Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386

But neither Stanley nor Alicia seemed to notice this. All they saw was Khloe stepping forward in heels, every movement elegant and controlled as she approached them.

“Khloe, don’t take it personally. Alicia just lost control-really, we can talk-”

Stanley tried to smooth things over, offering a diplomatic out. After all, he wasn’t a Fox family member.

Khloe now had the capability to run the company as CEO. This was her own accomplishment, not anyone else’s. He didn’t want to get caught in the middle of old grudges. He just wanted to stay neutral and play the good guy.

But a single glance from Khloe froze him. Before he could react, strong hands grabbed him from behind, muffling his mouth.

“Alicia… I heard you right, didn’t I? You cursed me?”

Khloe stopped in front of Alicia, lips curving slightly.

Alicia was being held down by three bodyguards, her mouth blocked. But Khloe lifted her chin subtly, signaling the guards to release their grip on her, giving Alicia the chance to speak.

“Of course! I curse you, Khloe! You bitch!”

Alicia spat out the words with all the force she could muster, undaunted by Khloe.

But it was as if Khloe had been waiting for her to finish. The moment the words left Alicia’s mouth, a hand- sharp as a blade-struck across her face.

Pain exploded through Alicia’s head. Her vision darkened instantly, blood filled her mouth, the metallic tang overwhelming. The bodyguards pressed her arms down, leaving no room to dodge.

Khloe twisted her wrist. She deliberately struck with the hand wearing two rings. The massive diamonds on her fingers caught the light like lethal weapons. She had rotated just enough for the gems to dig into Alicia’s flesh.

Stanley froze, alarmed at the force Khloe used. He couldn’t move, and he realized with a jolt that everyone else had vanished-only they and Khloe remained. Where had the security gone?
