Chapter 28

Autor: Tangy Candy
Winnie hadn't intervened out of kindness. Earlier, in the restroom, she had overheard Veronica scheming with her friends.

She simply couldn't stand to let Veronica win.

…And besides, Khloe was Michael's cousin.

The memory of how protectively Michael had shielded Khloe the night before—as if Winnie were some kind of threat—still stung.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Olson," Khloe said softly, "but… I think I'll sit here."

Turning back to the table, she pulled out the empty chair and sat down

  • Billionaire's Match   Chapter 1012

    Michael didn't answer. He simply tilted his head and sealed Winnie's lips with his.The living room fell suddenly quiet. Warm golden light from the ceiling spilled over their entwined silhouettes, wrapping them in a soft glow.After a long while, Michael's breathing finally evened out. Only then did Winnie manage to create a small gap between them. Her hand rested around his neck as she asked in a low voice, "Michael, are you not angry anymore?""I am."His answer made her heart sink."Then… what do you want me to do?"Michael lowered his gaze to her.Her eyes were still red, her lips slightly swollen from his kisses. She looked at him helplessly, flustered and uncertain—almost as if she were inviting something.His thumb brushed lightly across the faint mark on her cheek."Winnie."His Adam's apple bobbed, his breath suddenly turning lighter.Confused, she looked at him—but in the next moment, as she met his gaze, realization dawned. Her face flushed instantly."I mean com

  • Billionaire's Match   Chapter 1011

    Winnie was momentarily speechless.Michael continued, "Before I left, I heard you talking to Lucas. I trust you completely, so whatever you choose to do, I won't interfere. But did you think I was some easily fooled idiot?""Michael… I would never think that…"Winnie opened her mouth, but words failed her. She was flustered beyond reason.It was clear Michael was truly angry.For a moment, he couldn't rein in his emotions. Only when he noticed the tears gathering in her eyes did he realize he had been too harsh.He abruptly lowered his head, resting his elbow on his knee, his fist pressed against his brow.Lucas didn't know Michael had been kept in the dark and had assumed they had already discussed everything together. Only at the end did he realize he had misspoken, and could only smooth things over by telling Michael to focus on his own matters, assuring him that Winnie was being taken care of.But to Michael, those words were even more piercing.So she still didn't see him

    Nick smiled faintly, still holding Khloe's hand."Khloe, once these next couple of days of treatment are over, let's go back home."Her eyes stung with tears. She understood what he meant and refused immediately. "No…"What he truly wanted was to be selfish just once—to spend what remained of his life creating the most perfect memories he could. And yet, even that single moment of selfishness, he had given up for her."As long as I'm with you, whatever we do is enough."Khloe shook her head. "Nick, why do you always make this so hard for me…"He didn't answer. He only pulled her closer into his arms.After a moment, he added, "I've already had someone look into Olympus. Since they're based in Yustonia, it won't be easy to uncover anything domestically. You don't need to worry. Even if the sky falls, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."Suddenly, Khloe was reminded of that time in Naraida, when Nick had risked his life to save hers.Unless he died, he would never

    But for now, Lucas still hoped Nick would focus on his recovery. The company's affairs were, in the end, just business competition. Ups and downs were inevitable—nothing prospered forever.Nick shifted slightly inward on the bed and patted the space beside him."Come here."Khloe lay down, and he quickly pulled her into his arms.His hand rested at her waist, his palm naturally settling against her slightly rounded belly.They lay there quietly for a while."How have things been with the Morrison Group lately?" Nick finally asked in a low voice near her ear."Not bad."Khloe closed her eyes, leaning against his chest. His heartbeat was steady, neither fast nor slow."Khloe," he called suddenly."Mm?""Do you… want to go back home?"Khloe's eyes snapped open."Of course not. I want to stay with you. Wherever you are, I'll be there. Didn't we agree on that?"Nick lowered his gaze to her, his eyes dark and unfathomable."But it feels like your mind isn't with me. Ever since

    Khloe had assumed Michael was always with Winnie and would naturally know about all of this.But according to Lucas, Michael had been extremely busy these past couple of days and had even gone out of town today. If he had known what Winnie was planning, he would never have left her side.Winnie hesitated for a moment. "I haven't had the chance to tell him yet, but it's fine. It's all over now anyway."Khloe could already guess the truth. "Didn't have the chance, or chose not to say anything?"Winnie fell silent under the question.It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to hide it from Michael. She just didn't want him to worry—afraid that would make her hesitate and hold back.Perhaps there was also a part of her that wanted to face the Olson family on her own.Michael had always been the one protecting her. This time, she wanted him to see that she was no longer the same as before."Forget it. I'll tell Michael myself. If he gets angry, I'll apologize," Khloe said.Winnie qui

    Winnie nodded, indicating she understood.After leaving the police station, she immediately called Lucas.As if he had been expecting it, he answered almost instantly.Though he wasn't physically present, his subordinates had been reporting the situation to him in real time.Khloe had personally asked him for help—there was no way he would allow anything to go wrong for Winnie.But what Winnie wanted to ask about wasn't anything else—it was Veronica.In the original plan, Veronica hadn't even been part of it. So when Mrs. Olson accused her earlier, she had been genuinely surprised. But this couldn't possibly be a coincidence.Lucas gave a faint smile, neither confirming nor denying. "They're all enemies anyway. Taking care of them together just saves effort. Besides, she brought it on herself."When Mrs. Olson arranged for those men to humiliate Winnie, Veronica had been right there. The mother and daughter were equally malicious.What they didn't know was that the ones contac

    Nick's eyes sharpened, a sudden clarity dawning upon him. Without hesitation, he dialed Khloe's number."Hello?… Mr. Hunt?"At that moment, Khloe was sitting at the table with Grandpa and Grandma Orsen, eating.Hearing the name, the two elders instantly froze, holding their breath, careful not to

    Khloe's fingers had barely brushed the delicate tulle of the white gown when Grandma Orsen guided her toward the mirror, spinning her gently. The elderly woman's eyes lit up."Look at this cut—it suits you perfectly. The shoulders sit just right, and if we take in the waist just a little, it'll be

    As Khloe spoke, she noticed the maid who had just been tending to Loretta sneaking glances at them from the corner.She shot Nick a quick look. He caught it in his peripheral vision but didn't need to turn—he already knew what it meant."My family's always like this," Nick said lightly. "You'll ge

    "Miss Thompson, please head over right away."It wasn't until the staff member reminded her again that Angela finally came to her senses."Alright, I'll go now," she said quickly. "You can get back to work."As soon as the person left, she snatched up her phone and dialed Trey's number.He happe
