Lenny wanted to stop Khloe, but seeing her resolve, he could only accompany her to the Keller residence.
The Keller family's butler looked surprised when he heard of Khloe's visit. After checking with his master, he led them straight to the study of the Keller family patriarch.
Khloe and Lenny waited nearly half an hour before anyone appeared. When they did, the only hospitality offered was two cups of hot water. The maid explained that the patriarch was busy and might not be able to see Khloe.
"I came to see Michelle," Khloe said calmly. "If Mr. Keller is unavailable, that's fine. Have Michelle come to see me—I have urgent matters to discuss with her."
The maid's smile was strained. "Miss Roswell, Miss Michelle isn't at home. And… you do have her contact information. Perhaps it would be better to make an appointment with her first?"
"Very well," Khloe said, unfazed. "Since Michelle isn't home, I'll wait here for Mr. Keller."
Lenny tensed. He glanced at Khloe, but her expression remained composed. Without hesitation, she even sat down and sipped the hot water.
The maid looked uneasy. "Miss Roswell, we apologize for keeping you waiting… but you didn't inform us beforehand. I'm afraid…"
The Keller family didn't want to offend the Morrison family. Khloe, meanwhile, was overseeing the Hunt Group's operations. There was still some cooperation between the Keller and Hunt families, so avoiding her entirely would have been impolite. The maid tried to soften the refusal.
"I'm not in a rush. I'll wait here. From what I know, Mr. Keller no longer has work responsibilities. Since he's here, I can wait patiently." Khloe cut her off, her tone decisive.
Her words left Lenny baffled. He thought her priority should be managing PR crises, not lingering at the Keller residence with Michelle.
