Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249

Early yesterday morning, Charlotte received a call from her younger brother, Christopher. The school had refused to process his enrollment due to their family background.

But Charlotte had already spent a significant amount of money to get him into this school. Christopher had just barely gotten into this top city high school, and giving up now would only make future academic prospects even harder.

Just then, a message from Ethan arrived, asking if Charlotte was facing any difficulties and offering his assistance.

Charlotte immediately realized that her brother’s situation was closely tied to Ethan. Without hesitation, she went to find Khloe-but Ethan seemed prepared and intercepted her in the elevator.

“Charlotte,” Ethan said, his tone cold and cutting, “do you really think Khloe can save you? You don’t have any backing. Khloe can help you for now, but she can’t protect you forever. Do you plan to rely on her for the rest of your life? You don’t care about your brother’s future, but what about your mother’s illness-does that not concern you?”

The threat was unmistakable: today it was Christopher, tomorrow it could be their mother. In Goldmont City, the Morrison family’s influence ran deep. Even though Khloe still had some power within Morrison Group, if Ethan decided to use underhanded methods, she might not be able to defend against them.

“I’d never betray Khloe. If I have to, I’ll just resign!” Charlotte said firmly.

“Do as you like,” Ethan replied with a light, dismissive smile. “I’m not as terrifying as you think. I have only a small request. Once you handle this, I promise I won’t bother you again.”

What Ethan wanted was data from a project Khloe had recently taken over.

As the team leader and Khloe’s most trusted subordinate, Charlotte often helped copy files, since only she knew Khloe’s computer password. Core project data, however, required special key access, which Charlotte could not touch.

So, in this case, Ethan really did only need an ordinary project file. He claimed it was to help someone in Clarice’s network compete for a project and would not affect Khloe in any way. But Charlotte did not trust him for a second.

Charlotte spent half an hour in Khloe’s office. When she came out, she ran right into Khloe.

“Charlotte? Were you looking for me?” Khloe asked, surprised to see her emerge from her office.

“Yes, Khloe,” Charlotte said, flustered. “I… I wanted to talk to you about something.”

“Ah, I see. Is this the matter you were going to tell me about the night before last?” Khloe asked gently.

Charlotte nodded. “…Yes, that’s right.”

“Okay, then let’s go inside and talk.”

Khloe was about to enter the office when Ethan appeared in the distance.

Seeing him, Charlotte immediately lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.

“Good morning, Khloe,” Ethan greeted, and Khloe returned a professional smile. “Good morning, Ethan.”

“There’s a brief meeting I’d like you to attend. A few company decisions need to be made-it won’t take long,” Ethan said, his eyes briefly sweeping over Charlotte before returning to Khloe. “Everyone’s waiting.”

“All right, I’ll head there now,” Khloe said, dismissing him politely, then turned to Charlotte. “I’ll be back soon.
