Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 612 Nick understood that what Khloe mentioned was only the best- case scenario. Most research projects aimed for a complete cure-but success was far from guaranteed. And going that far away? Right now, Khloe simply couldn't spare herself. He glanced at her and said, "I don't want to leave you. At a time like this, your focus shouldn't be on me. You have other important things." Last night, she had already told him she had come out only because of the ten-day agreement. There were still matters with the Morrison family to settle.

Since Khloe had gone this far for him, he would naturally face it all alongside her-he couldn't let her fail. He had already instructed Lenny to return to the Hunt family to investigate. Every single day now was critical. "| knew you'd say that," Khloe said, holding his hand. Her eyes sparkled with determination. "I've already contacted them. Once this is settled, I'll go with you." She squeezed his hand. "I've made up my mind. The Morrison Group doesn't depend on me.

| can hand over the CEO position." Khloe's decision to make a ten-day commitment wasn't ---- impulsive; it was the result of careful preparation. When Clarice tried to isolate her, her own people had already infiltrated Clarice's circle. Clarice, waiting on Henry's side, was undoubtedly setting a trap. Khloe didn't know what cards she planned to play-but countering the plan was always safer. While Clarice's attention was fixed on her, her own operatives had quietly bought off Clarice's allies.

Khloe knew that coming to Naraida alone, no matter how many people she brought, put her at a disadvantage. But being at a disadvantage worked in her favor-it softened Henry's heart toward her. It also allowed Clarice to attack recklessly, revealing her hand. Yesterday, when Nick had gotten into trouble, she had received the news. After tracing Clarice's investigation files, she realized they all originated from a detective agency. Once she understood Clarice's movements, even a few subtle manipulations on her part could accomplish a lot. Moreover, Delilah was now on her side.

She could predict Henry's moves. Whether the speculation of George harming Niel was true or not didn't matter. All that was needed was for Henry to believe Clarice had malicious intent toward her-and that would be enough. ---- The ten-day agreement would convince Henry that Khloe was loyal and principled, willing to disregard personal gain. The more disappointed he was in her now, the more he would side with her in the eventual showdown with Clarice. This was her carefully designed counterattack.

But even if she won this round against Clarice, she didn't want to keep entangled with her afterward Khloe had thought a lot last night. She certainly wouldn't give up Niel's inheritance, but remaining in the Morrison Group meant endless conflict. She would rather live a good life with Nick. In the past, she had refused to lose, obsessed with proving her abilities and inheriting her father's legacy. But now, she realized that the more one strives to prove something, the more fear it conceals. The life she wanted wasn't just about being the CEO of the Morrison Group.

Even with Niel's inheritance, she could leave the company and rebuild a new business empire. And now, her responsibility wasn't just to the Morrison family- Nick was her responsibility too.
