Chapter 1017

Everything looked normal.

But that feeling of being watched still lingered.

The bodyguard crouched beside the elderly woman and forced the pill into her mouth. The woman convulsed and struggled weakly before finally managing to swallow it.

Nearby, her assistant was still on the phone, calling for an ambulance, speaking quickly in accented French.

Khloe watched the scene unfold, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, ‘Too coincidental.’

The moment she stepped out, the old woman had an episode. The moment she tried to approach, she was stopped by the bodyguard. Everything seemed perfectly logical, seamlessly arranged.

Khloe’s heart sank slightly.

She nodded and turned toward the vehicle.

The moment she turned, someone brushed past her shoulder and bumped into her.

She whipped around instantly. A man in black was walking away quickly, not looking back.
