GoodNovelChapter 318
Chapter 318:
“I don’t understand why Henrik would pick someone so beneath him as his fiancée.”
The voices around them grew increasingly bitter, and Ashton’s gaze turned to Khloe, filled with mounting fury. If
not for Izabella’s earlier suspicions about Khloe’s possible link to Magician, Ashton would have already thrown
her out.
With his anger barely contained, Ashton lost all faith in Khloe’s advice. He turned to Sheri, saying, “Sheri, | trust
you with my wife. Whatever you need, just tell me, and I'll make it happen.”
Realizing Ashton had made his choice, Khloe closed her eyes for a moment, stepped back, and allowed Izabella
to be tended to.
As Sheri passed Khloe, she whispered, “Khloe, you won't beat me.”
The voice was barely audible, and when Khloe frowned and glanced over, Sheri was already by Izabella’s side,
carefully inspecting her with her own medical kit. She radiated elegance, embodying the grace of a refined
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtheiress—gentle, poised, and completely composed, with none of the sharpness she had shown Khloe moments
before.
But Khloe was now convinced that Sheri’s appearance at the party had been strategically aimed at her.
But why? She had never met Sheri before and had no prior issues with her while abroad.
Could this be about Henrik?
After sthought, Khloe could only conclude that Henrik was the reason. He was always surrounded by
admirers.
Khloe decided she would talk to Henrik later, but her main focus now was to monitor Izabella’s condition. She
was also intrigued as to why Sheri was so certain in her approach to treating Izabella. Was it because of Sheri’s
exceptional skills, or had she prepared for this all along?
Sheri had already brought her medical kit and sspecialized tools for the treatment. Without bothering to
clear the room, she began administering treatment right away.
The urgency of the situation could explain her quick actions, but as Khloe observed her preparing the
medication, every precise and graceful move made her feel strange. The way Sheri carried out the treatment felt
more like a performance than a medical procedure.
In reality, Khloe’s instincts were nearly spot-on. Sheri’s presence that day was part of a carefully staged act. It
was a trap she had spent an entire month setting up—a schdesigned with one sole purpose: to target Khloe.
Sheri had been aware of Izabella’s blood disorder for a while. To exploit this, she bribed someone to tamper with
the birthday candles, adding a substance that would trigger Izabella’s rare condition. As soon as Izabella became
ill, Sheri had a plan in place, allowing her to treat Izabella and, in turn, win the support and vote of the Douglas
family.
Even more so, Sheri saw an opportunity to publicly humiliate Khloe, displaying her own competence and
compassion in front of Henrik, leaving Khloe in the shadows.
Sheri retrieved the medicine from her kit and began preparing it before the onlookers. Her actions were
seamless, a sign of her thorough preparation.
“Everyone, watch closely. This is how a true professional behaves. Unlike someone who has no qualifications but
still tried to take control.”
“Sheri is truly an angel. No one can compare to her, especially those who are just looking for attention.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Thank goodness Izabella has Sheri to save her. If those other meddlers had their way, the outcwould have
been catastrophic.”
A few onlookers admired Sheri’s actions but also took the chance to mock Khloe, hoping to gain favor with Sheri.
“Keep quiet, or you might just lose your tongues.”
Henrik’s icy command cut through the mocking chatter. His sharp gaze swept over the crowd, instantly silencing
them, leaving a chill in the air that made everyone uneasy. Sheri, too, heard his protective words. His rare
sternness took her by surprise.
