Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544

Charlotte had warned Christopher a thousand times that Ethan wasn’t a good person, but he just wouldn’t listen.

“Christopher, you don’t usually like buying so many things. Tell me, Ethan forced you into it, didn’t he?”

Charlotte couldn’t afford to pay back 300 thousand dollars. Even if it went to the police, as long as Christopher insisted he hadn’t wanted any of it, there was no way Ethan would let a student foot the bill.

Christopher looked torn. Before he could speak, Charlotte’s voice rose again. “Christopher! 300 thousand dollars! We haven’t even paid off Mom’s medical bills! Are you trying to kill me?”

“I…” Christopher glanced at Ethan.

He understood his sister perfectly, but he also didn’t want to pin all the blame on Ethan. After all, Ethan had been so kind to them, especially to him.

“Charlotte, Ethan didn’t do anything wrong… It’s all my fault. I messed up, I’m sorry!”

“Alright, don’t pressure him. I was just teasing you earlier-you don’t need to pay me back.”

Ethan had originally planned to torment Charlotte a bit more, but seeing Christopher defy his sister rather than sell him out, he couldn’t help feeling a little softhearted.

Yes, at the mall, he had subtly guided Christopher into spending-but the boy had only spoken the truth. In his eyes, Ethan was a genuinely good person. For the first time, Ethan felt a little of an “idol complex” about himself.

“Ethan,” Charlotte snapped, “you just wanted me and Christopher to owe you favors. But I can’t repay that kind of debt. Christopher doesn’t need any of these things. If you’re not trying to make trouble for us, take them back!

She knew Ethan’s generosity wasn’t entirely free.

Over the past few days, he hadn’t been terrible to be around. But he knew women too well, had the audacity to exploit his charm and wealth, and bit by bit, wormed his way into their hearts. That was the truly frightening part. Even someone as sharp and sensible as Nancy had fallen under his spell. It was no wonder Christopher had been deceived too.

Since she’d confronted Ethan herself, she no longer believed he harbored any feelings for her. His attentions toward Christopher now must have some ulterior motive-revenge, or preparation for future leverage.

Ethan opened his mouth to say something, but Christopher tugged on his arm.

“Ethan, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let you spend so much today-it’s all my fault. Charlotte’s upset too… these things are far too valuable. Please take them back.”

Christopher didn’t know what else to do but beg. “If these things aren’t useful to you, I can sell them online, and I’ll work to pay the difference later.”

Seeing the boy’s earnest expression, Ethan suddenly lost all interest in arguing with Charlotte. It was… boring. Sometimes, these poor people were just tedious.

Stepping forward, he took back the shopping bags under Charlotte’s icy glare-but then, without hesitation, he tossed them beside the trash can.

“Fine. These are the things I bought, but I don’t want them anymore-they’re garbage. Christopher, if you need them, go ahead and pick them up.”

His tone was cold. He ignored the siblings after that, especially Charlotte. Every time he saw the sheer hatred etched on her face, he felt a strange, suffocating weight in his chest.

Was he breaking some cosmic law?

There was Khloe-no blood relation, yet treated like family by Charlotte. There was Nancy-another casualty of circumstances.

And all this time, the care he had shown her… had it never made her think, even for a second, that he might have some worth?
