She had effectively inherited her mother\u2019s profession-her mother had been a highly capable pharmaceutical researcher, overseeing countless drug developments and, even on her deathbed, conquering a patented technique that earned worldwide recognition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Winnie lacked her mother\u2019s talent. No matter how hard she worked in school, she never excelled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After graduation, she applied to countless companies in the field, but her abilities weren\u2019t exceptional, and her status as an Olson family heiress often worked against her-most employers refused to hire her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winnie knew the Olsons were deliberately blocking her behind the scenes. They didn\u2019t want her to escape their control; they cut off her paths to success, afraid she might achieve something like her mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, Winnie knew they worried unnecessarily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the incident at the store with Michael and Lindsay, although she hadn\u2019t been formally reprimanded, her career evaluations at the Olson family were essentially zero. At this rate, she would never pass their oversight assessments, and breaking free of their control was impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The invitation from Morrison Group was a perfect solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If she worked there, the Olson family couldn\u2019t interfere. Only then would she stand a chance to pass the evaluations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What Winnie didn\u2019t expect was Khloe\u2019s sudden help.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Khloe called Winnie, she had already contacted the Olson family. The Olsons were practical-they couldn\u2019t afford to offend Morrison Group. Even though Khloe was technically an illegitimate daughter, they still gave her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Given Winnie\u2019s pampered and spoiled personality, she wouldn\u2019t last long at Morrison Group anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If Khloe wanted to help, it could even create trouble for herself\u2014Michael\u2019s example was clear. The family chose to watch quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even with all the justification Khloe offered, Winnie still felt unworthy of such help.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe, however, did not mince words. She set clear conditions: Morrison Group didn\u2019t support idlers. If Winnie failed her three-month probation, she would be asked to leave. If she succeeded, as repayment to the company for nurturing her, Khloe wanted authorization for her mother\u2019s patent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only then did Winnie feel some reassurance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The patent authorization hadn\u2019t yet been obtained from the Olson family, and she wasn\u2019t even certain she could secure it in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Khloe\u2019s calm, matter-of-fact attitude toward her insecurity struck Winnie profoundly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust try. You won\u2019t even try?\u201d Khloe sald simply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those few words sparked the last flicker of Winnie\u2019s pride and fighting spirit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Given the chance, she naturally wanted to try-so long as Khloe remained indifferent and held no expectations\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapte E\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>for her. She couldn\u2019t bear the weight of anyone else\u2019s hopes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Winnie sat in the lobby waiting to be received, Ethan had just arrived at Morrison Group. His eyes immediately landed on her familiar face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had just returned to work today and never expected to see something so unusual.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Why was Winnie here? She was dressed so formally, clearly coming to start a job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinnie?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan greeted lightly, and before Winnie could respond, he had already seated himself beside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019s cologne was strong; Winnie instinctively shifted away, keeping her distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEthan, don\u2019t sit so close.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They weren\u2019t familiar-surely couldn\u2019t be close. They\u2019d only met a few times at various gatherings and business\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>events.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan was naturally sociable. After greeting Veronica, he would always chat casually with her. To Winnie, however, his social nature resembled a butterfly flitting among flowers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had long grown used to Winnie\u2019s coldness and didn\u2019t mind. \u201cWhy are you suddenly at the Morrison Group? Are you here to see someone, or is there something I can help you with?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 358 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 358 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26879\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
