Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305

Oscar took a steadying breath and lowered his voice. “Something has happened to Nick.”

Khloe’s body swayed slightly. She braced her palm against the table, holding her breath as she waited for him to continue.

“What… happened to him?”

Oscar didn’t dare meet her eyes. He sighed softly. “He was seriously injured in an accident in the mountains. His condition isn’t optimistic… If he doesn’t make it, I’m worried about your marriage alliance-”

“What do you mean, ‘doesn’t make it’?”

Khloe cut him off, her voice trembling. The moment she heard that something had happened to Nick, it felt as if the blood in her head surged and throbbed violently. She could no longer think.

That afternoon, Clarice had just returned home when she saw Ethan already waiting at the entrance.

She glanced at him, dismissed the assistant beside her, and placed her handbag and coat into the crook of Ethan’s arm.

“Is it done?”

“It’s been taken care of. Just as you expected, the Hunt family should have heard the news by now.”

Ethan spoke in a low voice.

When Clarice had instructed him earlier to contact that mysterious person and pass along Nick’s travel itinerary, he had already guessed that she intended to make a move against Nick.

Clarice might not rank highly in the business world, but her connections ran deep-both above and below the surface. Especially internationally.

Only recently had Ethan learned that before marrying Niel, Clarice had once been involved with a powerful international figure-someone who was anything but easy to deal with.

When clean methods didn’t work, Clarice was more than willing to take a ruthless, unconventional path. It was hard to say whether she hadn’t already played a role back when she helped Niel and the Morrison Group monopolize the pharmaceutical industry in Goldmont City.

Back in the study, Ethan closed the door and continued reporting to her.

The Hunt family had already rushed to Nick’s side. Those who went were Loretta and Arista. George was still attending an international summit, and there had been no word yet of him leaving.

Clarice hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. Those people had moved fast-less than half a day after the information was released. She had assumed it would take at least a full day.

And the word was that the accident happened in the mountains. Weren’t those people usually fond of tampering with vehicles instead?

But she didn’t care about the details. As long as the goal was achieved, that was enough.

A mocking smile curled at Clarice’s lips. “George really is the most cold-blooded of the Hunts. His son might be dying, and his first thought is probably still how to stabilize the company.”

“…Mom, is this really good for the Hunt family?”

Ethan couldn’t help but speak up. In his view, the Hunt family was still an important partner.

“Nick is protecting Khloe. I had no choice but to resort to this.” Clarice was in a good mood and didn’t scold Ethan for questioning her.

She went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle as if to celebrate, and picked up two glasses.

She handed one to Ethan.

Ethan hurried to pour the wine, but his brows were tightly knit.

“But even if something happens to Nick and the Hunt family is overwhelmed, I don’t think Khloe will necessarily be affected.”

Ethan knew exactly what Clarice was planning. He had seen Oscar’s car that morning.

The Morrison Group had a major project launching soon-a new drug about to hit the market. Oscar was one of the investors. If Khloe failed to show up at the company at a time like this and something went wrong, it would be a serious mistake-enough to get her removed from her position.

Those words came straight from his heart.

Perhaps Nick had deep feelings, but Ethan didn’t believe Khloe was someone ruled by emotion.

She had been entangled with Trey for six years, yet turned around and retaliated so ruthlessly that the Fox family nearly went bankrupt.

And with Michelle by Nick’s side, Ethan had already tipped her off earlier. This time, she had grown smarter. The news of Nick’s injury was still being kept under wraps, yet their “intimate photos” had already leaked.
