Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1148

"Trey may be targeting Khloe, but don't your people always say that every debt has its debtor? If you want revenge, then you should go after him. Why target me instead? What's wrong with helping my fiancé?"

Ariana had no other choice. She forcibly swallowed her anger and tried to reason with Ethan.

"Oh? You want to argue logic with me?"

Leaning against the wall, Ethan narrowed his eyes at the disheveled woman on the floor.

Before she could answer, he lazily continued, "Every debt has its debtor? Then why did Trey drag Nick into this while going after Khloe? They're husband and wife. Nick is sick, too. Isn't what Trey did shameless enough to deserve death?"

"But—"

"No more 'buts.' I already told you long ago—Trey is the truly despicable one. He betrayed Khloe first. Even if you argue with me for ten thousand years, it won't change the fact that Trey wronged Khloe!

"And if we're talking about helping evil thrive, then you're the one doing exactly that. Khloe has already been more than polite to you. If it were me, I wouldn't bother giving you the chance to get away from a scumbag. I'd have killed the two of you outright!"

His blunt tirade drained the color from Ariana's face.

He had been holding that in for a long time. Ever since he'd tried to kindly warn her before, only to get beaten for it, he'd never managed to let the resentment go.

If Khloe hadn't specifically instructed him to treat Ariana politely and avoid causing trouble, he would've cursed Ariana out long ago.

There were countless men in the world. Yet, she had chosen the absolute worst one.

Honestly, maybe she hadn't even been brainwashed at all.

No matter how skilled Trey was at deceiving women, someone still had to willingly fall for it. Ariana had chosen him herself.

To her, principles, morality, right and wrong—none of it mattered more than satisfying her own desires.

"Ethan, stop pretending. You don't dare hurt me after kidnapping me because even Khloe knows I'm not someone you people can afford to offend. You only want to use me to threaten Trey. Fine, I'll agree to your terms. As long as you let me go, I can persuade Trey… to let everything between him and Khloe go."

Ariana clenched her fists tightly. Lowering her head, a trace of unwillingness flashed through her eyes, but in the end, she abandoned her pride.
