Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 453

"Khloe! Khloe!"

Lauren shouted her name at the top of her lungs, shoving past the security guards as she tried to force her way toward Khloe. The people she'd brought with her joined the scuffle.

The guards' expressions hardened.

"Ma'am, given your age, we really don't want to use force," the head of security said coolly. "The homeowner here holds a distinguished status. Visitors are not allowed. Please don't cause a disturbance."

"Homeowner? What homeowner?" Lauren snapped, her anger exploding. "She's my granddaughter-in-law!"

Spittle flew from her mouth, splashing onto the security captain's face.

"And 'distinguished status'? Do you know the house she lives in was bought with my grandson's money?!"

Seething with rage, Lauren swung her handbag and slammed it into the security captain. Because she was elderly, no one dared to strike back. For a moment, she actually forced them to retreat step by step.

The security captain shot a look to his colleagues. Several guards continued blocking Lauren, while one of them broke away and ran after Khloe and Nick.

Khloe had vaguely heard someone calling her name. Just as she turned around, a uniformed guard hurried over.

"Miss Roswell. Mr. Hunt."

He spoke respectfully, then gestured toward the compound entrance. "There's an elderly woman… claiming to be your grandmother. She insists on seeing you. What would you like us to do?"

Ever since Trey had harassed Khloe, Nick had instructed property management to restrict access to this residence. No outsiders were allowed in—no exceptions, no notifications—unless it was Nick himself, family members, or people Khloe personally brought in.

If it weren't for the fact that this was an elderly woman—and that Khloe happened to be outside—they would have simply followed procedure and removed her.

Khloe glanced over and immediately spotted Lauren.

Nick lowered his gaze slightly. "Someone from the Fox family?"

"Since she's so eager to see you, why not give her the courtesy?"

Khloe knew Nick couldn't tolerate her being wronged even a little. If Lauren said anything ugly, Nick would never let it slide.

She had already begun a new life. Her resentment toward the Fox family had nearly faded away. She'd intended to draw a clear line between past and present—no more entanglements.

Besides, Lauren's health wasn't good. Khloe had always wanted to leave her some dignity.

Seeing that Khloe said nothing, the guard immediately went to bring Lauren over.

When Lauren heard that Khloe had agreed to see her, her momentum surged back at once. She shoved aside the people still trying to hold her back and strode quickly toward Khloe.

Even so, several guards positioned themselves firmly in front of Khloe and Nick, forming a tight barrier—fully alert, guarding against any sudden move from Lauren.
