Chapter 95

Penulis: Tangy Candy
"I heard your engagement party went quite well," Ethan said, "Nick must be very pleased with you, huh?"

It was only a few words, but every one of them carried an edge.

There was an ongoing investment project involving the Hunt Group.

What Ethan was really saying was clear enough—Khloe had gotten ahead thanks to Nick.

Maybe she hadn't relied on the Morrison Group, but if she was leaning on Nick, it still looked bad. Even if that didn't technically break the profit-sharing agreement, people would talk. No one knew whether Nick had simply invested a sum—or had been helping her all along.

"Ethan," Khloe said evenly, "I led my own team and cleaned up your mess fair and square. Not only did I not get a word of thanks, now you're questioning my competence? That's disheartening. Why don't you call Nick and ask him yourself—see whether he invested in the project or in me."

Her calm, deliberate words stripped away the polished veneer of his sarcasm, leaving him momentarily embarrassed.

    These high-salaried department heads had all signed agreements long ago. If Nick wanted to punish them, it would be completely legitimate."Forget it. Writing a reflection just wastes time. Since my wife has spoken, consider this a one-time exception."Nick's voice was calm, and once again, the weight that had been hanging over them lifted gently.So this was the other side of Nick—the side that could be so gentle and tender.Seeing this, Lenny quickly cleared his throat to remind them: if they didn't leave now, it would be truly impolite."Sir, please get a good rest. You and Madam take care and rest well—we'll leave now!""Mrs. Hunt, may everything go smoothly for you, and may you be happy every day!"Before leaving, they made a point of greeting Khloe. Their smiles and well-wishes made it obvious how relieved and happy they felt.Khloe couldn't help but smile to herself.Once everyone had gone, Lenny collected everything from the coffee table, including Nick's work computer

    "Don't move around—careful with your injury." Khloe strode purposefully through the crowd and quickly settled beside him."Why didn't you say you were back?" Nick's voice softened unexpectedly.He brushed off Lenny's support with a wave of his hand, removed his glasses, and reached out, running his fingers over her cheek and through her hair with a practiced tenderness.The change in his expression was so sudden, so utterly oblivious to anyone else, that those around them didn't know where to look. Eyes flicked left and right, at the floor, at the ceiling, before finally sneaking glances at the two of them.So, the rumors about Nick being a doting husband were true.No one had imagined that a man who seemed so cold and detached, seemingly devoid of emotion, could also possess such a gentle side.The oppressive tension that had hung in the air moments ago seemed to vanish entirely, replaced by a heady, almost suffocating sweetness.Despite the worry etched across her face, Khloe

    By early evening, before the sky had fully darkened, Khloe had already returned home.She had come back specifically to keep her promise: to spend time with Nick.He had only been resting for a few days, and already he was restless. Khloe forbade him from going out, but that didn't stop him from handling work online. Every afternoon, their living room transformed into a makeshift conference room, filled with people reporting to him.Khloe knew this and could only turn a blind eye. Her own tasks wouldn't be finished for a few more days, and even if she stayed with Nick all day, it didn't mean he would actually relax.She returned home to find the front door slightly ajar. Instantly alert, she held her breath and slipped inside.Just as she suspected—he was in a meeting.The living room's sofas were flanked by people on either side. Nick himself was hidden among them, his shadow obscured by the crowd. She quietly eased into the throng.The atmosphere was suffocatingly silent. Khlo

    The top figures in Goldmont City's tech industry had already introduced Barney.Before the summit officially began, Khloe had taken the time to scan the companies attending. Solara Energy's background was strong, and its field aligned with her interests.She smiled and extended her hand. "Barney, it's an honor. I've long admired your reputation and hope we'll have a chance to collaborate.""Looks like you stole my line, Khloe," Barney replied with a clear laugh. Behind his sleek glasses, his deep eyes met hers without hesitation.Khloe smiled subtly, taking a business card from her assistant and handing it to him. Barney reciprocated immediately, offering his own card.After a few polite words, Barney suddenly asked, "Khloe… have we met somewhere before?""Not that I recall," Khloe replied, pausing slightly. She couldn't help noticing how direct his gaze was.Prompted by someone nearby, Barney quickly nodded apologetically. "Sorry, it must be a mistake. I don't know why, but see

    "It was just a little conflict! What's wrong with your venue? If you've got the guts to stop us, why don't you call that—Khloe—to deal with us herself?"Alicia had completely lost control and began shouting angrily. Angela, unusually empathizing with her outburst, couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.Why should Khloe's people have the right to make things difficult for them? Khloe—what was she, really? She'd only built a small company on the back of the Fox family and dared to act so arrogant? Could her company even compare to Solara Energy?Angela thought about calling Barney to come get her, but she didn't want him to know about her family troubles. She could only keep arguing her case.But no matter what reasoning she offered, they refused to give an inch. Soon, more than a dozen people came to forcefully escort them out.Lauren had never experienced such humiliation; her face flushed red, and she struggled to breathe.Stella, fearing something might happen, quickly suppo

    It seemed Angela's luck had truly turned. Somehow, she had already secured backing from the nation's elite capital circles.If what Angela said was true, how could the Fox family not leverage Solara Energy's background to make a comeback?Alicia didn't understand much about Solara Energy, but seeing Angela speak with such certainty, she finally fell silent for once."Alright, Angela," Alicia said impatiently. "Since you have access, hurry up and take us in. Stanley's boss is inside waiting for him."Angela pressed her lips together and didn't respond.After a brief pause, she glanced at her watch. "I need to go. My friend is waiting for me inside. Your arrival wasn't part of my plan. I'm not in a position to bring you in."With that, she turned to leave.Stanley grew anxious. He could tell Angela was deliberately putting Lauren in her place."Angela!" Alicia called after her sharply. "Are you really going to turn your back on us like this?""Wasn't it your family who turned th
