Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1042

But under the light, the exhaustion on Mr. Olson's face was impossible to hide. In just a few short days, he looked as if he had aged ten years overnight. Even his hair was streaked with patches of silver.

"Bitch! Bitch! Winnie! You bitch!"

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed from an upstairs room.

It was unmistakably Mrs. Olson's voice.

Immediately after, the sound of objects being smashed rang out.

The butler glanced at a servant beside him, who quickly turned and left.

Because of what had happened to Veronica, Mrs. Olson had suffered a severe emotional breakdown. Her mental state was now extremely unstable, and she kept screaming that she wanted to kill Winnie.

In the end, Mr. Olson had no choice but to have her locked inside a room.

The moment she heard that Winnie had arrived, Mrs. Olson started spiraling again.

Although Mr. Olson also harbored deep resentment toward Winnie, at this point, he knew he bore responsibility as well.

He had once held genuine affection for Winnie's mother.

But for Winnie's biological father, he shared the same contempt as Mrs. Olson did—which had left him biased against Winnie from the very beginning.

Add to that his excessive indulgence of his own daughter, Veronica, who had clashed with Winnie since childhood, and his partiality only deepened over time. Eventually, all father-daughter affection between him and Winnie had been completely severed.

At this point, he could not even call it regret—but seeing that Veronica not only hated Winnie, but also hated him as her father, he admitted he had indeed gone wrong somewhere.

If he had never adopted Winnie, or if he had raised both daughters with more care and responsibility… perhaps none of this would have happened. He had been too greedy and failed to shoulder a father's duty.

Compared to his own mistakes, his hatred toward Winnie had already begun to falter.

"Of all people in Goldmont City who might have a conflict with Michael, only your family fits the bill. From my position, since Veronica already tried to kill me, and now Michael has disappeared, I can't ignore this without confirming the truth."

Winnie's voice was firm and cold. She met Mr. Olson's gaze without yielding.
