Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Back in the CEO’s office, Trey immediately loosened his tie, his breathing rapid, his anger impossible to contain.

The online slander aimed at Khloe hit him like a series of blows, each one striking him as if personally.

He’d been with Khloe for six years-he knew better than anyone how stubborn, determined, and innocent she was. There was no way she would ever cheat; even glancing at a male celebrity on her phone would only be for work!

Khloe was nothing more than a naive, inexperienced girl. He had led her carefully, step by step, from her little Eden into his arms, where she had grown into the woman he knew.

After several long moments, Trey finally picked up his phone, intending to call Khloe. But first, he saw the alumni chat group flooded with the article’s shares. Many people were mocking her, and some even tagged Trey, expressing sympathy for him.

His fingers trembled as he typed a reply and sent it immediately: [This article is false. Khloe and I are fine. Thanks for your concern!]

But he hesitated-this sounded too light. He quickly edited another message.

[Khloe works very hard at the company and is professionally competent. All our partners recognize her. The actions described in these rumors are completely false. Please do not spread them further. I will contact a lawyer to take legal action.]

After sending that, his mood eased just a little.

No sooner had he finished than Angela’s call came through. Trey answered casually, only to hear her fury-laden

voice.

“Why are you speaking up for Khloe in the group? Are you just going to accept that she cheated on you?”

“Angela, are you out of your mind? That article is clearly slander. I know Khloe well-she is not that kind of person!”

Trey’s firm defense made Angela’s heart sink. She had been secretly pleased seeing Khloe attacked in the chat group, only to find Trey defending her.

Wasn’t it better for the Fox family to finally see Khloe’s true nature? Maybe then they would stop obstructing her at every turn and finally except her.

Angela laughed bitterly through gritted teeth. “That account belongs to a Goldmont reporter. How could it be slander?”

“Reporters can also write fake news. That reporter is a bastard. Don’t worry about it, and don’t go spreading this around.”

Trey hung up immediately, restless and anxious. He quickly dialed Khloe, but she was already on another call.

“Thanks for your trouble,” she said calmly. She was speaking with the head of Goldmont Television Station.

Khloe had seen the fake news earlier, but unlike Charlotte and the others, who had nearly jumped out of their seats in outrage, she remained composed. It was just a smear-someone trying to tarnish her reputation.

After all, the Morrison family was Goldmont’s top capital. Whether the news was real or fake, it could be suppressed. Using such petty tactics against her was laughable, even pathetic.

Running through the possibilities in her head-Clarice, Ethan, Angela, Trey, or perhaps some classmates who had always disliked her-she hung up and immediately received confirmation: the culprit was someone named Brandon, who, she recalled, had indeed been a classmate.

Had there been some grudge?

Before she could dwell on it, Charlotte was already rushing over.
