Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss - Chapter 556

Chapter 556:

“Disgusting doesn’t even begin to describe her.”

“I finally see her for what she is—a selfish opportunist, hiding behind her so-called honesty to serve her own agenda. Ugh.”

Back at the scene, Khloe stood unmoved, arms folded, her expression sharp as glass. She broke the silence with a cool, biting, “Okay.”

Giuliana’s heart leapt, but she masked her relief with a haughty smirk. “I knew you wouldn’t dare—”

Before Giuliana could finish, Khloe cut her off. “The treatment fee is twenty million.”

The words hit Giuliana like a slap. Her face twisted in disbelief before anger took over. “Twenty million? Have you lost your mind?”

Khloe remained unruffled, her tone laced with mockery. “What’s the matter? You want my help, but you don’t want to pay?”

Caught off guard, Giuliana froze momentarily, panic rippling across her face. She quickly masked it with indignation, gritting her teeth as she accused Khloe of extortion. “It’s not that I won’t pay, but you’re being ridiculous! Twenty million for some handiwork? Helping with treatment? That’s daylight robbery!”

Khloe’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer. “Then why don’t you try your own handiwork and save yourself the twenty million?”

Giuliana’s anger surged, her glare as piercing as knives. “Just because you have some medical skills doesn’t mean you’re untouchable! Does that give you the right to overcharge? To turn a blind eye to someone in need? No matter what, we’re teammates. Aren’t you worried about the backlash you’ll get for behaving like this?”

Her voice grew steadier, her indignation bolstered by a sense of righteousness.

In the live broadcast, Giuliana’s fans were quick to rally behind her. “Khloe is taking advantage of someone in crisis! Medical skills without ethics—she’s unfit to help anyone!”

“That’s right! Giuliana is being exploited! Poor her for meeting such a selfish person.”

But not everyone sympathized. Khloe’s supporters fired back. “Khloe’s medical skills are just one of her talents—she’s not a doctor. She owes Giuliana nothing!”

“Those insulting Khloe should look in the mirror. Do you even have a fraction of her skills? Pathetic.”

“Giuliana is nothing but an entitled ingrate, and her fans are no better! Honestly, they’re all just disgusting!”

Amid the chaos, Khloe remained unshaken. Her expression was icy as she delivered her ultimatum. “Twenty million is the price. Take it or leave it. If you don’t want treatment, don’t waste my time.”

Giuliana’s face burned with humiliation and anger, her composure slipping. She wanted to lash out further, but the searing pain in her throat was a brutal reminder—she couldn’t afford to stall any longer.

As Khloe turned to leave, Giuliana’s resolve cracked. Desperation clawed at her, and she shouted through gritted teeth, “Fine! I’ll pay. Just treat me!”

Khloe arched an eyebrow, her voice steady and detached. “While there are plenty of online viewers as witnesses, I don’t trust your character. Your reputation precedes you. You’ve played this game before—begging for help, only to deny everything and shift the blame. I’m not falling for it again.”

Her pointed words struck Giuliana like a whip, leaving her red-faced and trembling with rage.

Giuliana wanted nothing more than to storm away, but her career hung in the balance. Gritting her teeth, she hissed, “Then what do you want?”

Khloe laid out her terms. “We’ll sign a contract. The show’s legal team will act as a third party. It will clearly state that you owe twenty million for the treatment, and this amount must be transferred to my account within one hour of the show’s end. If you’re even a minute late, it’ll be considered a breach of contract, and you’ll owe me ten times the amount as compensation. If you agree, we’ll sign now.”
