Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533

But later, something went wrong. Spence was betrayed and forced to leave Lacuna.

Before he departed, he specifically instructed his buddies in the organization to look after Clarice.

Clarice had been unwilling to let him go. She had even considered abandoning everything to follow him-but Spence could not take her with him.

He carried too many debts, too many unknowns in his future. Bringing Clarice along would only burden them

both.

More importantly, Spence understood her. Clarice was not a woman who survived on sentiment alone.

Her ambitions burned fiercely. The black vitality coursing through her veins was fueled by hatred and determination. She aimed for the pinnacle of wealth and power-and as long as this material world existed, she would never stop.

After Spence left, Clarice was unprotected. Alone, she could not stand against the many forces arrayed against her. In the Davis household, her wings were not yet fully grown, and gradually, she drifted out of the family’s core inheritance circle.

At her lowest, when despair and helplessness threatened to consume her, Niel appeared.

What was meant to be a purely transactional, mutually beneficial marriage arrangement turned into something Clarice had not expected-Niel treated her well.

After Spence left, his trusted aides still looked out for Clarice to some extent, but his enemies, unable to reach Spence, turned their attention to her. No one dared make trouble over someone who had vanished-but Clarice was kidnapped and brutally violated on the eve of her marriage to Niel.

It was Niel himself who rescued her, bringing a huge sum of money and confronting the danger alone.

Spence’s enemies were nothing if not desperate men. Niel knew that going alone might cost him his life, yet after a moment of hesitation, he went anyway.

They survived, but the ordeal left Niel utterly incapable of having children.

Clarice felt an overwhelming guilt toward him and promised to stay by his side for life-even if they could never have children. At that time, she believed their devotion was genuine and mutual.

Niel understood her needs. He personally guided her out of the shadow of the Davis household and built a business empire together with her. Clarice threw her entire passion into the Morrison family, dedicating every ounce of energy she had.

But she never expected love could be so treacherous.

After Niel fell ill and passed away, a previously unknown illegitimate daughter appeared.

Not a word of this had he ever mentioned to her.

Even worse, Niel had secretly left a will granting all his assets-including the Morrison Group-to his biological daughter!

And what was she in all of this?

All the affection she had given, all the sacrifices she had made-what did it mean?

Why, after rare and sincere devotion, had he still betrayed her?

She hated Niel.

Her hatred for him had long surpassed that for the Davis family, long surpassed anyone else who had wronged her.

She would reclaim the Morrison family-even if she had to destroy it to do so. And Khloe… she wanted to destroy her too.

Because Khloe carried Niel’s blood-the blood of Niel and some unknown woman. A bastard.

Clarice stayed on the phone for a long time.
