Winnie hadn\u2019t intervened out of kindness. Earlier, in the restroom, she had overheard Veronica scheming with her\u00a0<\/p>\n
friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She simply couldn\u2019t stand to let Veronica win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2026 And besides, Khloe was Michael\u2019s sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The memory of how protectively Michael had shielded Khloe the night before\u2013as if Winnie were some kind of threat\u2013still stung.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for your help, Miss Olson,\u201d Khloe said softly, \u201cbut\u2026 I think I\u2019ll sit here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Turning back to the table, she pulled out the empty chair and sat down as if it had been hers all along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, who do you think you are? You can\u2019t just sit anywhere you want! Have you no manners at all?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Veronica lost her composure, her voice rising to a shrill pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll admit, I don\u2019t know much about banquet etiquette,\u201d Kloe said evenly, a faint, unruffled smile on her lips, \u201d because this is, in fact, my first time at an event of this caliber.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sheer calm with which she owned the insult left Veronica momentarily speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut,\u201d Khloe continued smoothly, \u201cwhen I arrived, both the organizers and my family reminded me that, as the principal heiress of the Morrison fortune in Goldmont City I am expected to sit at the head table. To do otherwise would be seen as a loss of respect for the family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gestured lightly to the empty place. \u201cThis is the head table, and this seat has no name card. Coincidentally, mine is missing. It seems logical that the organizers reserved this spot for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words were delivered with such quiet authority that even skeptical guests found themselves nodding. The Morrison family\u2019s stature was undeniable, and it gave her every right to claim that seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat makes perfect sense. If there\u2019s no card, let Miss Morrison have the seat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s not wrong. By status alone, this is exactly where she belongs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The shift in the crowd\u2019s murmurs made Veronica\u2019s face darken with fury. The socialites who had been snickering with her moments before fell silent, unwilling to draw Khloe\u2019s ire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before the situation could settle, the banquet manager rushed over, his face pale and beaded with sweat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The team had already been in a panic over the seating blunder. Then, just minutes ago, they had received word- an unexpected, heavyweight guest had arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bowing repeatedly, the manager apologized profusely. \u201cMis Morrison, we\u2019ve prepared another seat for you. Please, allow us to escort you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without waiting for her consent, he placed a name card on the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The card was faced away from Khloe, but Veronica and her friends saw it immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Nick Hunt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone knew\u2013even at the height of their power, the Morrison family\u2019s influence, both domestic and international, paled in comparison to the Hunts\u2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The organizers would rather offend the Morrisons a hundred times over than risk displeasing the Hunts. And certainly not for Khloe\u2013a newcomer, a recently acknowledged illegitimate daughter with no established power base.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, Nick was infamous for avoiding social functions. His unexpected appearance tonight had instantly elevated the entire event\u2019s prestige.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince your oversight left me without a seat,\u201d Khloe replied, her tone still calm, \u201cit seems only fair that I sit where I can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had no desire to make the organizers\u2018 lives harder their panic was evident\u2013but if she backed down now, the humiliation would be entirely hers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the name card, Veronica let out a triumphant, mocking laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, give it up. This seat is far beyond your reach. Stop embarrassing yourself. There\u2019s always a bigger fish. If you don\u2019t move, you\u2019ll be disgracing not just yourself, but the entire Morrison name.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sight of Nick\u2019s name silenced even those who had just spoken in Khloe\u2019s defense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, their eyes held no support, only a cold, eager anticipation\u2013waiting for the show to unfold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Morrison family versus the Hunt family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An illegitimate daughter against a legendary titan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter how this played out, Khloe would be the one left utterly humiliated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
