Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 793

But Khloe had made it clear—once she saw Michelle, she would ask for her wishes. If Michelle didn't want to get involved in the feud between the Hunt Group and Solara Energy, leaving was fine. At least the Keller family wouldn't get dragged into it.

But if Michelle wanted to come back, Khloe's exact words were that she would wait.

Yet… this wasn't how things were supposed to go at all.

Charlotte quickly explained the situation to Khloe. The "kidnapping" message had actually been sent by Michelle herself. Neither she nor Noah had known about it beforehand.

Michelle had never been pressured like this by her parents before. Furious, she had stormed out of the airport and bought a new phone. Charlotte hadn't expected that Michelle's first act with her new phone would be to send her mother a fake kidnapping message as a form of revenge. Noah had intervened as soon as he discovered it, confiscating the phone to prevent any further trouble.

Now, the three of them were at Khloe's residence.

"Michelle, why are you acting so impulsively? If this escalates, I could never clear my name!"

Back at the house, Khloe, Lenny, Charlotte… and even Noah tried to reason with Michelle. But she still refused to go see her father.

Time ticked by, and finally, Khloe lost her patience. She had come for Michelle not to scold or punish her, but as a partner, someone she trusted and supported fully. And yet, Michelle was still carried away by her emotions.

Michelle had been pampered her whole life. She couldn't accept her parents treating her like this. Her revenge wasn't just defiance—it was meant to make them regret it, to regret ever trying to control her.

Lenny had once been prejudiced against Michelle. But after seeing this, how she would rather risk conflict with her parents than betray Khloe, he had changed his opinion of her.

Michelle, raised as a pampered heiress, naturally had a bit of arrogance. But Khloe was right—her intentions were essentially pure. Any woman with even a hint of cunning wouldn't have chosen such a foolish method for revenge.

"Michelle," Lenny said sincerely, trying to reassure her. "There's no point in sulking with your parents. Khloe and I will go back with you. Talk it out with your father. He dotes on you—this overreaction of yours was only because he wanted to protect you. Now that he's worried, he probably won't pressure you again."

Michelle's lips curled in a cold smile. "They're not worried about me. They just want to preserve the image of being doting parents."

"Whether your parents are perfect or not, at least you still have them. That's more than I ever had. I grew up without parents—no one to blame, no one to fight with, nothing."
