Chapter 247\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick rose and handed Khloe a file.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It contained information on Clarice and Ethan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe operated in the open, they in the shadows-it wasn\u2019t easy to track them. Both had secretive backgrounds and private lives, making any investigation difficult. Even with Nick\u2019s extensive effort, only a small portion had been uncovered, mostly concerning Ethan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clarice was the second daughter of the Davis family. Though favored, she hadn\u2019t inherited many family resources. In the past, she had used various methods to gain more influence within the family, earning the displeasure of many relatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until she partnered with Niel that she gained a foothold in the Morrison Group. Naturally, she wouldn\u2019t relinquish the power she had secured there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan, however, was different. Adopted by Clarice at the age of five, he had been raised closely under her guidance. Most of his dedication to the Morrison Group stemmed from a sense of obligation and gratitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But one detail was particularly noteworthy. Ethan\u2019s biological parents had once been implicated in stealing commercial secrets from the Davis family. Before they could be imprisoned, they suddenly died in a car accident. After their deaths, Clarice personally adopted Ethan and brought him into the Morrison family through marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By logic, Ethan\u2019s parents had only been high-level executives in the Davis family. Although they knew Clarice, they weren\u2019t close. Even if Niel later couldn\u2019t have children due to illness, there would have been no need for Clarice to adopt a five-year-old.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou mean\u2026 Ethan\u2019s parents\u2019 deaths might be connected to Clarice?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was a bombshell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe felt a surge of interest, instinctively leaning closer to Nick. He nodded at her approach, drawing near until his lips were almost brushing hers, and then said, \u201cClarice is someone who never acts without personal gain. The case of Ethan\u2019s parents has no traceable details\u2026 Do you think there might be something\u2026 hidden?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though the topic was serious, his deep, magnetic voice carried a teasing undertone. As his words lingered, Khloe\u2019s gaze dropped to the pronounced line of his throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick suddenly tilted his body, aiming to kiss her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe blinked, holding her breath, and said softly, \u201cI think\u2026 there probably is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes narrowed slightly, breath growing heavier. Her words matched his tone, her flushed face radiating shy allure, delicate and tempting like a ripe fruit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s not our concern\u2026 Ethan himself is thoughtful and perceptive,\u201d Khloe said, sensing him moving closer, her voice growing quieter. \u201cI-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish, Nick\u2019s lips met hers as expected. His kiss was gentle and cautious, brushing her mouth lightly, pausing to tease her lower lip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout the Morrison Group investing in the Fox Group-you didn\u2019t know that yet, did you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even after being flustered and heart racing, Khloe snapped back to reality at his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Morrison Group invested in the Fox Group?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sat up sharply, pressing her hand instinctively against Nick\u2019s chest. He let out a muffled sound, frowning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, did I hurt you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. Your little kitty strength could never hurt me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick caught her hands before she could wander, holding them firmly against his chest. Though there was no\u00a0<\/p>\n
pain, her mischievous touch had brushed a sensitive spot. His cheeks flushed slightly, but he quickly regained composure. After all, even for a man, staying calm around someone he liked was never easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s so petty\u2026 Could it be Ethan and Clarice? Did they invest in Fox Group just to spite me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
