Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 457

"The Morrison family's heiress? How could that be… Khloe—how could she possibly…"

Every word was spoken clearly, yet to Lauren's ears, each one sounded alien, impossible to comprehend.

She kept repeating what she'd heard, her whole body shaking violently, her face mottled with a sickly purple hue.

How could this… be possible?

A girl who had spent two years as a daughter-in-law in the Fox family—an orphan with no one to rely on—how had she suddenly transformed into the daughter of the richest family?

That orphan who could only cling to Trey, who had to curry favor with the Fox family, walk on eggshells everywhere, and rely on her for protection…

How could Khloe be the daughter of the richest man in the city?!

Yet, some time ago, she had indeed heard rumors that the Morrison family had reclaimed a daughter. The timing seemed to line up almost exactly with Khloe leaving the Fox family.

The light in Lauren's eyes dimmed, slowly losing focus.

If Khloe really was the Morrison heiress, then what the Fox family had suffered…

It wasn't merely destruction brought about by Khloe's calculations—it was—

This time, Lauren truly couldn't stand anymore. All strength drained from her body. She collapsed, and even with people trying to hold her, she still fell heavily to the ground.

"No wonder… no wonder the Morrison Group suddenly cut off cooperation with our family… no wonder the Fox Group was hollowed out…"

Only then did she finally understand why Khloe had been able, in just a few short months, to push the Fox family to the brink of bankruptcy. Why every business partner had begun to avoid them like the plague.

It wasn't that the business world was ruthless—it was that they had offended the one person they should never have crossed.

"Khloe… Khloe, I was wrong…"

The anger drained from Lauren's aged face, leaving only helplessness and desolation.

Thinking of the many warm moments she'd once shared with Khloe, she immediately tried to play the emotional card.

"I was just confused, blinded by anger… I know Trey wronged you, but you've nearly destroyed our family. Please… can you show mercy and let Trey go…"

"I didn't refuse to let him go," Khloe replied. "He chose to humiliate himself."

With that, she turned and prepared to leave.

"Khloe, for the sake of what we once shared, please help our family! Trey knows he was wrong—he truly loves you… He's divorced Angela. You two can—can really start over again…"
