Chapter 519
Winnie’s legs seemed no longer under her control. They carried her obediently after Michael.
Mr. Olson flared with anger and called out to Winnie again.
Before she could react, Michael turned back to face him.
“Oh, and please return Winnie’s phone.”
As he spoke, Michael extended his hand toward the man.
Mr. Olson hesitated, clenched his jaw, and reluctantly handed over the phone. Then he turned to Winnie again. Are you really going to leave with Michael? Once you walk out that door, do you know what consequences you’ll face?”
Winnie’s mind was already in chaos, but Michael did not stop. Almost forcibly, he dragged her out of the Olson residence. He left her no room to retreat and no longer asked for her consent.
Only when they stepped outside the gate did the night wind hit her face-cold and sharp, yet strangely liberating.
That sense of release lasted only a few seconds before it was smothered again by the shadow that followed.
Winnie snapped back to herself and shook off Michael’s hand.
“Michael, that’s enough. You can go now.”
As she said it, she felt despicable. Deep down, she longed for his company. Yet, when he truly stood by her side, she could not accept it openly.
Michael glanced at her, pushed his glasses back up the bridge of his nose, and seized her hand again, almost dragging her into his car.
“Michael… what are you doing? I can’t go to your house. If your father finds out-”
“My father is my problem. If you don’t want to go to my house, we’ll go somewhere else.”
Michael was rarely this forceful.
With that, he turned the steering wheel and drove off at speed.
As if determined to put as much distance as possible between her and the Olson family, Michael drove to another district and checked her into a suite at one of the hotels owned by his company.
It was already late, and Winnie did not resist anymore.
But once the door was closed, Michael showed no sign of leaving.
She had thought he was only settling her in. Yet, when she saw him loosen his collar and turn toward the bathroom to wash up, she grew nervous.
“Michael, aren’t you going home?”

“If I go home, what about you? Will you still go to work at Morrison Group tomorrow morning and then return to the Olson family at night to beg for forgiveness?”
Winnie hesitated, unable to answer.
Did she really have another choice?
Khloe had finally given her a chance-could she afford to give it up?
Her mother’s inheritance-how could she simply hand it over to the Olson family?
Besides, she had endured years of living under someone else’s roof. If she left the Olson family just like this, she would only feel more lost about the future.
“Winnie, if there’s something you want to do, you should do it immediately. Otherwise, you may never be able to do it in your entire life. If you truly want to leave the Olson family, you shouldn’t wait until everything is perfectly prepared.”
Michael’s words were reasonable, and she understood them.
Still, she turned her head slightly away. “You’re not me. You don’t understand…”
“I don’t,” Michael said. “But I know you weren’t always someone who retreated so easily. If I were you, even if it cost me everything, I would-”
“Michael!” she interrupted. “You’re an heir who grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth. You’re strong- minded and emotionally stable. You’re good at everything. I believe that even if you left the Morrison family, you’d still live well. But you’ve never been in my position. You don’t know my fear, my feelings… There are times when a person’s helplessness is shaped by their circumstances!”

The readers' comments on the novel: Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy)
This is the story that I like reading. The heroine got the hold of the situation right away. No humiliation, no injustice, which keep the readers feeling bad all the way while waiting for the right thing to settle in favor of the heroine. Good storyline,congrats writer!...
