Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 482:

Conroy fell to his knees with a heavy thud, clasped his hands together, and pleaded desperately, “Please, have mercy on me. I know I was wrong. I was blinded by greed. The biggest mistake I made was hiring someone to assassinate you. I regret everything I’ve done. Please spare me.”

The crowd stared at Conroy, eyes wide in shock and mouths agape with disbelief.

How did Khloe do it?

Conroy was the Mayor.

What did Khloe say to Conroy to make him kneel and apologize publicly, humiliated? He even admitted to his illegal actions without hesitation.

Eric and Clinton were utterly dumbfounded. They looked at Khloe with astonishment.

Eric, in particular, was deeply concerned. Silently, he pondered. If he wanted to win Khloe back, he had to be more cautious. He couldn’t afford to be frivolous or rash.

Conroy ignored the shock and strange expressions of those around him. His life was at stake. Everything else—pride, tricks—no longer mattered. His life was the only thing that mattered to him now.

The only thing he wanted was for Khloe to let him go. He pleaded with desperation, “Miss Evans, please let me go. I’ll do anything if you spare me. Whatever you want, just say it. Do you want money? I can give it to you. Or do you have any other demands?”

He kowtowed, the thud of his forehead hitting the floor echoing throughout the hall. Soon, blood began to ooze from his forehead, but he didn’t care. It was clear he wasn’t just putting on a show—he was genuinely begging for mercy.

Khloe looked at Conroy coldly. If he hadn’t tried to assassinate her in public, she never would have used his intimate photos with his mistress to warn him. After all, his mistress was also a woman, and judging by her age, she had likely been coerced into a relationship with him.

Khloe had always been sympathetic and compassionate toward women.

However, Conroy and those behind him had resorted to underhanded tactics. In this case, she wouldn’t be polite. His despicable actions would never be tolerated.

Her three years in prison had taught her an important lesson: When dealing with evil people, she had to be even more ruthless than they were.

“Withdraw the new regulation, resign from your position, return all your illegal gains with interest, and turn yourself in for the crime of attempting to assassinate me. This way, the Dayton family and your loved ones won’t be implicated,” Khloe said in an unwavering and resolute tone.

Conroy collapsed to the floor. His gaze instinctively darted around the crowd, searching for Artist. However, she was nowhere to be found. She seemed to have vanished into thin air after his attempt to kill Khloe had failed.

Now that his only ally had disappeared, Conroy’s eyes dimmed as a feeling of complete hopelessness washed over him.

Conroy had already experienced Khloe’s methods. She was ruthless and fearsome—more horrifying than Henrik. It was impossible for him to turn the tables now.

Besides, her offer could already be considered merciful. If he tried to negotiate further, he would certainly end up in an even worse situation.noveldrama

Conroy had secured the position of Mayor because he was shrewd enough to understand when to yield. At this moment, he could only lower his head and say, “I agree.”

The crowd watched in disbelief. The once-dignified Mayor was now a broken man, kneeling before Khloe, completely at her mercy. They looked at her with a mixture of admiration for her medical expertise and a deep-seated fear of her power.

In that moment, Khloe was the true authority.
