Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1069

Trey had already made it clear in advance: in front of Ariana, no one was to mention his past.

People were realistic. Once upon a time, they had been friends. Now that Trey had made a comeback, everyone naturally wanted a share of the benefits and were doing everything they could to flatter him.

That man's words had truly ruined the mood.

Someone quickly pulled the man aside, trying to smooth things over. "What past are we talking about? Trey's just developed his career overseas!"

"Exactly, exactly. Going abroad is a good thing. What does Goldmont City even count for? It's just a tiny place—how could it compare to the wide world outside?"

Others immediately followed, helping to ease the tension.

But the drunk man failed to read the room and continued loudly, "Yeah! What is Khloe anyway? She just inherited some assets and started acting all high and mighty—she's got no real ability. Trey is the real deal, now that's true self-made success!"

Despite everyone trying to shut him up, they couldn't stop his mouth. The room froze in shock.

Trey's expression didn't improve either. Instead, it sank completely.

His wrist moved slightly—the fruit he had originally intended to hand to Ariana was quietly set back down on the table.

Everyone's nerves tightened at once.

Only the drunk man still tried to hand his glass over to Trey.

Ariana could also sense something was wrong. She felt sorry for Trey and didn't want him upset, so she immediately linked her arm through his. "It's okay, Trey. They're right—let the past be the past…"

Trey glanced at her, then took the glass from the man's hand. "You're right."

But he didn't drink it.

Instead, he called the server over and ordered several more bottles of premium alcohol for the man.

The other party was a heavy drinker with terrible drinking manners—something Trey knew very well.

With so much alcohol on the table, and the man already half-conscious, once it was opened, he would definitely keep drinking.

Everyone was secretly stunned.

She knew exactly where Trey was at that moment.

Ever since she learned that the person behind Olympus was Trey, everything between them had become completely transparent.

Trey kept people watching every move she made—and naturally, she did the same.

At this moment, he was definitely enjoying his triumphant moment with his girlfriend among his friends. She couldn't afford to miss it.

"I'm just checking on your progress. Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

Khloe took a light breath, her tone like she was issuing instructions to a subordinate.

Trey tugged at his collar and let out a cold laugh. "Khloe, don't you think you've got something wrong here?"

"Trey, you're really inefficient. I heard the bidding against the Hunt Group hasn't been called off yet. You're not slacking off, are you?"

Khloe didn't bother arguing with him and went straight to the point.
