"If you still wish to be with him, then travel abroad, stay out of the limelight for stime, and you can reunite with Henrik upon your return." Sheri looked at Whitney, bewildered and slightly suspicious, saying, "Mom, what are you implying?" Whitney explained slowly, "Once you're gone, Khloe will becthe test subject. She'll be injected with a drug that induces genetic breakdown. During that period, Khloe and I will collaborate to develop an antidote. Once it's ready, Henrik will be safe. As for Khloe, it's her honor to contribute to significant medical research." Whitney articulated the last part as though it were a noble sacrifice, as if she herself were ready to make such a sacrifice.
Meanwhile, Khloe and Henrik had just left the Watson family's residence when Alan approached them, saying, "Mr. Watson, Miss Evans, Whitney Dayton is sending her daughter overseas." At this news, Khloe and Henrik exchanged knowing looks, a mutual understanding apparent. Khloe murmured, "It looks like Whitney is making her move." "Yes," Henrik responded, his voice taking on a cooler edge. "Now, let's see what her next step is." Khloe smiled and said, "Whitney probably thinks we're oblivious.

I'll ensure she's fully exposed, revealing her true nature to everyone!" The day following Khloe and Henrik's decision to go along with Whitney's plans, Whitney extended an invitation to Khloe. Whitney had previously shared gene technology with Khloe, but Khloe had yet to visit the Dayton family's research facility. Therefore, Whitney planned to take her there.
Khloe didn't immediately accept the invitation. Instead, she claimed she was preoccupied with other engagements and would need stime. To make her excuse seem more plausible, she attended various banquets with Henrik and even traveled abroad to participate in an international symposium.

As soon as Henrik and Khloe spotted Whitney, they concealed their true feelings and feigned great surprise. Henrik asked, "Aunt Whitney, what brings you to the airport?"
Whitney turned to Khloe and said, "I'm here concerning the gene technology. I'd like Khloe to visit the lab personally the issue remains critical, and resolving it quickly could benefit many, including members of the Dayton family. Khloe, let's not delay further. Shall we go now?"
