Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 751

"That's great news!" Angela blurted out what she truly thought, almost without thinking.

When she caught Barney's gaze, she quickly added, "I mean—if something like that really happened, it would be good for our bid."

Barney nodded, his expression grave.

"I tested Khloe just now," he said. "Her reaction was very muted. I think she might simply not dare respond to me."

"But we can't rule out the possibility that she's deliberately playing mysterious," he continued. "Or maybe Nick has other moves planned and can't show himself yet. He might appear at the last moment and raise the stakes."

Barney always thought several steps ahead.

After all, the Hunt family had more than just Nick capable of taking the helm. George, as chairman, could also step in and participate in the bidding. There was no need for Khloe to shoulder everything alone.

"This isn't hard to deal with. Leave it to me."

Angela seemed to think of something. A strange glimmer flickered in her eyes.

…

The next day at noon, Khloe had just finished a meeting when she received a call from Charlotte.

She didn't even have time for lunch before heading straight to Morrison Group.

Oscar was already waiting in the office. Several shareholder documents rested in his hands, as though he had come fully prepared.

Charlotte stood by the door and signaled to Khloe with her eyes.

Oscar had arrived in such a high-profile manner that plenty of employees in the company were eager to watch the drama unfold. Although no one dared to gather outside the CEO's office, along the way, many of them cast furtive glances in this direction.

At the slightest disturbance, explosive news from Morrison Group would no doubt start circulating again.

Khloe had long prepared herself for this. She gave Charlotte a look, signaling her to disperse the people lingering near the office area, then entered the office alone.

"Michael is no longer a member of the Morrison family. He has nothing to do with you. That was his own choice. A person can't have it both ways."

"Besides, Khloe," he continued, "although you have authority over personnel appointments, the position of vice president requires joint approval from the shareholders. I also hold veto power over senior appointments within Morrison Group."

After speaking, Oscar casually flicked the stack of documents in front of him.

Khloe said evenly, "You're absolutely right. But even if he's no longer part of the Morrison family, I still recognize Michael's abilities. I can accept unanimous opposition from everyone, but even so, he deserves a probationary period. That's in accordance with company regulations."

"Morrison Group is a family business. How could an outsider possibly be appointed vice president directly?" Oscar said without changing expression. "Even if you want to recognize his ability, he should start from the bottom. Besides, Michael already promised me he would leave the Morrison family completely and never again benefit from even the smallest advantage tied to it."

His voice wasn't loud, but every word pressed down on Khloe.

Then suddenly, he smiled.

"If you insist on letting him join the company, fine. But Michael must publicly bow his head and admit his mistake—and divorce Winnie."
