Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 705 Ethan seemed not to hear a single word Charlotte said. He leaned close and whispered into her ear, absorbed in himself. His patience with Charlotte was wearing thin. No matter what she was trying to do-whether she meant to entice him or despised him-right now, he wanted her. Desperately. The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. "Then | should thank you," Charlotte said coolly. "But before you think about that, perhaps you should first consider how you're going to explain this to your mother-and how you're going to explain it to Khloe." "Khloe?

Whether Khloe can even come back is another matter. What do | need to explain to her for?" Ethan blurted it out without thinking. Charlotte froze. "What do you mean by that?" Ethan was stunned as well. Seizing the chance, Charlotte shoved him away. "Ethan, what did you mean just now? What happened to Khloe? Did something happen to her?" ---- Seeing her panic, Ethan relaxed instead. He turned and sat down on the sofa at the side, studying her leisurely. "Why are you asking me that? What are we to each other? Why should | answer you?" "You... Charlotte knew he was deliberately playing with her.

He might not actually know anything. Maybe he was just trying to scare her. "Ethan, have you thought about what | told you last time? This is your last chance to make a choice." Her quick wit caught Ethan off guard. It should have been him forcing Charlotte to choose. Instead, she had turned it around on him. Ethan smiled faintly. In truth, he had thought about what Charlotte said before. He and Khloe had no personal grudge. There was no need for a life- and-death struggle.

If he failed to win Clarice's approval, he could simply align himself with Khloe and seek advancement within the Morrison Group. But... Clarice had raised him. He could not bring himself to ---- betray her. What was more, he had already inquired about the situation in Naraida. Clarice would soon force Khloe to give up her rights in the Morrison Group. By then, whether Khloe would even return to 'the Morrison Group would be uncertain. "I can tell you this-something has happened to Khloe. And something has happened to Nick as well." After a moment's thought, Ethan suddenly stood up.

Charlotte immediately grew tense, but before she could ask anything, he continued, "If you want to know more, you'll have to trade something for it. "You only have one thing you can use as bargaining power. I'm free tonight. I'll send you the room number later. Serve me well, and I'll tell you everything you want to know." His gaze swept shamelessly over Charlotte's body, the implication unmistakable. A flush rose to Charlotte's face, and she raised her hand to strike him. Ethan caught her wrist at once. "Then again, you're just a low- level employee.

Even if you knew, what could you do about it? "Even if Khloe is in trouble, could you help her? No matter how ---- sincere you are, to Khloe and Nick, you're completely useless." His words cut deeply into Charlotte. He released her and walked away without looking back, leaving her standing there in a daze. At noon, just as Winnie was about to go to lunch, she received a call from Michael. He said he was nearby and wanted to have lunch with her. Winnie was pleasantly surprised. She quickly reapplied her lipstick, tidied her makeup, and hurried out.

In the elevator, her coworkers looked at her with strange expressions. They kept glancing at her, then lowering their heads to whisper among themselves.
