Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Trey froze. “What do you mean, she hasn’t been home?”

Before the maid could elaborate, his phone vibrated insistently. Another crisis at the company.

He dismissed the servants with a wave and stepped away to take the call.

When he returned, his face was several shades darker. Angela’s heart sank at the sight. “What is it now?”

“Another major project just fell through. The client insists they’ll only work with Khloe.”

The words lodged in his throat like a stone.

That project was the company’s most critical venture this past year–flagged as a top priority in all the annual reports. If it collapsed, the shareholders would have his head.

“But… Khloe is just a manager, isn’t she?” Angela couldn’t comprehend it. “How can a partner choose her over the company’s CEO?”

Angela simply couldn’t fathom it. Was Khloe really so indispensable that the entire corporation faltered without her?

“I have to get to the office.”

Without another word, Trey grabbed his coat and strode out

At that very moment, Khloe was settling into a plush seat aboard Oscar’s private jet.

As the new majority shareholder of Morrison Pharmaceuticals, she was en route to a prestigious international charity gala in a neighboring country.

The event’s guest list was notoriously exclusive–a who’s who of global magnates and Fortune 500 leaders. A true power summit.

In previous years, Niel and Clarice, along with their son Ethan, had always attended.

But with Khloe inheriting Niel

entire stake, the invitation was formally addressed to her. In a fit of pique, Clarice had refused to go. Ethan, following his mother’s lead, had declined as well.

Their boycott was a very public snub, signaling that Khloe was an unwelcome outsider in the Morrison family.

This left her in a precarious position. For someone who needed to build her network and establish authority within Morrison Pharmaceuticals, it was a glaring vulnerability.

So Oscar had decided to escort her personally, determined to ensure she made a powerful entrance and silence the gossip about the “illegitimate daughter.”

By evening, the jet touched down at the gala’s host hotel.

The building soared like a palace of glass, so dazzling it was nicknamed the “Crystal Palace.”

“Dad, so this is Khloe?”

Awaiting them was a tall young man with a refined air. Silver–rimmed glasses framed delicate features, and his eyes held a gentle, intelligent warmth.

Khloe knew who he was from Oscar–her cousin, Michael Morrison, his only son and heir.
