Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613

“Wait… what did you just say?”

Hearing Khloe’s words, Nick’s expression darkened instantly.

But before he could respond, Khloe pressed on, laying out her plan. Even if she stepped down from the Morrison Group, she wouldn’t let Clarice seize more of its assets. By withdrawing from the battlefield, she’d leave Clarice with fewer opportunities to target her, giving herself the freedom to act without restraint.

During this time, she could stay by Nick’s side while he recovered-and even start her own company.

The Morrison Group wasn’t famous just because of the family name. It thrived because of Niel’s business philosophy and the tireless dedication of employees who never forgot their mission. If she couldn’t improve the company and instead got caught up in internal strife, she’d rather step away.

“You’ve really thought this through?”

Despite Khloe’s calm explanation, Nick’s gaze remained heavy, shadowed with guilt.

No matter how many times he thought about it, Khloe’s decision to retreat in order to advance was ultimately for him.

By nature, she would rather break than yield. The more Clarice pushed for her to step aside, the more she would rise to the challenge. Inheriting Niel’s company was also, in a way, an ideal for Khloe. The man had never met her, yet he entrusted her with his entire legacy-a gesture brimming with trust and sentiment.

Khloe wouldn’t let anyone down, and she certainly wouldn’t betray herself.

“I’ve thought it through,” she said, holding his hand and speaking lightly to soothe him. “You promised me unconditional support. That hasn’t changed, has it?”

“Of course,” Nick replied, his tone still serious, his eyes flickering as he studied hers. “But… Khloe, what if—”

She seemed to anticipate his worry. “There is no ‘what if.’ I won’t let anything unrelated to us hurt you again. Everything concerning you and me… we decide together.”

Nick felt a tremor in his chest. His throat moved, and then a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He understood her perfectly.

Sure enough, Khloe was even more resolute and fearless than he had imagined. That gave him peace.

As for George and Niel, even he couldn’t be certain whether someone had intentionally set a trap or if his father had truly done something. The only thing he could be sure of was that George would never deliberately hurt anyone. Even if Niel’s death was connected, someone had to have stirred the waters, amplifying the situation.

He had feared that Khloe wouldn’t accept any of it. If it truly turned out to be George’s fault, he didn’t know how he could face her-or anticipate her resolve.

Now, Khloe held his hand, choosing to stand with him. There was no reason left to back down.

Even if George had done something, it no longer concerned him. Like Khloe, he wouldn’t let it affect the alliance between their families, the Hunt or Morrison Groups, or their relationship.

Nick cupped her face and kissed her with a force born from relief and connection. When hearts were truly aligned, even if the world collapsed around them, it didn’t feel unbearable-only fearless.

Khloe closed her eyes, returning his tenderness in kind.

After their moment together, they turned their attention to the investigation. Nick had already reached out to George, but George remained evasive and silent.
