Angela’s parents hadn’t known Khloe before, but after the past few days of news coverage, they recognized her immediately. They had intended to plead with her, but faced with Khloe’s overwhelming presence, the words caught in their throats.

They didn’t dare direct their anger at her, so they turned instead on the bodyguards.

“That’s a bit much, don’t you think? Pete was the one who rushed at her. He was only pushed away because of that!”

“A child makes a mistake and gets stopped, and in your eyes, that becomes bullying? It seems this is exactly how you used to indulge and spoil Angela. Since you admit it was your fault all along, now that the consequences have come, why can’t you accept them?”

Khloe’s words instantly drained the color from the two elders’ faces. The pitiful, submissive expressions they had worn moments ago vanished without a trace.

The moment Barney saw Khloe, he struggled upright, emotion surging. “Khloe…”

Realizing they had no ground to stand on, the elderly couple lowered their heads again and even gave Pete a few hurried pats.

“Yes, Khloe, you’re right. We were ignorant. We spoiled our daughter… We’re sorry. Every fault lies with us!

“Pete, hurry and apologize to Khloe!”

Pete was unwilling, his reddened eyes filled with resentment. But under the pressure of his grandparents, he lowered his head and bowed.

“I’m sorry… I was wrong… sniff…”

He sobbed through his apology, but Khloe didn’t even spare him a glance. She walked past the kneeling figures and stopped at Barney’s bedside.

With a slight gesture, she instructed her bodyguard to set the tonics aside.

“Khloe… I thought… you’d never want to see me again…”

“Whether I want to see you again depends on what you choose to do now.”

Khloe’s voice was calm, offering no response to his hopeful emotion.

Barney understood immediately. She likely hadn’t just arrived-otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen that exact moment, when his resolve had wavered, to step in.

“See them out! From now on-whether it’s the company or here-I will not see anyone from the Thompson family again! If they persist, call the police…”

Forcing strength into his weakened body, Barney spoke each word with finality.

The bodyguards didn’t hesitate. They moved in, dragging the three of them out before they could cause further disruption.

Pete’s cries echoed down the corridor, gradually fading into the distance.

Only after they were completely gone did Khloe signal her own bodyguards. They shut the door quietly and withdrew.

Barney’s assistant understood as well and left with the caregiver.

In an instant, only Barney and Khloe remained in the room.

Barney had a thousand things he wanted to say. After waking and learning that he had nearly ruined Khloe’s wedding, regret had consumed him.

Fate could be cruel, but wasn’t all of this the result of his own foolishness?
