Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 576

576 /640

There was no response from inside. The bodyguards' one-after-another reassurances only seemed to fuel Khloe's determination, and the banging against the door grew louder and more violent.

Fearing she would seriously hurt herself, one of the bodyguards quickly pulled out his phone to contact Henry.

But just as Khloe felt herself nearing exhaustion, the door suddenly swung open from the outside.

She couldn't stop in time. Wrapped in the quilt, she tumbled forward, hitting the floor with a thud.

The guards were quick, but they couldn't fully catch her.

Fortunately, the quilt cushioned her fall. She wasn't badly hurt—definitely not as painful as when she had been ramming the door just moments ago.

But she didn't have time to care about the soreness crawling through her body. Pushing the guards aside, she scrambled to her feet and surged forward a few steps.

"Is this Henry's idea? Is this how you were told to treat me? Do you even know how many times I slammed against that door? My body feels like it's about to fall apart!"

Khloe deliberately flushed her cheeks, shouting to make herself look more dramatic, terrified they might try to approach her again.

Sure enough, at her words, every single guard froze, then immediately bowed their heads in fear.

"We're sorry, Miss Khloe! Master Henry would never give such instructions! Please don't misunderstand!"

"Misunderstand? You mean I have to see Henry myself to clear things up? Then hurry and take me to him! Otherwise… I'll break myself on this door today!"

She deliberately deepened her tone, giving it a ruthless edge.

The guards still didn't move to stop her, heads bowed low.

The lead bodyguard quickly spoke up. "No problem, Miss Khloe. Master Henry is waiting for you. We'll take you there right now."

Seeing that Khloe was no fragile heiress but a force to be reckoned with, the guards' nerves stayed taut all the way.

She strode at the front, slippers nearly flying off her feet. By the time she reached Henry's bedroom, she hadn't even given anyone a chance to announce her—she practically stormed in.
