Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 626 "And I've studied many of your past projects, your management plans, and the major corporate reform strategies you've led. Ethan, your abilities are more than enough-you don't need anyone to rely on. So why, with all your talent, do you settle for being Clarice's eyes and hands at Morrison Group?" Charlotte spoke from the heart. She deeply disliked Ethan as a person, but professionally, she respected and admired his capabilities. Of course, her words carried a touch of flattery, carefully measured to draw him in. Unsurprisingly, Ethan responded well.

The mischievous glint in his eyes softened almost instantly into a smile. He released her cheek and chuckled lightly. "Seems like you pay a lot of attention to me." "..Of course," Charlotte replied calmly. He was Khloe's enemy and the one who had hurt her friend-how could she not pay attention to him? "Although | suspect you're only flattering me to help Khloe," he continued, his tone dropping. "Now that you've said it...

you'd better think carefully about how you're going to help me get what | want." ---- Before she could respond, he suddenly leaned in, pressing Charlotte against the wall again. His warm breath brushed her ear, sending shivers through her body. She felt a thousand tiny ants crawling over her skin, and her brow furrowed instinctively. Just then, her phone vibrated. It was Winnie calling. Winnie had finished her makeup and had come looking for Charlotte. The second floor was nearly empty, and she spotted Charlotte's familiar figure after a quick scan. "Ethan! This is a public place!

What are you trying to do to Charlotte?!" Winnie charged forward, convinced Charlotte was being harassed. Ethan raised an eyebrow and quickly sidestepped. Seeing Winnie reach Charlotte and check her over as if Charlotte were some endangered prey, Ethan shrugged silently, unimpressed "I'm fine," Charlotte murmured, low enough for Winnie to hear. Winnie, however, placed Charlotte protectively behind her and glared at Ethan like a warrior ready for battle. "Ethan, if you harass Charlotte again, we'll involve the police." "The police? Go ahead. Call them.

Let's see how | got played by this girl," he said, adjusting his jacket and walking away without ---- acknowledging Winnie. His gaze flicked briefly to Charlotte before he departed Winnie bristled, ready to chase him down, but Charlotte gently held her back. "Let him go. He didn't do anything this time. | sought him out." Winnie still looked worried. "But... just now, he didn't take advantage of you?" "No..." Charlotte's cheeks tinged pink, and she quickly changed the subject. "| tested him a bit.

He probably won't reveal anything about you and Michael for now." "He's not a good person, Charlotte. You should stay away from him," Winnie warned. She knew Charlotte had only gone to Ethan for her sake. Anyone could see that Ethan was interested in Charlotte, and that she was playing with fire. "IL know. I'll protect myself," Charlotte said firmly, unwilling to elaborate further. Winnie could see it clearly. Charlotte's intentions were precise- she intended to use Ethan, and once she made a decision, she was stubborn enough not to back down. Even Khloe's advice wouldn't sway her.

Any words Winnie said now would be futile. ---- Still, Winnie couldn't shake the feeling that Ethan had been taken aback today. She had expected him to stir up trouble, yet surprisingly, he had yielded-at least for Charlotte's sake.
