Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 413 Nick suddenly sprang to his feet, so fast that the chair toppled with a harsh clatter. Seeing Nick's mood shift, Arista quickly intervened. "George! Let's go home!" George, realizing he had struck Khloe, felt a twinge of embarrassment. His palm tingled; he'd hit too hard- blinded by anger. This time, he didn't push Arista away. Loretta was furious, but she merely shot him a glare before rushing to help Khloe to her feet. The blow had left Khloe stunned, but with the support of the maids and Loretta, she gradually stood upright.

"Nick..." After regaining her composure for a moment, she immediately called his name. She had been worried about him from the moment George arrived; she could sense his unease. Nick's gaze lingered on Khloe for just a moment before lifting, his bloodshot eyes like a frozen, terrifying pool. Khloe felt a shiver of fear and instinctively frowned, her mouth opening slightly in surprise. "Stop!" As George turned, preparing to leave with Arista, Nick's voice cut through the room. "You hit my wife, and you think you can just walk away?" Step by step, Nick advanced.

His voice wasn't loud, yet it carried an oppressive weight that made the air itself tense. Passing the dining table, he casually gripped a sharp carving knife, the steel glinting under the lights. Khloe's heart clenched at the subtle movement. "Nick, don't-please, I'm fine..." She tried to reach him with reason, her voice betraying the faintest tremor. Loretta's attention was on Khloe. She'd seen father and son quarrel many times, but today felt humiliating-her granddaughter-in-law had witnessed things she shouldn't have. She wanted to usher Khloe back to her room, but Khloe refused to budge.

George, seeing his son's accusatory stance, instantly lost what little guilt had begun to rise. "What? You're my son, and I can't teach you a lesson? She came to you herself, and now you blame me?" "What have I done to deserve this? You hit someone-shouldn't you apologize?" Nick ground his teeth, yet a grím, unsettling smile crept across his face. "I am the elder!" George barked, his face flushed red. "Besides, you're more than half responsible for today. Nick, don't think you're innocent or that I've wronged you!

You sit there, weak and helpless-how can that honor the woman who risked everything to bring you into this world? "Why are you glaring at me? Ready to lose your mind again? After all these years of pretending, you can't hold it in anymore?" Nick's patience snapped, his fingers tightening around the knife handle. Arista hurriedly urged him not to escalate. George, noticing his son's grip, snapped. He lunged forward in three 1/2 Chapter 413 +25 Bonus steps, grabbing Nick's arm. "What? Planning to kill me? Fine-if you have the guts, try it!" "George!" Arista's face turned pale.

No one expected that George's challenge would truly provoke Nick. In a sudden explosion of strength, Nick wrenched his arm free, the knife tip aimed at his father's forehead. He swung it downward. "Nick!!!" Screams erupted from everyone in the room. George's eyes widened in shock. Just as his body tensed, the knife hovered mere millimeters from his skin-yet it didn't stop because Nick pulled back. It stopped because a slender, pale hand had firmly closed around the knife, holding it in place.
