Chapter 382
Kalilah tried to flirt her way closer to Pax, hoping to shrink the distance between them. Pax, ever the gentleman, lifted his glass in a polite response. Just as Kalilah was basking in the moment, Pax moved past her and approached Chloe.
With one hand on the back of Chloe's chair, he leaned in and gently clinked his glass against hers, his voice soft and tender, "Chloe, this one's for you."
Chloe felt a bit awkward but still raised her glass and casually met Pax's. He took a sip, then turned his attention back to Kalilah, who was left out in the cold.
Kalilah's face turned sour. Pax watched her with an innocent expression, "Kalilah, there's no bad blood between us. But on the first night of filming, you hid rattlesnake eggs under Chloe's bed, almost causing her to get bitten. I think you owe her an apology. If she forgives you, then we're square." Instantly, Kalilah's face flushed red. She had almost forgotten about that incident, as she had already paid a heavy price for it. She didn't expect it to come up now. Lovebot, which had been hovering nearby, swiftly moved closer, circling above her head non-stop. For the first time since the show started, Kalilah received a close-up shot.
Comments started flooding in:
[Kalilah hid rattlesnake eggs under Chloe's bed? Was she trying to kill Chloe?]

[Kalilah's really malicious. No wonder Pax made her eat snake sashimi. I even bashed Pax online for it.]
[I'm now a guilt-ridden Pax fan.]
[Where's the K-Squad now? Aren't you usually the loudest?]
Kalilah was stunned for a second. Seeing Lovebot, she realized it was all being broadcast live. "Pax, stop slandering me. Do you have any

As long as she didn't admit it, no one could pin it on her.
Pax replied, "Everyone knows the truth. If you weren't guilty, why didn't you refuse when my uncle made you swallow the rattlesnake egg?"
Chloe was surprised. Connor forced

said at the time."
What had he said? He had said that if she didn't eat the rattlesnake egg, she would be disgraced and imprisoned.
Kalilah knew that even if she denied it, she might escape moral judgment, but Connor wouldn't let her off. People of their stature could crush her like an ant.

Kalilah collapsed into a chair, tears streaming down her face, "You don't keep your word. You just want to ruin me."NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
