Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 671 Delilah didn't dare dodge. The cane struck her lower leg, pain shooting through her as she gasped sharply. But she gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and quickly apologized. "Even you would betray me? Haven't | treated you well?" Henry's steps were heavy as he slowly approached her. The aides hurriedly returned the cane. Delilah didn't lift her eyes. "I would never betray you. You've treated me like a daughter. | will serve you faithfully for the rest of my life." The old man snorted coldly. "Then why didn't you stop her?" "In the current situation, for your dignity...

we cannot forcibly detain Miss Khloe," Delilah quickly explained. Henry knew full well that controlling Khloe now was impossible. The more he couldn't, the more it stung his pride. Delilah had just happened to be in the line of fire for his frustration. He glared at her for a long moment before finally turning and leaving. ---- "Go. Summon Clarice to see me." Normally, Henry would pamper and favor Delilah, but today, seeing her limp slightly, he didn't even spare her a glance.

She lowered her head and whispered obediently, "Yes, Sir." Khloe stormed out of the restaurant, scanning frantically for Nick, fearing he had already left. At the hotel entrance, however, she saw him waiting in the car. Without waiting for her entourage to open the door, she opened it herself and slid inside. "Nick! You need to explain yourself!" The moment she was inside, she grabbed his arm. Nick had been quietly waiting in the car, and Khloe's sudden outburst made a flicker of surprise cross his eyes. "Explain? Explain what?" he asked, his voice low and steady, though a touch hesitant.

Seeing her flushed cheeks in the dim night light, Nick's brow furrowed. He immediately pulled her into his embrace. "Did your grandfather trouble you? Why do you look so upset?" ---- More than Khloe's questions, he worried about her mood in that moment. "it doesn't matter whether he troubled me... what matters is you. How could you agree?" Khloe's eyes shimmered with tears, her face illuminated by the faint night light. She looked fierce and fragile at once, tugging at his heartstrings. Nick's chest softened instantly. "Grandfather said...

you agreed to divorce me." Khloe's voice dropped, and she avoided his burning gaze, her chest tight with unease. Could their love really be so easily shaken? They had promised each other not to retreat from the path ahead-so how could a few words from Henry make Nick...? Watching her reaction, Nick's lips curved with a small, calm smile, faint creases forming at the corners of his eyes. "[never said that." "Really?" Khloe looked at him, seeing the certainty in his nod, her cheeks burning even hotter. "Then... Grandfather lied to me... such an obvious attempt to ---- drive a wedge between us.

Khloe couldn't believe Henry would stoop to such low tactics. She had known it-Nick would never casually give her up over someone else's words. But Henry's childish scheme... did he really think they were children, or mute? "| have never said | would divorce you. | said... the day Khloe wants a divorce, | will agree." Khloe was stunned. Nick looked at her gently, his warm hands grasping hers tightly. His voice deepened "Unless you choose to leave me first, I'll stubbornly cling to you. Even if it becomes a burden to you, | will not walk away."
