Chapter 41:
Laura lifted her hand and brushed Khloe’s hair, a small, relieved smile appearing on her face. “Khloe, I trust you. But the road
ahead won’t be simple. You need to stay cautious.”
Khloe bit down on her lip, her gaze unwavering and resolute. She nodded firmly. “Mom, trust me. You’ll see them fall. In the
meantime, keep pretending to be unconscious. If you need anything or have to step out, reach out to the people I’ve assigned to
you. I’m afraid Joshua might go as far as trying to harm you.”
“Alright, I’ll do as you say. Go and handle what you must. I’m here for you,” Laura agreed with a nod.
After a brief pause, Khloe added, “Mom, I’ll need your help with something. I’m planning to go back to university for my
classes...”
An hour later, Khloe stepped out of the ward. Her face was calm and unreadable, betraying no hint of the emotions she had just
felt. She got into the car and directed the driver towards Tess’s office. The moment she walked into the office, Tess greeted her
warmly. “You’re here. Take a seat.”
Then, she opened a desk drawer, pulled out a pile of photos, and set them on the table in front of Khloe. “Have a look.”
Khloe’s eyes fell on the photos, and to her shock, they depicted Eric cornering her against the wall at the hospital, capturing the
compromising scene in detail.
Khloe glanced at the photos on the table, looking completely unfazed. She lifted her gaze to meet Tess’s, her voice calm and
unbothered. “Did these photos come from the paparazzi?”
A flicker of surprise sparked in Tess’s eyes; she hadn’t expected Khloe to be so direct and perceptive. She nodded, a hint of
hesitation in her reply. “Yes. Since I already announced your collaboration with Starshine Entertainment, the paparazzi were
quick to follow up. As soon as they snapped these, they came straight to me for a payout.”
Khloe scoffed softly, her tone icy. “Don’t. Let the paparazzi post them. Someone else will handle the cost.”
The words caught Tess off-guard, leaving her briefly stunned. Khloe’s approach was like that of a seasoned pro, not a novice. If
anyone should be panicking about these photos going public, it was Sloane, who had secured quite a few deals in the industry
thanks to her status as Eric’s girlfriend.

Once, Khloe and Eric had been the perfect couple, admired by everyone around them. His recent attempt to reconnect clearly
signaled he wasn’t over her. Khloe’s calm refusal was only natural, but her composure in the face of such a surprise—with no
Such steely control was something Tess had only ever seen in Henrik; it was as if he and Khloe were cut from the same rare
cloth.
Tess quickly pulled out a stack of papers and handed them to Khloe. “These are the production teams available for collaboration.
I’ve included all the top people in the industry. Now that our budget has increased, you can choose anyone you want.”
When “Peaks of Eternity” was first released, Khloe’s work had won major awards domestically and internationally, turning her
into a legend overnight. Tess knew that they had to shoot for the stars now; “Peaks of Eternity” needed to be nothing short of
extraordinary, carrying forward the success of the original novel. Who better than Khloe, the author herself, to bring these
beloved characters to life once more?
Khloe took the documents over and started thumbing through the pages.
The warm afternoon light streamed through the window, casting a gentle glow across her skin. Her complexion was so smooth
and luminous in the sunlight that it almost seemed to radiate warmth. Tess was so enraptured that she felt an urge to capture the
moment in a photo. As the head of an entertainment company, she had seen her fair share of beauties, but Khloe—with her
serene poise and exceptional talent—was a rare gem indeed. No wonder Henrik, even knowing the troubles surrounding her,
couldn’t resist being drawn to her.
Suddenly, Khloe paused, her fingers frozen on the last page of the stack of documents. “None of these will do. Not one.”
