Chapter 99\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick\u2026\u201d Khloe started to explain about Trey, but Nick spoke first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout your personal affairs\u2026 I won\u2019t ask, and I won\u2019t interfere,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we are engaged now. I trust you\u2019ll take care of whatever\u2019s left in the past.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
No interrogation, no demand for details-just quiet composure. It made a small ache rise in Khloe\u2019s chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d thought, given who he was, that he might care about her history, might press her for explanations. But he didn\u2019t ask a single thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 I\u2019ll handle it soon. You have my word,\u201d she said earnestly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, she realized that he truly regarded their engagement with sincerity-that even in his restraint, there was respect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick gave a faint nod, though something unnameable flickered across his mind. He had, of course, looked into her past. Six years with a man wasn\u2019t a short time. Did she still have lingering feelings for Trey?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He tamped down the irritation that threatened to surface and said simply, \u201cIf you need help, don\u2019t hesitate to ask.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe replied gently, \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next morning, Khloe\u2019s first stop at the Morrison Group building was the HR department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her team\u2019s onboarding process had stalled, and her system access remained \u201cpending approval.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When HR told her that final authorization required the shareholders\u2019 response, she immediately understood-it was another one of Ethan\u2019s games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A careful read of the performance agreement revealed an overlooked clause: To take effect only after approval by more than half of the company\u2019s shareholders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In other words, even though she had technically fulfilled her side of the deal, she couldn\u2019t actually assume control until the entire process was complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the direct hires she\u2019d approved-Charlotte and the rest-would only be processed once her access was active.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, with Clarice \u201con medical leave\u201d and half the shareholders conveniently \u201cunreachable,\u201d the timeline had become indefinite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEthan is such a snake,\u201d Charlotte muttered angrily when she found out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe stayed silent for a moment, then let out a smirk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taking revenge on Ethan would be easy. But winning the company\u2019s loyalty-that required patience. This little stunt of his was nothing more than a provocation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what do we do now, Khloe? Just wait?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe exhaled slowly. \u201cIt\u2019s fine. If they want to go through the formal process, then we\u2019ll go through the process.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She immediately called in her assistant and requested a full list of all major shareholders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few hours later, she sent out a company-wide notice-Shareholders\u2019 Meeting: Immediate Assembly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Ethan received the email, he was in a board meeting with senior executives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis\u2026\u201d The higher-ups exchanged puzzled looks, Everyone knew the real power still rested with Clarice and Ethan. Khloe had tried attending shareholder meetings before, only to be ignored completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan, however, smiled faintly. \u201cGentlemen, that\u2019s enough for today. Meeting adjourned.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about the shareholder meeting?\u201d someone asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He straightened his collar with lazy amusement. \u201cGo if you want. I think I\u2019ll drop by myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wanted to see just how many people Khloe could actually get to show up-watch her humiliate herself in\u00a0<\/p>\n
person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan was the first to arrive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The conference hall was nearly empty, except for Khloe and her assistant, seated calmly at the head of the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe,\u201d he said with mock sympathy, \u201cwhy would you put yourself through this? You haven\u2019t even officially taken control. No one\u2019s going to show up to this meeting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did,\u201d Khloe said without looking up, her tone cool and steady.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan smiled, tilting his head, then fell silent. He checked his watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Five minutes. Ten. Twenty. Thirty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe,\u201d he drawled, \u201chow long are you planning to wait? Maybe you should postpone until Clarice recovers. Wouldn\u2019t that make more sense?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
