But now, Spence had taken control of Lacuna. Clarice had completely cut ties with the Davis family, and Niel was no longer a restraint in her life.
At last, the two of them could truly be together.
What Spence hadn't expected was that after they reunited, Clarice still refused to give up on taking control of the Morrison Group.
Ignoring Spence's attempts to stop her, she insisted on returning to Goldmont City to continue her battle with Khloe.
Only then did Spence finally understand. Even though he now had the power to support Clarice's ambitions, she remained obsessed with the Morrison Group.
It wasn't that she absolutely needed the Morrison Group. It was that she hated Niel. She had to settle the score and determine a winner. Even if it meant risking her own life, she would not back down.
Knowing he couldn't stop her, Spence had no choice but to tell Clarice that Nick was still alive, allowing her to use that information as leverage against Khloe.
The people from Lacuna had been searching relentlessly for Nick. Alive or dead—they had to find him.
Finally, just a few days ago, they discovered traces of Nick and Noah.
Clarice suddenly fell silent, staring coldly at Khloe.
Khloe understood immediately and said, "Everyone, please step outside. I want to speak with her alone."
Lenny was about to protest, but Khloe stopped him with a glance. She walked over to the police officer responsible for guarding Clarice and whispered a few words.
The officer was reluctant, but out of respect for Khloe, he still allowed them five minutes alone.
The moment the others left, Khloe immediately pressed Clarice for answers. She didn't believe a single word the woman said. But any news about Nick—even if it was false—was something she refused to ignore.
Clarice leisurely admired the barely restrained tension on Khloe's face while vividly recounting the scene on the bus that day.
She only stopped when Khloe's tears were on the verge of falling.
Though she never finished the story, every word implied the same message—Nick was in their hands. He was now covered in wounds. Even if he was still alive today, there was no guarantee he would survive tomorrow.
Lenny had already been waiting anxiously. If Khloe hadn't come out soon, he would have forced the door open himself.
"Madam…"
Seeing her pale expression, Lenny instinctively scanned her from head to toe.
"Let's go," Khloe said simply.
She didn't elaborate further and immediately left with him.
On the way back, Lenny wanted to ask several times what had happened, but seeing Khloe's distant, distracted state, he held back.
After returning to the Hunt Group, Khloe threw herself into preparing for the bidding project. She worked until evening before finally calling Lenny into her office.
"Lenny, you handle matters carefully," she said quietly. "Tomorrow morning, contact my lawyer. I want a full review of all the assets under my name—and I need you to help draft a transfer agreement for every asset I own."

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!...
