
