He had no moral judgments to speak of-what mattered was allegiance. The enemy of his enemy was a friend If Trey could disgust Khloe, Ethan was more than willing to use him, even to ally with him. Yet, the Fox family was unreliable. Ethan had once considered supporting Trey, but the man proved incapable. The crucial point was Khloe\u2019s swift change of affections.<\/p>\n<p>If Trey couldn\u2019t play the emotional card with Khloe, he had no value at all. Now, with Clarice giving full backing to Solara Energy, the aim was simple: bypass Khloe and regain company control. With Angela entering the picture, the situation promised even more drama. If Khloe refused to cooperate with Solara Energy, she would act against Morrison Group\u2019s interests and defy Niel. If she agreed, she would simply gain another enemy. Clarice\u2019s methods were subtle-soft knives.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even if she couldn\u2019t eliminate Khloe entirely, she would ensure Khloe could never \u2014- comfortably operate within Morrison Group Angela and Trey were the bluntest of all the tools. Thinking of it this way, Ethan even felt a twinge of sympathy. Ethan changed his coat and was just about to leave the office when he pulled the door and found Charlotte standing there. Her gaze fixed on him like she was staring at something filthy, a mixture of disgust and disbelief etched into her features \u201cWhat are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>Sneaking around outside the office, eavesdropping?\u201d Ethan\u2019s voice turned cold immediately. Had it been anyone else, he would have been truly irritated. But it was Charlotte, and his patience stretched a little further- especially when he noticed she was holding a thermos. \u201cWhat\u2019s this?\u201d Without waiting for an answer, Ethan reached to take it. Charlotte froze for a moment, then snatched it back. \u201cThis is health tea | brewed myself.\u201d \u201cOh? Just for me? Thank you.\u201d Ethan smiled and tried taking it again. He had helped Christopher handle the school transfer.<\/p>\n<p>On the \u2014- way back, Christopher had thanked him repeatedly, and Ethan casually told him to have Charlotte thank him instead Christopher mentioned that the tea Charlotte made was excellent, and the conversation naturally assigned her the task. Ethan had told Charlotte to brew some health tea as his token of thanks. Of course, Charlotte didn\u2019t want to. The man had already made her massage him once as a thank-you-how could she muster the audacity for a second favor? But in front of Christopher, she couldn\u2019t refuse, so she endured silently. \u201cIt\u2019s not for you.<\/p>\n<p>Someone else made it, and we can\u2019t finish it all.\u201d Charlotte snatched the thermos back again. She wasn\u2019t lying. She hadn\u2019t made this tea herself-how could she possibly have made it for Ethan? Her colleague had experimented with health tea for the first time, using all sorts of ingredients. The taste was awful, and no one drank it. Charlotte had only remembered that Ethan had asked for some, so she brought it along as a half-hearted gesture. She had planned to just hand it over and be done with it, maybe even tease him a little.<\/p>\n<p>But the office door hadn\u2019t been closed, and as she arrived, she overheard Ethan talking about \u201cKhloe.\u201d \u2014- Charlotte knew very well that Ethan\u2019s intentions were never innocent, and anything concerning Khloe would surely be trouble. Anger rising, she no longer cared about pretending, grabbed the thermos, and turned to leave. \u201cStill being shy?\u201d Ethan said, grabbing her wrist. He felt a faint stir of amusement and appreciation. \u201cYou\u2019re really stubborn. Since you\u2019re giving something, be generous. I\u2019m not going to think less of you just because you have feelings for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
