Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 711 When she called, Barney didn't pick up. Angela assumed he had already gone to bed. The butler replied promptly, "Miss Thompson, Mr. Lemont is still in the study, seeing a guest." "A guest? This late? Who could it be?" Angela asked as she headed back to her room to change. The butler held her things and answered, "A private investigator." Angela's eyes darkened. "About his sister?" The butler nodded She casually asked about any progress, but the butler admitted he didn't know.

Barney had been searching for his sister for many years, though recently the frequency of contacts had clearly increased-there seemed to be a lead. Since returning to Jayelle City, Angela had thrown herself into her work, determined to prove her capabilities again. But the damage Khloe and Trey had caused her was unforgettable. Still, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Once her wings were fully grown, when she returned to Goldmont City, she would take back everything Khloe had stolen-and then some. ---- For now, her only pillar against Khloe was Barney.

He harbored feelings for her, but there was no real relationship between them. Angela had been attentive to him these past weeks, and their connection had warmed quickly. Yet, no matter how much she hinted or pushed, Barney hadn't shown any intention of taking things further. Was it that men don't cherish what they already have, or was Barney deliberately holding back, testing her? Angela couldn't tell. But she wouldn't rush. One day, she would have him openly and completely. After changing, Angela went straight to the study. Bamey's sister had always been a thom in his side.

Solara Energy's plan to expand a branch in Goldmont City was, in part, motivated by Barney's search for her. Angela had quietly made inquiries, hoping to become his aide in the matter. If she could help him find his sister, marrying him would practically be inevitable. "Is this lead reliable... Good... Thank you for your trouble." Angela had just reached the study door when she heard Barney's voice from inside. He was clearly finishing up, sending someone off. She stepped back and waited, planning to pretend it was a chance encounter when the guest left.

---- Seeing her arrive, Barney naturally smiled. "You're back." "Mm. | couldn't get through to you on the phone." "Sorry, | was in the middle of something and didn't notice." He spoke to her before turning to the middle-aged man ina suit standing beside him, briefcase in hand, glasses on, expression serious. The man nodded toward Barney and Angela and was led away by a maid. "Have you eaten?" Barney stepped forward, linking his arm with hers, his voice soft Angela nodded. "I had a meal at the office, but | was worried you hadn't.

You don't eat regularly, and your stomach isn't good-you have to take care of yourself." Her words warmed Barney's heart. "Don't worry, I've eaten too." Angela led him into the living room, draped her hands over his shoulders, guided him to sit, and began gently massaging him. "Any news about your sister?" "Mm, yes. There's very promising news. We might be able to find her soon." Barney relaxed slightly, but then he grasped Angela's arm and ---- drew her to sit beside him. "You work so hard. You don't need to do this for me."
