Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 722 This time, with Nick gone, Khloe's ties with her grandfather were nearly severed completely. She had come today seeking answers, but he hadn't expected her to leave so soon. Over the past two days, he had instructed Delilah to monitor Khloe's situation. He knew she was still having Ralph search for Nick's whereabouts, apparently planning to stay in Naraida a while longer. He had assumed that her grief would keep her trapped in despair, making it hard for her to regain her resolve quickly. But now... she was leaving without hesitation, "Returning to Goldmont City? So soon?

Is something the matter? Henry asked after a moment, his tone measured. "There are matters to attend to... at the Morrison and Hunt Groups," Khloe replied flatly, then lifted her gaze, her eyes cold and sharp as they met his. Henry fell silent, waiting for her to continue. Khloe did not mince words. "Clarice must die. Not only her, but the entire Davis family must be eradicated." ---- Her voice was calm, but the weight of her words hit like a hammer. "You have close dealings with the Davis family. | imagine you could help your granddaughter with this task," she added, her tone unflinching.

Henry's eyes widened in shock. He blinked rapidly, struggling to believe what he was hearing. She was ordering him? Yet... she was not wrong. He was closely involved with the Davis family. Clarice had married Niel entirely because of his influence. He had seen the Davis family as useful, and Clarice, the neglected daughter, was pliable-eager to prove herself and easy to control. Every lever he had ever applied had been about control. But he had miscalculated. Clarice was insane in ways he hadn't predicted, and now Khloe seemed to be operating on the same fearlessness.

"Clarice is already wanted by the authorities. Moreover, there isn't sufficient evidence linking her to the murder of Nick-only Rick's testimony, which is insufficient for conviction..." Henry began. ---- Khloe cut him off sharply. "She is the murderer. No proof is needed. | only want you to give me a guarantee. Otherwise, | will take Niel's entire fortune and hold you equally accountable. If needed, we will perish together." Henry froze, utterly stunned. Not only was Clarice insane, but Khloe-his granddaughter-had gone mad too. She was threatening him with mutual destruction.

Her resolve was terrifying. Before, she had been willing to sacrifice everything for the Morrison family and for Nick, accepting the consequences. But now, with Nick gone... she left no path of retreat. Khloe drew a steady breath, her tone icy. "I've investigated. Many of the Davis family's businesses rely on your connections. | want them gone. The faster, the better." She had no patience left. The bounty on Clarice had long been posted on the dark web: five million, and countless people were scrambling to provide clues.

Before coming to Henry, Khloe had already handed evidence to international authorities and ensured media coverage of the attack, generating public pressure. Clarice would be erased from society. And if her trail were discovered, Khloe would retaliate in kind-treating her with the ---- same ruthless measure she herself had employed Could Lacuna afford to take on other forces from the entire world's dark side? Perhaps not. But for Clarice, survival was far too lenient a punishment. 1 Nick had investigated her years ago. Khloe understood the Davis family well-it was their soft underbelly.

Clarice had suffered neglect at home but continued to serve the family, trying to prove her worth. Over the years, after securing a foothold in business with the help of the Morrison family, the Davis family had become intertwined with her ambitions. Now that Clarice had escaped, it was the perfect moment for Khloe to show her exactly how a family could be utterly annihilated.
