Chapter 383:
Khloe wasn't the type to let emotions cloud her decisions.
Besides, she had already resolved not to let Sloane face jail so easily. Once locked up, getting revenge would
becmore difficult. But if Sloane was free, she had more options to deal with her.
Thinking quickly, Khloe responded in a calm tone, “Alright, | trust you'll make it up tofairly.” Whitney cast a
long, thoughtful glance at Khloe, impressed by her quick thinking and logical approach.
Khloe had quickly figured out that she wouldn't let Sloane back out of the competition so easily. It was an insight
that reminded her of Henrik. Whitney nodded, her voice low. “I owe you a favor.”
At this, Khloe's eyes brightened, and she flashed a playful wink at Whitney. “Well, that works out for me. Guess |

Whitney couldn’t help but shake her head. Khloe truly was sharp. After today, Whitney had a clearer picture of
Khloe—rational, calm, and unafraid to seek revenge when necessary.
It seemed that the video she'd seen of Khloe bragging about using Henrik was nothing more than words. In
today’s events, Khloe was the clear victim, yet she was willing to back down for the sake of her bond with
Henrik. It was clear she held him in high regard.
Whitney took a moment to think, and her respect for Khloe grew even more, though her face remained
impassive. With a reluctant sigh, she instructed Sloane to let go, then addressed the room. “Oasis Laboratory
wins this round. The judges will decide Illusion Laboratory’s fate later. For now, everyone else, please continue
with the competition.”
Sloane was escorted out by the staff as the competition carried on, ultimately determining the ten research labs
that would make it to the finals.
Oasis Laboratory claimed the top spot.
After the intense round of events, Khloe, Charlotte, and Sylvie stepped outside to catch their breath. They all
exhaled deeply, relieved that the tension had finally eased.

“Finally, it's over. What a day,” Charlotte said, usually so composed, but even she couldn't hide the exhaustion.
Sylvie nodded in agreement. “Exactly! When Khloe said she’d poisoned Sloane, | thought we were done for.”
“You've all worked hard. I'll give you all a week off to recharge.” Khloe let out a light laugh.
“It wasn’t hard. You're the one who's got it tough now. Your fiancé is here to pick you up,” Charlotte teased with
a raised eyebrow.
Khloe spun around suddenly, and there, standing under a streetlamp not far away, was Henrik, dressed in a
camel coat. As their eyes met, he offered a warm, captivating smile.

It was the kind of smile that felt almost unreal, like something out of a dream.
Khloe’s heart skipped a beat as she caught sight of Henrik’s warm smile. Embarrassed by her reaction, she cast
a quick glance at Charlotte before deciding to walk to him. But he was already making his way over to her.
“What are you doing here? Weren't you going to wait forto come?” Khloe asked, lifting her gaze to meet
Henrik’s penetrating eyes.
“I couldn't sit back knowing something happened to you during the competition,” Henrik said, tapping her nose
with a smile. “Is it so bad that | cto pick up my fiancée?”
“Wow, Khloe, Mr. Watson really knows how to take care of you,” Sylvie teased as she and Charlotte joined them.
Charlotte bumped Khloe lightly with her shoulder before addressing Henrik with a playful grin. “Of course, you
had to cfor her. Khloe’s had a rough day—you’d better take good care of her.”
“Of course,” Henrik replied with a smile. “You all did great today. There's a nearby hotel | own, and since you
must be exhausted, I've booked a presidential suite for you. Someone will take you there so you can get some
proper rest.”
