Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 484

"If I don't do this, do you promise not to tell Khloe?"

Ethan's words immediately shut Charlotte up.

She blinked, stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Eavesdropping in my office, and you still act so righteous? I treat you well, yet you insist on being Khloe's spy. Do you know how much that hurts me?"

His voice was calm but threaded with amusement—a teasing, deliberate mockery.

Ethan loved to provoke Charlotte, but that didn't mean he couldn't see through her intentions.

Originally, he had considered letting it slide for the sake of the tea. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that if things went wrong, he'd be the one to take the fall.

Charlotte had no mercy when it came to testing him. Fine—then he wouldn't hold back either.

Charlotte paled. "I didn't eavesdrop! I was just bringing you the health tea…"

"What did you hear?"

Ethan cut her off. Then, before she could answer, he added, "But it doesn't matter. Until this deal is closed, you'll stay with me the whole time. I won't do anything to you."

"You—Ethan! Don't you have any shame? A gentleman doesn't take advantage of the vulnerable! You're exploiting the trust I gave you!"

Her voice rose, but she still looked delicate and pitiful, her expression full of innocence.

Ethan gave her a sharp glance, then slammed the car to a stop by the roadside. Before Charlotte could react, he snatched her phone from her hands.

If he hadn't seen her trying to send a message, he might have felt guilty, thinking he'd gone too far and hurt a naive girl again.

"You bastard!" Charlotte struggled, but her strength was no match for him.

He didn't even glance at her as he forced the phone off and secured it on his own person.
