Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 577

The bodyguards trailing behind nearly felt their souls leave their bodies, their legs trembling under them.

After all, Henry had never been this lenient. Even Michael, the most spoiled grandson, risked a stiff reprimand whenever he displeased Henry.

For the servants and attendants, angering him could cost more than a reprimand—it could be life-threatening.

But today? Henry simply waved his hand, allowing them to step aside, indulging Khloe with an almost weightless leniency.

It was clear: he truly liked her.

Henry saw Khloe standing there and smiled warmly, patting the seat beside him. His hoarse voice drifted across the room, slow and deliberate, as he uttered a single word, "Sit."

The tone was gentle, yet the aura it carried was entirely different from before—immense, commanding, and impossible to ignore.

Khloe hesitated. She studied him for a moment, then glanced to the side at Clarice.

"Clarice, you're not leaving?"

Henry had dismissed everyone else, but had left Clarice behind. She sat there calmly, sipping tea as if watching a play, utterly unbothered. Her unusual quietness was unsettling; anyone who thrived on Khloe's misfortune would never act so neutral.

"Khloe, Clarice is like a mother to you. There's no need for formalities. Sit. Speak slowly; take your time."

Clarice still didn't move. Henry, noticing this, poured a cup of tea for Khloe as well, the cup landing with a slightly heavier sound.

Khloe still didn't sit. "Grandpa… do you dislike me?"

"Dislike you?" The old man shook his head. "How could I? You're my granddaughter, and you're so capable. I feel nothing but pride."

Khloe pressed on. "Then what have I done to upset you?"

"Nothing," Henry replied again.
