Chapter 198\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe didn\u2019t react. Winnie had always been like this. She could tell that Winnie\u2019s expression had shifted the moment Michael appeared. Winnie cared deeply about him-so seeing herself in this state under his gaze must have stung.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not speaking for you,\u201d Khloe said softly, \u201cbut today is my dinner, and as the host, it\u2019s my responsibility to mediate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she stepped in front of Winnie, gently shielding her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWinnie, can you give me a little face and let me help you change into something dry?\u201d Khloe\u2019s calm, gentle tone left Winnie with little room to argue. She nodded slightly, eager to get out of the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Khloe taking charge, Mr. and Mrs. Olson naturally held their tongues. But Veronica was relentless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe slapped me and just walks away? What am I supposed to do about the humiliation? Khloe, don\u2019t you think siding with Winnie like this is bullying?\u201d Her voice trembled, the words coming through tears, while a crowd had gathered around to watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From the onlookers\u2019 perspective, the one who\u2019d been slapped seemed weaker. No one had seen Veronica pour juice on Winnie earlier, but everyone had witnessed Winnie arguing back with her father. Veronica was seizing the moment, trying to make Winnie look bad, and by extension, Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Veronica turning her frustration on Khloe, Khloe\u2019s calmness drew another figure in-Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The instant he stepped forward, Veronica\u2019s eyes lit up with hope-but just as quickly, her expression sank, her eyebrows knitting into a pitiful line. How could Nick have shown up just as Khloe arrived? She had come today precisely because she\u2019d heard his family would be there, hoping to see him\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were hit, she was splashed. Isn\u2019t that even? How is that bullying?\u201d Nick\u2019s voice was cool, measured, and it ran straight through Veronica, sending a shiver down her spine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Nick and the Hunt family step in, the crowd instinctively parted. The Olson parents\u2019 authority seemed to evaporate. Veronica\u2019s mother gently pulled her daughter back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, Veronica. Winnie is still your sister. A little clash is normal-you understand, don\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Veronica opened her mouth, still wanting to protest-but her gaze fell on Nick, sharp as a hawk, and she faltered. Her anger and pride froze into silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo this is how you handle your daughters? No fairness, only emotion. And today is the Morrison family dinner. As a guest, creating such a scene-it\u2019s rather disrespectful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Veronica stayed quiet, but Nick\u2019s eyes didn\u2019t leave Mr. Olson. The man\u2019s face paled; he hadn\u2019t expected an outsider to intervene in his household affairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone around was surprised. Nick was well-known in business circles for his cold, detached temperament. He had no friends and no enemies in the market-he never took sides, let alone defended a woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words carried weight like a decree. Anyone he opposed would struggle, no matter their wealth or influence. And now, for the first time, he was protecting someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, Nick,\u201d Mr. Olson said quickly. \u201cI got carried away and neglected the issues between my daughters. This is entirely my fault.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick didn\u2019t respond. He walked to Khloe\u2019s side and leaned in to whisper something quietly. Then he summoned\u00a0<\/p>\n

his people to escort Khloe and Winnie to the car so she could change.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta joined in, accompanying Khloe with ease. She had prepared two sets of dresses for this exact possibility, and now they were needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching the Hunt family escort Winnie away, Veronica and her parents drained of color, realizing the balance of power had shifted completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
