Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1098

The folders brushed past Ethan's face, and the sharp edge of a couple of papers left two thin cuts along his cheek.

"This time it's my fault. I didn't listen to you. But we don't need to fear a mere Olympus…"

Ethan knew very well that the mistake he had made through recklessness and overconfidence was likely irreparable.

At the very least, there was no longer any chance to use Ariana as a pawn.

Since it was already impossible to dismantle Olympus from the inside, they might as well confront it head-on.

After all, in terms of business capability alone—him, Khloe, and the Hunts together—would they really lose to someone like Trey, and a sheltered royal heiress who knew nothing of the world?

"What do you know?!" Khloe snapped.

She tried to rein in her emotions, but the moment she thought of Trey's threat, her blood surged.

Her body swayed slightly, and a dull pain rose from her lower abdomen. She braced herself against the edge of the desk.

Ethan immediately noticed her condition. "Khloe, it's my fault, don't get angry… your health comes first!"

Grinding her teeth, Khloe shot him a glare.

She said nothing for a long moment.

Ethan hurried forward to help her sit down, then carefully handed her a glass of warm water.

"Should I take you to the hospital?" he asked, genuinely anxious now. Sweat beaded faintly on his forehead. "Khloe, don't worry. I won't let that bastard Trey get away with this. If you want Olympus gone, I can make it happen—but right now, you should rest. Does Nick even know you're pushing yourself like this?"

"Shut up," Khloe snapped.

A cold sweat broke out across her body as the cramping in her lower abdomen finally began to ease.

She took several deep breaths, then looked at Ethan again.

"If I ask you to bring Ariana completely over to our side, do you still have confidence?"

The front desk had just called to say that Nick was downstairs, asking to see Khloe.

Ethan had even found it strange—Morrison Group might as well be Nick's own territory. He remembered that Nick used to have unrestricted access here. So why was he being stopped at the door now?

"People from the Hunt Group no longer have special access here. From now on, anyone from their side is to be kept out."

Khloe had already issued the order to security. It was just that Ethan and the others hadn't known.

"You two had a fight?" Ethan still didn't quite understand.

There was no way Khloe would cut off Nick over work alone, would she? Especially since, not long ago, they had still been inseparable.

And in his understanding, wasn't Khloe doing all this against Olympus and Trey precisely for Nick?

Khloe didn't respond. She only cast him a sidelong, impatient glance.

Ethan frowned. "Don't tell me… it's because of Trey?"
