Chapter 335
Clarice wasn’t paying any attention to Ethan at all until she heard what he said. Her eyes, which had just closed, snapped open again.
“What did you say?”
Clarice knew Michael couldn’t be detained for long. With the Starr family’s limited influence, they could make things difficult for him for a while at most. Even without her stepping in to pull strings, a little financial loss on Oscar’s end would eventually smooth things over. Michael was bound to be fine sooner or later.
She just hadn’t expected it to happen so fast.
She had deliberately provoked the Starr family, intending to keep them locked in conflict with Oscar for a while longer.
“Michael returned to the country secretly last night,” Ethan continued. “You told me to keep an eye on Oscar’s side, but they were clearly avoiding attention-tight information control, no one going in or out of the house. I only found out because someone I’m seeing happens to know Oscar’s driver.”
Clarice’s face darkened visibly. She slapped her palm against the desk, laughing in anger.
“Oscar. Michael. Very played.”
No wonder Oscar ultimately sided with Khloe.
It seemed she couldn’t count on anyone in the Morrison family anymore.
If that was the case, then she wouldn’t bother honoring whatever family ties remained.
“Oscar doesn’t know what’s good for him,” Ethan asked in a low voice. “Should we do something?”
Clarice thought for a moment, her gaze turning cold. “Of course. I’m leaving Goldmont City for a few days to meet someone. You go back to the company and keep a close eye on Khloe.”
“Got it,” Ethan replied, lowering his head.
Late at night, Trey and the rest of the Fox family were gathered in Arthur’s hospital ward.
Arthur had regained consciousness earlier that day, but he was still suffering from a severe stroke. He was aware, yet unable to speak or move.
The doctor said Arthur had suffered a massive brainstem infarction. Though emergency treatment had saved his life, the chances of recovery were slim.
The news was devastating-like the sky collapsing over the Fox family.
Stella had cried all day. Alicia stood nearby, complaining bitterly as well.
When she saw Trey arrive late with Angela, she rushed forward and lashed out at Angela. “You shameless woman! Our family is in this state because of you, and you still have the nerve to show your face?”

“Alicia, watch your mouth,” Angela snapped back. “I’m your sister-in-law! And if this family has fallen apart, the real culprit is Khloe-not me!”
Angela had barely arrived before being verbally attacked, and her temper immediately flared.
She refused to back down, glaring back with a vicious, shadowed look that made even Alicia hesitate.
“Sister-in-law? Angela, you really have some nerve,” Alicia sneered. “If you hadn’t been seducing my brother all these years, stringing him along while giving the company terrible advice, would Khloe have gotten the chance to strike? One shameless woman put our family through so much suffering-now we have you, another cheap and useless-”
Before she could finish, a sharp slap landed across Alicia’s face.
