GoodNovelChapter 311
Chapter 311:
Ashton’s voice cout strained and tight, his teeth clenched as he spoke. “Mr. Watson, | admit we were in the
wrong to begin with. I'm willing to offer Miss Evans significant compensation, but please, let's not push this any
further.”
Ultimately, he couldn't bring himself to have Baylee apologize.
Khloe sighed inwardly. No wonder Baylee had dared to cause such a scene at the banquet; her father had always
spoiled her.
Henrik glanced at Khloe and then said, “Mr. Douglas, you're well aware of how I handle things. If | need to take
matters into my own hands, an apology won't be enough.”
Henrik’s voice was calm and measured, but the tension in his words was so sharp that Baylee felt a cold sweat
break out on her skin, unable to stop the rising panic.
“How dare you!” Ashton growled, his anger bubbling just beneath the surface, ready to explode.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust then, a woman in a wheelchair appeared from the back hall of the banquet, stopping the conflict before it
could start. “Ashton, enough!”
The room fell silent as everyone turned to look. The woman in the wheelchair had gray hair and a simple face—
nothing that would draw attention.
But the moment Ashton laid eyes on her, his expression softened instantly. He rushed towards her. “Izabella,
what are you doing out here? You're not well, and it’s too loud for you.”
Izabella Douglas, Ashton’s wife, dismissed his concerns with a wave before turning her stern gaze on Baylee.
“Baylee, | know exactly what's happening, and you are to blame. Kneel and offer a heartfelt apology to Miss
Evans.”
“What! Mom! You can’t be serious!” Baylee’s eyes widened in shock. She had never imagined her mother would
demand such a humiliating apology.
Izabella’s gaze remained unwavering. “Baylee, when you mess up, you have to own it. What you did today was
unacceptable, and you need to apologize to Miss Evans.”

The onlookers were stunned, thinking Izabella had completely lost her sense of reason.
Even if they feared Henrik’s strength, kneeling to apologize was too much. What they didn’t realize was that the
one who scared Izabella wasn’t Henrik, but Khloe.
She saw something in Khloe, something that reminded her of a famous doctor with almost legendary skills,
someone she had been searching for years.
If Khloe was linked to that person, she was a much greater threat to the Douglas family than Henrik ever could
be.
While Izabella’s instincts about Khloe might not be completely right, her sharp intuition and intelligence told her
not to take any chances.
Even though she was sick and unable to walk, Izabella had always trusted her sharp instincts and strategic mind
to protect the Douglas family, advising Ashton behind the scenes and helping him achieve the powerful position
he was in now.
This was one of the reasons Ashton held Izabella in such high regard, beyond just their marriage—her
levelheadedness and strength went far beyond his own.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Izabella’s instincts were screaming at her, warning that Khloe, despite her youth, should not be
taken lightly.
Beneath Khloe’'s striking appearance was an aura of deadly power, far more frightening than Henrik’s feared
presence.
Izabella’s instincts were right on the mark.
Khloe wouldn't let Baylee get away with what she had done, especially after nearly costing her life today. After
surviving prison, she had set a rule for herself—never forgive anyone who tried to hurt her.
If Henrik had let it slide for the sake of Ashton’s vote, Khloe might have pretended to let Baylee off the hook, but
she already had a plan in motion.
