---- Chapter 575 "Madam, we've got good news." As the call connected, the person inside the car withdrew his arm, rolled up the window, and let out a low chuckle. "Understood." Clarice ended the call and lowered her gaze to the set of photos that had just come in on her phone. Nick had actually arrived in Naraida this quickly. Spence's people had been keeping Nick under constant watch. But with the strict surveillance in Goldmont, there was no chance to make a move. They could only wait for him to leave the city.
Clarice knew very well that as long as Khloe stayed abroad and didn't return home, Nick would eventually lose his patience. It was only a matter of time. Everything was unfolding exactly as she had anticipated. She took a bottle of dry red wine from the cabinet and poured herself half a glass. Before she could savor it, a knock interrupted her. ---- The visitor was one of Henry's people-Delilah. "It's quite late. What is it?" Clarice asked. "Madam Clarice, Master Henry would like to discuss something with you. Please come with me." Delilah lowered her head respectfully.
A faint glimmer flickered in Clarice's eyes, as though she had guessed what this was about. She curved her lips into a smile. Wait a moment. I'll change my clothes." "| want to see Grandpa!" Khloe knocked hard on the door that had been locked from the outside and spoke coldly. Four bodyguards stood guard outside. Hearing her voice, one of them answered immediately, "Miss Khloe, your request has already been reported. If Master Henry wishes to see you, we will escort you to him. It's late now.

Please rest first." Within just a few hours, Khloe had knocked on the door countless times, and every response was the same. After Delilah had bodyguards forcibly escort her back to her room, Khloe's phone lost its signal. Even if it did have service, she suspected it was already being monitored. ---- From the very beginning, they had clearly planned to detain her. If she hadn't been perceptive enough, Henry would have stalled her with one excuse after another. And if she discovered the truth, they would resort to force.
The fact that her plan to return home had been exposed was most likely due to her phone-and her every move-already being under surveillance. But Henry was not like Clarice. He had no desire to seize her inheritance. If he had wanted the Morrison Group, he could have acted long before Niel died. Khloe truly could not understand his motive. Over the past two days, he had publicly acknowledged her status, introduced her to the Dust Capital project, and even had her stand in for the family at the hotel exhibition, connecting her with international elites.
All of this looked more like deliberate grooming-preparing her to take over. From the first day she arrived, he had instructed Delilah to brief her on the remaining business holdings in his hands. When he ---- reminisced with her, every word carried the regret of having no children by his side... For a man like Henry, what he wanted her to feel was precisely his objective. + Khloe was certain of one thing: he did not intend to harm her. "Open the door! If you don't open it, I'll break it down! My health isn't good.
If something happens to me, you'll all be held responsible!" She shouted her threats several times. When there was still no response, she rammed the door hard with her elbow. The pain was excruciating. She quickly turned around, grabbed the quilt from the bed, wrapped it around herself, and began slamming into the door again with brute force. Each impact was louder than the last, each strike more violent than before. The bodyguards outside began to panic, exchanging uneasy glances Finally, one of them couldn't hold back and called out, "Miss ---- Khloe, please don't do this!
You're delicate-if you really get hurt, Master Henry will be heartbroken too..."
