Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 265 +25 Bonus "I investigated you, of course," Khloe said. "And yes, I exposed what I thought could damage your relationships. Ethan, surely you know this better than anyone-you invested in Trey's company to put me in an awkward position, to undermine my relationship with the Hunt family, didn't you?" Her words were unflinching, delivered with a warm, deceptively innocent smile that made Ethan's anger nearly boil over. For the first time, someone had truly rattled him. Unable to restrain himself, he let out a short, sharp laugh.

"You really think that with a few words and no evidence, you could make me doubt my mother? Khloe, don't be so naive!" Khloe just smiled, saying nothing. Ethan's repeated insistence revealed his insecurity. He wasn't foolish- playing mind games with him would never be as effective as a direct threat. "Ethan, stop provoking me." Khloe's gaze lingered on him, her voice dropping a few octaves. Though naturally soft and sweet, it carried a chill that made the hairs on his arms stand on end. Ethan remained silent. Khloe leaned slightly closer. "The risk level of Trey's company is extremely high.

The red-file report has already been submitted to the board. Don't say I didn't warn you-if Morrison Group's investment goes under and the Fox Group collapses, you'll have to take responsibility. I imagine your mother wouldn't be pleased, would she?" She cast a side glance at him, noticing his hands clutching the edge of the table. Ethan's cold eyes swept over her, his chest rising and falling sharply before he strode out of the meeting room.

Pulling out his phone mid-step, he instructed legal, "Withdraw the investment in the Fox Group." An hour later, Ethan sat fuming in his office when the HR department called, summoning him to a meeting. He felt a premonition of trouble. Upon arrival, he saw two familiar faces: Charlotte and Khloe. So, Charlotte had conspired with Khloe. She had betrayed him. Charlotte's eyes flickered with tension at first, but with Khloe beside her, she quickly relaxed. Ethan stared at her, sliding into the seat across from her, outwardly calm while his mind raced.

He had thought Khloe difficult to handle, but managing a low-level employee near her should have been easy. Yet, Charlotte had dared to cross him for Khloe. A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Most departments were under his control. Even if Charlotte reported his monitoring of Khloe's data, it hadn't caused serious consequences. He had prepared excuses to cover it. After all, Khloe was new, and he was just following Clarice's instructions- it was a family matter. And what could HR do to a vice president?

"Ethan, you have two options," Khloe said decisively, cutting off any hesitation from HR. "Apologize to Charlotte, promise never to harass her again, and accept disciplinary action as a senior executive. Or, I will make your misconduct public in the company and Involve Clarice and the board to decide how to handle your behavior. This is to prevent all employees from feeling unsafe in the future." Her gaze flicked to Charlotte, silently signaling her support. 1/2 Chapter 265 +25 Bonus Khloe had contacted Charlotte the day she resigned.

Suspecting something off, she had checked the office surveillance and discovered Charlotte had accessed her computer. Using this as leverage, Khloe had insisted on meeting her, demanding an explanation.
