Khloe’s expression remained calm, and she didn’t respond, simply waiting for him to continue.

“Before joining the Morrison Group, I could understand that you might have had a past in order to survive-those things weren’t a big deal. But now, as the head of Morrison Group, it’s different. The impact of public opinion can be severe. If the company suffers losses because of this, you might not be able to bear the responsibility.”

Ethan’s words were exactly what Khloe expected. She tilted her head slightly to look at him, still saying nothing.

He finally showed a hint of impatience. “Khloe, my mother and I have already discussed it. We can allow you to retain a mid-level position in the Morrison Group, but you will have to return over seventy percent of the assets inherited within the company.”

Khloe’s lips curved into a small, amused smile. “Raising the stakes, huh? Looks like Clarice has finally developed some recognition for me,” she teased lightly.

Hearing this, Ethan’s face darkened immediately. His smile froze, and he leaned back from the desk slightly, letting out a soft, dismissive snort.

“Khloe, I strongly advise you to consider this carefully. Do you really think running the Morrison Group is as simple as you imagine? Let me be blunt: Grandpa will return to the country in a month. The only reason he hasn’t approved you running the company alone is that he doesn’t trust a young woman in charge. If he doesn’t approve, no one in the family will.

“Moreover, if anything goes wrong in the company, you’ll be the one to take the blame. You’re already the target of criticism. Even these minor online rumors could make you the laughingstock of the business circle.

“I’m telling you this for your own good. Leave the Morrison Group, and you can live quietly as the Morrison heiress. We can all go our separate ways without conflict.”

Ethan’s tone was earnest, almost as if he were confiding in her, but every word carried implicit threats and intimidation.

Khloe couldn’t help but smile to herself. He really did treat her like a three-year-old.

“Ethan, perhaps you should check the news on your phone,” she said, her gaze flicking down to her own.

She casually swiped through her feed. Sure enough, within just a few minutes, the trending news had completely reversed.

The Goldmont Television Station had deleted the article from the reporter’s account and released an official statement clarifying that it was fake news. It had been fabricated by a new employee seeking attention, targeting a former classmate with whom they had a grudge.

The station announced that disciplinary action, including dismissal and potential legal proceedings, had been taken, and that the employee had been handed over to the police.

Meanwhile, the legal team had swiftly sent lawyer notices to all online accounts that had spread the article.

Because the reversal was so prompt, the damage was entirely under control. Moreover, Khloe’s status as a Morrison heiress had not been publicly disclosed. Very few people even knew her, and the public’s focus remained solely on the malicious article itself.

Ethan’s eyes darkened slightly. He had known that public opinion alone couldn’t cause much trouble, but he hadn’t expected Khloe to act so quickly.

He glanced at the news and said evenly, “The news can be suppressed, but the traces of the past cannot. Khloe, you weren’t raised as a protected Morrison heiress. How can you guarantee that there won’t be rumors or worse, a real scandal-in the future?”
