《Billionaire's Match》全部章節：第 551 章 - 第 560 章

But Charlotte's offhand remark became the final straw that broke the camel's back. Ethan felt as if a knife had been driven straight into his heart."Charlotte, my mom treats me well! I lost my parents when I was young. If she hadn't given me everything, I wouldn't be living the life I have now. She may be strict with me, but she's taught me a lot."Charlotte had intended to leave, but Ethan, like a cat with its tail stepped on, kept shouting at her. She couldn't help herself and stopped."Clarice is good to you? Ethan, aren't you just fooling yourself? Not everyone who feeds you is your mother. Growing up by her side—were you really happy?"She despised this kind of childish argument, and her tone turned sharp before she realized it. Besides, there was no need for her to be polite to Ethan now.She truly hadn't expected him—usually so shrewd—to be so pigheaded about something like this.If he stayed with his mother for benefits, that would at least make sense for someone like him

On the way back, Delilah told Khloe a little about Henry.Although he was currently recuperating, he still served as chairman of several chain brands under the Morrison Group. In recent years, he had also founded a highly successful supermarket brand and a chain of hotels in Naraida.Delilah said that if Khloe was interested, she could take her to visit and learn more about them in a couple of days.An hour later, Khloe arrived at Evergreen Manor, where Henry lived.When he was young, Henry had loved wine. A private vineyard lay near the estate, stretching seamlessly from the winery to the residential area. The entire complex was built in a retro European palace style—grand and imposing, so lavish it resembled a historical ruin turned tourist attraction.Naraida had low population density and high urban greenery coverage, so even casual snapshots looked like paintings.Khloe took a few photos and sent them to Nick. When Delilah saw this, a faint glimmer passed through her eyes.

This library was personally designed and built by Henry. From the collections it housed to every detail of the interior décor, he had devoted immense care and thought to it.Now, he lived here long-term, working and reading within these walls, spending most of his days inside.Henry prepared a grand and lavish dinner for Khloe. After chatting with her casually about family matters, he led her to the banquet hall in the main building.By then, many guests had already begun to arrive.When Henry brought Khloe into the hall, Clarice was already inside receiving visitors.Today was a family banquet held specifically for Khloe, so everyone present was naturally a relative or close friend of Henry."It's a pity Oscar is busy, and Michael couldn't make it in time. Otherwise, our whole family would finally be together today."Henry chuckled softly to Khloe as he took her hand and guided her through the crowd, beginning to introduce her to the guests.Aside from Oscar's branch of the fa

Ralph had never expected that when he timed his move perfectly and sent Khloe a generous job offer with a high salary, she would reject him outright.Back then, Ralph felt a heavy blow—his family had lost an outstanding talent, and he himself had lost someone who might have become a like-minded friend.But a few years later, he saw Khloe again in a video from an international charity conference.At the time, he did not recognize her. He only thought that the Morrison family's heiress was impressive—not only beautiful and charismatic, but also eloquent in her speech. Her technical display in the relevant field was particularly striking; the more knowledgeable he was, the more he understood the true value of what she had shown.It was only later, when he met with his mentor again, that he learned the truth—this Khloe was the very talent he had once regretted losing.The revelation left Ralph stunned for days.The Remington and Morrison families were long-standing acquaintances. Aft

"How could you think that, Clarice? What would there be for me to be angry about?"Khloe went along with Clarice's words, her tone calm and unhurried.Clarice froze for two seconds before smiling again. "That's good, then. I've had so many matters to handle that I've often neglected you and couldn't support you at the Morrison Group. I was worried you might resent me for that. It seems I was overthinking it."After not seeing her for some time, Khloe had clearly matured. She even spoke so effortlessly now.Neither servile nor overbearing, Khloe casually shifted the awkwardness back onto Clarice—smooth and slippery in just the right way. She really had inherited Niel's temperament.Khloe smiled faintly but did not respond, waiting for Clarice to continue. She knew perfectly well that Clarice had not come simply to mend their relationship."Come on. I'm staying here tonight too. I'll walk you back to your room."After saying this, Clarice glanced at Delilah, signaling that she cou
