Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 772

Khloe didn't respond to Angela's words. Instead, she let a mocking smile play across her lips—a smile that landed like a slap, sharp and heavy, across Angela's face.

Angela's brows furrowed in frustration. She was being held firmly, unable to struggle or move.

Michelle stepped forward, her tone cool and teasing. "Now I see what it means to be a villain who complains first. 'Ruthless'? Don't flatter yourself by calling yourself that—you're so far past it that even that word is an insult."

"Khloe," Angela continued, teeth gritted, "I heard Nick is gravely ill… I'm genuinely worried for you. You finally got married, and now—are you already starting your widowhood?"

The words made Angela's blood boil, but she knew squabbling with Michelle was pointless. She pressed on, speaking slowly and deliberately toward Khloe.

But Khloe loosened her grip on Angela's face slightly, her lips curling into an even sharper, colder smile. Angela's insults didn't even register as an emotional ripple.

When Angela finished, Khloe opened her hand, as if signaling she had no more interest in the confrontation. Angela's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Then, almost immediately after taking a step back, Khloe spun around and slapped Angela hard across the face.

Angela was startled and hadn't even had time to react when Khloe followed with three consecutive slaps, each one heavy and precise.

Blood instantly filled Angela's mouth. The guards held her arms firmly, and though her rage surged, she couldn't retaliate.

"Khloe!!!" Angela's voice cracked with fury, words stumbling out in disbelief. "You… you dare hit me! I—I'm calling the police!"

Khloe lowered her head. Her palms stung from the force she had used. Michelle blinked, shocked at how a woman who looked so composed could erupt with such ferocity—but then her lips curved in satisfaction.

She shook her head. Angela hadn't laid a hand on her, but the scene had ruined her appetite and her mood.

Michelle walked alongside Khloe and shot Lenny a sly look. "Don't underestimate Khloe. All you ever do is ask if she's okay. This is Hunt Group territory—what exactly did you think was going to happen?"

Lenny fell silent, a little embarrassed by the jab, and didn't dare respond.

Michelle caught his flustered expression and couldn't help but feel a flicker of satisfaction.

Always hovering around Khloe like she might fall apart at any second... but when Michelle was right there with her, no one even thought to ask if she was okay.

Still, as they walked, a faint unease crept over Michelle. Something felt off.
