Chapter 559
“How could you think that, Clarice? What would there be for me to be angry about?”
Khloe went along with Clarice’s words, her tone calm and unhurried.
Clarice froze for two seconds before smiling again. “That’s good, then. I’ve had so many matters to handle that I’ve often neglected you and couldn’t support you at the Morrison Group. I was worried you might resent me for that. It seems I was overthinking it.”
After not seeing her for some time, Khloe had clearly matured. She even spoke so effortlessly now,
Neither servile nor overbearing, Khloe casually shifted the awkwardness back onto Clarice-smooth and slippery in just the right way. She really had inherited Niel’s temperament.
Khloe smiled faintly but did not respond, waiting for Clarice to continue. She knew perfectly well that Clarice had not come simply to mend their relationship.
“Come on. I’m staying here tonight too. I’ll walk you back to your room.”
After saying this, Clarice glanced at Delilah, signaling that she could leave.
But Delilah merely stepped back a few paces and followed closely behind them, never straying far.
Khloe’s room was in the neighboring building, right next to the main house. Henry had personally chosen it for her-deep within the estate, with an excellent garden view, quiet and comfortable.
Clarice told Khloe that although Henry appeared calm on the surface, he had made many preparations upon learning she was coming.
The furniture in her room had been completely replaced, all with the newest styles favored by young women.
Along the way, Clarice talked incessantly. Like Henry, she only chatted with Khloe about family matters, not mentioning anything else.
Khloe responded politely throughout. The atmosphere was so harmonious that it almost made her uneasy.
“By the way, how is Nick doing? I heard his injuries have almost healed.”
“Yes, he’s much better now. Thank you for your concern.”
“He’s my son-in-law. Of course, I should be concerned.”
Before they realized it, they had reached the door of Khloe’s room.
Delilah stepped forward to open it for Khloe. The suite was extraordinarily spacious and luxurious, with a view beyond compare.
Clarice entered ahead of Khloe, smiling as she looked around. “This is really nice. The room your grandfather prepared for you isn’t open to just anyone. Many of the items inside were approved by him personally before being arranged. He treasures you, his granddaughter, very much.”
“I’ve made Grandpa worry again. After I freshen up, I’ll go thank him later.”

Khloe followed behind Clarice. Seeing that she still intended to walk further inside, Khloe stepped in front of her with a slight smile.
It was a polite way of seeing her out, and she also exchanged a glance with Delilah.
Delilah understood immediately and spoke up, “Madam Clarice, Master Henry was very satisfied with the
luncheon you arranged today. Before he left, he instructed me to ask you to see him again after the banquet ends.

“Is that so? Then I’ll go right away.” Clarice showed no particular reaction, replying lightly as she turned to
leave.
Khloe escorted her to the doorway. Just then, Clarice suddenly paused.
“Oh, right. Khloe-shouldn’t you and Nick be holding your wedding soon?”
As if recalling something, she turned back to look at her.
This time, her gaze was bright and intent, as though something interesting had been brought up.
Khloe did not understand her meaning and replied coolly, “We’re preparing for it, but the date hasn’t been set yet.”
“That’s good. But don’t set a date too soon… Registering the marriage is one thing. Your news has only been announced internally so far. But a formal wedding would be different. With the stature of our two families, it would stir up a huge commotion both at home and abroad.”

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!...
