Chapter 101
As expected, when the vote began, Khloe received unanimous support. Her permissions were activated on the spot, and her appointment was officially communicated to everyone.
By the end, Ethan’s usual arrogance had completely vanished. His bow tie was loose, and he had taken off his glasses, struggling to steady his emotions.
“Ethan, thank you for your hard work today. It’s a pity that Clarice hasn’t been around these past few days. I was hoping to consult her on some management insights. Please convey my regards and wish her a speedy recovery,” Khloe said softly as she stood to leave the conference room.
“Of course.” Ethan clenched his jaw, forcing a faint smile.
Once she left, he immediately stormed back to his office, furious. He even called the two shareholders who had just switched sides, demanding to know why they had betrayed him at the last minute.
It turned out that Khloe’s connections in the financial world were far stronger than they had imagined-she had dug up their personal details.
All their current assets were invested in the Morrison Group; their wealth and lives were deeply tied to the company. Privately, they had even arranged numerous under-the-table benefits for Ethan.
Khloe threatened them: if they didn’t help her seize control, she would drive the Morrison Group’s stock through the floor with her billions.
They couldn’t afford to gamble. If Khloe went all out, she might really do it, and they, as board members, would be the ones to suffer.
On top of that, she already knew their secret dealings with Ethan…
Ethan’s chest ached with anger. These old men were utterly useless! How dare they act without consulting him? He cursed under his breath, hung up the phone, and immediately drove off to find Clarice.
Meanwhile, Khloe returned to her office after arranging official placements for Charlotte and the rest of the team.
When she received the meeting minutes from her assistant, she was surprised to find an extra shareholder vote under her name.
Including Ethan’s forced vote, she should have had four votes today–but why did the system show five?
Khloe opened the system and discovered that the Morrison Group now had an eighth shareholder, named… “Nick Hunt.”
Her heart sank.
At some point, Nick had begun buying Morrison Group’s scattered shares in batches. He had only obtained shareholder voting rights half an hour before Khloe’s meeting.
Every shareholder was notified of the vote, and Nick had clicked to support her without hesitation.
He had done it deliberately… quietly, without drawing attention, to help her.
Khloe’s heart swirled with emotion. She wanted to call him immediately but decided a simple phone call wouldn’t be formal enough.
He had given her several rather valuable gifts before, and she had promised to return the gesture.

Glancing at the time-it was just before six-Khloe headed straight to the city’s largest luxury mall.

Trey’s car pulled into the mall garage.
Inside, Angela sat with tears still streaking her face.
She had endured a series of blows over the past two days: first, Stella had thrown her out of her home, and then Arthur humiliated her at the company.
Trey hadn’t dared to see her for two days, feeling guilty for his absence.
“Alright, don’t cry anymore. I promised I’d make it up to you. Today, you can pick whatever you want. We need to get through this rough patch, and I’m sorry you’ll have to bear some of it,” he said gently.
After all, Angela was his wife. Trey couldn’t focus solely on work. For now, buying her something she liked was the only way he could comfort her.
