Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 432:

The venue was grand, complete with tight security. After confirming their invitations, the staff ushered Khloe and her group inside without issue. As they walked in, a familiar male voice called out from behind Khloe. “Khloe, it’s been a while!”

Khloe stopped in her tracks and turned around quickly, realizing it was Clinton calling her name.

Clinton had a name badge pinned to his shirt, indicating that he was a representative of Glory Pharmaceutical Company.

Wasn’t he from the Watson family? Why was he representing a pharmaceutical company instead of running the family business?

Could it be that the Watson family was once again tangled in an internal power struggle for the heir’s position?

Khloe’s suspicions were right. The Watson family’s once-every-three-years heir evaluation had kicked off once again.

This time, the challenge was to create a new company from the ground up and make it successful. The person whose company made the most profit would claim the title of heir.noveldrama

Clinton had chosen the pharmaceutical field, clearly planning to compete with Eric.

After all, Eric had a similar background, with his expertise also lying in the medical field.

As Clinton walked over, he noticed Khloe eyeing his badge with curiosity. He smiled and explained, “The pharmaceutical industry is where the future’s at. With the right formula, a drug can be on the market in no time. That’s why I’m so excited to dive into it.”

Afterward, Clinton held out his hand to Khloe. “How about we team up? I’ve always been a fan of your cosmetic line.”

Khloe was still in shock, unable to respond, when another man suddenly stepped in, shoving Clinton out of the way. “Clinton, why can’t you leave us alone? Stop bothering Khloe. She was once mine. There’s no way she’d work with you. You’d better give up.”

The newcomer, his face hard with fury and his eyes cold and piercing, was none other than Eric.

Both Clinton and Khloe were left speechless by his sudden arrival. After pushing Clinton aside, Eric quickly softened his tone and turned his attention to Khloe. “Khloe, it’s good to see you. I had a feeling we’d cross paths here at the conference.”

Khloe regained her calm and shot Eric a frosty look. “What game are you playing now?”

Before Khloe could respond to Eric’s words, Clinton interjected, “Eric, as Khloe’s ex-fiancé, how dare you speak so shamelessly? When Khloe ended your engagement, you were the first to attack her. Do you think we’ve all forgotten your disgraceful actions? Now you’re shamelessly trying to win her back. It’s disgusting.”

Eric’s expression darkened as he retorted through clenched teeth, “Clinton, don’t get too comfortable. The heir’s position is mine. You’re only pretending to care for Khloe to gain her favor and use her! Khloe, don’t trust him!”

Khloe listened to their bickering with increasing disgust. “Don’t flatter yourselves. I have no intention of siding with either of you. I refuse to be pulled into your family’s disputes. Take your argument elsewhere!”

Noticing Khloe’s cold demeanor, both men felt a wave of embarrassment. They exchanged a glance and immediately stopped their argument.

Eric had approached Khloe hoping to reconcile, and, seeing an opportunity, he said, “I heard that Oasis Laboratory’s drug application was rejected. You must be troubled, right? Is it because of the new regulation?”

Khloe frowned, surprised at how quickly Eric had obtained the information. She became cautious, pondering how Eric had come by this information and his motives. She looked at Eric sharply. “This is none of your concern. Where did you hear about it?”

With an arrogant tilt of his chin, Eric responded, “I have my sources. Khloe, you’re obviously concerned about this. How about we discuss it over dinner, and I can offer some help?”
