Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 164 Khloe's words were a thinly veiled jab at Ethan. He nodded subtly, fiddled with his watch, and a faint, fleeting smile crossed his face. "Then I suppose I was worrying unnecessarily," he said, standing. His tone carried a deceptive sincerity. "Mother regrets not being able to attend your engagement banquet with Nick Hunt. This weekend, she will host a dinner at home for both families. There will be many distinguished guests. Make sure to attend on time." He placed an invitation on Khloe's desk and left the office. Once outside, Ethan pulled out his phone and called an aide.

"Proceed as planned." He actually held some measure of respect for this younger sister. She wasn't a pushover. That was why he had started with civility, hoping she would yield voluntarily-but now, it was clear she wouldn't budge until forced. Meanwhile, Angela noticed the trending news had completely reversed in less than half a day. Goldmont Television Station had issued an official clarification, and every call she made to Brandon went unanswered.

In the class group chat, classmates began apologizing to Khloe, admitting they shouldn't have believed the rumors, and some even tried to tag her. But to their surprise, Khloe had already left the group. Someone asked Trey, who didn't know when she'd left. He had assumed that Khloe had quietly noticed his efforts to defend her today-but now it seemed he had been indulging in wishful thinking. Trey called Khloe repeatedly. Finally, she answered. "What is it?" Khloe's voice was still cold and distant; he could tell she was driving. Trey persisted. She had no choice but to pick up.

"Khloe, are you okay? I saw the news today. Did you offend someone-" "Don't worry about me. Worry about the Fox Group instead," Khloe interrupted, her voice ice-cold, yet to Trey, it carried a peculiar warmth, a concern for him. It was classic Khloe. Even when trouble came, she handled it quietly, refusing to burden him. In his presence, she only ever spoke of what he cared about. The thought made a sour, tender ache rise in his chest. "Khloe, now you should know what it feels like to be truly alone.

I've had your room kept in order, so don't wear yourself out running around..." Before he could finish his heartfelt words, the call was abruptly cut off. Trey's chest tightened. Anger bubbled up, too-had he spoiled her so much that now she could be this obstinate? He genuinely worried for her, yet the more he tried, the bolder she seemed to get. At that moment, Angela's call came through. Trey hesitated, then answered. On the other end, Angela was wailing, panic-stricken. Hearing that Angela was in trouble, Trey didn't even think about Khloe. He immediately drove to her place.

The moment he entered, Angela clung to him, tearful and trembling. "I'm ruined... Trey..." 1/2 Chapter 154 +25 Bonus "What happened? Calm down and tell me," he soothed, but Angela could only sob, unable to form words. It wasn't until Trey's patience nearly ran out that she clutched his arm and begged, "Please... you have to forgive me.
