Just then, Khloe's phone rang, snapping her out of her spiraling thoughts. She answered with a few brief responses and headed straight into a meeting.A new product developed by the Morrison Group was about to be launched in the coming days.It was a drug that the R&D team had spent ten years developing and three years testing—an achievement forged from a decade of relentless effort and sacrifice. In the next few days, specialists would arrive to inspect and approve the results, and several international investors would come as well to sign contracts.As the CEO of the Morrison Group, Khloe naturally had to oversee the reception and personally finalize the agreements. The inspections, in particular, could not afford the slightest mistake—they involved corporate confidentiality and drug safety.During the meeting, Khloe did her best to focus, yet her mind wandered again and again.She thought of their parting—of how Nick had held her hand and emphasized calling her three times a day

"I don't want you to fight alone." Charlotte had already made up her mind. "I don't need to get too close to Ethan. Since he still has some interest in me, I can interact with him a little—probe for his weaknesses, gather information… and besides…"She hesitated, ultimately choosing not to bring up her friend's situation. Ethan's emotional debts were despicable enough, but she still needed to protect her friend's dignity."And besides what?" Khloe asked."And besides, I hate him. I want to see him utterly ruined."A sharp edge crept into Charlotte's voice.Khloe's heart jolted. She hadn't realized before that Charlotte had already developed such deep resentment over Ethan's harassment.But she understood. Ethan had gone too far. How could a young girl like Charlotte possibly endure that kind of humiliation?"Charlotte, don't worry. I'll deal with Ethan for you in the future. But someone like him isn't easy to hurt. If you keep entangling yourself with a scumbag, the one who gets

Clarice let out a cold laugh and took a sip of her wine.If Khloe chose to leave the country to find Nick at this moment, it would play perfectly into her hands.But if Khloe ignored Nick's situation, then the Hunt family would naturally grow disappointed in her.Once Khloe lost the Hunt family's support, dealing with her would become even easier.No matter which choice Khloe made, none of them would end well.A chill crept up Ethan's spine, yet he still forced a smile. "Someone as self-assured as Khloe really is no match for you, Mom. I imagine that one day she'll regret not listening to you back then—regret giving up her right to inherit the Morrison Group."Clarice exhaled slowly and cast Ethan a sidelong glance. "Go get some rest.""Alright."Ethan lowered his head and withdrew from the room. Once outside, the smile on his face gradually faded.Once again, Khloe's words echoed in his mind.Why would someone like Clarice have adopted him without reason?…At the same tim

"If you're not satisfied yet, I can still find a way to make Lindsay suffer a bit more…" Clarice said."Clarice," Oscar said, sensing something off. "I don't care about the Starr family. What I want is Michael back first.""Oscar, I've already sent people to handle the negotiations in Naraida. Anyone who dares threaten us won't end well. Why should we even give them the face? Don't you agree?"Clarice's words made Oscar freeze.He felt like he'd just been played.Clarice could have easily dealt with the Starr family and saved Michael from Naraida—one word from her would have sufficed. But she hadn't done that. Instead, she went straight at the Starr family.This wasn't helping—it was stirring up trouble.Yet… in a way, she was venting on Michael's behalf, protecting the Morrison family's face. He couldn't really blame her.Still, Michael's situation would have to wait for her next move."Clarice, we both know each other well. What exactly are you trying to do? Threaten me?" Os

Clarice's plan to target Khloe was an open secret in the circle, and Winnie knew it all too well.Oscar had only agreed to comply with Clarice's demands for Khloe's sake.Though Winnie had no friends—and couldn't even count Khloe as one—she had always remembered kindness shown to her, never letting it go unpaid.Besides, Khloe was Michael's cousin.Winnie understood Michael well: he valued family harmony above all. If it were him, he would never do anything that might harm someone else's interests, no matter the personal cost."What do you intend to do?"Seeing that Winnie wasn't joking, Oscar's expression darkened."Just give me three days. I'll save Michael."Winnie didn't answer directly. Her eyes dimmed briefly as she said goodbye to Oscar, then turned and hurried away.…In the dead of night, at the southwest border, the airport.Fresh off the plane, Khloe immediately sent updates and calls to Lenny. He hadn't expected her to know the situation and could only report the
