Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 322 Khloe didn't want to dwell on the topic of Nick's injuries. She briefly reassured Charlotte, then asked about the company's projects and the new drug launch. Charlotte knew Khloe's priorities now, and she reported everything meticulously, leaving nothing out. Mixed in with the corporate updates, she added a little personal tidbit. A few days ago, Charlotte had had dinner with Ethan. He knew she had her reasons-Khloe was away, and Charlotte, flustered and unsettled, had tried to probe him for information. But whether intentionally or not, Ethan had ended up revealing some details.

In front of Charlotte, he had taken a call from Clarice and, in doing so, exposed Khloe's contact with Oscar. Charlotte couldn't tell whether Ethan was trying to stir trouble, so she immediately relayed everything to Khloe. Ethan's words couldn't be trusted-but with Oscar now managing key projects in Khloe's absence, any mistake could leave her exposed. "Thank you, Charlotte. But don't worry-what Ethan said may be true, but from what I can see, Oscar probably won't betray me." Knowing someone cared so much touched Khloe deeply.

While she was gambling that Oscar would stay on her side, she hadn't left herself completely unprepared. For this drug project review, she had set the approval authority to require all shareholders' signatures. The authority she delegated to Oscar represented only her personal power; even if he signed an incorrect report, the responsibility would be shared across the company. To ensure the project ran smoothly, she had also set up a temporary review feedback team that would update any issues in the group chat in real time.

This team had been created just a few days ago, unbeknownst to even Charlotte and her colleagues. The group had flagged some inconsistencies in the tax review data. Oscar, however, hadn't signed off on any report yet; he was rechecking the numbers. With Clarice and Ethan constantly targeting her, Khloe exercised extreme caution with every major corporate decision. Even if she stumbled, she ensured there was always a way to recover. If not for Nick's accident, she wouldn't have had the bandwidth to manage so much-and the delegated approval likely wouldn't have fallen on Oscar.

Now, it seemed Oscar had sent her updates under Clarice's direction. In that case, was Nick's accident truly an accident? "That's good. Whatever happens, I'll let you know immediately. Khloe, please take care of yourself and come back as soon as you can." Charlotte's words were warm, giving Khloe a rare sense of reassurance that she was not alone in the fight. "Mm," Khloe replied. Though her mind remained heavy, she forced her voice to sound light and gentle. "I will. But Charlotte... you've done enough for me.

Stay away from Ethan." 1/2 Chopto 322 +25 Bonus There was a brief pause on the line before Charlotte replied vaguely. Khloe knew Charlotte might not have truly listened. After hanging up, Khloe, exhausted, skimmed through the work updates. She curled up on the sofa, her mind looping over Clarice's schemes and Nick's accident, until fatigue finally claimed her. In her sleep, she dreamed she saw Clarice instructing someone to harm Nick, and she was powerless to stop it- forced to watch helplessly.

But just as she was breaking down in the dream, cold and trembling, a warm force wrapped around her. It felt as if someone had embraced her from behind. And in that instant, the darkness, despair, and isolation faded. The man's presence was unmistakable. His broad form stood behind her like an unbreakable wall. 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
