《Billionaire's Match》全部章節：第 1171 章 - 第 1180 章

"Are you doing okay?"Nick's question came out of nowhere, but Khloe understood exactly what he meant.He was asking about her—and the little one growing inside her.Khloe nodded and answered softly, "I'm doing pretty well.""I heard Barney has been taking care of you.""Mm...""Having family look after you is a good thing. Are the pregnancy symptoms still bad?""Not really. I eat a lot and sleep well."Her answer almost made Nick laugh. He knew she was exaggerating a little, but she wasn't lying.He had stayed in contact with the doctor handling Khloe's prenatal checkups. Even the professional caregiver Barney had hired for her regularly updated him on her condition.Since leaving him, Khloe had only become a slightly lighter sleeper. Everything else remained normal. In fact, her appetite had improved considerably."You really are heartless."Nick let out a low snort. His voice was so faint it was nearly inaudible, yet Khloe heard every word.She didn't argue. Instead, sh

Nick suddenly fell silent.He merely looked at Barney, neither answering nor denying anything.The air around them seemed on the verge of freezing. Even Barney shivered under Nick's chilling gaze.Although Nick's expression remained indifferent, the aura surrounding him was so heavy with resentment that it looked as if someone had dug up his entire family's ancestral graves.Clearing his throat, Barney hurriedly tried to smooth things over."Nick, you know Khloe. She's proud and stubborn. Sometimes, even when she knows she's said the wrong thing or made a mistake... even when she's hurt someone... turning back can be harder than anything. She can't even convince herself to do it."He paused before continuing carefully."At times like that, if someone were willing to offer a way out, maybe both sides could take a step back and find common ground again.""A way out?" Nick repeated. "You mean you want me to beg her to come back?"Barney had been tactful.Nick, however, was anyth

"Trey could never fool Khloe. If he could, Olympus wouldn't be on its last legs so soon," Nick spoke calmly, his voice steady and unhurried, carrying an undeniable confidence.It didn't sound like Nick was putting up a front. Lenny paused, taken aback, still trying to process what he'd just heard."Sir, what exactly are you saying...?""The reason she left me," Nick said, his tone growing heavier, "is precisely because her feelings for me run too deep."A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of his mouth—half amused, half pained. But it only made him look more bitter.Lenny froze for a second, letting out a low grunt from his throat. "Sir..."If the atmosphere hadn't been so tense, he would've sworn Nick was making a dark joke."Sir, forgive my dullness, but I don't quite follow."Lenny frowned. He genuinely didn't get it."Have you ever heard the saying, 'Deep love does not last'?" Nick asked, his tone leisurely.Lenny nodded. "I have."Nick continued, "Lo

"The Morrison Group? How could they do something like this? Weren't they supposed to be one of the country's most ethical companies? They were literally partnering with the Hunt family on public welfare projects!""A lot of companies do charity work just to cover up their dirt. And let's be real—businesses are in it for the profit. The Morrison Group is no exception!""But I really don't think Khloe is that kind of person. Call me biased, but she's always struck me as such a strong, positive figure...""You can't judge a book by its cover. Word is, Khloe was the one who brought in the banned substance. The Morrison Group's been secretly manufacturing it, and they say the drug's already been produced."After the news broke about the Morrison Group's alleged illegal drug manufacturing, public opinion split down the middle, with people going back and forth in heated debates.The Morrison Group had long enjoyed a solid reputation in Goldmont City, and many refused to believe Khloe wou

Because the Morrison Group had contributed significantly to national development over the years—and after Khloe took over, she'd further reduced profit margins, partnering with the Hunt Group to boost employment and public welfare—the authorities weren't inclined to come down hard on her or the company. They suggested that if Khloe could offer the public a proper explanation and quell the outcry, the matter could be settled with a private penalty instead.That way, at the very least, the Morrison Group's reputation could be preserved, and the damage to the business would be minimized.Truth be told, even if the officials hadn't made that offer, Khloe had already planned to lean on whatever goodwill she'd built up.In Goldmont City, the Morrison family stood as a flagship enterprise—both for the public good and for the sake of the company itself, it shouldn't be dragged down by personal actions.It was only after coordinating with the authorities that Khloe had authorized the Morris
