Chapter 283
Chapter 283:
“This involves a senator. The best we can do is shut down Deep Blue and send Hancock to prison. But Bain? He's
the mastermind, and he'll still walk free, facing no consequences,” Khloe said, her voice heavy with sorrow.
Henrik’s expression softened as he wrapped his arms around Khloe, patting her back. “Don’t be upset. | promise
to get justice for them.”
“You mean it?”
Henrik placed his hands on her shoulders. “We have Hancock's account book and transaction records. These are
strong pieces of evidence. I'll use them to ensure Bain is removed from power and lands in jail.”
“You're not allowed to take that back!” Khloe’s head shot up at his words. While tears lingered in her eyes, the
sadness had vanished completely.
That was when it hit Henrik—he had been outsmarted by Khloe.
Watching the sly smile play across Khloe’s face, he felt both amused and exasperated. He tapped her nose

As if I'd ever just stand by and ignore it.”
“Offending a senator is no small thing. | know you're capable, but if it's too much, | won't push you,” Khloe
replied with a sweet smile. “But from the way you're talking, it seems like you're ready to take Bain down, so I'll
stop worrying.”
At her words, Henrik fixed Khloe with a long, thoughtful gaze.
Khloe’s sharp insight into the hidden threads behind the situation was far deeper than he had expected.
“You've got a point. Your determination to get involved in Celeste’s case actually worked out in my favor.” Henrik
gave a small nod, choosing to say nothing further. Khloe’'s pragmatic side kept her from prying further. Politics
was far murkier and more complex than most matters, and knowing that Hancock and Bain would face
consequences was enough for her.
Regarding the Evans family, Khloe was ready to make them pay dearly, leaving Sloane tossing and turning in
restless nights of torment. The thought brought a mischievous glint to Khloe’s eyes.

“I might be able to help you get rid of Bain.”
Henrik arched a brow as he looked at her, his heart skipping a beat at the spark of determination in her gaze.
Seeing Khloe so full of energy was incredibly captivating.
The following day, Jaxon continued his smear campaign, posting relentlessly about Khloe and sharing so-called
evidence of Celeste’s blackmail. With others amplifying his posts, online opinion turned overwhelmingly hostile
against both Khloe and Celeste.
Sloane scrolled through the hateful comments on her phone, her lips curling into a smug smile. Watching Celeste
and Khloe get dragged through the mud brought her a deep sense of satisfaction. Khloe had always been a thorn
in her side, and seeing her struggle like this was a delight.
“Huh! You're a nobody, Khloe!”
Just as Sloane was basking in her smugness, her phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. She
answered hesitantly, only to hear a cold yet melodious voice on the other end.
“Sloane, you've had quite the tusing Jaxon to trash my nonline, haven't you?”
Sloane's confident grin vanished instantly, her face turning a sickly shade of pale. She hadn't expected the call

swept through Sloane.
She fumbled for words. “Khloe, you've got it all wrong. I've been in the hospital, recovering from my injuries, and
I only just found out about everything.”
Khloe’s laugh was cold and mocking. “You really thought you could cover your tracks? Sloane, you're too naive.
Do you really think Henrik’s network would miss your little games? Should | remind you how you paid Jaxon half
a million to smear me? Or maybe | should ask Henrik to handle this for me?”
