Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 393:

Henrik sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, resigned to the fact that Morris had left him no choice. “Alright, I’ll bring her to visit you.”

“Huh, that’s more like it,” Morris grunted in approval. “And listen, don’t go causing trouble outside. Keep your temper under control and stop with all the fighting.”

“Killing. Most importantly, don’t drag Khloe’s career into this mess. I hear you’re getting involved in the congressional elections. People are watching you closely.”

Henrik’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Eric. “I get it. I’ll take care of Khloe’s matters. You don’t need to worry.”

With that, he ended the call, his eyes narrowing as he shot Eric a final, intense look. The murderous edge in his stare softened. He understood that killing Eric now would not only defy Morris’ wishes but also cause unnecessary complications for Khloe.noveldrama

Given that he was near Zhecrora University, Henrik couldn’t afford to let Khloe get dragged into any mess. For her sake, he decided to hold back his darker impulses—for now.

After considering it, Henrik shot Eric a chilling look. “Leave now, and don’t even think about her again.”

Eric scrambled away in a panic, feeling as though he had narrowly escaped death. As Henrik’s car disappeared from view, he dropped to the ground, breathless. His eyes remained fixed on the fading car, his emotions a tangled mix of fear, jealousy, and bitterness, which soon hardened into a deep, burning hatred.

“Henrik, humiliate me like this, and I’ll make sure you regret it!”

Meanwhile, unaware of the brewing conflict outside, Khloe arrived at her first class at Zhecrora University, as the email had instructed.

She had opted for the medical department, the same field as Eric and Sloane, but her class was far from ordinary. It was the prestigious elite class, home to a collection of exceptional talents.

When Khloe entered the classroom, the large space fell silent for a brief moment before whispers rippled through the room. Every eye was on her. From the front of the room, a haughty and scornful female voice rang out. “So you’re the one who got in through special admission? I thought you were supposed to be a genius, but you’re just some pretty face from the entertainment world. I can’t believe the professors and directors were foolish enough to let you in.”

The young woman who spoke had an ordinary face but a haughty expression. After all, she was one of the most exceptional talents in the elite class. Her name was Polly Walsh.

Polly was a genius, highly regarded by both professors and the school. Naturally, she enjoyed the spotlight and the admiration of many. However, Khloe had recently stolen her thunder.

Be it the honor student exam or the National Biopharmaceutical Competition, Khloe’s name was frequently discussed in academia’s upper echelons, which made Polly very dissatisfied.

Polly didn’t believe an ex-convict actress like Khloe had any real skills. Khloe might have some talents, but Polly didn’t think she could surpass her. She didn’t understand why these professors and academic elites valued Khloe so highly.

Polly crossed her arms over her chest and looked Khloe up and down with disdain. It was as if she was scrutinizing a lowly creature. The corners of her mouth curved into a disdainful smirk.

“This place doesn’t suit you. Your true calling is the entertainment industry, where looks are everything. You are nothing but a pretty face. Do you think being beautiful is enough for you to belong to our class? Do you think participating in a few competitions gives you the right to swagger here? Dream on!”

Dina’s voice cut through the tense air in the silent classroom. It was like a blade, sharp and dripping with disdain, attempting to shred Khloe’s dignity.

All the students around them began whispering to each other, looking at Khloe skeptically, their gazes piercing like needles.
