Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 834 Niel had treasured the Heart of the Gemstone so dearly and acquired it simply to coax a smile from his wife. Once Khloe understood the full story, she immediately contacted the lawyer. She remembered that among Niel's estate, there was one item-the Heart of the Gemstone, stored at an auction house, valued at thirty million dollars, which he had entrusted Khloe to keep on his behalf. As expected, when Khloe opened the safe, the Heart of the Gemstone sat inside, and beneath it lay the letter Niel had written to Clarice.

The Heart of the Gemstone had always been meant for Clarice. But inside it, there were also two unregistered patents from Morrison Group-core biotechnology innovations developed by Niel and Clarice together. Everything-this single gemstone plus the two patents-was enough to secure Clarice's wealth and comfort for several lifetimes. Seeing this, Khloe suddenly understood Niel's heart. His feelings for Clarice had been deeper than anyone could have imagined. Niel and Clarice had very different visions.

If Clarice continued ---- to inherit Morrison Group, her path might not be as smooth as she imagined. Most likely, the rest of her life would be spent fighting for the company and the Morrison family with everything she had. As aman, Niel could not bear to see the woman he loved struggle alone. But with the patents, Clarice could choose freely -whether to continue the business or pursue the life she truly desired. Niel had also anticipated the characters of both Khloe and Clarice. That was why he had entrusted the company to Khloe.

He knew she had no influence, a sudden returnee and an illegitimate daughter; without control over the company in her hands, she might easily be bullied in the Morrison family and in Goldmont's circles. A faint rustle broke the silence. Khloe lifted her gaze slowly. The crumpled letter had slipped to the edge of the table. Clarice sat there, hands clenched, eyes tightly shut. A single tear traced a path down to the comer of her mouth. She breathed shallowly, trembling all over. Khloe finally spoke, telling her the true inheritance Niel had left.

Her voice was soft, deliberate-almost like a slow, surgical incision. Clarice could no longer contain her emotions. "Enough! Stop! | ---- don't want to hear it!" "Don't want to hear it? And yet... haven't you gotten the answer you've been searching for?" Khloe's gaze was cold, her lips without even a hint of a smile. She looked down at Clarice, anger still flaring inside her, yet tinged with sorrow. "The answer | want... hah." Clarice's sudden cold laugh turned into something more, spiraling into manic hysteria. She laughed louder and louder, tears streaming in heavy drops.

That bastard, Niel. He never lost! He never lost, not once! Yet he made her lose utterly, completely! Why... why, after discovering he had never truly betrayed her, did she feel more pain than ever before? "You hate my father, don't you? Now that you know the truth, shouldn't you feel relief?" Khloe stood, looking down at her calmly. Clarice ignored her. She snatched up Niel's letter, face flushed, and tore it to pieces. "You lied to me! You wanted me to suffer, didn't you? Khloe, ---- you're dreaming!

You and your father-both of you-are utterly hypocritical, heartless, and ruthless!" Her fury propelled her forward, but officers immediately restrained her. Khloe's voice was cold. "Clarice, you could have trusted my father. He did so much for you. If you had even the slightest bit of gratitude, you wouldn't have gone this far into madness. But you've always only trusted yourself. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say... you've lived in darkness for too long, so even when faced with light, you cannot adjust."
