Chapter 650
If Khloe failed to uncover the truth within ten days, would she actually be cast out of the Morrison family, forced to renounce her inheritance?
Arista thought not.
No matter what, Clarice was still an outsider, and before anything was settled, Henry wouldn’t act so hastily.
Khloe, however, saw it differently.
Henry certainly knew Clarice was targeting Khloe. But what he cared about most wasn’t whether Niel’s death had anything to do with George-it was whether Khloe would absolutely stand with the Morrison family.
Ever since Khloe had expressed her strong personal will, Henry might have reserved a trace of familial affection for her-but he would no longer see her as a Morrison heir. What he wanted was an obedient family member, a controllable heir.
The Khloe of the past, no matter how the Morrison family treated her, would never have given in sc easily. But after being with Nick, after experiencing so much together, she suddenly understood that life she truly wanted wasn’t just about winning or losing.
All her life, Khloe had always given everything she had-at school, in love. Every setback made her tougher, yet that strength had always stemmed from unease and fear. Because there had never been anyone behind her.
From childhood onward, she had only herself to catch herself-to keep moving, never stopping, never letting down her guard. Exhausted, hurt-she had to keep moving forward, growing tougher, more
untouchable.
So when Trey betrayed six years of her love, she doubled down on her career. So when the position of the Morrison heir was difficult to claim, she fought to sit it more securely.
But now, things were different.
Since being with Nick, her fear had gradually dissolved. True love could melt all unease.
Nick always said he was healed by her-but how could she say she wasn’t healed by him too? He could catch her unconditionally, let her be herself. He showed her completeness-she was no longer isolated, no longer had to prove anything to anyone, no longer had to bear everything alone.
This love had already filled the void deep in her soul. It taught her how to be herself more fully and showed her what she truly wanted. Even if she gave up her inheritance and left the Morrison family, she would no longer feel fear or insecurity.
“Isn’t there a saying,” she murmured with a small smile, “that a good man stands in your future? But ! think my bright future can perhaps stand within a good relationship.”

Arista had meant to comfort Khloe-but instead, Khloe had humorously comforted her. She chuckled and brushed Khloe’s lips lightly.
“You’re right. If the Morrison family bullies you, just ignore them. At worst, you’ll only have one family! Loretta and I will never slight you. And later, when you and Nick have a few children… the inheritance can go entirely to them. You’ll never have to worry about handling our family.”
Arista’s playful words made Khloe flush. Children… several children. But would she and Nick really have so much time?
Lowering her gaze, a swirl of emotions washed through her.
After Arista left, Khloe turned and saw Nick.
