Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 399 "Alright, I give in." Khloe felt she could no longer lie to Nick. Not that she couldn't tell lies-she just couldn't bear the thought of lying to him. "I'm going to see my grandfather," she said, her tone weighed with heaviness. "Henry?" Nick's eyes darkened, a shadow flickering across their depth. Henry Morrison, Niel's father, had been living in Naraida for many years. Rumor had it he hadn't retired abroad for leisure but had stayed away because of long-standing disagreements with Niel. Whispers claimed that even when Niel fell gravely ill, Henry didn't return.

It was only after Niel's passing that he hurried back for the funeral-and apparently, he left on the same day. Khloe nodded. On her way back from the summit earlier, she had received a call from Clarice, who said Henry wanted to see her. Khloe was immediately on guard, but Clarice merely opened the conversation and handed the phone over to Henry himself. It turned out that Clarice had visited Naraida on a business trip and took the opportunity to see Henry, providing a brief update on the Morrison Group.

Since Niel took over, Clarice had annually "checked in" under the guise of visiting, discussing company matters with Henry and occasionally seeking his opinion on decisions. After Niel's passing, this duty naturally fell to Khloe. "I heard he left our country because he and your father, Niel, never got along," Nick said, cutting to the heart of the matter. "You've been back at the Morrison family for a while. Why would he suddenly decide to see you now? 11 Khloe had already learned from Oscar that the two men's management philosophies had always clashed.

Coupled with Niel's rigid, cold temperament-so similar to Henry-the two could never reconcile. Eventually, Henry went to live with his daughter, leaving Niel largely isolated. When Niel passed suddenly, the existence of his illegitimate daughter was news to Henry, just as it was to everyone else. Oscar said that at the funeral, Henry made it clear he was furious at Niel for keeping his illness a secret and leaving such an outrageous will, showing no regard for him as a father. After that, he had little interest in the company's affairs.

In his anger, Henry had once explicitly stated that he didn't want to see Khloe, leaving Oscar and Clarice to handle the company matters. Any mishaps at Morrison Group would be deemed the family's misfortune, not his concern. Still, people age, and grudges soften over time. After several of Oscar's reports that Khloe was capable and impressive, Henry gradually eased his rigid stance. "I'm not entirely sure," Khloe said. "Maybe Clarice said something.

Or perhaps he doesn't entirely trust me to handle the company and wants to see me himself, to test me a little." She had considered it at length. If Henry wanted to meet her, it was ultimately for the company's sake. 1/2 Chapter 399 +25 Bonus Still, Oscar had warned her before: Henry's temper was difficult, and he was not easy to deal with. Khloe couldn't help feeling a little anxious-especially since Clarice had been involved; she worried the old man might have some hidden trap waiting. But this time, Henry had personally invited her, and his tone was polite.

As the granddaughter, it was both reasonable and proper for her to pay him a visit. Khloe had no reason to refuse. "I'll go with you," Nick said.
