Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1013

"It's fine. You should head back first. I can handle the rest myself," Winnie said.

"Did you already forget what we just discussed?"

"But your dad…"

"Dad asked me to assist you."

Michael didn't say much more. He simply showed her his chat with Oscar.

Indeed, Oscar had told him there was no need to stay by his side. He had enough medical staff and assistants around him, and Michael and Winnie should focus on their own matters instead.

"So why did you…"

Winnie still looked doubtful. If that were the case, Michael wouldn't have needed to step out to take his call earlier.

Michael pinched her cheek lightly. "Dad already acknowledges you as his daughter-in-law. Stop overthinking. We were just discussing how to use tonight's situation to get you your inheritance as quickly as possible."

Winnie was surprised. Ever since Clarice had fallen from power, cooperation between the Morrison and Olson families had been cut off.

Now that Michael and Winnie were married, Oscar naturally knew which side to stand on—especially after the Olson family had gone too far this time.

This was the perfect opportunity for Winnie to reclaim her mother's inheritance.

The foundation held enormous authority. Even though Winnie now had the leverage to negotiate with the Olson family, the entire matter had been handed over to a cooperating foundation.

"The foundation may not necessarily cooperate. If they drag things out, the process won't go smoothly," Winnie said.

Michael continued, "It won't matter."

"This time, you're not alone. This is no longer just a matter between the Olson family and you—it's a battlefield between the Olson, Morrison, and Hunt families. The foundation knows which side to choose."

Winnie looked at him.

His expression was calm—so calm it sounded like he was stating something utterly ordinary.

"If they want to resist," he said lightly, "they're welcome to try."

Winnie froze for a moment, then laughed.

"Michael," she said, "why do you suddenly sound so…"

"So what?"

"So unlike yourself."

He raised an eyebrow. "Unlike myself? Then what should I be like?"

Winnie thought for a moment.
