Khloe breathed softly. At this moment, she didn’t want to think about anything else-except family.
“It’s too late. If we’re going to say anything, it can wait until tomorrow…”
Nick pressed his lips to her cheek. “For now, I don’t want to show myself. And you… it’s better if you don’t either.”
His strong waist shifted beneath her hands, and she held on tightly as he moved. She already understood his intention.
Instead of calling Lenny, he had summoned Lucas.
Khloe hadn’t informed anyone else either. Right now, she was as missing as Nick. For a brief moment, she wondered if it would be kind of romantic if the two of them simply disappeared together, leaving everything else behind.
“Looks like we’re on the same page again,” she said with a playful smile, gazing into his eyes filled with
tender affection.
Her disappearance this time was to ensure Clarice couldn’t recover. The evidence wasn’t sufficient yet, so there was no rush for her to appear. And the bidding event was still days away.
Nick’s thoughts were likely aligned with hers. The people they were waiting for hadn’t arrived yet, and no news could leak. That meant Lucas would continue to be their go-to.
Hearing her teasing voice, Nick’s lips curved despite himself. “Seems like you’ve planned everything already. Does Lenny know? That all the commotion with the Morrison and Hunt families was part of the plan?”
She asked, lifting a finger to tap his chin, eyes glinting, “What do you think?”
“I think…” Nick lowered his head until their noses touched. “These past few days… I’ve missed you so
much.”
“I’ve missed you too… so much it hurts.” Khloe said, then lightly bit his lower lip.
Outside, the night gradually gave way to dawn. The blackest parts of the sky began to lighten, becoming
translucent.
Morrison Group, morning.
It had been four days since Khloe went missing.
Goldmont City’s news was flooded with speculation about her disappearance.
Clarice’s interrogation had extended, but without evidence linking her to Khloe’s disappearance, she had
been released.

On the Hunt Group side, although Lenny was following Khloe’s instructions and continued working with Michelle and the special team to advance the bidding with Solara Energy, many felt Solara Energy’s victory was almost guaranteed.
With Nick gone and now Khloe missing too, how could a national-level project be entrusted to a leaderless group? 1
Charlotte noticed the online buzz fading and made up her mind. She rose and headed toward the CEO’s
office.
Before she could get there, a group had already arrived and blocked the doorway.
