“I hope you won’t let me down, Chloe You’re the only friend Thave, after all,” Belle said, lightly tracing Chloe’s cheek with her fingers. It was merely a harmless touch, vet it exaded an underlying threat.
Chloe nodded fearfully, saying, “I won’t let you down, helle. I would never even think of taking anything that belongs to you. You can have whatever you want, and Iwouldn’t even glance at anything you don’t want.”
In that instant, Chloe quickly reassured Belle of her loyalty, stifling any other fanciful thoughts of hers.
Upon hearing that, Belle nodded slightly with satisfaction and said, “It’s good that you think that way, Chloe. You don’t need to stay with me today. You can go meet up with Faith instead. You’re longtime friends, after all You can probably try to ease things between us.
“You ser, Faith, being so naive and land–hearted, is easily deceived. I bet she must be feeling upset after she saw me going in for a hug with Kyle earlier–and I’m certain of it after hearing what she said after that. You should go console her, and while you’re there, don’t forget to appraise the ‘Snow White Love‘ jewelry set as
of
Having said that, Belle took a seat and had a sip of water, satisfaction radiating from within as she believed everything was unfolding according to her plan.
She then added, “Although he might be somewhat repulsive, Henderson is still quite useful. I mean, everyone will believe whatever he says about Heavens‘ Jewel, especially considering the fact that he is the heir of the Khan family.”
Chloe suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, “Do you think Mr. Khan might take an interest in Faith if he meets her? I mean, with a woman like Faith, I doubt Mr. Khan would let go of her so easily.”
Upon hearing that, Belle shrugged indifferently and replied, “It’s none of my business. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to let Faith go through some hardship, though. It’s fine as long as she leams her lesson and makes Kyle regret his choices. You can take care of the rest as you see fit!
Having said her piece, Bella dismissed C
Chlor with a wave of her hand.
Chloe faintly nodded her head in understanding before walking out of the office. Yet, as she stood outside the office door, Chloe’s eyes were filled with a smoldering rage, thinking that she would never ever forget what had happened earlier!
to Kyle’s place
Meanwhile, Henderson was sitting in the car, making his way to k
Upon seeing the aggrieved look on Justin’s face, Henderson snarled, “How come you can’t even handle a nobody like him? How pathetic!”
justin immediately burst into tears, exclaiming, “You know I’d do anything for you, Mr. Khan! I would even put my life on the line for you if that’s what it takes to get the job done. You ought to know that Kyle’s pure evil–be actually did us dirty and drugged all of us!
“I don’t even know what happened back then. You see, before we could even figure out what happened, two of our bodyguards were out cold, and the rest of us were left completely paralyzed.

“And you won’t believe this, Mr. Khan! I merely slammed my hand on his table, and he actually insisted that I grovel on the floor and apologize to insult, not just to me but to you as well!”
Upon seeing Justin bawling his eyes out, Henderson slapped him across the face and snapped, “What the hell, man? You’re a grown–ass man! Why are you weeping like a baby? You shouldn’t have even returned here! You should have just died right there and then. What an embarrassment!”
Having said that, Henderson fully believed Justin. He knew that Justin wouldn’t be bold enough to try and pull one over on him, after all. He then narrowed his eyes and asked, “You mean to tell me that you didn’t even realize that you had been dragged? And you were so incapacitated that you couldn’t even get on your feet?” Justin nodded fervently in response, saying, “I’m telling the truth, Mr. Khan! You can confirm my story with the other guys who came along with me!”
A flicker of uncertainty crossed Henderson’s face, but it was quickly replaced by a sinister grin. “How intriguing. It seems like this mission won’t be so boring after all. It might even tum qui to be more fun than I thought. ”
Justin couldn’t help but feel somewhat apprehensive. It was one thing for Kyle to
to treat him in such a manner, but it Henderson were to be treated similarly, the
latter definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against the former.
In the end, Hendenon would most likely take his anger out on them. It would no longer be a matter of inere disgrace–it would likely end with them being brutally killed by Hende non-
Ared with that in mind, justin said thoughtfully, “I think y before you start questioning him. You wouldn’t want to risk getting drugged by Kyle, right?”
t you should reconsider heading there, Mr. Khan. You should probably have someone else tough up Kyle first
Upreti brating that, Henderson instintively wanted to and in agreement. Yet, he suddenly hesitated before shaking his head, saying, “I’m sure he wouldn’t dare to act against me. And ture lee’s the one calling the uver, I’m sute haar’s not happy with the deal I guess he’s using this opportunity to lure me out
