Chapter 237
Nick’s sudden question left Lenny momentarily stunned. “Morrison Group invested in Fox Group?”
He hadn’t even noticed that line in the report.
Logically, with Khloe at the Morrison Group, Morrison Group wouldn’t have any dealings with the Fox Group. And who in their right mind would invest in such an ordinary company?
“I’ll check… it seems to be encrypted,” Lenny said, taking the file.
Nick didn’t speak, but his expression darkened.
There were only two possibilities: Morrison Group’s move was aimed at Khloe-meaning it had to involve Ethan and his team.
Or… it could be Khloe herself. Could she still be hung up on Trey?
The thought flashed briefly, then was immediately dismissed. Nick knew it was impossible, yet any matter involving Khloe made it impossible for him not to overthink.
This feeling of being possessive and insecure over someone else… even he despised it in himself.
By evening, Trey hurried back to the Fox family estate, waiting at the gate for Angela to appear.
The mysterious investor from Morrison Group had arranged a meeting for next week, and tonight, he planned to attend a high-profile jewelry auction.
Originally, Trey intended to go alone, but Angela, upon hearing that the auction was hosted by an internationally renowned organizer with numerous top-tier collections—and that prominent figures in Goldmont City had received special invitations—insisted on going to see the world. If she could also pick up some treasures for herself along the way, all the better.
She didn’t ask Trey directly; instead, she approached Arthur subtly. After all, women had an instinct for choosing jewelry gifts, and Arthur now just wanted Angela to behave. As long as her request wasn’t excessive, he wouldn’t object.
So Trey reluctantly agreed to take her along.
He waited at the gate for quite some time, but Angela didn’t appear. Growing annoyed, he received a call-his assistant reporting on the investigation into Khloe,
The results were… nothing.
Khloe had left no trace in Goldmont City. Not a single person around her would divulge any information.
“Worthless!” Trey swore under his breath.
No sooner had he hung up than Angela climbed into the car.
She had spent a long time choosing her outfit: a deep green velvet evening gown paired with a black short jacket lined with fur, radiating elegance and luxury.

Trey merely glanced at her and said nothing.
Angela had half-expected a compliment-she had spent three painstaking hours dressing up! But Trey’s cold indifference made her stop hoping. She turned her gaze to the window instead.
At the venue, Trey strode ahead, completely ignoring Angela, who was struggling in high heels to keep up.
“Ms. Roswell, right this way. We’ve arranged seating for you in the VIP section on the second floor,” a staff member announced.
