Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 742 Michelle stepped out and immediately ran into Lenny, who looked like he wanted to crawl onto the doorframe to block her. Her face darkened instantly. "Hey, are you kidding me? Do you think I'm some kind of monster?" Michelle knew exactly why Lenny treated her like this-like she was a thief about to rob a house. Last time, when she was heartbroken and wanted someone to stay with her through the night, this guy had taken every opportunity to twist the knife in her heart.

Even when she boarded the plane, he had found subtle ways to remind her not to ruin Nick and Khloe's happiness. Only after leaving did she realize that Lenny's willingness to stick around was simply because he feared she would refuse to leave. Even a lowly assistant looked down on her like this. Her pride felt utterly shattered. "Miss Keller, |... | was just worried about you," Lenny said, taking a half-step back. His tone was polite, though forced. Michelle gave him a flat look, entirely unconvinced. "Worried I'd eat Khloe?" Lenny froze again, at a loss.

He could handle any challenge at ---- work, but a woman's accusations left him completely defenseless. Fortunately, Khloe had followed them out. "Lenny, escort Miss Keller out, please." "Yes, Madam." Lenny nodded and immediately stepped aside, gesturing for Michelle to lead the way. Michelle ignored him, glanced once at Khloe, and strode off. Lenny hurried to follow. Inside the elevator, with only the two of them, the atmosphere thickened instantly. Michelle suddenly leaned against the wall, head lowered, brushing at the corner of her eyes. She seemed to be crying. Panic surged through Lenny.

"Miss Keller, | really didn't mean anything against you today. | was just..." "Tissue?" Michelle's voice was muffled, almost hollow. Lenny froze for a moment, then fumbled through his pockets and handed her a pack of tissues. The elevator doors opened, and Michelle took the tissues and ---- stepped out without saying another word. Lenny jogged after her. Michelle got into Lenny's car with practiced ease. Once he was seated, she immediately pulled up the address on her phone, showing no intention of conversation. Lenny nodded. Seeing her reddened eyes and tense expression, he dared not speak.

The drive was silent, the air heavy. He casually turned on some music, only to be immediately scolded by Michelle, who demanded it off. He complied, keeping the car quiet. "Why does he love Khloe so much?" Suddenly, Michelle's voice broke the silence. Lenny froze, unsure how to answer. "I'm talking to you," she said, looking at him directly. Lenny stammered. "Uh... well... | honestly don't know, Miss Keller But Mr. Hunt and Madam are a perfect match-they attract each other, support each other through hardships. Their feelings are real and deep." "I'm not asking that! I'm asking you... why...

why would he... risk his life for Khloe..." ---- Her voice broke, and a sob crept in Michelle had friends in Naraida who had heard fragmented reports of Nick's accident. All information was tightly controlled, so she didn't know the full story. She had returned to Goldmont City several days ago but had seen no sign of Nick. With only Khloe managing the Hunt Group affairs, her frustration had finally boiled over, prompting her to find Khloe. Khloe, of course, understood immediately and told her what had happened Michelle knew Nick's world now revolved entirely around Khloe.

Yet, she still couldn't believe it-he could truly risk his life for her. The thought that Nick might already be gone shattered her completely. Sitting across from Khloe moments ago, Michelle had felt her vision darken, her mind blank, unable to process anything.
