Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 798

"I've noticed something about your women—they're utterly devoted. For you, they'd throw everything on the line without hesitation."

Lucas couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

But Nick's cold reprimand cut through the air. "I have only one woman."

Though his voice was calm, Lucas felt a chill crawl up his spine. Nick really took things seriously—every little remark seemed to warrant an extreme response.

Scratching his nose, Lucas quickly corrected himself. "Of course, I know your woman is only Khloe. I was just saying—Michelle is impressive in her own right."

He handed the phone over to Nick.

Clips from Michelle's live stream had gone viral. With her massive fanbase and public service image, most people were eager to support her. But as popularity rose, so did the noise.

Some comments were harsh, accusing Michelle of being bought by the Hunt Group, using publicity to profit—a so-called opportunistic type.

From the Hunt family's perspective, Michelle's actions were a small victory in controlling public opinion. From her perspective, however, it was a double-edged sword: some of her credibility with casual followers was slipping, and the negative attention was unavoidable.

Nick glanced at the phone briefly, then set it aside. "This chatter won't last long."

Lucas mused, "You're truly cold-hearted. You panic when it's your own wife in trouble, but when someone else's house is on fire, you've got all the patience in the world."

Nick knew what Lucas was hinting at. His body had mostly recovered, and it was time to see Khloe in person. Once he appeared, the rumors would collapse on their own.

Yet he didn't respond. "I'm tired. You may leave."

And he knew his body now—fragile, overstrained, nearing its limits. The better it looked, the faster it could fail.

…

Shortly after Michelle's live stream ended, online discussions erupted. Even Solara Energy's official website came under fire.

Fans demanded justice for Michelle.

Previously, Solara Energy had responded to the Hunt Group swiftly. This time, they remained silent, which only fueled more criticism.

Behind the scenes, Solara Energy itself was in chaos. The previous PR crisis triggered by Angela hadn't fully settled, and now Khloe had taken the lead, directly undermining them.
