All Chapters of Billionaire's Match: Chapter 1201 - Chapter 1210

"It's fine," Charlotte said. "I can handle this on my own. Lucas will be in Jayelle City. I was really just letting you know. You could just drop me off."Ethan didn't look at her, his voice flat. "What I said back there was out of line. Forget it. This is serious, and I'm coming with you.""There's no need. I can protect myself. You don't have to""It's not only about you. I want to do something for Khloe too. She's the only family I have left, and now that I already know what's going on, whether I get involved is my call to make."Ethan cut her off, his tone leaving no room for argument.Charlotte's mouth opened, the words she'd spent so long considering rising up, only to be swallowed back down again.She really had no grounds to stop him, and pushing the point further would only come across as overly precious about it.The two of them said nothing more the rest of the way.By afternoon, the moment the plane touched down, Charlotte pulled out her phone at once.Out of the c

Winnie let out a soft laugh. "Isn't that just stating the obvious?"Michael lowered his gaze and gently laced his fingers through Winnie's. "Winnie, honestly, even though I chose you and wanted your love, I never once expected you to give up anything for me, including loving me. When I was in a bad place, your love only scared me more. I was afraid…""You were afraid I'd get tired of you someday, so you'd rather push me away first. It was never about not trusting me. You just never saw our relationship as an equal one to begin with."There was a note of sorrow in Winnie's voice, but it wasn't over what Michael had done. It was guilt.She was the one who'd given him so much uncertainty and anxiety over their relationship, shattering his pride until he'd loved her from such an unequal place."You're right. But..."Michael's throat worked, something like relief creeping into his eyes. "But like you said, I'm not really without regrets."These past few days, I kept worrying you'd ge

"Don't tell her."Noah seemed to have anticipated Ethan's next move. The words had barely left his mouth before he broke into a violent fit of coughing, one hand clamped over his lips.Ethan startled hard. "What's wrong?"He leaned in and reached out, only to feel something hot and sticky under his hand; that was when he realized Noah's body was riddled with wounds."You…""Shh."Noah tilted his head up. The cap covered most of his face, but in the dim light, dark stains were visible around his mouth and across his skin. Blood."I'm taking you to the hospital... the ambulance should still be nearby..."Ethan panicked, moving to haul Noah onto his back, but before he could get a solid grip on Noah's arm, another violent cough cut him off.Noah retched up another mouthful of blood, spattering it across Ethan's clothes and the side of his face."Sorry..." Noah's voice was faint. He used what strength he had left to push Ethan back. "But... can you listen to me for a moment? I th

Charlotte fell to the floor. Ethan quickly reached out to help her up, but Charlotte shoved him away on instinct."Where's Noah?"Ethan lowered his head. After a long moment, he said quietly, "Why are you suddenly asking about him?""He was there, wasn't he? He's the one who killed those Lacuna guys, right? If he hadn't shown up, there's no way Michael and Winnie would have gotten out safely without running into them... "So where is he now? At the hospital, or at the police station?"Charlotte fired off one question after another. Her voice went from frantic to faint, losing more conviction with every word.When Ethan didn't answer, she grabbed his arm. Her eyes were red, and her voice trembled. "Did he run off again? You couldn't find him either, could you?"For some reason, Charlotte felt that Noah having vanished would be the best news she could hope for.Ethan still didn't answer. He kept his eyes lowered, and after a long while, he finally said, "I'm sorry."Charlotte

But no one answered for a long time. Ethan grew anxious and was about to break the door down when he heard Charlotte's voice behind him."Ethan."He turned around and saw Charlotte standing behind him.But she looked completely different.Her long hair was gone, cut into a sleek bob that barely reached past her ears.Her delicate face wore no makeup at all, and the new haircut changed her from soft and gentle to cool and distant.Her eyes were a little puffy and her face was pale, but when she spoke, she didn't seem nearly as broken and grief-stricken as Ethan had expected."You... went out?"Ethan was stunned for a moment before it sank in. She had always kept him at arm's length, but today, she sounded so much closer.Charlotte nodded and led him into the room."I got up this morning and wanted a new look, so I got my hair cut at the salon across the street.""Are you okay?" Ethan asked carefully."Mm. Don't worry." Charlotte answered lightly, then turned and handed him N
