"The Davis family and Clarice aren't necessarily linked. If I provoke them, I gain nothing."
Henry considered Khloe's words carefully, then softened his tone, choosing to retreat slightly. He wanted to lay out the stakes for Khloe.
With her sharp mind, she would soon understand that everything he had now would eventually become her resources, her leverage. But toppling the Davis family would still cost him a significant portion of his interests.
"If you don't act, the Davis family will still fall," Khloe said curtly. She didn't waste more words and turned to leave.
But before she could step out of the room, Henry's voice stopped her.
He had just finished a phone call, instructing his subordinates to sever all of the Davis family's partnerships. Moreover, every collaboration the Davis family relied on for survival would be cut, even at the expense of Morrison family interests.
Khloe halted mid-step.
She turned to see Henry hang up the phone, his face dark, eyes narrowing at her.
A lifetime spent wielding threats and control had finally come full circle—someone was now using the same method against him. And unexpectedly… that person was his own granddaughter.
The Morrison family had produced Khloe. As Clarice had once said, it truly was their greatest misfortune.
Khloe gave a slight nod to Henry.
She turned to leave, and he, coughing violently, was momentarily overcome with chest pain and panic. He couldn't help but call out, "Are you saying… you'll never come see me again?"
Khloe didn't stop her steps, nor did she look back. A shaft of sunlight slanted across her path, and she seemed to press it underfoot as if to stamp it down.
