Semua Bab Billionaire's Match: Bab 481 - Bab 490

Ethan had never met Trey or Angela in person, but to deal with Khloe, he had long ago investigated their histories down to the smallest detail.He had no moral judgments to speak of—what mattered was allegiance. The enemy of his enemy was a friend.If Trey could disgust Khloe, Ethan was more than willing to use him, even to ally with him.Yet, the Fox family was unreliable. Ethan had once considered supporting Trey, but the man proved incapable. The crucial point was Khloe's swift change of affections. If Trey couldn't play the emotional card with Khloe, he had no value at all.Now, with Clarice giving full backing to Solara Energy, the aim was simple: bypass Khloe and regain company control. With Angela entering the picture, the situation promised even more drama.If Khloe refused to cooperate with Solara Energy, she would act against Morrison Group's interests and defy Niel. If she agreed, she would simply gain another enemy.Clarice's methods were subtle—soft knives. Even if s

"If I don't do this, do you promise not to tell Khloe?"Ethan's words immediately shut Charlotte up.She blinked, stunned. "What do you mean?""Eavesdropping in my office, and you still act so righteous? I treat you well, yet you insist on being Khloe's spy. Do you know how much that hurts me?"His voice was calm but threaded with amusement—a teasing, deliberate mockery.Ethan loved to provoke Charlotte, but that didn't mean he couldn't see through her intentions.Originally, he had considered letting it slide for the sake of the tea. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that if things went wrong, he'd be the one to take the fall.Charlotte had no mercy when it came to testing him. Fine—then he wouldn't hold back either.Charlotte paled. "I didn't eavesdrop! I was just bringing you the health tea…""What did you hear?"Ethan cut her off. Then, before she could answer, he added, "But it doesn't matter. Until this deal is closed, you'll stay with me the whole

The person who had taken Charlotte wasn't a stranger—it was Winnie.Winnie had somehow appeared out of nowhere, tailing them all the way. Charlotte had been detained by Ethan's men at the hotel, so Winnie reported it to the police, who had broken in and taken her away. Now, Ethan's men were still stuck at the police station, waiting for him to arrive.For Ethan, this wasn't a major concern—it only meant making a few extra phone calls.What annoyed him was that Charlotte had been taken by Winnie. What was that woman playing at? Did she have nothing better to do than stir up trouble for him?It was late, and Ethan couldn't very well go to the Olson family to get her. He had no real connection to them, and if the matter escalated, even if Winnie didn't get in trouble, he would be left with a mess.But Ethan knew Winnie had no influence in her own family. She couldn't possibly have taken Charlotte there.He decided to wait and see if Charlotte would return home.As expected, she was

"What did you say to Khloe today? And that girl Winnie—she played the hero, didn't she? Why didn't she give you a lift home?"Ethan wasn't the sort to be blinded by desire.The fact that Charlotte had returned home meant the situation had been resolved.Charlotte was clever—until Khloe left Morrison Group, Ethan couldn't make a move against her.Clarice had also warned him: don't stir up trouble before Khloe was truly dealt with, especially over such a trivial matter.Charlotte regarded him calmly for a moment before answering honestly. "What I said to Khloe? How could I possibly tell you, Ethan?"Three hours ago, Charlotte had been taken from the hotel by Winnie.Earlier that day, when Winnie left the company, she happened to see Charlotte walking with Ethan to the garage.Charlotte was Khloe's ally; it was suspicious for her to be so close to Ethan.Curiosity got the better of Winnie, and she followed them. That's when she discovered Charlotte being forcibly taken by Ethan's

Ethan smirked and turned toward the bathroom.The moment the door clicked shut, Charlotte slipped back into the bedroom and grabbed his phone.Near her home was a small phone repair shop whose owner had a touch of hacker skill. Several times before, when her phone or computer needed unlocking, the owner had helped her.But accessing someone else's phone data—that was definitely crossing a line…Charlotte hesitated for a long moment, then gritted her teeth and stomped off to see the owner.Ethan's passcode was more complicated than anything Charlotte had set. The owner spent a long time unlocking it, though since it was a hacking program, the window of access wouldn't last long.Back with the phone, Charlotte found a quiet corner and started digging through the project files related to Solara Energy. She recorded everything she could, sending it straight to Khloe.Her eyes darkened, her pulse quickened. She knew the consequences if she were caught—but when she thought of how Etha
