Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1114

"Winnie, leave the rest to me…"

"Khloe, let me face this with you."

Winnie cut her off with a faint smile, then turned and left without waiting for a response.

Khloe stood there for a moment, slightly surprised.

Outside, the news about her and Nick was already in an uproar. She had assumed Winnie would at least ask a question or two.

After a brief pause, Khloe also left, a faint warmth lingering in her chest.

Since childhood, she had been used to carrying everything alone—no matter how great the difficulty, she would grit her teeth and bear it to the very end. The harder the path, the more she insisted on walking it herself. The less she needed anyone's support.

Only in that way could she remain strong. Only in that way could she keep going.

But this time, all the people around her responded with unconditional trust and tolerance. Every message and call she received was filled with concern and questions.

Even Arista and Loretta had sent messages, saying they would respect her decision, hoping she would not clash with Nick, and urging her not to let emotions spiral—her priority should be her health.

That afternoon, when Khloe left Morrison Group, she saw Michelle in the parking garage.

Michelle was leaning against Khloe's car, clearly waiting for her for some time.

"Khloe, why haven't you been answering your phone? What exactly is going on between you and Nick? Is what's online true?"

Michelle was currently collaborating with the Hunt Group, preparing for a live broadcast promoting an official event, but the couple's news had completely crashed her livestream.

The comment section was flooded with questions about Khloe and Nick, to the point where she no longer dared to go live.

But Michelle didn't believe they would actually divorce. After hearing the rumors, she had immediately tried to contact Nick.

As expected—just like Khloe—he didn't answer calls, didn't reply to messages, and completely ignored her.

Michelle then contacted Lenny, only to receive vague and evasive responses, which finally made her realize something was wrong.

"Then you—"

"That's precisely why I chose to separate from him."

Michelle was instantly left speechless.

She had also seen the online comments—many people said Khloe and Nick were ultimately pragmatic, that no matter how deeply they once loved each other, they would eventually part because of interests.

Since Nick's illness had already been exposed online, most speculation now centered on the idea that the divorce was due to his condition.

"Long illness at the bedside tests even filial devotion, let alone marriage."

The public had no idea Nick's condition had reached its final stage. Naturally, they assumed Khloe—still so young and ambitious—simply didn't want to be tied down by a sick husband, and that it was understandable.

But Michelle, who knew the truth, could never accept that explanation.

"Khloe, what are you even talking about? Have you been under some kind of shock or pressure?"
