Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 454

"You can say whatever you need to say right here," the head of security said coldly.

"Khloe, you really are something," Lauren snapped. "So this is the pretty boy you found? Is he why you've been so heartless toward Trey? Do you have any idea—Trey hasn't been able to eat or sleep because of you. He's sick now…"

Her voice was sharp and piercing. Doctors had warned her not to get angry or emotionally agitated, but at this point, she didn't care. She jabbed a finger at Khloe's face, wishing she had another mouth just to curse her harder.

"A pretty boy?" Khloe cut in softly before the old woman could finish. "Mind your words. He's my legal husband—and someone your family can't afford to offend."

She was being firmly held by Nick, her body instinctively leaning into his chest. That intimate posture only poured fuel on Lauren's fury.

Enraged beyond restraint, Lauren sneered loudly. "Legal husband? You've only been separated from Trey for a few months, and you already have a husband? Khloe, you really are shameless and fickle. I misjudged you back then!

"Hah—this pretty boy, someone the Fox family can't afford to offend? Khloe, just where did you pick him up? What kind of place did you crawl out of to find a man like this, to the point you've lost all reason?

"If you hadn't used those despicable tricks to ruin our family, what right would he have to stand beside you, acting all high and mighty? Do you really think the money you scammed can buy you a carefree life with him forever?"

Lauren was truly beside herself. Every word she hurled at Khloe was venomous.

"Have you said enough?" Khloe's ears burned as she finally lost her patience and snapped back. "Trey used deception to fake-marry me for years! He's more despicable than the men in nightclubs, let alone worthy of being compared to my husband!

"And my husband is not some 'pretty boy.' We are well matched, and we love each other. He's outstanding, wealthy, and upright. Your entire family couldn't even compare to a single strand of his hair—"

If the old woman had only insulted her, Khloe might have endured it. But every sentence was an attack on Nick, and that sent her anger surging.

As for Nick, these crude insults meant nothing to him.
