Chapter 313:
Yet, how could this be?
Despite her being engaged to Henrik and having his robust support behind her, Khloe was, after all, simply a
young and attractive woman. On the other hand, Izabella was recognized for her shrewdness and influence. She
was far from a pushover; in fact, she was a savvy and powerful force, known to cause trouble for many who
dared challenge her.
All eyes turned to Khloe, each face a canvas of suspicion and wonder. The crowd was at a loss, unable to
decipher what about this seemingly ordinary young woman had Izabella so on edge.
Murmurs filled the room, suggesting that perhaps Khloe was not as unassuming as she appeared. To have
becengaged to Henrik, she likely had hidden depths or remarkable qualities. Seven guessed she might

behind the Douglas family, might have surmised. Those whispering were inching closer to understanding the

Still, the true extent of Izabella’s fears remained a mystery to them.
Khloe, perceiving the respect Izabella accorded her, felt a spark of curiosity herself.
Izabella was known for her pride and strength, yet here she was, making concessions.
Could there be something about her that Izabella found absolutely crucial?
Khloe briefly considered this but quickly refocused on the matter at hand about Baylee’s apology and her
response to it.
Initially inclined to be strict with Baylee, the earnestness in Izabella’s eyes reminded Khloe of her mother, stirring
an uncommon empathy within her.
Observing Izabella’s deeply humble posture, Khloe said to Baylee, “You aimed for my life, which is not something
I should easily forgive. However, your mother has demonstrated shrewd judgment in interceding on your behalf.
Slap yourself and proclaim yourself a bitch thrice, and we will consider the affair settled.”

The blood drained from Baylee’s face, leaving it ghostly pale. Her eyes widened with a mixture of humiliation
and fury. She never expected Khloe to make such an outrageous demand. All she wanted now was to curse
Khloe.
Izabella breathed a sigh of relief and said to her daughter, “Did you hear that? Do what Miss Evans said. Now!”
“Mom, how can you say that?” Baylee stared at her mother in disbelief. She was so aggrieved that her body
trembled slightly.
However, the determination in Izabella’s eyes made it clear she had no other choice. Finally, she slowly raised
her hand and slapped herself hard.
The crisp slap echoed in the air. Everyone looked at her, stunned and silent.
Baylee felt so humiliated that tears welled up in her eyes. But she swallowed her pride and gave herself two
more hard slaps.
“I'm a bitch!” Baylee’s words cout in a broken sob, laden with pain.
“I'm a bitch!” she repeated, her voice cracking.
“I'm a bitch.”
After saying those words three times in front of everyone, Baylee could no longer withstand the mocking stares

Izabella couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt and helplessness; her daughter endured such humiliation.
But she had no choice, knowing it was the only solution to the current situation. She looked at Khloe with eyes
filled with gratitude. “Thank you for your magnanimity, Miss Evans.”
When the other guests saw this scene, they started talking incessantly.
“What is wrong with Izabella today? Isn't she known for being a ruthless woman? How can she let her daughter
be humiliated? She even thanked the person who embarrassed her daughter. It’s so strange.”
