Chapter 32\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the banquet, Michael drove her back to the hotel. He had already heard about what had happened during dinner. Nick\u2019s sudden appearance had surprised him too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou handled yourself well tonight,\u201d Michael said, his tone a mix of pride and regret. \u201cThat should be enough to shut some people up. Still, I should\u2019ve taken better care of you. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing to be sorry for,\u201d Khloe said quickly. \u201cI didn\u2019t make too many mistakes this time, and it\u2019s all thanks to you, Michael. Besides, your friend helped me out too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFriend?\u201d Michael blinked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWinnie,\u201d Khloe said. Her long lashes fluttered slightly, and her gaze held a quiet note of curiosity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe it was instinct, but she felt something subtle between Michael and Winnie-something unsaid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, her.\u201d Michael cleared his throat. \u201cShe\u2019s fine, I guess, but I wouldn\u2019t say we\u2019re friends.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way he dodged the topic made it clear enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe didn\u2019t press. She wasn\u2019t the kind of person who pried into things people preferred to keep private.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael shifted the conversation. \u201cIt\u2019s rare for Nick to show up at an event like this. I\u2019d say he came for you. Looks like he\u2019s got a good impression of you-the engagement should be as good as settled.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll handle it,\u201d Khloe said. \u201cBut \u2018good impression\u2019 doesn\u2019t mean much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
An arranged marriage was still an arrangement. Best not to mix feelings into it. And she\u2019d already learned how dangerous a man\u2019s affection could be. Trey had been kind to her once too-at first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back in her room, she changed clothes. For the ball, she chose a red fishtail gown that hugged her waist and moved lightly when she walked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know how to dance, but the last thing she wanted was to embarrass herself in front of Nick. So she found a tutorial on her phone and practiced along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her movements were naturally graceful, and the steps weren\u2019t too hard to follow. After a few tries, she could already move as if she\u2019d done it before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She kept practicing until the start of the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ballroom was dimly lit, half the guests masked, their laughter soft beneath the music. The crowd wasn\u2019t large, but even after a while, Khloe still hadn\u2019t spotted Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t that Khloe? She\u2019s here to dance too? Do you think her partner\u2019s Nick?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The voice came from not far away-one of Veronica\u2019s companions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Veronica was sitting nearby, drinking one glass after another. The moment she heard the name, she turned sharply, eyes narrowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe. Everything\u2019s always about Khloe!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice trembled with drink and anger. The next second, the glass slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor. She stormed straight toward Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cKhloe! What\u2019s going on between you and Nick? Why is he protecting you? Tell me what tricks did you use to seduce him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had been scanning the room when a sudden, harsh tug on her arm jerked her back. Veronica\u2019s voice came crashing over her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVeronica,\u201d Khloe said, her voice cold but steady. \u201cMy relationship with Mr. Hunt isn\u2019t something I owe you an explanation for. Please, have some respect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pulled her arm free and turned to leave, but Veronica\u2019s heel caught on her gown. The sound of fabric tearing broke through the music-a sharp, ugly rip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVeronica,\u201d Khloe snapped, anger flaring in her chest. \u201cI\u2019ve been patient out of courtesy. Don\u2019t push it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she shoved Veronica hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Veronica, unsteady from the alcohol, lost her balance and fell backward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
