Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 810 Lucas said, "We've got people watching both the Morrison family villa and Khloe's contacts. As for the re: Il we can do is conduct a citywide search. It's possible Khloe just went somewhere on her own. She might show up again soon." The moment he finished speaking, he was struck silent by Nick's gaze. He had said the wrong thing. If Khloe had left on her own, she would have left some trace behind. If there was no news anywhere in the city, it could only mean one thing... something had happened to her. Nick's breathing suddenly grew heavy. A dull pain tightened in his chest.

He forced himself to endure it, cold sweat breaking out along his temples. "Nick..." "It's all my fault..." His voice was muffled, his stomach churning as the faint metallic taste of blood rose in his throat. Still, he swallowed it down. At a moment like this, his body had no right to fail him. After a brief pause, he pulled out the IV needle from his hand, ---- grabbed a heavy coat, and moved to leave Lucas caught his arm. "Nick, you shouldn't exert yourself in your condition. Let's wait for news." "She's in danger." "know, but-" "She's my life.

How am | supposed to wait?" Nick's low voice carried raw desperation. The words burst out so suddenly that Lucas was left stunned, His lips parted, but whatever argument he had prepared died on his tongue. Nick truly valued Khloe too deeply. So deeply that both his strength and his vulnerability stemmed from her. Frowning, Lucas found the man before him both familiar and strangely foreign. Had he ever truly known him? How could someone so outwardly cold lose himself so completely for the sake of love?

That evening, Clarice returned to the Morrison family villa But almost immediately, Lenny and Charlotte arrived with the police, blocking her at the car door. ---- Khloe had been missing for a full day and night. Before leaving the previous morning, she had told Lenny she was going to meet Clarice. Charlotte was also a witness. Although the police had no concrete evidence yet, their investigation confirmed that the last person Khloe had spoken to before disappearing was indeed Clarice.

In addition, Khloe had contacted a lawyer late the night before, arranging for numerous important documents to be delivered. Upon verification, the documents were notarized contracts concerning Morrison Group's assets. It appeared Khloe intended to transfer all the inheritance in her name to Clarice. Watching the group glare at her with suspicion, Clarice curled her lips in amusement. She finally understood what game Khloe had been playing. After Khloe contacted her the night before last, Clarice had already coordinated with Spence's people.

As long as Khloe finished preparing everything, they would make her disappear in what appeared to be an accident. Clarice herself would narrowly survive the incident, thereby eliminating suspicion. ---- As for what came afterward-once she obtained Morrison Group and everything belonging to Niel, money would take care of the rest. After all, once Khloe was dead, no one would trouble her again. So Clarice arranged to meet Khloe at a remote mountain estate. What she hadn't expected was that when the agreed time arrived, Khloe never showed up.

At first, Clarice assumed she had simply broken the appointment at the last minute. Instead, Khloe sent the contracts. However, Clarice received only one contract at a time, each signed and stamped, delivered at two-hour intervals. There were twenty-three contracts in total. Khloe demanded that before all were delivered, she must see Nick return safely. Otherwise, she would expose all of Clarice's crimes. At first, Clarice thought Khloe had gone insane.
