Chapter 75

Autor: Tangy Candy
Khloe had just felt the round scar on his left shoulder and was sure she’d imagined it. But now, even with his shirt on, she could still make out its faint outline through the fabric. The mark wasn't large, but it looked deep.

For a man like Nick—born with a silver spoon in his mouth—a scar like that was a stark anomaly.

"There was a terrorist attack at a global economic forum a few years back," he said, his voice calm, almost offhand. "I took a bullet to the shoulder."

His tone was casual, a

  • 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

    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 question was blunt, leaving Khloe momentarily startled."It's not that I don't like it, it's just… we—""I've never once had a gift returned to me." Nick interrupted, his voice tinged with a cold authority that made the air seem heavier."Then…""If you don't like it, throw it away." His

    Trey fell silent. Angela crouched beside his chair, her voice a low, persuasive murmur. "Just give me a few more days. If I can't turn things around, then you can offer Khloe the shares. What's the rush?"As long as she was here, that entitled little gold-digger wasn't getting a single percentage p

    Angela strode toward Khloe, balancing a luxury handbag from Trey on her back, a stack of project materials in one hand, and a coffee in the other, flanked by reception staff. It was obvious—she was here to pitch for investment too.Her eyes flicked to Khloe, and for a brief instant, her steps falte

    "They said you haven't been granted company permissions yet, so... for now, their hands are tied."The assistant looked down, his frustration evident from being the one forced to deliver the message.Khloe had been back at the Morrison Group for days, yet the shareholders were giving her the silen
