Chapter 899

Author: Tangy Candy
"Your parents…" Charlotte's eyes flickered, and for a moment, words failed her.

"I didn't want to come alone, and I don't really have any better friends… so I forced you to come with me," Ethan said quietly.

Before Charlotte could respond, he added, almost as an afterthought.

Charlotte pressed her lips together and nodded in silence.

Two hours later, the car pulled up in the outskirts, in front of a quiet, modest cemetery.

It was small. Ethan's parents shared a single, narrow headstone. Wil

  • Billionaire's Match   Chapter 952

    Just as Lenny escorted Nick and Khloe to the dedicated security checkpoint, Khloe called out to stop him."Let's part here, Lenny."She glanced at the other assistants and staff accompanying them. The luggage Lenny had been carrying was immediately taken from his hands.But Lenny was completely confused. "Madam… what do you mean?""It means you're staying. You won't be coming with us to Swinterland," Nick spoke calmly as he stepped closer, studying Lenny for a moment before lifting his hand to pat him lightly on the shoulder.Lenny's suit was as impeccably pressed as ever.Thinking about it, Nick realized he had never seen him dressed any other way. From the very first day Lenny joined the Hunt Group and began working at his side, he had strictly followed Nick's habits and standards in every detail."Sir… did I do something wrong?"Lenny was stunned. All these years, no matter where Nick went, he had followed like a shadow."No. I just have something I need you to handle this

    After settling everything at the Morrison Group, Khloe could finally leave with peace of mind.When she stepped out of the office building, the car was already waiting at the entrance.Nick had been sitting inside for quite some time, yet he hadn't made a single call to rush her. He had always been endlessly patient with Khloe—no matter how long he waited, it never felt like too much.After watching Khloe's car drive away, Charlotte suddenly felt as though someone was watching her from behind.She turned around—and across the street, beneath a tree, she caught sight of a familiar figure.The man looked just as he had before. Tall and broad-shouldered, his presence drew attention wherever he stood. He wore a simple hooded sweatshirt, with a black fitted tank underneath.He stood facing forward—directly toward her.Noah!Charlotte's heart began to race.Before she could think, her body moved on instinct.A road separated them, traffic surging back and forth. Before she could re

    Khloe nestled against Nick's chest, finally drifting into sleep. Nick closed his eyes as well, his hands firmly wrapped around her shoulders, as if holding her could anchor his own peace.Lenny sat alone nearby. The night was deep, yet sleep eluded him entirely.…The next day, at noon, on the top floor of the Morrison Group building, a shareholder meeting wrapped up in the executive conference hall.The doors swung open, and shareholders and executives filed out. Shortly after, an appointment notice was sent via email to all employees.Due to CEO Khloe's indefinite leave, the Vice President, Ethan, would temporarily assume the role of CEO. Michael, as acting director, would oversee the project and R&D departments. Charlotte was promoted to Chief Secretary to assist Ethan.At the same time, the CEO's office gathered its staff. Charlotte and Khloe's original team were present. Ethan, having just completed the reinstatement formalities, limped in.Michael, however, was absent. He

    "You…"Nick had always respected other people's privacy, but this time, he felt a flicker of annoyance toward Lenny.Khloe quickly cut in. "Don't worry about it. If he doesn't want to say, that's fine—it's not a big deal. Lenny, could you pour me a glass of orange juice?""Yes, ma'am." Lenny knew she had just saved him from an awkward moment and immediately went to do as asked.The moment he left, Nick pulled his hand back from Khloe's firm grip with a sigh. "I know him. He must have been… bullied.""By Michelle?" Khloe asked softly.Nick's voice turned cold. "Who else?"Earlier that day, Nick had called Michelle. Michelle, already back in Goldmont City, had rushed to ask after Lenny's condition when she heard he'd taken sick leave. Only then did Nick learn that Lenny had almost drunk himself into alcohol poisoning the night before.But Michelle hadn't wanted to talk. She'd found an excuse to hang up quickly, leaving a faint trace of guilt behind."Lenny's personality is cheer

    Nick had been right—everyone must pay the price for their choices, and everyone has their own struggles shaped by their limitations.It felt as though years of knots in Khloe's heart had finally begun to unravel.She and Barney talked for a long time, until a knock on the door from the bodyguard reminded her that it was time to leave."Khloe," Barney called after her again.She glanced back. He pressed his lips together, the faintest smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Take care of yourself… you're pregnant, so be careful in everything you do.""I will," she said.Before leaving, she straightened the corner of his blanket. "You too."Barney hesitated, reluctant to let her go. "If you can… once you're there, let me know you arrived safely.""Okay."Seeing her nod, a flicker of joy crossed his face. He smiled. "Go on, then. Don't keep Nick waiting."Khloe nodded and glanced at him once more. Words of farewell lingered on her lips, yet still felt awkward. But the air bet

    In the end, Khloe couldn't bring herself to be truly ruthless.Nick had been right—if she couldn't let go, there was no reason to force herself.She couldn't forgive her mother for abandoning her. She couldn't accept that Barney, as her brother, had colluded with Angela against her. Yet, at the same time, she couldn't simply watch a family member die.Before coming to the hospital, Khloe had wrestled with herself. Maybe walking away silently would spare her and Barney the awkwardness of facing each other again. But Nick had seen through her thoughts.He knew what Khloe wanted wasn't decisiveness; she just couldn't untangle the knot in her heart, couldn't persuade herself to confront it."Everyone has their faults and struggles," Nick had said. "You don't have to forgive anyone, and you mustn't be hard on yourself."Her mother's abandonment wasn't forgivable, but it had already doomed her to a life of pain she could not redeem herself from—she had already faced her own reckoning.

    Stella glanced at Lauren. Lauren kept her head lowered and said nothing to stop it—clearly thinking the same thing."There's no need to take it this far. Khloe, she…" Trey paused. "I don't think Khloe would really push things to the bitter end with me."He didn't know why, but the moment Khloe was

    "Say one more word, and I'll send it," Khloe said.Trey swallowed the words stuck in his throat.By now, Khloe had completely stopped trusting him. Talking about feelings would only make things worse. He nodded quickly."Fine. I won't say anything. I'll do whatever you want… You want the shares,

    "I held your birthday party at the Olson Group store today because it was on your wish list. I never expected to run into her there. If that made you uncomfortable, or if it makes you want to call off the engagement, I fully respect your decision," Michael said firmly.Lindsay had originally planne

    "I don't remember anything from last night…"Charlotte bit down hard on her lip. Blood quickly seeped from the corner of her mouth. Ethan's brow creased as he reached out and touched it."It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I remember."He lowered his gaze indifferently, staring at the bri
