Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 928

Chapter 928

“Trey mentioning his family instantly tugged at Ariana’s heart. She wrapped her arms around him, murmuring softly, soothing him like one would a child, “It’s okay. People with hearts as cruel as theirs will never be happy. From now on, I’ll protect you.”

“Ariana… thank you,” Trey whispered, pressing a few gentle kisses to her. Yet, there was still a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as if something unsaid lingered.

“Trey… you still haven’t let her go, have you?” Ariana asked, her intuition sharp.

Trey quickly shook his head. “No… the person I like now is you. My heart has room for only you.”

He paused, voice heavy with regret. “It’s just… I hate my own helplessness. Now, even going home to pay respects to my grandmother or fulfill my duties by my father’s side feels like a luxury I can’t afford…”

Seeing her eyes glimmer with concern, Trey immediately took her hand and placed it over his heart. “Luckily, fate had mercy on me and brought me to you.”

Ariana felt a surge of emotion swell in her chest, a protective instinct rising. “Don’t worry. Going home is nothing. Your company, everything they took from you-I’ll help you get it back!”

Even though she knew her words were impulsive, Ariana made the promise to Trey with complete sincerity.

Trey’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Of course. I’m not going to let anyone push you around.” Ariana smiled, then cupped his face in her hands.

“But going back now… I have no way of going up against the Morrison family or the Hunt family,” Trey said, his expression darkening again.

Ariana smiled lightly. “That’s not hard. If you can’t take them head-on, then use leverage. Haven’t you seen how they bully other people? How they took advantage of your family?”

“My family’s background… we’re just rich in Goldmont City. Can we really compare to them?” Trey muttered, pretending to doubt, though Ariana’s words hit exactly the mark he wanted.

She shook her head, determined. “We’re in this together now. Your problems are my problems. Besides, my parents aren’t just helping you they’re giving me the education I need. Doing business at home or abroad doesn’t make a difference.”

Her eyes sparkled with resolve.

“What’s your plan?” Trey asked.

At her words, the faint sadness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a cold, barely noticeable gleam that Ariana couldn’t see. She simply pinched his nose playfully and leaned in close, whispering, “We fight fire with fire. We use their own tricks against them. If I stir things up in Goldmont City’s business scene, nobody comes out clean. If she can blow her whole fortune trying to destroy you, then I can use my power to leave them with nothing.”

Trey had been waiting to hear those words. With her status, her money, her connections, once Ariana made a move, neither the richest family in Goldmont City nor the Hunt Group would be able to stand against her.

He wanted to see, when Khloe and Nick had nothing left, if their grand wedding would still feel like the perfect, unbreakable fairy tale everyone thought it was. And then… he would make them get down on their knees and beg for forgiveness, just like he had once begged Khloe. 2
