Angela had assumed that the Morrison family's representative this time would be the mysterious Morrison heiress—or perhaps Niel's wife.
She had heard that the current executive president of Morrison Group was indeed the Morrison heiress, though quite a number of the Morrison family members held posts within the company. Niel's adopted son was apparently one of the top executives.
The man in front of her was most likely him.
"It's me. I'm Ethan Morrison, Vice President of the Morrison Group."
As Ethan shook Angela's hand, his gaze flicked subtly toward Trey.
Trey said modestly, "Ethan, don't pull my leg, will you? The Fox Group no longer exists in Goldmont."
He had once thought he was dealing with the Morrison heiress. Only after learning that Khloe was the heiress of the Morrison family did he realize that the person who had wanted to invest in the Fox Group wasn't her at all.
Trey understood immediately—Ethan was the one behind the investment in the Fox family.
He had done some research on the Morrison family. Niel's adopted son had entered the family through marriage. Public records showed that Niel had left nearly all of his inheritance to his biological daughter. Anyone could see that Ethan and Khloe were unlikely to be close.
The fact that Ethan had invested in the Fox family right under Khloe's nose only confirmed his suspicion.
Unfortunately, an adopted son could never truly rival a biological child. Otherwise, the Fox Group wouldn't have declared bankruptcy and liquidation so quickly.
But Trey had come to terms with it. Lowering his stance wasn't such a bad thing. At least now, they no longer had to be blindsided, at the mercy of some unknown force.
"Don't be disheartened, Trey. Life is full of ups and downs. Even the mighty Morrison Group may not remain so ten years from now. Isn't that right?" Ethan offered the remark lightly, a hint of reassurance in his tone, then gestured for everyone to take their seats.
Trey observed Ethan carefully, expression calm. "Ethan, will it just be the three of us for dinner today?"
