Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1022

Chapter 1022

“Yes-and no.”

Ariana was curious, but she didn’t feel the need to ask Trey every single time. She could already guess some of it herself.

Trey said, “Then tell me what you think.”

“The Olson family is already at a disadvantage now. Public opinion, the business circles in Goldmont City -everyone is leaning toward Winnie. Timing, location, and support are all on her side. Getting the inheritance back is probably inevitable. You’re just… going with the flow?”

Recently, she had been reading business strategy books alongside him and was now casually applying what she learned.

Trey couldn’t help but smile at her attempt. He pinched her cheek lightly.

“There’s some truth in that.”

“But I still don’t quite understand,” Ariana continued. “You’re doing her a favor, but she doesn’t even know it. Besides, she’s definitely going to cooperate with the Morrison family anyway. As for working with you … honestly, if the foundation dragged things out, it would actually benefit us more, wouldn’t it?”

That was the part she still couldn’t fully grasp.

“The foundation can’t drag it out,” Trey said. “And even if they do, it would slow down our revenge.”

Ariana frowned, still not understanding.

But he clearly had no intention of explaining further. He simply took her hand.

“You’ll understand in the future. Come on, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat dinner.”

“Alright.”

Ariana nodded. Compared to eating with Trey, nothing else mattered.

That night, after Ariana fell asleep, Trey went alone into his study and made a call.

“Did you get it?”

“Mhm.”

A confirmation came through the receiver, and moments later, a photo was sent to his phone.

It showed a sealed pharmaceutical packet with the faint label: “T7.”

“Is there anything special about this drug?”

“We checked. It’s a classified research project from Naraida. The extraction source is undisclosed, but it

should be effective.”

Trey frowned as he stared at the image.

So Khloe was really going all out just to save Nick’s life.

When he met Clarice, he had already learned about Khloe and Nick’s situation.

The façade of a “grand wedding” and “true love” was, in fact, just a cover for a dying man clinging to his

last breath.

The contact Clarice gave him led directly to members of Lacuna.

Although Spence had been captured, Lacuna still operated worldwide. They would inevitably retaliate against the person who caused their heavy losses-Khloe. So they would be his perfect partners.

Ever since Khloe and Nick arrived in Swinterland, members of Lacuna had been secretly watching them, waiting for the right moment to stage an “accident” and eliminate them both.

And at that very moment, Trey placed his order.

Letting Khloe die so easily would be far too boring. Revenge had to be returned in kind.

That was something Khloe herself had once taught him.

And that was also the answer to Ariana’s question. The only person he intended to destroy and torment…

was Khloe.

If Khloe wanted to save Nick, she would need hope. If Winnie didn’t obtain the patent, how could she possibly risk everything and go all in? Everything, of course, was to ensure his plan advanced as quickly as possible.

After hanging up, Trey couldn’t help but open a drawer and take out a photograph hidden deep inside his

wallet.

It was their wedding ID photo. Torn cleanly in half-then pieced back together.

It was the last photo of them together. Everything else had already been destroyed.

Only this one remained, constantly reminding him of past pain.

Meanwhile, before dawn had even broken, Khloe jolted awake.

It felt like she had had a nightmare, but her mind was completely blank-she couldn’t remember anything

at all.
