Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 95 "I heard your engagement party went quite well," Ethan said, "Nick must be very pleased with you, huh?" It was only a few words, but every one of them carried an edge. There was an ongoing investment project involving the Hunt Group. What Ethan was really saying was clear enough-Khloe had gotten ahead thanks to Nick. Maybe she hadn't relied on the Morrison Group, but if she was leaning on Nick, it still looked bad. Even if that didn't technically break the profit-sharing agreement, people would talk.

No one knew whether Nick had simply invested a sum-or had been helping her all along. "Ethan," Khloe said evenly, "I led my own team and cleaned up your mess fair and square. Not only did I not get a word of thanks, now you're questioning my competence? That's disheartening. Why don't you call Nick and ask him yourself-see whether he invested in the project or in me.' Her calm, deliberate words stripped away the polished veneer of his sarcasm, leaving him momentarily embarrassed. Ethan smiled thinly. Of course, he wasn't going to call Nick. "This is an internal matter," he said lightly.

"No need to drag him into it. You misunderstand me, Khloe. This project was executed extremely well, and I appreciate your effort." As he spoke, he tapped a few times on his phone-activating the profit agreement. He turned the screen toward her. "Once the process is finalized, you'll officially have company privileges." Khloe gave him a cold glance. "I look forward to working with you." He smiled faintly as she walked out. The moment she was gone, his expression fell away, replaced by something unreadable. He picked up his phone and called Clarice.

765 Now that the project had finally wrapped up, to celebrate, Khloe reserved a private fine-dining restaurant downtown-luxurious, over a thousand per head. But just as she arrived, before stepping through the doors, her phone rang. "Khloe, are you busy right now?" It was Loretta. Her voice sounded frail, thinner than usual. Khloe immediately picked up on it. "Not at all, I just finished work," she said quickly. "What happened?" "I was alone at home today," Loretta said softly. "I had a little fall..." Khloe's heart clenched. "Is it serious?

Are you okay?" The old woman hurried to reassure her. It was just a minor injury to her lower back, the family doctor was already there, the maids too-nothing to worry about. It was just that Leon had gone out to meet some friends, and Nick wouldn't be home until late. She couldn't move much, and wanted someone to talk to, though she hesitated to bother Khloe. 1/2 Chapter 95 +25 Bonus "I'll come right over," Khloe said before Loretta could protest. She didn't even have to think about it. Loretta had always been kind to her-so kind she never knew how to repay it.

Now that she was hurt, there was no way Khloe could stay away. She turned to her team with an apologetic smile. "You guys enjoy dinner. I'll cover everything else later, any follow-up events for tonight too." Though a little disappointed, everyone understood. There would be other nights to celebrate together. At 10:30 p.m., Hunt Estate, Nick strode in urgently, pulling off his coat as he crossed the threshold. "How's Grandma?" "She's fine now, sir," the maid said, taking the coat from his arm. "Resting in her room. And-Miss Roswell is here too." At the mention of Khloe, his steps faltered.

Inside the bedroom, Khloe sat by the bed, leaning close as she chatted with Loretta. Whatever they were talking about sent both women into laughter-the soft, warm kind that drifted past the doorway and filled the quiet house with something bright. "What's so funny?" Nick asked. "I'd like to hear it too.".
