Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1088

Ethan turned sharply. There stood Trey, draped in a trench coat, walking slowly toward him and Ariana.

Behind him, a convoy of cars was parked beside Ethan's luxury vehicle. Trey had deliberately walked over alone.

His voice continued, drifting through the night air. "Because Ariana and I truly love each other. She stayed by my side when I was at my lowest, and I swore I would protect her for the rest of my life. No matter how outsiders twist my past or try to sow discord, nothing can shake what we have."

Ethan instinctively moved to block Ariana, but she quickly stepped away from him, putting distance between them.

"Trey? How… how did you find me here…"

A flash of guilt crossed Ariana's eyes. She took a few steps forward, but the moment she sensed the hostility rolling off him, she stopped.

Trey glanced at her and curled his lips slightly. "Find you? How hard could that be? If you were ever in danger, I could turn the entire Goldmont City upside down to find you."

Ethan let out a faint, humorless laugh, a wave of disgust rising in him.

He had always thought his own sweet talk to women was heaven-defying nonsense—but apparently, there was an expert standing right in front of him.

No wonder Khloe had said Trey was ruthless. The man's performance alone was enough to make even someone who knew his true nature question reality.

"Trey…"

Ariana lowered her head, a little guilty, but she knew he was saying all this only for the man beside her to hear.

In truth, their phones were linked with mutual location tracking. If Trey wanted to find her, he could do so at any time—and the same was true for her.

He had set it up when they first returned to Goldmont City, as a declaration of love.

Even though Ariana was deeply in love, she still had some rationality left. And Trey had already anticipated everything that might happen after their return for revenge.

He had warned her long before, "The people from my past hate me to the core. Once we begin our revenge, they'll try to tear us apart and make you leave me. I don't want to lose you—but if you don't trust me… then I'll have no choice but to end everything."

Trey had already taken her hand. When she looked up, she saw faint moisture in his eyes. He didn't sound angry at all. But that calm, gentle voice only made her more uneasy.

"I…" she started.

"Someone with ulterior motives?" Ethan cut in with a cold laugh, stepping forward. "Trey, I think you're the one who's best at using people, twisting the truth, and hiding ulterior motives."

He walked right up to them.

He had never once looked at Trey properly before. But now, being openly mocked like this, irritation surged through him.

And worse, the sight of their clinging intimacy only deepened his disgust.

No wonder Khloe's retaliation had been so merciless.

Even as a man, just watching this made his blood boil—he almost couldn't resist the urge to throw a punch.
