Chloe smiled, a smile that sent chills down the Rykers‘ spines.
“Kieran, don’t believe her! She’s just a spoiled rich girl using her power!”
“Miss Ryker, do you not know slander is also a crime?”
Kieran’s cold eyes were like a bottomless abyss, freezing everyone nearby.
“Kieran, I only love you! What’s wrong with that? Do I go to jail just for loving you?”
“Loving someone doesn’t give you the right to kill. A poisonous woman like you belongs in prison, not out here.”
Kieran nodded at the officers. “Inside there.”
Sloan turned pale, her voice shaking. “Kieran…”
“Don’t act like we’re close.”
Sloan bit her lip, tears streaming down, but Kieran didn’t spare her a glance.
“Take her away.”
The Rykers panicked as Sloan was dragged off.
“Dad, save me!”
“Sloan!”
“Mom, help me! Please!”
Sloan was taken away, and the chaos ended.
Chloe and Kieran tried to close the door, but Eric blocked it.
“Kieran, our families have always been close. Sloan made a mistake. Please, for our old friendship, let her go.”
“Anyone who tries to kill me will pay. Anyone who tries to hurt Chloe deserves a hundred deaths.”
“But you’re both fine!”
Chloe let out a cold laugh. “We’re fine because we were lucky. Do you expect us to thank Sloan

for trying to murder us?”
“Miss Cross…”
“You’ve wasted my time. Get out.”
Chloe’s cold, authoritative presence was far beyond her age. It crushed Eric completely.
Even as an older man, he trembled under her glare.
“Kieran, come rest.”
“Alright.”
“Mr. Jagger-”
“Did you hear her? Leave.”
The door slammed shut.
“Knox, please beg Kieran for us! Sloan is your cousin!”
Knox stared at his uncle’s family. He felt sorry, but Sloan had destroyed herself.
If he begged, his friendship with Kieran would end forever.
“Even if Kieran lets it go, do you think the Cross family will forgive her for trying to kill Chloe? After what she did–lying in public, slandering Chloe in front of police–do you think she can get away with it?”
Eric and Jennifer nearly collapsed, holding each other up.
“To save the Ryker family, you have to give up on Sloan. Otherwise, everyone will go down.”

“The Cross family can’t control everything!”
“But Sloan broke the law. Cross Group’s legal team alone will destroy her.”
Knox shook his head.
Angering Kieran was one thing. Provoking Chloe was a one–way ticket to hell.
