Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 750 Unable to resist Angela's repeated pleas, Barney snorted and shook his head. "You're already here. How could | send you away?" "Really?" "Eat first." He handed her a fork, and only then did Angela lift her face and smile. During the meal, Barney casually asked a few questions about Khloe. Angela knew Khloe well and spoke candidly about her skills and areas of expertise, but when it came to Khloe's personality and working style, she clammed up several times, saying little. Barney seemed to notice this. "Back when Trey deceived you two, he must have seen Khloe's abilities.

Someone like her... doubt she'd be content just playing the dutiful wife forever. "Mm," Angela murmured. "She has no plans to have children, and her personality is quite strong... Even with Pete, it's either strict or harsh. As for Trey's family and me... even worse." ---- She trailed off, bowing her head, choking back emotion. "But that's my fault too. | let love cloud my judgment. Khloe's revenge on me is deserved. The difference is, she's far more cunning, taking her vengeance quietly behind the scenes.

So for this bidding, you must be careful of her methods." Eventually, the conversation circled back to Barney himself. He considered Angela's words but saw Khloe as straightforward rather than manipulative-otherwise, she wouldn't have been so blunt with him earlier. He didn't respond to Angela's warning, instead saying, "I think her feelings for Nick seem very deep." Angela's voice dropped. "Deep feelings? I'm not sure about that. But | do know her emotions develop quickly. Even when she was still with Trey, she got married to Nick." Barney stiffened.

He didn't know the full story between Khloe and Trey. But by timeline alone, Khloe's acquaintance with Nick was shorter than her time with Trey. Perhaps Angela was right-maybe Khloe wasn't as devoted as. she appeared. But that wasn't Barney's focus. "Khloe and Nick are newlyweds, right in the clingy, honeymoon stage. If she can set aside Trey for Nick, it proves the person ---- she values most now is Nick. Acting on his behalf for the bid is the same logic." "But | still don't understand. How could Nick hand over such an important matter entirely to her? | heard rumors he had some incident.

What kind of serious issue would force him to stay completely out of sight, not even appear publicly?" Angela blinked, blurting, "What happened? Could he... be dead?" Her words hung in the air. Both she and Barney fell silent, exchanging a look. Angela had merely spoken from instinct, based on Barney's expression, but it seemed she had struck close to the truth. He appeared to be thinking the same thing. "But such a major matter... why hasn't there been a single sign? Nick was fine... how could something happen so suddenly..." Angela's shock was evident. "They deliberately blocked the news.

Naturally, nothing would leak. And at a critical moment like this, keeping it hidden even for a day is essential," Barney said coldly. "| heard that after Nick's severe injury, he never fully recovered I'm not sure if it's related. Recently, neither of them has been in the country, and the rumors I've heard come from Naraida-they say he was gravely ill."
