She had heard that the current executive president of Morrison Group was indeed the Morrison heiress, though quite a number of the Morrison family members held posts within the company. Niel\u2019s adopted son was apparently one of the top executives. The man in front of her was most likely him. \u201ci\u2019s me. I\u2019m Ethan Morrison, Vice President of the Morrison Group.\u201d As Ethan shook Angela\u2019s hand, his gaze flicked subtly toward Trey.<\/p>\n<p>Trey said modestly, \u201cEthan, don\u2019t pull my leg, will you? The Fox Group no longer exists in Goldmont.\u201d He had once thought he was dealing with the Morrison heiress. Only after learning that Khloe was the heiress of the Morrison family did he realize that the person who had wanted to invest in the Fox Group wasn\u2019t her at all. Trey understood immediately-Ethan was the one behind the investment in the Fox family. \u2014- He had done some research on the Morrison family. Niel\u2019s adopted son had entered the family through marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Follow new episodes on the ebookcrush.Com<\/p>\n<p>Public records showed that Niel had left nearly all of his inheritance to his biological daughter. Anyone could see that Ethan and Khloe were unlikely to be close. The fact that Ethan had invested in the Fox family right under Khloe\u2019s nose only confirmed his suspicion. Unfortunately, an adopted son could never truly rival a biological child. Otherwise, the Fox Group wouldn\u2019t have declared bankruptcy and liquidation so quickly. But Trey had come to terms with it. Lowering his stance wasn\u2019t such a bad thing. At least now, they no longer had to be blindsided, at the mercy of some unknown force.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be disheartened, Trey. Life is full of ups and downs. Even the mighty Morrison Group may not remain so ten years from now. Isn\u2019t that right?\u201d Ethan offered the remark lightly, a hint of reassurance in his tone, then gestured for everyone to take their seats. Trey observed Ethan carefully, expression calm. \u201cEthan, will it just be the three of us for dinner today?\u201d \u201cYes. Forgive the modest hospitality. After tomorrow\u2019s signing, we\u2019ll celebrate properly.\u201d Ethan smiled faintly. \u2014- It was clear he already knew Khloe\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<p>From the moment he entered the room, he noticed the difference in Angela and Trey\u2019s gazes. Angela looked at Ethan with curiosity and delight, but Trey\u2019s gaze carried only a flicker of disappointment. Even knowing that Khloe would never let them off easily, Trey had shown up here. That alone made the man intriguing. Ethan didn\u2019t bother with Trey\u2019s thoughts. Completing the task assigned by Clarice was all that mattered; then he could rest. Trey said no more, and Ethan replied politely, engaging in some small talk with Angela. They exchanged a few compliments, and dishes began to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>But halfway through the meal, Ethan\u2019s phone rang. His expression darkened as he answered. \u201cWhat is it? Something happened?\u201d Trey immediately noticed the change and put down his fork. His focus had never been on the meal anyway. Ethan smiled faintly. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing-just a personal matter.\u201d \u201cIf it\u2019s urgent, please attend to it. You\u2019ve already treated us very generously today,\u201d Trey said. Angela nodded in agreement. \u201cYes, Ethan. Please don\u2019t worry \u2014- about us.\u201d Ethan insisted it was fine, yet for the rest of the dinner, his mind remained elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>When the meal finally concluded and farewells were exchanged, he drove straight to Charlotte\u2019s house. The bodyguards had just called to report that Charlotte had been forcibly taken.<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
