After all, Khloe was an illegitimate daughter. Even if she truly had a past, that in itself was understandable.

But if she had concealed a previous marriage and still married his son, that would be a matter of moral character. In that case, the marriage could no longer stand.

Khloe didn’t recognize the man who had spoken, but the moment she heard his words, her nerves snapped tight and her face quickly drained of color.

She parted her lips, wanting to respond, yet for a moment she didn’t know how to refute him. What he said wasn’t entirely true-and it was clearly someone Clarice had deliberately arranged.

But if she tried to argue, she would have to explain her past with Trey.

She could endure the ridicule directed at herself…

The problem was that everyone present came from powerful, influential families, prominent figures in the business world. If she revealed her past here, it would drag the Hunt family’s reputation down with her.

Loretta and the others had treated her so well. Khloe truly couldn’t bear to disappoint them.

“Sir, is what you’re saying really true? Could you have mistaken someone else for her?”

Clarice spoke up with feigned surprise, turning to question the guest. But those words only gave the man an even better opening.

He stood up at once and pulled out his phone, as if he had been prepared all along. He showed everyone a short video of Khloe and Trey together. Yet it wasn’t the intimate, affectionate scene he had described-only the two of them appearing at the same business reception.

“I remember it clearly. I didn’t get it wrong. Take a look yourselves-isn’t this Khloe?”

Before he could pass the phone around, someone suddenly seized his arm. The grip was vicious, as if it were about to snap his bones in half.

“Ah-ah-!” The man grimaced in pain. When he turned around and saw it was Nick, the phone slipped from his hand and smashed onto the floor.

Nick’s expression was cold and unreadable. He stepped down hard on the screen.

The video cut off instantly. Under his foot, the phone screen shattered completely.

“Sorry. I accidentally crushed your phone. I’ll compensate you later.”

There was a faint, chilling edge of killing intent in Nick’s voice. A thin smile lingered in his eyes as he swept his gaze across everyone who was still staring at the fallen phone-yet the cold in that look was terrifying.

George’s expression darkened even further.

He had clearly warned Nick with his eyes just moments ago, but Nick still ignored him and stood up from the table without hesitation.

“I-It’s fine…”

The man whose wrist Nick was gripping trembled as he spoke through the pain. Even though he had acted on Clarice’s instructions, facing Nick directly still terrified him.

But Nick showed no intention of letting him go.

With a sharp crack, the man heard a dull sound from his bones. He clutched his arm and collapsed to the floor, rolling in agony.

“Nick, all our guests are visitors tonight. There’s no need to be angry,” Clarice said quickly as she hurried over with her people. Her subordinates immediately dragged the man away.

“If this is a misunderstanding, it can be explained clearly. I believe Khloe wouldn’t lie to you. These matters… you should already know about them, shouldn’t you?”

As soon as she finished speaking, murmurs spread through the crowd.

Michelle clenched her hands tightly, watching Nick with unease.

She had warned him long ago that Khloe had been involved with another man, but he had refused to listen.

Having known Nick for years, she understood him better than anyone. Whenever he cared about something, he threw himself into it completely, without regard for consequences. Seeing him like this now, his heart must have taken another devastating blow.

Ethan, meanwhile, sat calmly to the side, watching the drama unfold.

His gaze swept over every member of the Hunt family. Seeing them all fix their eyes on Khloe-concern mingled with unmistakable scrutiny-he felt satisfied. The corner of his lips curved upward as he lifted his glass and took a slow sip.
