Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 708 Michael spoke with an unusually light and joking tone. Since completely letting go of everything tied to his family, he had become nothing in name-but he was also free of all restraints. Instead, his mood felt easier than ever. Winnie looked at him, her eyes full of sweetness. Yet inside, her emotions were tangled, and her heart ached for him even more.

"Then why do you have so much time today, coming to have lunch with me?" After a moment's thought, she asked, "Is there something you wanted to talk about?" "So you noticed." Michael smiled and leaned forward slightly as she tugged at him. "| didn't actually come here just for you. | wanted to ask around about Khloe." "Khloe... did something happen to her?" Winnie was concerned the moment her name came up. Earlier, Khloe had even asked Michael to help investigate something, Was she all right in Naraida? ---- Now that they were family, Michael trusted Winnie and didn't hide anything from her.

He told her that Khloe had not been having a peaceful time with Henry these days. The old man had tried to break her and Nick apart, and the two of them had likely been set up again by someone with ulterior motives. As for who that person was, Michael didn't need to say it out loud. Winnie already knew. She slapped the table. "Does Clarice ever stop? How can she be so despicable? If she has the ability, she should compete with Khloe fair and square within the Morrison Group! Instead, she uses underhanded tricks and plays dirty!" "You're right.

She really is frightening," Michael said, nodding. He still hadn't managed to reach Khloe when he went to see Charlotte that morning. Only just now, while waiting for Winnie, had he finally received Khloe's call Her voice had sounded weak, and he learned what had happened on her end. Clarice had hired killers. Nick had disappeared trying to save her, and his fate was unknown. Hearing this, Michael felt an indescribable mix of anger and pain. ---- Even so, he first passed on the information Khloe wanted and urged her to pull herself together.

If she collapsed, then Nick's sacrifice would be in vain. Both the Morrison and Hunt families needed Khloe now, and the family members who cared about her would not want to see her fall apart. Comforting her was one thing-but in a moment like this, who could truly pull themselves together? Michael knew that if it were him, if the person he loved had sacrificed themselves for him, he would sink far deeper into despair than Khloe ever could. Yet, Khloe's voice on the phone had sounded remarkably calm.

Even in that state, she had still called him personally, worried he might be anxious, and told him to look after Winnie and keep an eye on the Morrison Group. She was clearly forcing herself to hold on. However, Khloe apparently did not yet know that he and Winnie were married. Michael felt it was not the right time and didn't bring it up. "When we catch Clarice, she must pay in blood! We can't let her off lightly!" ---- Winnie clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. Michael patted her shoulder. "Her ending won't be a good one. | just never imagined she could be so vicious.

| always thought... she and Uncle Niel truly loved each other..." "What nonsense are you talking about? How could that woman possibly love Niel?" Winnie shot back immediately. In her anger, she even pulled her hand away from his. "| think she only wanted to take advantage of the Morrison family's power. Otherwise, why would she rather not have children and still insist on marrying Niel?" Michael couldn't help but laugh. "What you said makes sense too. But I don't think Uncle Niel would be so foolish as to be deeply in love with a woman who doesn't love him."
