Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162

Khloe had already contacted the legal team. Morrison Group’s legal department was among the best in the city- Brandon would inevitably pay for his actions, and the social media accounts that had blindly spread unverified information would be dealt with as well.

“Khloe, you absolutely can’t let these people off! Spreading lies and slander like this is disgusting and malicious!”

Charlotte and the others were outraged on Khloe’s behalf. That morning, they hadn’t done anything else, just posted denials across the chat group. Yet their voices, as fervent as they were, couldn’t compare to a single call

from Khloe. 1

“I will.” Khloe’s voice was calm, but resolute. She never went easy on those who bullied her.

“I wonder if Mr. Hunt has seen the news… if he finds out, he might not…”

Charlotte’s voice faltered as she hesitated, worry evident in her eyes.

“Khloe, Mr. Hunt won’t believe those rumors, will he?”

Hearing this, a flicker of concern crossed Khloe’s own eyes. But when she thought of Nick, she said without hesitation, “He won’t.”

Even though he hadn’t known her long, and his understanding of her was shallow at best, Khloe trusted that Nick wasn’t that kind of person.

Still, given the circumstances, she felt it necessary to inform him. She immediately dialed his number-but his phone was busy, likely tied up in another call.

As she pondered this, there was a knock at the office door. Ethan’s unmistakable voice carried through. “Khloe, do you have a moment to speak?”

Before Khloe could respond, the door swung open.

Ethan leaned casually against the doorframe, clad in a dark blue pinstripe suit. “Busy, Khloe?”

He shot a glance at Charlotte, who was standing by Khloe’s desk. Charlotte instinctively turned to face him.

“Good morning, Ethan,” she said, her tone polite but stiff, her eyes wary, betraying a clear sense of defensiveness

as if he had come to cause trouble.

Ethan’s lips curved into a faint smirk as his gaze swept over her from head to toe. Among Khloe’s new small team, Charlotte was the only one who caught his attention.

Not because of anything else, but simply because she fit his aesthetic perfectly.

Fresh out of college, Charlotte carried a youthful innocence, yet her delicate features, porcelain skin, and thick black hair cascading to just below her waist made her look like she had stepped out of a manga panel-a charming, guileless young girl.

Ethan had a taste for women who were attractive without being overtly flashy-clever enough to intrigue, but not calculatingly sharp. She was far more appealing in his eyes than Khloe.

He also remembered that within the team, Charlotte clung most closely to Khloe, acting as though he were a constant threat. Her cautiousness was written all over her face-it was rather endearing.

“Charlotte, you can leave now,” Khloe said quickly, noticing Ethan’s silent stare.

Charlotte cast her eyes toward Khloe but hesitated, clearly uneasy, and only reluctantly walked out after a

moment.

“Khloe, why are the people around you so wary of me? As if I’m some man-eating tiger about to devour you.”

“Let’s skip the theatrics. If you have something to say, say it-I have other matters to attend to soon.”

Khloe remained seated, hands clasped beneath her chin, a gentle, knowing smile gracing her lips.

Ethan pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down. “Khloe, I’ve heard some very unpleasant rumors about you today.”
