Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 750

Unable to resist Angela's repeated pleas, Barney snorted and shook his head.

"You're already here. How could I send you away?"

"Really?"

"Eat first."

He handed her a fork, and only then did Angela lift her face and smile.

During the meal, Barney casually asked a few questions about Khloe.

Angela knew Khloe well and spoke candidly about her skills and areas of expertise, but when it came to Khloe's personality and working style, she clammed up several times, saying little.

Barney seemed to notice this. "Back when Trey deceived you two, he must have seen Khloe's abilities. Someone like her… I doubt she'd be content just playing the dutiful wife forever."

"Mm," Angela murmured. "She has no plans to have children, and her personality is quite strong… Even with Pete, it's either strict or harsh. As for Trey's family and me… even worse."

She trailed off, bowing her head, choking back emotion.

"But that's my fault too. I let love cloud my judgment. Khloe's revenge on me is deserved. The difference is, she's far more cunning, taking her vengeance quietly behind the scenes. So for this bidding, you must be careful of her methods."

Eventually, the conversation circled back to Barney himself.

Angela blinked, blurting, "What happened? Could he… be dead?"

Her words hung in the air. Both she and Barney fell silent, exchanging a look.

Angela had merely spoken from instinct, based on Barney's expression, but it seemed she had struck close to the truth. He appeared to be thinking the same thing.

"But such a major matter… why hasn't there been a single sign? Nick was fine… how could something happen so suddenly…" Angela's shock was evident.

"They deliberately blocked the news. Naturally, nothing would leak. And at a critical moment like this, keeping it hidden even for a day is essential," Barney said coldly.

"I heard that after Nick's severe injury, he never fully recovered. I'm not sure if it's related. Recently, neither of them has been in the country, and the rumors I've heard come from Naraida—they say he was gravely ill."
