" " Another major project just fell through . The client insists they'll only work with Khloe . " The words lodged in his throat like a stone .

As the new majority shareholder of Morrison Pharmaceuticals , she was en route to a prestigious international charity gala in a neighboring country . The event's guest list was notoriously exclusive - a who's who of global magnates and Fortune 500 leaders . A true power summit . In previous years , Niel and Clarice , along with their son Ethan , had always attended .

But with Khloe inheriting Niel entire stake , the invitation was formally addressed to her . In a fit of pique , Clarice had refused to go . Ethan , following his mother's lead , had declined as well . Their boycott was a very public snub , signaling that Khloe was an unwelcome outsider in the Morrison family . This left her in a precarious position . For someone who needed to build her network and establish authority within Morrison Pharmaceuticals , it was a glaring vulnerability .

So Oscar had decided to escort her personally , determined to ensure she made a powerful entrance and silence the gossip about the " illegitimate daughter .

He patiently walked her through the gala's agenda , the custom gown waiting for her , and even reviewed the draft of her speech , explaining every detail with precision . 1 His phone buzzed constantly with urgent work calls , but he would merely glance at the screen , silence it , and return his full focus to her .
