Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236

“What’s wrong?” Khloe’s voice was soft and hazy, tinged with shyness as she whispered, “Did I… make you uncomfortable?”

“Of course not,” Nick’s voice was hoarse, almost breaking from the intensity. “It’s just… I can’t bear it.”

Khloe was utterly alluring, yet pure and flawless, like a treasure. Even the slightest pain to her made his chest ache unbearably.

“You’re so precious…” His Adam’s apple bobbed as he spoke, each word strained yet resolute. “I want to wait… until after the wedding to give you a perfect night, a wedding night worthy of a lifetime of memories.”

Khloe’s eyes trembled-partly in surprise, partly in overwhelming emotion. “Nick…”

But before she could say more, he adjusted her collar, pulling her gently into his embrace, his palm pressed firmly against her back.

She had been prepared, yet Nick’s determination made her feel cherished, more so than she had ever felt herself. The stirring warmth in her chest transformed unfulfilled desire into tenderness.

A tenderness softer than the moonlight spilling across her skin.

Meanwhile, Trey spent the night tossing and turning, sleepless.

Hearing Khloe say she was married-and knowing there was really a man beside her-he felt as if his head and chest would explode.

Impossible. Khloe didn’t know the truth of their fake marriage… how could she possibly marry someone else?

Was she trying to provoke him…?

Could she really be with another man just to make him jealous?

The thought that he had never even been with her-and that another man might now have her-made Trey want to die right then.

By four in the morning, he could no longer bear it. He called his assistant, demanding they find Khloe’s address by any means necessary.

No wonder she could endure so long without coming to him…

He had to see for himself if Khloe really had someone else.

…

The next morning, Nick arrived at the Hunt Group headquarters and immediately instructed Lenny to obtain a full investigative report on the Fox Group.

Khloe had mentioned wanting to personally take revenge on the Fox family, so originally, Nick hadn’t intended

to intervene.

But now, with Trey dragging his name into the mess, if he didn’t act, Trey might think he was too soft-hearted.

“Fox Group is preparing for an IPO?” Nick raised an eyebrow as he scanned the report.

Whether they were going public or on the verge of bankruptcy, they didn’t even seem clear on their own prospects.

“Sir, the Chairman warned you not to intervene,” Lenny reminded him quickly.

George had stressed it repeatedly: the family had finally secured its domestic standing. If he acted impulsively on personal feelings against another company, the family’s reputation would suffer. Most importantly, once you act, others follow suit-he didn’t want Nick to lose control because of Khloe.

“Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?” Nick said coldly. “I’m interested in all Fox Group’s projects. Take them over. Make a subtle announcement in the relevant sectors of Goldmont City. That’s all.”

If the projects were snatched, and rumors quietly spread, Fox Group wouldn’t be able to hold firm-no direct confrontation needed.

But the operation had to remain discreet, or George would step in.
