Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 665 "Nick..." Khloe turned with a spark of surprise at the sound of his voice. Nick spoke calmly, his tone low, but the aura he carried pressed down on the entire room. Standing behind her, a draped suit jacket hanging over one arm, he wore only a sharply tailored black shirt, the collar slightly undone, sleeves casually rolled to his forearms. Each step he took was deliberate, his gaze fixed solely on Khloe-but in truth, no one in the banquet hall could tear their eyes away from him. For a few moments, the air itself seemed to still, before whispers and murmurs erupted.

"Who is that? So handsome..." "Did he just call Khloe his wife? She's already married?" "To think someone could come and compete with Ralph for the Morrison family's prized granddaughter... he must have quite a background..." "Shh... quiet... this is the Remington family's banquet..." In the midst of curious gazes and murmured speculation, Nick ---- naturally wrapped an arm around Khloe's waist and stood beside her. Seeing him, Khloe let down all her guard. A gentle warmth flooded her face as she introduced him to the room.

"This is my husband, Nick Hunt, current CEO of the Hunt Group." "Nick Hunt..." "He's the CEO of Hunt Group, Nick Hunt..." "| know-he was in the charity news before. The hall erupted again, louder this time, the energy nearly boiling over. In Naraida's financial scene, the Remington family commanded unquestioned authority, riding a wave of influence. Yet, the Hunt Group was a globally renowned powerhouse, its wealth rivaling even the Morrison family. And Nick's heroic rescue of children had once made headlines.

Though he was low-profile and rarely appeared in public, his actions had already elevated both his personal and corporate reputation. Not only the public, but the entire business world held the Hunt family and Nick in great respect. It was clear-Ralph had no grounds to be humiliated here. ---- Henry's grip on his cane tightened, his complexion losing color. "Khloe, Nick is here... why didn't you give me a heads-up?" Clearing his throat, Nick finally turned his head, offering a formal half-bow to the elder. After a moment, he spoke quietly, "Grandpa, | came on short notice.

It has nothing to do with Khloe. Truthfully, | should have come to visit you earlier, but | didn't want to intrude abruptly... and, as you know, I've been unwell lately." Henry studied him in silence, saying nothing for a long moment The room fell quiet again, everyone sensing the subtle tension between the two men. Of course-if Khloe already had a husband, why had Henry consistently presented her as seemingly single to the audience? In just a few days in Naraida, rumors had spread about the Remington family's intentions toward a potential alliance with the Morrison family.

Photos of Khloe attending events with Ralph had already circulated, and media outlets had eagerly speculated on their closeness. Many investors at the banquet assumed that the cooperation was a veiled move toward a marriage alliance. The press had likely already drafted tomorrow's headlines: [Billionaire Heiress ---- Falls for Finance Prince-A Match Made in Heaven] But now...

Now the story was about to get a lot juicier: [Billionaire Heiress Has a Man-CEO Nick Hunt Boldly Claims His Wife, Finance Prince Heartbroken On the Spot...) Nick's words went unanswered by Henry, whose lips twitched slightly before he turned and took his seat. Nick was the CEO of the Hunt Group. Henry's cold treatment of him, despite being his grandfather-in-law, made things undeniably awkward.
