Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 757 Khloe's heart pounded violently, and before she realized it, tears had already streamed down her face. After a long while, she finally managed to steady her emotions, but sleep was impossible now. At noon, Khloe received a message. It was from Henry. Clarice had returned to Goldmont City. When they met again, Clarice did not look nearly as miserable as Khloe had imagined. She wore no makeup. Her appearance was much plainer than usual, yet her skin was carefully maintained. She didn't look her age at all.

In fact, compared to the times when she dressed elegantly and expensively, she now appeared even more gentle and approachable Clarice had been extradited back to the country. The police overseas had not managed to locate her; instead, she had turned herself in voluntarily and specifically requested to meet Khloe. The meeting place was not a police station but a hotel room. Officers from both countries stood guard outside. ---- Because there was insufficient evidence to formally charge Clarice with hiring someone to commit murder, she was currently being detained pending trial.

Her lawyer had secured her release on bail, though her freedom was restricted for the time being. Khloe had thought that when she saw Clarice again, she would remain calm. But to her surprise, her entire body began trembling uncontrollably. For a brief instant, countless bloody images flashed through her mind. Nick's life-it would have to be repaid with blood. Lenny stood beside Khloe. When he noticed the change in her expression, he quickly whispered, "Madam, don't act impulsively. Clarice had deliberately returned to turn herself in and request this meeting.

There had to be something suspicious behind it Besides, there was still no conclusive evidence against her. Inside the hotel room were lawyers and police officers. Clarice even had an assistant by her side, attending to her. "Khloe, we meet again. Have you been well these past few days? ---- Clarice spoke first, greeting her casually. Seeing the murderous look in Khloe's eyes, she seemed almost pleased. Khloe's fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles cracked. Her lips moved slightly, and after a long pause, she finally let out a cold laugh. A metallic taste filled her mouth.

"I've been doing quite well," she said. "But | imagine things haven't been going so well for you. | thought you'd run off to the ends of the earth. | didn't expect you to be so eager to seek your own downfall." "Run?" Clarice asked provocatively, raising an eyebrow. "Why would | run? | was merely caught up in an attack while | was in Naraida and falsely accused of crimes that don't even exist.

| came back voluntarily to cooperate with the police from both countries and clear my name." Her words were like a poisoned blade, stabbing straight into Khloe's heart, Khloe suddenly stepped forward, but Lenny grabbed her arm tightly and held her back. "Madam! Stay calm!" Cold sweat beaded along Lenny's temple. Khloe stared at Clarice with murderous intensity. If looks could kill, Clarice would already have been cut into a thousand pieces. ---- "Clarice," Khloe said coldly, "you should have run.

That way, maybe you could've enjoyed a few more days of peace." Khloe knew very well that Clarice was only bluffing. Perhaps the police in Naraida hadn't dared to dig too deeply, but her roots were in Goldmont City. As long as she intended to return here, everything about her would eventually be investigated thoroughly-whether it was this incident or everything she had done before. But right now, Khloe suddenly wished Clarice had never come back. If that were the case, she might already be dead. Clarice knew Khloe now hated her enough to kill her with her own hands.

Henry had already moved against the Davis family. Ethan had been kicked out of Morrison Group. All of Clarice's accounts had been frozen. There was even a massive bounty on her head circulating on the black market. If she hadn't shown herself, Khloe might really start believing she had already won.
