Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

With Loretta singing Khloe’s praises nonstop, Arista didn’t hesitate for a second. She handed Khloe a carefully wrapped gift-a set of exquisite, rare fire-colored jewelry.

It was something Arista had gone to extraordinary lengths to acquire, flying overnight to a neighboring country’s auction just to secure it.

“Arista… this is far too precious. I can’t—”

“You must accept it, Khloe. I may not be Nick’s birth mother, but he’s always treated me with respect, and I am genuinely grateful. More than that… I truly hope for your happiness.”

Arista patted Khloe gently. As she spoke, tears gathered at the corners of her eyes. The thought of Nick finally finding a family, having a life of his own, brought her genuine joy.

She knew his childhood had been harsh-strained relations with his father, his mother gone too early, and only his grandparents had pampered him for a brief time. He’d grown up under strict, unyielding rules. Arista hadn’t known him long, but she understood his life story, and she truly cared.

Before she could say more, a familiar face called her away. The room buzzed with movement-today’s gathering wasn’t just Hunt and Morrison family members. Numerous top-tier aristocratic elites had come, turning the pre- banquet moments into what felt like a private, opulent high-society event.

“Khloe,” Loretta said, leaning close, “the Hunt family has a lot of relatives today-even those you’d never expect. You don’t need to meet everyone or greet everyone. Today, you are the star. Stay with me, and no one will bother you.”

To spare Khloe from exhaustion, Loretta introduced her only to Arista, exchanged quick greetings with a few uncles, and stepped away. Every social interaction would normally drag on for half an hour; she wasn’t about to let Khloe endure that.

The Morrison family had sent only a small contingent today: Oscar, Michael, and a handful of close friends. Khloe’s five colleagues-turned-friends were also present.

Clarice feigned illness to skip, and Ethan cited company matters. They still prepared a few gifts for Khloe and the Morrison family to keep appearances.

Loretta, having completed her quick tour, gave Khloe a reassuring squeeze. “Khloe, go mingle. I’ll make sure everything’s set for the banquet. I won’t let anything go wrong.”

Khloe hugged her lightly, whispering thanks.

Loretta, delighted, handed out tiny gifts to each of Khloe’s friends before slipping away.

The friends couldn’t contain themselves.

“…Oh my God! This… this is beautiful!” Charlotte exclaimed, almost in tears.

The gifts were exquisite.

Everyone gasped, hands flying to cover their mouths. It was the most exquisite gift they had ever received. And this was just for a engagement banquet-imagine the wedding itself.

Their excitement made them clutch Khloe’s hand tightly.

“Khloe, please… let me attend the wedding too!”

“I swear, from now on, you’re my real sister!”

“Don’t worry about us-we’ll stand by you through everything!”

Khloe laughed, shaking her head at their exaggeration. But her heart warmed. The Hunt family’s generosity and warmth, even toward someone they’d only just met, exceeded her expectations.

For the first time, the idea of life tied to a wealthy, powerful family felt… possible. She had long given up hope of such a life, yet here it was, unfolding in ways she had never imagined.
