Billionaire's Match의 모든 챕터: 챕터 771 - 챕터 780

Khloe didn't respond to Angela's words. Instead, she let a mocking smile play across her lips—a smile that landed like a slap, sharp and heavy, across Angela's face.Angela's brows furrowed in frustration. She was being held firmly, unable to struggle or move.Michelle stepped forward, her tone cool and teasing. "Now I see what it means to be a villain who complains first. 'Ruthless'? Don't flatter yourself by calling yourself that—you're so far past it that even that word is an insult.""Khloe," Angela continued, teeth gritted, "I heard Nick is gravely ill… I'm genuinely worried for you. You finally got married, and now—are you already starting your widowhood?"The words made Angela's blood boil, but she knew squabbling with Michelle was pointless. She pressed on, speaking slowly and deliberately toward Khloe.But Khloe loosened her grip on Angela's face slightly, her lips curling into an even sharper, colder smile. Angela's insults didn't even register as an emotional ripple.W

Lenny parted his lips, silently chiding himself. Had he just said the wrong thing? He hoped it wouldn't lead to some messy misunderstanding……That afternoon, Khloe asked Lenny to deliver some documents to Michelle.Just as he stepped out of the garage, he caught sight of a familiar figure exiting the hotel lobby. His heart skipped a beat—it was Angela.What was she doing here? Could she be looking for Michelle?Lenny's gaze instinctively sharpened, searching for clues when he spotted Michelle."Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"Michelle's eyes flicked up from the documents, catching his gaze. Though she had been annoyed with him before, after what he said in the car… she decided to let it slide, for Nick and Khloe's sake."Nothing," Lenny quickly looked away, rubbing the bridge of his nose.Michelle raised her head. "Alright, I got the documents. You can go now.""Michelle…""What?"Lenny hesitated, then finally spoke. "Did you just see s

Arista watched Khloe, knowing it was just an excuse.Nick's bedroom held the sweetest memories the two of them had shared. Khloe probably feared that seeing these familiar objects would make her think of him even more, keeping her awake through the night. Arista nodded and called the driver to take Khloe back.On the way home, Khloe gazed out the window. The night was quiet, streetlights sparse, their dappled glow casting a hazy filter over her face. She thought of the times she had returned home with Nick—always in a whirlwind, as if they wished to stretch every fleeting moment into a lifetime. Meeting, registering their marriage, even… saying goodbye.When the car stopped at a red light, another vehicle pulled up alongside.Through the window, Khloe glimpsed a familiar profile. Her heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, she thought it was a trick of her mind. But before she could react, the car swerved away."Follow that car!" Khloe immediately ordered the driver.The other

The next day at noon, a headline rocked the business world of Goldmont City.It claimed that Nick Hunt, CEO of the Hunt Group, had unexpectedly died. Within hours, control of the company was uncertain, its projects in limbo, and the stock had already tumbled several points in just one morning.Khloe received the news just as she was about to hold a meeting to address company matters. At the same time, her phone rang—Loretta was calling.Lenny, standing nearby, saw the color drain from her face as she stared at the screen. He immediately suggested, "Should I handle this…""No need."Khloe drew a deep breath, pushed open the office door, and forced herself inside.Outside, Lenny paced anxiously. How could this news have leaked? Nick's accident abroad had long been kept under wraps. And in Goldmont City, no one dared to challenge the Hunt family lightly—without solid proof, where could such a report have come from? Naturally, his thoughts first went to Michelle.Half an hour later,

No leniency will be granted.5. We reserve the right to take all legal measures against anyone spreading false information that disrupts our company's operations or compromises fair bidding for the Moonlight Bay project.]Once the announcement went public, and with Hunt Group's legal team swiftly sending cease-and-desist letters to "Goldmont City Financial Express" and several major reprint platforms, the media frenzy escalated almost instantly.In a hotel suite, Angela read the announcement and snorted dismissively."Debunking it? All they can do is issue statements. We gambled right—Khloe's panicking. If Nick could appear even for a moment, that would be the best PR move. Even a short video would do. Why would Khloe have to be there, struggling a
