Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

“Nick, do you hate me that much?” Michelle cried. “Everything in the past was my fault. Please don’t wrong yourself just to take revenge on me… She… she’s not worthy of you at all…”

“Did you not hear what I just said?” Nick cut her off. He drew in a slow breath, clearly with no intention of arguing with her any further. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and began dialing a number.

Michelle knew all too well that once Nick spoke, he meant it. Even at tremendous loss, he would absolutely follow through and cancel the cooperation.

The Keller Group was nowhere near as wealthy or powerful as the Hunt Group. This joint project had required the Keller Group to pour in resources without counting the cost.

“Fine. I’ll leave right now,” Michelle said hurriedly. “I won’t investigate her again, and I’ll delete those photos completely-immediately!”

She couldn’t gamble her entire family’s future just to vent her anger at Nick. At the very last moment, she had no choice but to give in.

Only after she finished speaking, tears streaming down her face, did Nick lower his phone.

“Get out.”

He tossed out the two words in a low voice, without a trace of pity.

Michelle was crying uncontrollably. She covered her face tightly and rushed out of the office. Seeing her like this, even Lenny felt a twinge of sympathy.

After a while, he returned to the office. He had meant to ask whether Nick wanted him to handle any follow-up matters, but instead he heard the man say calmly,

“From now on, without my permission, do not allow Michelle into my office. And once this project with the Keller Group is finished, pass the word along there will be no further cooperation, ever.”

Everyone knew that the relationship between the Hunt and Keller families was far from ordinary. And Nick’s relationship with Michelle… had once been far from ordinary as well.

Lenny had always believed that even after getting married, Nick would never truly be ruthless toward Michelle.

He hadn’t expected Nick to go this far.

Was this heartlessness… or was it precisely because he cared too much that he had to cut things off so completely?

That afternoon, just after Lauren was helped back to the Fox family estate by Stella, the housekeeper came rushing over, his face pale with tension.

“Old Madam, Madam… the household just received a fax-a fax!”

Already irritated, Stella snapped impatiently, “It’s just a fax. Is that really worth panicking over? Send it straight to the study.”

“It’s not that…” The housekeeper glanced at Lauren, uncertain whether he should continue.

Lauren shot him a cold look. “There are no outsiders here. Speak.”

The housekeeper swallowed before going on. “The fax concerns the young master. It’s a DNA paternity test report. The sender shows as garbled characters-we don’t know who sent it.”

Both Lauren and Stella’s expressions changed instantly.

“What paternity report?” Stella snatched the envelope, tearing it open. “He’s nothing but an adopted child!”

Lauren leaned heavily on her cane, staring intently at the pages about to be pulled out.

When the names on the report came into view, both women froze, momentarily doubting their own eyes.

Lauren grabbed the report at once. Her breath caught, and she nearly couldn’t inhale.
