NovelEnglishChapter 650: Harold turned to Morris, his eyes wide with urgency and his voice heavy with pleading. "Father, Eric made mistakes, and he should be punished. But everything he did was for the glory of the Watson family! He's your grandson. Please, ask Khloe to show him mercy." Morris hesitated, understanding Henrik and Khloe's resolve. The desperation in his son's pleas tugged at his heart, softening his stern expression. His voice was sorrowful as he looked at Henrik and Khloe. "Khloe, Henrik..." Before he could finish, Clinton's voice cut through the tension. "What Eric did wrong goes far beyond falsifying data or causing innocent deaths. He worked with outsiders and plotted to kill Uncle Henrik." The room erupted in chaos as his words hung heavy in the air.

Of course, you can't tolerate him, but how dare you throw around such accusations? We're family! Why must we tear each other apart?" Eric's composure faltered for a brief moment, his expression betraying a flash of panic. Quickly, he masked his emotions, forcing himself to remain calm. He needed to see how Clinton would substantiate his claims.
Khloe, however, remained unfazed. Her expression was serene, as if the scene before her were nothing more than an expected performance. "I'm not making baseless accusations. I have evidence." Without hesitation, Clinton retrieved a USB drive and connected it to the projector.

"Grandpa..." Eric's voice faltered, his eyes widening in disbelief. Yet, as his gaze met Morris' cold, unforgiving expression, the glimmer of hope within him faded. It was clear-Morris would not intervene on his behalf.
Eric's chest tightened with despair as he shifted his eyes to Khloe, whose indifferent stare only deepened his sense of loss. A bitter laugh escaped his lips as he finally admitted defeat. "I choose the first option."
If he chose to let Khloe and Henrik handle this privately, they might not truly do anything to him for Morris' sake. However, he didn't dare to m gamble. After all, Henri was a madman Prison, on the other hand, offered a safer alternative. With the Watson family's influence, he could negotiate better conditions. Good behavior could shorten his sentence, and even if Henrik and Khloe opposed his release, they wouldn't be able to block it indefinitely. Once free, he could leverage his Watson family nto rebuild his life.
Henrik and Khloe exchanged a knowing glance. Eric's naivety was almost laughable. If they had then power to send him to prison, they certainly wouldn't allow him the luxury of exploiting the Watson family's resources. They would make Eric experience tenfold the hardships Khloe had endured.
