Chapter 247:
Fury surged through her. With a sharp motion, she ripped her company badge from her jacket and stormed out of
the room.
Meanwhile, Khloe had made her way downstairs.
“Miss Evans,” Gloria said respectfully, “shall we head hnow?”
Khloe gave a quiet laugh as she raised the business card. “No need; we've already secured the investment.”
Gloria's face twisted in confusion as she glanced at Khloe. Afterwards, Khloe’s phone buzzed in her hand. Millie's
voice cthrough the speaker. “Miss Evans! The investment is moving forward. I'm personally putting in a
hundred million!”
Khloe's lips curled into a calm, confident smile. “Alright. I'll have someone send over the contract right away.”
Gloria's shock was evident as she stared at Khloe. She didn’t expect such a turn of events. Surprised, she blurted
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtout, “How did you know Millie wouldn't back out?”
Khloe let out a soft smile and raised her phone. “Because | was the one who leaked the news to Lorraine.”
“What?” Gloria gasped in shock.
Gloria, who usually carried herself with an air of stoic composure, now stood with her mouth agape,
astonishment written all over her face—a look that made Khloe chuckle dotingly.
Actually, they were about the sage.
Noticing the spark of curiosity in Gloria's wide eyes, Khloe pulled Gloria into the car and laid out her plan in
detail.
“When | first considered this fashion company, it wasn’t because | found the company worth investing in. It was
Millie. She was the key.” Taking a sip, Khloe leaned back and continued, “Her father is an old-school conservative
and an old friend of Lorraine's. | had that figured out from the beginning. Millie Glyn is different—shrewd,
ambitious, and driven. First, | paraded the idea of investing, knowing Millie wouldn't be able to resist. Then, I let
Lorraine find out. Predictably, Lorraine tried to stop Millie. When Jameson sided with Lorraine, Millie was
humiliated. Of course, someone as proud and eager to prove their worth as Millie wouldn't take that lying down.
So, | nudged her into investing privately. No need to wade through the red tape of company accounts, right?”

Gloria was momentarily at a loss for words, her thoughts a whirl of admiration and surprise.
Khloe’s explanation sounded deceptively straightforward, but one wrong move in the intricate process would
have completely derailed Millie's chances of investing successfully.
The seamless execution of such a delicate plan required not just skill, but a sharp, strategic mind. It was a kind
of brilliance Gloria had only ever seen in Henrik before.
The two truly were a match made in heaven.
“You're really quite cunning,” Gloria remarked bluntly, unable to hide her awe.
Khloe’s laughter rang out like tinkling bells as she reached over to pinch Gloria's cheek. “Have you forgotten
who's in charge here? How dare you talk aboutlike that?”
As Khloe leaned in, her eyes sparkled with playful mischief, the kind that seemed to captivate anyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGloria, enraptured, blushed at Khloe’s touch. Truth be told, she found herself wishing Khloe would pinch her
cheeks like this more often.
Protecting someone as dazzling as Khloe? That alone felt like a privilege worth every ounce of effort.
“Gloria, we've worked together long enough. There’s no need to be so formal. Stop callingMiss Evans. Just
callby my name,” Khloe said, releasing her grip with a faint smile and rubbing her hands together.
