Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 734

The five-year-old child who once had no one, who had been completely innocent… that child was also a victim.

Charlotte furrowed her brows. But the thought of her friend, coupled with Ethan's inherent coldness and the cunning he had learned from Clarice, made it impossible for her to feel any sympathy.

Pain, after all, was also a choice.

"Clarice has multiple secret accounts within the Morrison Group. Every time she moves assets, it goes through those accounts. You're the only one who can access them," Charlotte said.

Hearing this, Ethan understood immediately.

He had always handled Clarice's transfers. If he betrayed her, he would not escape culpability himself. Yet, he also knew the knife Khloe had handed over—the one now in Charlotte's words—was aimed at his vulnerabilities. He could not refuse.

Clarice was on the run; she needed these accounts for the moment. He couldn't make her pay for her crimes in blood, but Khloe could.

Ethan snorted again, lifting his eyes to meet Charlotte's gaze. She looked at him with something like pity—but beneath it lay an unmistakable, unshakable disdain.

"If you still remember your parents, if there's any courage left in your veins, you should take revenge yourself," Charlotte said coldly.

"Of course," Ethan finally rasped after a long pause, his voice hoarse, grating. "Khloe is giving me this chance… how could I possibly let her down?"

Even if he didn't want revenge on Clarice, he already had no way out within the Morrison Group.

They held each other's gaze for a long moment. Charlotte saw the murky complexity lurking in his eyes and, inexplicably, felt a twinge of discomfort. She had nothing more to say and turned to leave again.

"Charlotte."

Ethan's voice called out, stopping her.

The last words struck Charlotte's eyes. She was momentarily speechless, never expecting him to say something like that.

"You… like me?" she whispered. Then, she laughed. "Ethan, you? Like someone? It's just your pitiful need to conquer.

"You probably put in plenty of effort with Nancy too, didn't you? She's just an ordinary girl, like me… easy to manipulate, easy to control…

"Maybe for you, being with her was just a change of flavor. But do you realize that all of her genuine feelings… were her life itself?"

Charlotte stepped closer, and Ethan furrowed his brow, caught in her interrogation, unable to respond.

"I told you, Charlotte… I never did anything to Nancy!"
