Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1179

From last night till now, Trey had barely closed his eyes.

He ignored calls, left messages unread, and couldn't care less about his own situation. The only thing he wanted was to watch Khloe fall from grace and the Morrison Group crumble.

Now that the moment was finally within reach—why did his expectations feel so hollow, so unreal?

And why... why hadn't Khloe come to him yet?

Trey looked up. The vast room was dead silent.

He sat there alone, as if the world had completely cast him aside.

Khloe should have reached out to him by now.

He hadn't even bothered to hide his tracks—he'd used his old online handle as the leaker's name.

But nearly a full day had passed since the story broke. The Morrison Group had made no move, and Khloe hadn't contacted him.

For all his scheming, he was no different from any other spectator scrolling through the chaos online.

It wasn't until evening that the Morrison Group's official account finally released a statement.

But all it said was that the company hadn't engaged in illegal drug manufacturing, and that the allegations required further verification.

The statement read almost like an admission that Khloe had indeed used T7 for production.

Netizens quickly speculated that the scandal was all but confirmed—and that the next step would be damage control.

Khloe's use of T7 could easily be framed as a personal act, unrelated to the Morrison Group. At worst, she'd resign and take full responsibility, leaving the company intact. It was a clean escape route.

But the outraged public and the paid trolls who'd been gearing up for this moment immediately tore into the Morrison Group's response.

[What do you mean 'requires further verification'? It's been a whole day—if it weren't true, they would've denied it outright!]

But emotion had overridden reason.

No one could go through life without making mistakes. No one could escape paying a price.

She just didn't want the Morrison Group to bear the cost.

When she'd asked Winnie to help with the production, she'd already covered her tracks—no formal company procedures were followed. She'd never told anyone about T7, her intentions, or her purpose. It was entirely a personal matter, one that couldn't implicate any employee or the company itself.

After the news went viral, investigators had come to see her right away.

Given her pregnancy, it was only a routine questioning.

T7 hadn't been approved domestically, but contrary to public outcry, it wasn't classified as a strictly prohibited substance under current regulations either. The Morrison Group hadn't applied to produce such a drug. If, as Khloe claimed, she'd acted without outside influence and had used it unknowingly for medical treatment, she and the company would face only a public warning and financial penalties.

But once officially reprimanded, her reputation—and the Morrison Group's—would be in tatters. It was anyone's guess whether their pharmaceutical products would face a boycott in the future.
