“Could it be…” Trey’s brow twitched, a flicker of disbelief in his eyes. “…the Morrison family?”

“The richest family in the city?” Stella hurried to Arthur’s side, her eyes lighting up with incredulity. “Arthur… is it really them?”

“Yes.” Arthur’s tone was calm, but beneath the surface, a trace of pride couldn’t be hidden. “This time, the major investment in our company comes from the number one powerhouse in Goldmont’s business world-Morrison Group.”

“That’s perfect! If they’re investing, what is there to fear? Khloe is nothing! From now on, in Goldmont, the Fox family will have its name!”

Stella’s excitement made her words tumble out in a rush. For her, simply securing the investment felt like Fox Group had already risen to stand alongside the Morrison family.

Even the usually composed Lauren couldn’t maintain her calm. “Arthur, are you certain it’s the Morrison family? How on earth did you secure their investment?”

Even just collaborating with Morrison Group would have been a leap to the top for the Fox family-now Arthur had brought their investment directly. The old lady felt both honored and overwhelmed.

But Trey didn’t look nearly as surprised. He happened to recall a few weeks back, when he’d run into Morrison Group’s heiress in the parking lot. She hadn’t agreed to meet him, yet before leaving, she had accepted his business card. Could it… be her behind this investment? 1

Arthur thoroughly enjoyed seeing his mother and wife lose their composure. A smile he could barely contain spread across his face.

“This time, I met several investors,” he said casually, as if recounting trivial news, “and one of them happened to know a mysterious big player at Morrison Group. After reviewing our core projects, he didn’t even meet us in person-he simply decided to invest, and the contracts were sent over directly.”

Stella quickly clasped her hands, offering silent thanks to fate, while Lauren repeated “Good, good, good” three times, her facial lines softening. “Arthur, you’ve done a fine job!”

She paused, then glanced at her phone, her tone growing more composed.

“Now that we have the Morrison family as our backing, Khloe can stay in her place for a while-she’ll learn not to throw her tantrums.”

With the Morrison family as a safety net, everyone regained confidence. Trey, in particular, felt a renewed calm. With Angela gone and the company secured, Khloe had no reason left to stubbornly oppose him.

After hanging up with Lauren, Khloe went to wash up, change, and prepare breakfast. She had planned to wake Nick once the food was ready.

But just as she stepped outside the room, hand raised, the door quietly swung open from inside.

Nick stood there, already dressed. His dark shirt was perfectly pressed, not a wrinkle in sight, with the top buttons casually undone to reveal the clear lines of his collarbone.

The man’s usual precise, meticulous image gave way to this relaxed, almost lazy domesticity, which somehow heightened his allure. Even fully dressed, he radiated a subtle sensuality that made her pulse quicken.

“Morning,” Nick nodded at her, his voice still husky from sleep.

He appeared to have just washed his face; a few damp strands of hair clung to his forehead, softening his otherwise sharp features.

Their eyes met, and the air between them was charged with a quiet, intimate tension.

“Morning,” Khloe replied, slightly startled, then smiled and added, “I was just about to call you. Breakfast is ready.”

“I can smell it,” Nick’s gaze swept over her-from her neatly tied-up hair to the apron at her waist-his eyes warm as they lingered, slowly tracing her form. “It smells amazing.”
