Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire's Match: Kabanata 1061 - Kabanata 1070

Trey's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her, unblinking."Something we owe you?" he ground out through clenched teeth, word by word. "Khloe, do you even have a conscience? Was I ever not good enough to you? I was ready to abandon Angela—for you. I was ready to abandon my own son! And yet, you ended up with Nick at some point behind my back…"Khloe, after betraying me like this, don't you owe me anything at all?"Khloe looked at him and let out another faint, contemptuous laugh.The man in front of her was so ridiculous she didn't even feel the need to argue further.She simply picked up the glass of water in front of her and took a slow sip.That composed, unbothered gesture felt like a blade, carving into Trey's heart again and again."Do you know how I've lived these past few months?" His voice began to tremble. "Every time I close my eyes, I see my grandmother lying there. Every time I open them, I hear my father's groans. Every time I walk down the street, I feel people p

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not very good at begging. Besides, Olympus isn't qualified to make me beg."I have billions in assets under my name. Add in the Hunt Group—why would I ever truly fear a foreign company? Trey, at worst, let's see who ends up completely wiped out in Goldmont City first."Her voice wasn't loud, but the pressure behind every word was unmistakable.Of course, Trey knew it too—Olympus relied on capital and influence from Yustonia, but its real power was still far from that of the Morrison and Hunt Groups. If they went head-on, Olympus didn't actually hold much of an advantage.And in truth, these business stalemates weren't what he cared about. Win or lose in the market meant nothing to him. The only person he wanted to break was Khloe."So what you're saying is—Nick's life or death doesn't matter to you either?""Of course it matters," Khloe replied calmly. "If it weren't for Nick, you wouldn't even have the qualification to sit here and negotiate wit

Khloe's subtle reaction did not escape Nick's notice, but he didn't seem to mind. He held her firmly in his arms."I've been waiting for you for a long time," he said softly. "You're really late today."Of course, Khloe knew he had been waiting. Although she said she was busy, Nick had kept sending her messages. Not wanting to make him anxious, she could only reply perfunctorily a few times.Later, when his messages stopped, she had assumed he had finally fallen asleep from exhaustion.She hadn't expected him to still be waiting—holding on, forcing himself to stay awake for her.Khloe leaned in his arms without speaking.After a moment, he loosened his hold and looked down at her face."What's wrong?" he asked. "You look pale."She shook her head. "Nothing. Just a little tired.""You can't overwork yourself while pregnant. What exactly is so important that it took this long?"He didn't want to press her, but her condition made him genuinely worried."It's just company matter

Ariana shook her head, and Trey immediately pulled her back into his arms, soothing her in a soft, gentle voice.Yet, being comforted like this only made her feel more uneasy.Every word he spoke came so naturally. Every expression was perfectly composed. As if he were already familiar with this—already knew exactly how to respond to her doubts."Dinner tonight?" he asked before they left. He held her hand as she adjusted his tie and spoke softly. "I'll introduce you to my friends. Let them properly meet you."Looking at the tenderness on his face, the unease in Ariana's heart finally seemed to settle.She nodded. "Alright."Perhaps she was overthinking it. Trey cared about her so much—how could he… not love her?That evening, at a luxurious private restaurant in central Goldmont City.By the time Ariana arrived, Trey's friends were already there.A group of his old classmates—men and women alike—were gathered around him, chatting animatedly about something. The moment Ariana

Trey irritably glanced toward the private room. "Such a sudden move isn't appropriate. I've already sent someone to handle it—give it two more days.""And what about the list of Lacuna members?" Khloe asked again."I can't afford to provoke Lacuna. I can't give it to you for now.""So you're breaking your promise?""I said, for now!" Trey gritted his teeth.His fists tightened. He knew very well the woman on the other end of the line wanted nothing more than to see him dead, yet he still had to force himself to negotiate with her. Even he felt stifled by how humiliated he was."But I don't have patience. If I don't see the list tonight… then perhaps I should come find you instead?"Khloe spoke softly.Before Trey could respond, she had already reported the location of the restaurant where he was."Khloe!"Trey flew into a rage, but just as he was about to explode, the call had already been cut off.In the private room, Ariana had been waiting for a long time, glancing repeat
