บททั้งหมดของ Billionaire's Match: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Khloe's eyes flicked over the luxury items Denise wore. Altogether, they'd cost maybe twenty thousand at most. She thought that was enough to consider herself the upper echelon? Just because of a few designer pieces?"Apparently she is—"Tina started to speak, only to be cut off by a male classmate. "Khloe, no matter how rude Denise is, you shouldn't have done that. You should apologize to her!" Soon, others chimed in, all echoing the same sentiment."Khloe, why make a big deal? We're all former classmates.""Denise has a strong temper, she speaks bluntly. She didn't mean anything by it.""Besides, Denise's position is different now. You're in Goldmont City. Even with Trey watching your back, you shouldn't offend her. Just apologize, alright?"Denise's face lit up, a smug smile spreading. The group's support felt like a warm breeze, giving her confidence."See that, Khloe? Now I'm someone you can't afford to offend. I suggest you wise up and apologize. Or one call from me, and

Denise sent a message, and the reply came almost instantly. She asked to make a quick voice call, just a minute, and the other party agreed without hesitation.Now, everyone could hear the heiress herself. Excitement buzzed through the room. Even Tina leaned closer to Denise, unable to hide her curiosity."The Morrison heiress really is free, huh? Replies instantly," Khloe murmured softly. Denise shot her a sharp glance, but no one else seemed to notice. It was normal for the heiress to be prompt with messages, especially since she and Denise were supposedly close friends.Soon, the voice call connected."Hello?" A bright, playful voice came through, slightly clipped in tone."Miss Morrison, sorry to disturb you so late. I'm with some friends right now, and they all admire you—they'd love to hear a few words from you," Denise said, her tone cloying with polite flattery.Though she claimed to be close friends, it was obvious to anyone paying attention that they weren't. Still, k

Denise's words snapped everyone back to reality.Just moments ago, Khloe's calm, commanding demeanor had genuinely unsettled them. They had almost believed she was the Morrison heiress, issuing orders from some untouchable pedestal. But that… that was impossible."Khloe, please, stop pretending! Look at Tina—she's so innocent, and you actually fooled her!""An apology really isn't that hard, you know. You're just a nobody, yet you're acting like a princess!"This time, no one cared about maintaining any pretense of class or civility. The words grew harsher, the glares toward Khloe sharper, even rolling their eyes so far it seemed impossible.Denise had been right—only someone struggling would resort to pretending. Until now, they hadn't realized how vain Khloe could be.But their voices abruptly stopped when Tina's phone suddenly rang."…Could it be… a call from the Morrison Group?"Everyone pressed in, disbelief written across their faces, as Tina's trembling fingers answered.

The bar's upper management, knowing the Morrison heiress had arrived, would have loved to greet her in person—but they were out of town. All they could do was have the manager wait outside."Miss Morrison, our boss wasn't aware you'd be visiting tonight. We may have fallen short in hospitality, so we've prepared a small token of appreciation… and, oh, a special VIP membership card for you and your guests."The card had been tailored for Khloe: essentially an unlimited, lifetime pass, granting priority access to any VIP room at any time.Khloe frowned slightly as she noticed the neatly stacked envelopes in the manager's hands."They're not my friends. You don't need to give them the cards. Someone else is hosting tonight—if the expenses are too low, it'll offend them…"A small, mischievous smile tugged at her lips as she recalled the sycophantic, backstabbing faces from the private room. Before she could finish speaking, the manager nodded knowingly."Don't worry, Miss Morrison. I

Trey remembered how Khloe had shouted at the students who were hitting the beggar, even stepping in front of the beggar to protect him. The attackers were bigger, stronger, angry, and they hadn't spared her either—hurling insults, raising hands—but she didn't back down. She stood her ground, insisted on doing what was right, and even called the police.At that moment, Trey had been captivated. She was completely unlike anyone he had ever known. He had always measured everything in terms of gain and self-preservation, never helping anyone without reason. But Khloe—she had dashed forward without a second thought.She was someone willing to step into danger to protect the weak, someone who wouldn't stay silent in the face of injustice… how could such a person ever choose to bully others?Over the years, Khloe's selflessness and understanding toward him had shown Trey something important: some people are simply born without the desire to climb over others. Her pride was innate, but
