Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1099

The only explanation Ethan could think of was this.

Nick must have been jealous—trying to stop Khloe from having any contact with Trey.

But Khloe was far too stubborn; no one could sway her decisions.

Marriage was like this. No matter how sweet it started, differences in personality would eventually lead to conflict.

"Khloe, as your older step-brother, I really have to advise you on this. You're going to be a mother soon—you can't be this—"

Before he could even finish the word "willful," Khloe cut him off coldly.

"Get out."

"Khloe, am I really—"

Ethan's temper flared slightly as well, but before he could finish, he was silenced by her icy stare.

Fine. A man under someone else's roof had no choice but to bow his head. Especially since this time, he had indeed made a mistake.

"Khloe!"

Charlotte's urgent voice came from outside as she knocked rapidly on the door.

Khloe gestured to Ethan. He went to open it.

"What is it?"

"Nick's people are fighting with security outside. He's trying to force his way in… he said he wants to see you!"

Charlotte spoke quickly toward Khloe, just as confused as the others.

What on earth was going on between Khloe and Nick?

Just moments ago, she had heard staff rushing downstairs to watch the commotion, thinking some troublemaker had shown up… only to find out it was Nick forcing his way into the company.

By all reason, Nick should have had access rights here. The security team even recognized people from the Hunt family. Yet both sides had actually come to blows, and Nick was still trying to push his way in…

The hostility between them was far too abnormal.

Ethan also turned to Khloe. "Khloe, if there's something you need to say to Nick, you should probably make it clear to him. If this escalates, it won't look good for the company…"

"Give this to him."

"Mr. Hunt…"

Ethan instinctively corrected himself. Given their family relations, he had originally intended to call him by name.

"Where is Khloe?"

Nick gave him a cold glance and stepped forward without hesitation.

No one on this side dared to stop him. Even the security guards who rushed in afterward had no choice but to force themselves forward.

"Mr. Hunt, we're just following Ms. Roswell's instructions. Please don't make things difficult for us…"

"Move."

Nick spat out a single word.

Lenny immediately signaled the bodyguards behind him, and they confronted the security team head-on.

Nick continued forward. Everyone else was forced to part.

"Nick!" Ethan froze for a moment, then hurried forward. "Khloe asked me to give you this. She's already left."
