Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 811 Not to mention, Khloe had no evidence to support her accusations-but even if only half of the contracts reached Clarice's hands, Morrison Group would have effectively changed ownership. But considering how anxious Khloe was about Nick, and how she dared not appear in person, her judgment might have been clouded Clarice had lingered at the mountain estate all this time. It wasn't until now, when the police presented all of Khloe's contracts and demanded to know her whereabouts, that Clarice finally realized Khloe's strategy. Khloe wasn't doing this for Nick.

This time, she had come for her-targeting Clarice directly. Every piece of evidence was deliberately left behind by Khloe, pointing toward Clarice harming Khloe for personal gain. As long as Khloe remained missing, not only would the contract process be temporarily halted, but Clarice would also be taken in for investigation. Yet, when the police questioned her, Clarice remained slippery and evasive. She insisted she had been on vacation at the estate ---- for the past two days, and the staff there could confirm it-she hadn't seen Khloe at all.

With no solid proof, the authorities had no choice but to take Clarice in for further investigation. Charlotte, growing anxious, couldn't hold back before Clarice left. "Clarice! What goes around comes around! You really think you won't face consequences?" "Consequences?" Clarice snorted, her gaze sharp and provocative as she swept over Charlotte and Lenny. "If there are consequences, where are the ones for those who wronged me?" "You..." "Charlotte, calm down!" Charlotte's anger flared; she practically wanted to lunge at Clarice.

Lenny gripped her arm tightly, holding her back until the police led Clarice away. Compared to Charlotte, Lenny remained remarkably composed. Charlotte glanced at him, baffled. From the very start, she had warned Lenny that Khloe was in danger, yet he had delayed reporting it for an entire day. He seemed so calm, as if everything were merely routine procedure. "Calm? If | stay calm any longer, Khloe might really not come ---- back!" Charlotte yanked her arm free, spat out the words coldly, and stormed off. She wasn't angry at Lenny-she was frustrated at her own helplessness.

She knew her friend was in danger, yet all she could do was watch, powerless... Meanwhile, Michelle had been waiting anxiously for news and hadn't slept all night. It wasn't until Lenny handled Clarice that he returned her call. Michelle, relieved to be able to finally vent, bombarded him with questions. She had assumed someone from Solara Energy's side was targeting Khloe, but she hadn't expected an unexpected stepmother to be involved. Suddenly, she felt a pang of sympathy for Khloe.

Lenny answered Michelle's questions patiently, then gently urged her to rest, reassuring her that Khloe might return tomorrow. Michelle didn't want to say anything negative. She only asked, " Do you need me to do anything?" "For now, you don't need to do anything. Just take care of yourself," Lenny said warmly. "Solara Energy's side is waiting for the right opportunity. Madam still needs your help to advance the work we had planned. The bid is in just two days. Even if ---- she's not present, we should still fight this battle on her behalf." Michelle felt a stir in her chest.

Somehow, a few words from a small assistant could carry such weight. At a crucial moment, Lenny could provide an extraordinary strength. "All right, | understand." After hanging up, Michelle immediately sat at her desk and began refining the advertising outline she and Khloe had previously discussed. Now, sleepiness was gone-better to focus on work than worry The next morning, Charlotte, her dark circles still pronounced, arrived at Morrison Group and was immediately drawn to the crowd surrounding the CEO's office. Through the throng, Ethan emerged, stepping forward.
