Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 604 "Did you already know that Nick came to Naraida?" Henry drew a deep breath and spoke without circling the issue. Delilah clenched her hands tightly, her eyes fixed on Khloe's room. pent Khloe's reply was just as straightforward Henry's expression darkened. His voice turned heavy. "You knew long ago?" "Only a little earlier than the news," Khloe answered from inside the room. "We talk every day. Nick didn't tell me until he arrived here." Her words caused the tension in Henry's body to ease slightly. He instinctively glanced at Delilah.

Her gaze softened as well, and she gave him a small nod, as if to confirm Khloe's explanation. Indeed, if Khloe had denied knowing about Nick's arrival, Henry would never have believed her. A lie would have played straight into the hands of those with ---- ulterior motives, and the fragile trust he and Khloe had just built would have collapsed at once. But admitting it openly made sense-Nick coming to look for her was only natural. The old man's expression eased considerably. Khloe then stepped out of the room. She had changed clothes, and her half-damp hair rested against her shoulders.

She looked calm and unstrained. "So what do you think?" Henry asked, testing her. "Nick came all this way for you. Have you wavered?" Since Khloe had been honest, he no longer wanted to press her on whether the two of them had already met. If she truly intended to leave with Nick, she wouldn't still be here now. But if she let emotion rule her and chose Nick, then from this moment on, he would no longer have this granddaughter. The Morrison family business could no longer be entrusted to her. That was what Henry cared about most. Khloe didn't answer right away.

Delilah understood her intent and immediately signaled for her to stop. She knew the old man's temper well. Though he seemed to be ---- speaking openly now, if Khloe revealed her true thoughts, he would use any means necessary to restrain her After a brief pause, Khloe still answered truthfully, "Yes, | have wavered." Henry's gaze turned cold at once. "Oh?" "Nick knows I'm in a difficult position, so he chose not to stay here. His thinking is the same as mine-we both want the truth to be uncovered and to give both families justice.

Therefore, | want to add one more condition to our agreement." With the air of a negotiator, Khloe looked at Henry with solemn sincerity. The old man straightened slightly. He admired her courage, yet at the same time felt deeply disappointed by her emotional impulsiveness. In the end, Clarice had been right. With a temperament like this, Khloe was even less steady than Niel Still, Henry drew in a slow breath. "Go on." "Ten days," Khloe said coldly.

"If within ten days | cannot prove that George has nothing to do with my father's death, | will give up Niel's inheritance and leave the Morrison family." Her words stunned Henry and left Delilah staring in disbelief. ---- Originally, the old man had agreed that as long as Khloe stayed here for two months, and if she still couldn't determine the cause of Niel's death, he would let her go. Moreover, Khloe held full authority to participate in the investigation. But now, she was setting such a harsh condition on herself, issuing a virtual ultimatum.

Delilah knew Khloe was acting out of anxious concern. She wanted desperately to return to Nick's side... but this was far too reckless.
