Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 29 +25 Bonus Yet Khloe remained seated , her composure unshaken , her poise so natural it couldn't possibly be an act . The organizer , realizing she wouldn't be moved easily , was on the verge of begging . " Miss Morrison , it was our error ! We can arrange another seat for you at the head table immediately - we promise you won't be slighted . It's just that this particular seat ... was reserved some time ago . The guest will be here any moment . Please , don't make this difficult for me ... " The longer Khloe held her ground , the more strained the atmosphere grew .

Whether she stayed or left now , it would be awkward . Veronica's smirk widened , her triumph barely contained . Sie seized the moment to twist the knife . " Some people love to put on a show , but they never know how to end it . It's just pathetic . " Her barb ignited a wave of murmurs . Voices around the room suggested it would be wiser for Khloe to yield gracefully . At least then she could save face by appearing considerate of the organizers . If she was forced out or clung on until a scene erupted , the humiliation would be far greater . A faint smile touched Khloe's lips .

She adjusted her posture with deliberate elegance , gathered her thoughts , and spoke with calm authority , " I understand that mistakes happen . " Her voice was even , but her gaze sharpened as it landed on the pale manager , her tone turning icy . " But I am here as the official representative of Morrison Group . By occupying this seat , I uphold the dignity of the Morrison family . First , you failed to place my name card . Now , for the sake of a guest who hasn't even arrived , you ask me to move to a makeshift seat ?

Does that mean the Morrison family's honor isn't worthy of your respect ? " A stunned silence fell over the room . Everyone understood the weight the Morrison name carried - this blunder was , indeed , a profound sign of disrespect . Cold sweat beaded on the manager's forehead . He opened his mouth to explain , but Khloe pressed on . " As for the distinguished guest who is on his way , his presence is a favor to this event . But if , due to your error , it appears that he ' took the seat ' from the Morrison family , that is surely not the reputation he would wish to cultivate .

" Her meaning was razor - sharp . The fault lay entirely with the organizers . She would not be made a scapegoat , nor would she be pitted against the incoming guest . From the sidelines , Veronica sneered , waiting for Khloe to crumble . What could she possibly do ? Force the organizers to give up the reserved seat ? Impossible . But then Khloe turned back to the organizers , her tone softening as if offering them a way out . " The solution is actually quite simple . " " Oh ? And what solution would that be ? " The reply did not come from the floor manager .

A deep , magnetic voice resonated from the edge of the crowd . Every head turned . There stood Nick , dressed in a simple yet impeccably tailored black suit , his strides long and commanding . Only his assistant , Lenny , accompanied him - yet it was Nick alane whose presence seemed to suck the air from the room . 772 +25 Bonus With just a few words , his aura washed over the hall , pressing the crowd into a hushed stillness . His gaze locked directly on Khloe , his dark eyes gleaming with something unreadable - scrutiny , and a trace of unmistakable amusement .

Khloe's heart stuttered in her chest . ' Nick ! Wasn't he thousands of miles away last night ? How is he here ? ' A wave of shocked whispers swept the banquet hall . Disbelief was etched on every face . The man was a phantom in the business world - rarely seen , shrouded in legend . But his ruthless demeanor was well - known . Even among this elite crowd , his circle was exclusive . Power , wealth , prestige - none of it mattered . He had crossed titans before and dismantled them without a second thought . Those who had dared to offend him were said to have vanished without a trace .
