Chapter 741

Author: Tangy Candy
"No, it's fine." Khloe swallowed the bite in her mouth and waved her hand.

Then she picked up another piece and offered it to Lenny.

"You must be hungry too. Try this."

Lenny didn't refuse. He reached out and took the pastry, following her lead as she continued eating.

In a very short time, Khloe had eaten three pastries. She looked calm, almost effortless—but the quiet persistence of it made everything feel heavy, almost painful.

Lenny joined her, taking large bites himself, simply wanting

    Moreover, Michelle had come back this time solely to help Nick.Seeing Khloe's firm expression, Lenny didn't press the issue further, silently hoping Michelle wouldn't betray the trust Khloe had placed in her.That evening, after finishing her work for the Hunt family, Khloe returned to the Hunt estate. She had avoided visiting Loretta and Leon for days, worried that the memories might stir her emotions and affect her fragile state. But now, having regained some composure, she felt she could no longer delay the visit.Arista had prepared a sumptuous dinner, knowing Khloe would come. Even George had arrived early, unusually helping in the kitchen with utensils.Yet, when the table was set, there was one extra place setting."Wasn't Nick supposed to be on a business trip? Is he coming home tonight?" Loretta's eyes brightened at the sight.Arista quickly shot George a glance. He hesitated, then instructed a servant, "I took too many utensils. Remove the extra set. Nick won't be back

    Lenny parted his lips, silently chiding himself. Had he just said the wrong thing? He hoped it wouldn't lead to some messy misunderstanding……That afternoon, Khloe asked Lenny to deliver some documents to Michelle.Just as he stepped out of the garage, he caught sight of a familiar figure exiting the hotel lobby. His heart skipped a beat—it was Angela.What was she doing here? Could she be looking for Michelle?Lenny's gaze instinctively sharpened, searching for clues when he spotted Michelle."Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"Michelle's eyes flicked up from the documents, catching his gaze. Though she had been annoyed with him before, after what he said in the car… she decided to let it slide, for Nick and Khloe's sake."Nothing," Lenny quickly looked away, rubbing the bridge of his nose.Michelle raised her head. "Alright, I got the documents. You can go now.""Michelle…""What?"Lenny hesitated, then finally spoke. "Did you just see s

    Why was she so fixated on a mere assistant?After lunch, Khloe had Michelle escorted back to her hotel by Lenny. Before parting, Khloe emphasized once more: under no circumstances should the news about Nick's accident leak before the bidding ended.Michelle, still shaken from almost being led into a trap by Angela, nodded earnestly. "Don't worry," she promised. For Nick, this time, she would follow Khloe's orders without question.On the ride back, Michelle noticed Lenny was unusually tense. He barely spoke, barely made eye contact as she got in and out of the car. Whenever their eyes met, he would quickly look away, as though she were some untamable beast.By the time they arrived at Michelle's hotel, Lenny silently unlocked the car, waiting for her to step out without a word."You really hate me that much?" Michelle finally asked, unable to hold back.Lenny froze. "What do you mean? I wouldn't dare—""You wouldn't dare? Every time you see me, you act like I'm plotting against

    Khloe didn't respond to Angela's words. Instead, she let a mocking smile play across her lips—a smile that landed like a slap, sharp and heavy, across Angela's face.Angela's brows furrowed in frustration. She was being held firmly, unable to struggle or move.Michelle stepped forward, her tone cool and teasing. "Now I see what it means to be a villain who complains first. 'Ruthless'? Don't flatter yourself by calling yourself that—you're so far past it that even that word is an insult.""Khloe," Angela continued, teeth gritted, "I heard Nick is gravely ill… I'm genuinely worried for you. You finally got married, and now—are you already starting your widowhood?"The words made Angela's blood boil, but she knew squabbling with Michelle was pointless. She pressed on, speaking slowly and deliberately toward Khloe.But Khloe loosened her grip on Angela's face slightly, her lips curling into an even sharper, colder smile. Angela's insults didn't even register as an emotional ripple.W

    As Angela spoke, Michelle couldn't help but furrow her brows.She had heard about Khloe's past, not in full detail, but enough to know how disgustingly vile Angela and Trey had been. Michelle had assumed that anyone with such a notorious reputation wouldn't even dare show their face in Goldmont City anymore. Yet, here was this woman, not only back in the city, but now part of Solara Energy. And she had the nerve to put on a fake apology? It was like she was deliberately trying to make people sick.Michelle glanced at Khloe and felt a grudging respect for her composure."'Sharing the same misfortune'? You really know how to polish your own halo," Khloe said, her tone dripping with cold amusement.Angela attempted to step forward, only to have several security guards grab her arms, waiting for Khloe's command.Michelle scoffed, unable to hold back. "I've seen some despicable people, but you… you take the cake. Khloe, you've had it rough, that's for sure."A faint smile curved Khl

    Michelle immediately understood Khloe's intention.Since she herself had a public welfare image, simply standing on the Hunt Group's side carried some potential backlash. But if the goal was to expose Solara Energy's flaws, then it was beyond reproach.Michelle and Khloe talked for a long time. When the office door opened again, Lenny was still standing closely by the frame. Seeing the two of them emerge, he straightened immediately.Michelle, as if she had expected this, lifted her chin and shot a sly look at Lenny. "Khloe, have you really thought about changing your assistant?""Michelle, I actually think Lenny is quite good. And… it seems to me that you quite like him?" Khloe smiled, as though she'd noticed a small clue, her gaze flicking between Lenny and Michelle.Since when had a young lady like Michelle started worrying over an assistant?"He? Me? How could I possibly like him?" Michelle blurted, her cheeks instantly warming with embarrassment.Lenny, taken aback, immedia

    Khloe hadn't expected Nick to still be thinking about it, and she felt deeply moved."They're all unpleasant things," she said softly. "Talking about them would only put you in a bad mood too."Besides, she had no intention of telling Nick about her plans to take revenge on Trey.Nick was nothing

    Michelle's words hit Khloe like a thunderclap.The woman whom Loretta had said Nick almost got engaged to… was Michelle?The information was overwhelming, and it took Khloe a long moment to regain her composure. Though her heart stirred, she trusted what she had seen with her own eyes—Nick would n

    Nick's words struck a deep chord in Khloe.Even if he were just saying them casually, in that moment, it was enough to soothe her sensitive heart.But Khloe didn't know that Nick wasn't speaking lightly.He had heard about the news article that afternoon and immediately acted to remove it from tr

    When Angela saw that it was Trey, a flicker of surprise rose in her heart.Their relationship had cooled noticeably these past few days. Especially after Lauren returned home, Trey barely replied to her messages anymore. All he seemed to think about, day in and day out, was Khloe.Kirsten had advi
