Chapter 264 Ethan was momentarily taken aback by Khloe's words. "Khloe... so you knew all along that Fox Group was cooperating with our company?" Khloe drew a soft breath and turned to face him again, stepping lightly to stand before him. A faint smile tugged at her lips. "There are so many corporate deals every day. I don't have time to track every single project," she said lightly, her words carrying an edge. "But I must admit, I've admired your relentless spirit-you never stop monitoring me, Ethan." Her tone was laced with subtle sarcasm.
Then she pulled out her phone, tapped a few times, and sent him a file. Hearing the notification, Ethan glanced at the screen. The color drained from his face instantly. "Khloe... you investigated me?" "It's mutual," she replied calmly, offering no denial. Today, Khloe had decided to confront him head-on. As someone from the Morrison family herself, and seeing his years of hard work in the company, she didn't want to seem petty. But Ethan's endless little schemes had pushed her beyond tolerance. Ethan served as Clarice's enforcer.
Though the evidence Khloe had uncovered were minor, harmless details, digging deeper could escalate matters and destabilize his position within Morrison Group. His face paled further. This information could not have come from Khloe alone-it had to involve the Hunt family. He lifted his gaze, forcing a calm smile as he regarded her. "Khloe, you really think such petty tricks can affect me? Without the Hunt family, you're nothing." "Even without the Hunt family, I'm still Niel's daughter.

And Nick is my husband-relying on the Hunt family isn't wrong," Khloe said evenly, unaffected by his provocation. "But, you..." she paused slightly, her voice dropping. "...do you really think you can rely on your mother, Clarice?" Ethan remained silent, sensing that she had more to say. "You've been with Clarice so long-surely you know her 'use and discard' style by now?" Khloe spoke plainly. A flicker of disdain crossed Ethan's eyes. "Khloe... are you trying to sow discord?" He chuckled faintly. He was always the one manipulating others.
Never had someone tried such a clumsy maneuver in front of him. He rubbed his nose and studied her with newfound interest. "I'm just concerned for you, Ethan," she continued, lifting her chin, her tone blunt and piercing. "We grew up the same way-without parental care. "Your parents originally worked under Clarice's family. Later, when her family left the family business, your parents were reported, investigated, and found guilty. Soon after, they died in a car accident. And then... Clarice adopted you." 1/2 Chapter 264 +25 Bonus "Khloe...
why are you telling me this?" Though Ethan had always been cautious around her, hearing this hit him like an earthquake. He had been very young when Clarice adopted him. He knew his parents had died in a car accident, but was unaware of the details. Over the years, Clarice had carefully guided him, ensuring he never suffered even the slightest injustice within the Morrison family or the company. From childhood, he had seen her not only as a mother but as a mentor, his sole guide and authority.
Even with his sharp mind and awareness of her cold, calculating nature, he had willingly allowed himself to be used. After all, the business world is a battlefield-without sacrifice and exploitation, one cannot achieve greatness.
