Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1111

Nick guessed that Khloe's recent unusual behavior might be related to Olympus and Lacuna.

Perhaps she didn't want to drag him into it. Or perhaps Olympus and Lacuna had already done something to her…

Since he couldn't get the truth from Khloe herself, he would have to investigate it on his own.

Lucas had always been efficient. Even if he hadn't uncovered anything substantial, after so many days there should at least be some form of report. Not to mention, he couldn't possibly have missed today's news.

If Lucas wasn't going to come to him, he didn't have the patience to wait.

It wasn't even midnight yet—at this hour, Lucas was definitely still awake.

And as expected, after the phone rang for a long while, Lucas finally picked up.

"Nick, it's so late. You don't want to sleep, but you won't let others sleep either?"

"Tell me what happened to Khloe. You already know, don't you?"

Nick cut straight through his evasion.

Silence fell instantly on the other end.

Lucas's breathing grew heavier.

Even though Nick was ill, his perception was still sharp.

"You don't want to know," Lucas said. "I suggest you just divorce her, stop asking questions, and focus on your recovery."

"Lucas, are you going to tell me or not?"

Nick's voice was soft, but the finality in it was chilling.

Lucas rubbed his temples, reluctant, before finally speaking after a long pause. "Where are you right now?"

"At home."

Lucas exhaled heavily. "Khloe… simply didn't choose you. She chose someone else. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"What do you mean by that?"

But strangely, it wasn't directed at Khloe—it was aimed at him.

"There's no reason for Khloe to insist on divorcing you under these circumstances… unless she truly doesn't want to be with you anymore."

Lucas's voice grew strained. He didn't want to say anything this cruel to Nick.

Suddenly, a cold laugh came through the line.

Nick sneered. "Lucas, did Khloe tell you to pass this to me?"

Lucas froze. After a beat, he replied, "If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself tomorrow. My people found out Khloe and Trey have arranged to meet alone tomorrow night. I'll send you the location later."

The moment he finished speaking, the call was cut off.

Nick had already ended the conversation, as if unwilling to hear another word.

Lucas rubbed his brow in frustration.

Why was he always the one forced to play the bad guy in situations like this?
