Chapter 675



Kallie’s confrontational stance immediately alerted other companies, noticing that something was amiss. Hadn’t there been rumors of a warm rapport between the Morgan family and Kallie? Evidently, those rumors were unfounded.

Some, wanting to get on Kallie’s good side, didn’t hesitate to show their loyalty.

Meanwhile, adversaries of the Morgan family capitalized on the turmoil to launch their attacks.

The Morgan family’s primary ventures were domestic, and the ripple effects of these tensions threatened substantial repercussions overseas. Outsiders were oblivious, but insiders were acutely aware. The company’s executives continually sought to soothe Kallie, emphasizing the lack of business conflicts with the Morgan family. There were no known grievances involving the Morgan family hindering Kallie’s international operations, suggesting the roots of the issue were personal. The path to resolution was through communication, not by allowing ties to break down further.

Several high-ranking members of the Morgan family discreetly reached out to Kallie, probing her intentions and reminding her of their mutually beneficial past dealings. The Morgan family’s fall would hardly benefit Kallie, who appeared disinterested in seizing their holdings.

After hearing the executives voice their concerns, Kallie responded calmly, “I’m not aiming to target anyone. I simply need Clayton to meet with me immediately. Only then will I cease my actions.”

The executives exchanged uneasy looks. They had relayed Kallie’s demand to the Morgan family, but it had proved pointless as they had not been able to reach Clayton for some time. Clayton was the most influential member of the Morgan family. If he was avoiding them, there was nothing they could do.

Kallie arched an eyebrow, her voice chilling. “If that’s the case, there’s nothing more to discuss. You’d better sort out your own problems first.”

Kallie was intent on advancing her own prospects, yet no career achievement or wealth could eclipse the significance of her child. Regardless of the situation with Jake, she was resolute in her mission to find Chloe.

Three days later, the Morgan family teetered on the edge of ruin. Kallie finally achieved her desired outcome.

That day, her secretary brought news that someone with the last name Morgan wished to meet her.

Kallie’s somber face finally softened a bit, and she let out a chuckle. “Looks like he just can’t wait any longer.”

Yet, she hadn’t even played her best hand. Her plan was to have Edgar mobilize the Reeves family’s resources if Clayton failed to show up.

In the conference room, waiting for Kallie was not only Clayton, but another man as well.

Catching sight of the man, Kallie’s heart skipped a beat, sending her thoughts into disarray. It was Jake, sitting by Clayton’s side. When Kallie entered, Jake and Clayton were sharing a laugh, evidently enjoying each other’s company.

Kallie composed herself and took a seat opposite them. She had braced herself for Clayton’s wrath, but to her astonishment, he greeted her with a smile.
