Chapter 228\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back home, Khloe received a call from her assistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man who had attacked her had already been interrogated. It turned out he had once been on the brink of bankruptcy after Niel\u2019s critique of one of his company projects. His wife, overworking to save the company, had died from the strain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He blamed Niel for everything-and upon learning that Khloe was Niel\u2019s daughter, he had been waiting for the perfect chance to exact revenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone like that, left unchecked, is a threat to society.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s voice was calm, almost casual, yet the cold intensity lurking beneath it sent a chill down the spine. Without hesitation, he called Lenny and gave the terse instruction to \u201chandle him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s words were always measured, but the ruthlessness in his eyes left no doubt. Even Khloe could feel a shiver at the lethal decisiveness he could summon when he chose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think someone might be behind that man?\u201d Khloe asked after a moment\u2019s thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s gaze darkened immediately. \u201cYou mean Clarice?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Khloe replied, nodding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although it was just her conjecture, Clarice\u2019s targeting of her had been far too obvious. And no matter how successful the man\u2019s business was, how could he have even appeared at the Morrison family banquet-or known Khloe\u2019s plans for the evening?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The answer was clear, and Nick\u2019s expression turned grim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there\u2019s no proof. If they were going to do this, they wouldn\u2019t leave any trace. Clarice and Ethan are clearly playing a shadow game against me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe felt a wave of unease. She was used to handling threats with soft tactics, not force. But Clarice\u2019s methods were cunning, unpredictable\u2014and she worried about the people around her getting caught in the crossfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever dares to set their sights on you is asking for death,\u201d Nick said, his gaze sharp and deep. After a brief pause, he added, \u201cLeave the Morrison family to me. Don\u2019t try to bear it yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe looked at him. Though his words sounded casual, she knew that once Nick decided to act, he wouldn\u2019t hold back. Feeling someone care this fiercely warmed her heart completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, but\u2026\u201d Khloe softened her expression, a faint curve to her lips, \u201cthis is my battlefield. They\u2019re coming for me it\u2019s only right I settle it myself. And your dad was right: your family shouldn\u2019t meddle in my private matters that might disrupt business ties. The Hunt Group shouldn\u2019t be dragged into the Morrison family feud. Clarice and Ethan must have skeletons in their closet. Can I borrow your intelligence network?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Nick understood she already had a plan. He personally preferred direct, decisive action\u2014 sometimes extreme measures were necessary to protect someone fully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet Khloe was his wife, and he respected her absolutely. He would not allow anyone in his family to judge or impede her. Even if he wasn\u2019t afraid of George, Khloe must remain untouchable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFine. I\u2019ll follow your lead. But from this moment, your security must be heightened\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lifted a hand gently, tilting her chin up, closing the space between their eyes. His tone shifted, soft yet dangerously intimate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do I strengthen it?\u201d Khloe asked, her gaze dropping along the line of his throat, her cheeks flushing pink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026Constant reporting. Twenty-four-hour contact.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s low voice pressed against her ear, warm and heavy with breath, teasingly intimate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t be able to breathe like this,\u201d she murmured, already struggling for air simply from being so close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not negotiable, Mrs. Hunt. It\u2019s an order.\u201d His voice deepened, pressing over her neck like a scorching kiss. \u201cUnderstand?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe tilted her eyes toward him, meeting his smoldering gaze with a playful glint. \u201cNick, your possessiveness is terrifying. Are you afraid I\u2019ll run, or that you won\u2019t be able to protect me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
