Chapter 231 After Michelle was discharged, she immediately posted a V-log online, letting her fans and concerned strangers know she was safe. The reaction was explosive. Messages poured in, urging her to return to the entertainment industry. The media storm that had seemed to settle surged back to life. This time, Michelle went live herself, announcing that she was ready to relaunch her career-not in entertainment, but in her specialty: journalism. She intended to focus on public-interest reporting and charity interviews.
The Keller family already collaborated with multiple foundations, so several nonprofit projects quickly reached out. Overnight, Michelle's follower count skyrocketed by hundreds of thousands. Watching her livestream, Ethan's eyes curved with a hint of amusement. Indeed, a woman building a career exuded a far greater charm. Michelle wasn't completely naïve-this calculated display of vulnerability had been painful, but it won both Nick's and the public's sympathy, yielding impressive results. Ethan promptly called Clarice to report the situation.
The man who attacked Khloe was no longer a threat, and Nick was already involved in the investigation. But no matter how thorough Nick's inquiries, he could never trace it back to Clarice and Ethan. That man not only hated Niel, but had been one of Clarice's long-time admirers. Ethan only needed to subtly convey her predicament, and the man would willingly act foolishly. Human nature-people always go crazy for what they cannot have. From this point on, Keller family projects would fall into the hands of Ethan and Clarice, leaving Khloe effectively at odds with the Keller family.

The Morrison family's pharmaceutical empire controlled the lifeblood of Goldmont City's economy; offending the Keller family seemed minor, but Ethan knew better. Behind them stood various foundations, wielding influence comparable to the government's. Clarice and Ethan operated differently. She preferred direct force, while Ethan was patient and strategic, calculating every move like a predator waiting for the perfect moment. Handling delicate "family affairs," his approach was far more suited.
After ending the call with Clarice, Ethan opened his laptop and saw the encrypted email from Fox Group sent yesterday. Since his investment, many of their projects had been revitalized. Fox Group, showing great tact, had offered their strategic project, eager for deep involvement from the Morrison Group. A sardonic smirk curved Ethan's lips. He barely glanced at the project proposal before sending an invitation for a meeting. He imagined Khloe seeing her old flame in the company-her expression would be priceless. Trey had been bedridden with a fever all day.
By evening, the headache had eased just enough for him to sit up. The bedroom was dark and silent; he could even hear the faint ticking of the clock. The stillness made him feel a pang of loneliness. Trey had always struggled with headaches. In the past, Khloe would stay by his side the entire time, tending to him. Upon waking, he could always see her, whether she was resting or working-but simply having her there gave him comfort. 1/2 Chapter 231 +25 Bonus "Feeling any better? Want to go to the hospital?
Here, eat something first, then take your medicine." For a brief, almost surreal moment, Khloe's voice and presence seemed to appear before him. "Khloe..." Trey furrowed his brows, his voice low. He reached out to touch her, only to find the space in front of him empty. "Who are you calling?" A footstep approached, and Angela's voice entered. She'd overheard Trey calling out and suspected he wasn't calling for her. "I want some water," he said coldly, without looking at her. Angela carried his dinner, prepared separately by the servants as a meal for his illness.
Still fuming, she set the tray aside and turned to leave without another word.
