Chapter 836
Afterward, Charlotte stayed at the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
Spealding about last night, tears streamed down her face, her voice trembling uncontrollably,
“It’s okay… it’s all over now,” Khloe murmured, ulling Charlotte into a comforting, embrace, pressing her close to soothe her shaking body,
She hadn’t expected Clarice to go so far against han. Both Khloe and Ethan had thought Clarice only wanted to use him as a pawn, a scapegoat.
Fortunately, it had ended without serious harm,veryone had survived,
As Charlotte and Khloe spoke, Lenny arrived. The moment he saw Khloe, his excitement was impossible to hide.
“Madam!” a
“Lenny,” Khloe smiled faintly,
Lenny’s gaze lingered, searching for something or someone, Khloe looked toward the car outside. Lenny’s eyes immediately followed; in the backseat of the black car parked at the station sat Nick.
“Sir.”
Seeing Nick, Lenny’s eyes nearly filled with tears. He quickly turned his head, afraid of showing his raw emotions. Ever since he had started as Nick’s assistant, Nick had demanded professionalism and composure at all times.
“Lenny, thank you for your hard work,” Nick said, reaching out to pat his shoulder.
Lenny bent forward, looking pitiful and weary. For days, he had forced himself to hold back his emotions, afraid it would affect Khloe. But now, the dam broke. The harder he tried to restrain himself, the less control he had, and he wiped tears from his face with his hand.
“Foolish boy… why are you crying? I’m fine, arent 1?”
“Sorry, sir… I… I just… I missed you so much… and you’ve suffered…”
Seeing such loyalty and devotion from Lenny, Nick’s chest tightened with emotion.
At that moment, Lucas stepped out of the car to noke. He casually reached out toward Nick, who frowned.
“I need a tissue,” Nick said.
Lucas searched his pockets, found none, and was about to ask his assistant when Charlotte quickly stepped forward, handing a pack of tissues to Nick.

“Welcome back, Nick,” Charlotte said with a small, relieved smile. Seeing Khloe finally bring Nick back, she could hardly contain her emotions.
Just as before, no matter his appearance, just having Nick around gave everyone a sense of security.
Nick gave Charlotte a faint smile and passed the tissues to Lenny. “Get in the car. We still have work to do.”
Lenny immediately nodded.
Today was the final bidding session between the Hunt Group and Solara Energy.
The bidding had started that morning. Representing Hunt Group were George and Arista, while Michelle, as the most prominent team member, would speak on Khloe’s behalf.
Beforehand, following Khloe’s plan, Michelle had prepared promotional materials. These had already been released online as the Hunt Group’s new corporate advertisement.
Michelle’s creative approach was clever. She presented the company’s century–long history in a self–deprecating “old–school stubborn” style, simultaneously mocking Solara Energy’s technological advances, which were built at the expense of environmental damage and massive resource waste.
Hunt Group had always prioritized public welfare. No matter what project they led, they ensured it was the best–not just for the present, but for the future as well.
Michelle, being skilled in online marketing, had crafted a short promotional video that immediately stirred emotional responses from netizens. 1
Adding to this, with Khloe’s recent disappearance and Solara Energy aggressively promoting their bid, even the project organizers began leaning in Hunt Group’s favor. The company had initially been at a distinct disadvantage, but this wave of public sentiment turned the tide dramatically, 1
