Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 704 Just as Charlotte and Michael were talking in the pantry, Ethan suddenly appeared. He was like a hunting dog drawn by scent-whenever something important was happening, he was never absent. The moment they saw Ethan, Charlotte and Michael fell silent. "Well, if it isn't the young master of the Morrison family. What are you chatting about?" Ethan's mocking remark instantly darkened Michael's expression. Charlotte was about to speak when Ethan cut in again, twisting the knife. "Oh, sorry, | forgot. | can't call you the Morrison family's young master anymore.

You've already been expelled from the Morrison family, haven't you?" "Ethan, don't you think that's going too far?" Michael had no interest in arguing with him, but Charlotte was even angrier than Michael himself. Ethan snorted. "Charlotte, I'm talking to Michael. Why are you so worked up? He married Winnie, didn't he? What-are you secretly in love with him?" ---- "Ethan, please don't talk nonsense. | just think that mocking people like this doesn't suit your position." Charlotte swallowed and met Ethan's gaze, a faint spark of anger flickering in her eyes.

Every time she tried to tolerate him, he somehow managed to make himself even more detestable. Ethan pressed his lips together, his face growing darker. From a distance, seeing Michael and Charlotte talking had already stirred up a nameless fire in his chest. The way Charlotte looked at Michael was as if he were some great hero, a savior. But when she looked at him, it was as though he were a scheming devil. And what made Michael so different from him, anyway? Just another pampered heir. That air of elegance was nothing but packaging.

Give him a few days as an ordinary man and he would show his true colors. Yet here he was, putting on airs. Hypocritical. "Charlotte, I'll go first. Call me if you hear anything,' Michael spoke quietly to her and turned to leave. The entire time, he didn't spare Ethan a single glance. As if Ethan were nothing more than air-unworthy of notice. Ethan felt the snub and found it almost amusing. ---- After Michael left, Charlotte wanted to go as well, but Ethan stepped in front of her and blocked her path. "Stop." Charlotte halted. "What is it? It's work hours.

| still have things to do." Ethan took a step closer. His tall figure instantly trapped her in the corner of the pantry. "Work? | saw how absorbed you were just now, chatting about personal matters, What, when Michael shows up, your work can wait?" "Ethan, stop talking nonsense. Michael only came to discuss something. Don't tell me your need for control is so strong that you care about everything | do." Charlotte's words struck home. A flicker of embarrassment crossed Ethan's face.

But then he narrowed his eyes and smiled, the curve of his lips soaking with menace, and reached out to pinch her cheek hard "So, just a few days without being close to me and your heart's already wandering? You've forgotten who you belong to?" "Ethan, please show some respect when you speak." This time, ---- Charlotte didn't indulge him. She slapped his hand away. Ethan didn't get angry. Instead, he grabbed her wrist again, tugged her toward him, and pinned her against his side. His breath closed in, almost brushing her lips. Charlotte twisted her head away.

"Ethan, haven't you learned your lesson yet? Do you really want to leave the Morrison Group for good?" "Why are you playing hard to get with me, Charlotte?" Ethan sneered. "If you like me, just say it. I'm quite interested in you right now. Maybe... I'll even consider trying a relationship with you."
