Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 505

Driven to the brink of collapse, Angela lashed out the moment she spoke. Her eyes were red, and her voice trembled with fear as she said it.

But her hatred for Khloe was stronger still.

Winnie let out a cold laugh. "Begging and groveling? I think that description suits you far better. Groveling to a man, stealing someone else's work for Trey, getting exposed right to your face—and you still have the nerve to deny it? Angela, you old hag."

If there was anyone in the entire conference room with the greatest attack power, it was undoubtedly Winnie.

Those last four words nearly gave Angela a heart attack.

No one had ever attacked her by calling out her age before!

Even though Angela really was five or six years older than them, she took excellent care of herself. From her figure and looks to her posture, she did not lose to any woman in her early twenties.

Yet, Winnie's comment ground her pride into the dirt.

Michael felt Winnie had gone a bit too far. As he turned to look at her, he lightly tapped her swinging leg under the table with his hand.

Catching Michael's hint, Winnie pressed her lips together, suddenly subdued, like a child being called out by a parent.

"Angela, I'll ask you one last time. To secure the Solara Energy project—did you plagiarize my thesis data or not?"

Khloe's gaze drifted slightly, as if lost in thought. She tapped the USB drive in her hand lightly against the tabletop, producing a faint sound.

The conference room was utterly silent.

Angela let out a snort. Seeing Khloe still giving her a chance, she became convinced that Khloe was merely trying to pressure her.

Khloe would never be kind enough to offer her a real way out.

"Khloe, you say I plagiarized you. Do you have any evidence? If you can't produce proof, then I'll have to consider suing your Morrison Group for slander and defamation."

Hearing Angela say this, Khloe no longer hesitated.

"Michael."

Michael turned the computer around and connected it to the large screen.

"Angela, what the hell is this?"

Confronted with Ethan's question, Angela could not answer. She looked around and felt as though every gaze in the room were cutting her to pieces.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Michael said, "We've already sent this evidence to Solara Energy. Angela, your actions constitute fraud. Before Solara Energy's representatives arrive, I'm afraid you'll have to remain in Goldmont City for a while."

Solara Energy… already knew?

Angela thought of Barney, and her heart lurched.

After Michael finished speaking, his eyes met Khloe's.

The task she had entrusted to him had been carried out perfectly.

Michael still had other matters to attend to. His assistant packed up his things, and the group prepared to leave.

Khloe quietly thanked Michael—this time, it was truly thanks to his help.
