No one was allowed to hurt Khloe—not even Morrison Group.
Nick was willing to defy George's principles for her.
Khloe understood Nick's thoughts perfectly, but she didn't want to escalate things unnecessarily.
If Solara Energy and Morrison Group were entering a legitimate partnership, she had no standing to oppose it. Otherwise, she wouldn't deserve to steer Morrison Group at all.
But… if Angela was acting as Solara Energy's representative, that changed everything.
Indirectly, Clarice had also given her an opening for retaliation.
"All right. I understand."
After finishing the call with Charlotte, Khloe felt reassured.
No wonder Angela could act as Solara Energy's representative. Trey had actually handed over the data she had painstakingly researched to Angela.
To stoop that low and still try to deceive her?
Thinking of the words Trey had uttered in confession earlier, Khloe felt a wave of disgust churn in her stomach. Usually, she could suppress the thought, but today it nearly made her retch.
"Khloe, are you okay?" Charlotte's concern was audible over the phone.
"I'm fine. But what about you… you stole Ethan's phone—he didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Khloe hadn't wanted Charlotte to take such a dangerous risk. Had she known Charlotte would go this far, she wouldn't have mentioned it at all.
Still, if Ethan pressed the matter, Khloe had already resolved in her mind that she would take full responsibility—protecting Charlotte at all costs.
"No…" Charlotte hesitated, feeling the word sounded unconvincing, "…he hasn't discovered it yet."
"Khloe, Solara Energy will sign the contract with us tomorrow morning. Should we do something?"
