Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 70 Angela strode toward Khloe, balancing a luxury handbag from Trey on her back, a stack of project materials in one hand, and a coffee in the other, flanked by reception staff. It was obvious-she was here to pitch for investment too. Her eyes flicked to Khloe, and for a brief instant, her steps faltered. Her gaze darkened with a complicated mix of surprise and irritation. These past few days, Khloe had vanished from the Fox Group, leaving Trey scrambling and the company in chaos. Even the Fox family had started stirring trouble.

Angela had assumed Khloe had gone off somewhere frivolous... never expected she was hiding out here, running her own project. Did she really think she could go solo, without the Fox Group backing her? Angela scoffed under her breath. Khloe was pressed for time and didn't even want to acknowledge Angela She gave Angela a cold glance, as if the other didn't exist. "Khloe, you don't even bother greeting your old mentor?" Angela's voice was calm, but loud enough for everyone around to hear. The manager walking beside Khloe and Angela's reception staff both froze in surprise.

Khloe was a VIP, personally marked for attention and funding by Mr. Hunt. Even if her exact status couldn't be revealed, it was clear she was far from ordinary. The whole building had been instructed not to make a scene, yet everyone would have jumped at the chance to serve her. If this were Khloe's friend... they should be a VIP too. Khloe ignored Angela, but the manager slowed down. "Miss Roswell, do you know her?" "Not really. But this industry's so desperate now, anyone dares to call themselves someone else's mentor." Khloe's soft laugh carried just enough weight to sting.

It felt like a quiet slap across Angela's face. Angela's cheeks flared red. She hurried up to stand directly in front of Khloe. "Khloe, what are you playing at? Oh, are you too embarrassed to talk to me because you lost your job over your little feud with Trey?" Her smile was forced, her tone light, but every word dripped with hostility. Everyone around realized immediately-they were not friends, "What did you just say?" Khloe raised an eyebrow, feigning innocent confusion as if she truly didn't understand. Angela forced herself to remain calm, keeping her temper in check.

"I'm trying to be reasonable here. Trey has spoiled you for years. Everything you know, every skill you have, the Fox Group built in you. Did you really think anyone would acknowledge you after leaving the Fox Group?" She glanced at the contract Khloe held. If Khloe had genuinely arranged the investment on her own, she would be in the conference hall negotiating details-the signing process alone took hours. It wasn't something you finished in minutes with a quick signature. 1/2 Chapter 70 +25 Bonus Angela, however, represented the Fox Group today.

Since Khloe's project and network ignored her, she would simply approach a larger investment institution herself. Fortune favored the determined-her project had already sparked some interest, and today she'd been invited for detailed talks. But she hadn't informed Trey yet. He had criticized her previous efforts, and she planned to surprise him with the results once everything was settled. Seeing Khloe clutch the contract, Angela assumed she was trying to preempt her, to grab credit in front of Trey. She reached out to snatch it-but Khloe didn't give her the chance.

Her hand came away empty, and she nearly stumbled. 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
