Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Denise’s words snapped everyone back to reality.

Just moments ago, Khloe’s calm, commanding demeanor had genuinely unsettled them. They had almost believed she was the Morrison heiress, issuing orders from some untouchable pedestal. But that… that was impossible.

“Khloe, please, stop pretending! Look at Tina-she’s so innocent, and you actually fooled her!”

“An apology really isn’t that hard, you know. You’re just a nobody, yet you’re acting like a princess!”

This time, no one cared about maintaining any pretense of class or civility. The words grew harsher, the glares toward Khloe sharper, even rolling their eyes so far it seemed impossible.

Denise had been right-only someone struggling would resort to pretending. Until now, they hadn’t realized how vain Khloe could be.

But their voices abruptly stopped when Tina’s phone suddenly rang.

“… Could it be… a call from the Morrison Group?”

Everyone pressed in, disbelief written across their faces, as Tina’s trembling fingers answered.

“Hello?”

On the other end came a calm, authoritative male voice.

“Hello, is this Tina Boswell from Winsky Technologies? This is the Project Department of the Morrison Group. We understand you are interested in our new energy project. Would it be convenient for you to come to the Morrison Tower at Morrison Ave. tomorrow morning for a meeting?”

“Y-yes! Of course! Thank you so much!” Tina stammered, barely able to speak. Her eyes widened as she turned to look at Khloe, feeling as though she were floating, as if in a dream, until the call ended.

The entire room fell into sudden silence.

A few seconds later, Denise lunged for Tina’s phone.

“Wait-did you graduate from drama school? How could Morrison Group possibly call you?”

“That really was from the Morrison Group,” Tina explained. “This number is one of their official lines.”

Someone checked and confirmed it. The number was legitimate and official.

Everyone turned toward Khloe, disbelief frozen on their faces.

…Could it be? Could she actually be connected to the Morrison family?

Those who had mocked Khloe the loudest moments ago went pale, legs shaking. They had risked offending a true powerhouse, all for Denise’s sake.

Denise herself looked as if struck by lightning. She compared the number, digit by digit, to the one listed on Morrison Group’s website. Veins bulged along her neck.

“Liar! This can’t… it’s impossible… how could you possibly have ties to the Morrison family? Khloe, what… what trick did you use?”

“Trick? Denise, do you really think an official line for Morrison Group could just be faked?”
