Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 927

Chapter 927

Using the excuse of preparing for his presentation, Trey had managed to get his hands on a list of potential key clients. After careful filtering, a handful of aristocratic young ladies, including Ariana, fit perfectly with his goals.

That night, after the gala, he added several of the young women who had placed orders to his contacts-but only Ariana became truly addicted to him.

He was always granted the best by fate.

The more Trey got to know her, the more he realized just how formidable Ariana’s family background was. That was why he dared not act recklessly, afraid of letting a guaranteed opportunity slip away.

“It’s because you’re in front of me every day that I end up missing you even more,” Trey murmured, letting his gaze settle in Ariana’s eyes.

Her innocence reminded him of Khloe back then-but she was not Khloe. There was still a subtle difference, a beauty that didn’t stir that lingering sense of attachment in his heart.

“You say that, but you seem colder toward me every day…” Ariana pouted slightly, more in complaint than accusation, frustrated at his aloofness today.

Trey silenced her words with his lips.

“Sorry,” he whispered, “I wasn’t really myself today. But having you here… already makes me feel much better.”

“What’s going on?” Ariana’s worry sharpened. She remembered what Alicia had said at dinner.

“Is it because of those enemies?” she asked tentatively.

Trey’s eyes darkened, and he nodded quietly.

Immediately, Ariana wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself against him. “Please tell me! I want to share your feelings.”

Trey lowered his gaze, casting long shadows beneath his thick eyelashes. “If you knew… would you despise me? Or… look down on me?”

“How could I?” Ariana hugged him tighter. “I told you-I like you for who you are, no matter what you’ve been through.”

Trey remained silent for a moment, then traced the corner of her eye, as if summoning great courage.

“Alright,” he said finally. “I don’t want to hide anything from you. I’ll tell you… my family’s downfall wasn’t an accident. It was deliberate. It was caused by someone.”

Ariana’s heart tightened. As he recounted the story, her expression twisted with disbelief and shock.

“How could she do something like that?”

Trey lowered his head and sighed. “In the end… it’s still my fault for failing her.”

“Even if you wronged her, she didn’t have to retaliate to such an extreme, right?” Ariana couldn’t imagine it. What kind of woman would be so cruel and merciless to the person she once loved?

Trey revealed that, due to family conflicts, he had once betrayed a woman a woman of immense power and influence. She had leveraged her family’s authority to destroy Trey’s company, bringing his entire family to ruin. No matter how earnestly he pleaded for forgiveness, she refused to show mercy.

Frowning, Ariana asked softly, “Is that also why your family can’t return to your country?”

“That’s right,” Trey replied. “She married her current husband to make sure my family would have no foothold at home.”

“So… the wedding Alicia mentioned earlier-is that the wedding of these two people?” Ariana asked, already pulling out her phone to check the news.

But Trey gently took the phone from her. “Don’t look. I’m just feeling a little down today-not because of them, but because I was thinking about my grandmother… and my father.”
