Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520

Winnie cut Michael off, her face burning red.

Whenever she faced Michael, she flared up at the slightest spark, because he always managed to hit the sore spot of her inferiority with uncanny precision.

After she finished speaking, she saw a flicker of shock cross his face, followed by a complicated mix of emotions in his eyes. Seeing the way she had hurt him made her feel miserable too.

The atmosphere fell into silence, awkwardness hanging thick in the air.

Winnie turned back to the bedroom and closed the door behind her. She didn’t turn on the light. Pulling the blanket over her head, she let the darkness swallow her whole.

No one knew better than she did that her excuses and evasions only made her look more pathetic.

They were just like the words her mother had spoken to the Olson family before she died—

“She’s just like her father… If it really comes to it, then abandon her.”

Winnie didn’t know when she fell asleep. When she woke again, the sky was already pale with dawn.

She stepped out of the room, thinking Michael had left. But just as she was about to go to the bathroom, she saw him sitting up from the wide sofa in the living room.

He had slept there all night, wrapped in nothing but a thin blanket.

“Michael… you’re still here?”

Winnie was startled, and guilt suddenly surged through her.

Half-awake, Michael answered softly. After pulling himself together and putting on his glasses, he stood and smoothed the wrinkles from his shirt.

“I was too tired last night and didn’t leave. How about you-did you sleep well?”

He walked past her, took off his watch, and went to wash his face.

Winnie muttered to herself-no matter what, her bed must have been more comfortable than a sofa.

“Um… Michael, about yesterday… the way I spoke…”

She hesitated, trying to apologize, but the words burned on her tongue.

With the tap running, Michael said in a muffled voice, “I’m used to the way you talk. The Olson family curries favor with Clarice, and now, you’ve offended Ethan. They’ll definitely take this chance to make trouble for you. For now, I think you shouldn’t go back.”

Winnie felt even more ashamed. 1

Yesterday, she had only vented her own emotions, while Michael had been thinking about her situation the whole time.

“I’ve thought it through. The Olson family is afraid of Clarice, but they also won’t dare offend Khloe and Nick. I’ll ask Khloe to step in and say a word for you. At the very least, the Olson family won’t dare use this as an excuse anymore.”

His words stunned her.

He had already prepared a way out for her.

But by Michael’s logic, she shouldn’t go back at all.

When he had ignored his own position and his father’s warnings to drag her away last night, he had already made up his mind.

From now on, he would protect her.

Without the Olson family, would Winnie really be unable to survive in Goldmont?

Yet, after hearing what she said, Michael couldn’t help but reflect.

All this time, he had been expecting her to think and act as if she were in the same position as him.

But if he were truly in her place, he might not be able to cut ties with the Olson family so decisively or give up what was rightfully hers.

And deep down… she probably didn’t want to rely on him either.
