Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1123

Khloe was most likely just trying to scare him.

As if reading Trey's thoughts, Khloe spoke before he could react.

"Oh right, I almost forgot—you still have that royal heiress backing you. You can call her over to help you. I'll wait."

Trey was speechless.

He instinctively gulped and immediately pulled out his phone, dialing Ariana's number.

No answer. Not a single call went through.

"How dare you… She's not someone you can afford to offend!" he snapped, his voice tightening.

Seeing Khloe sitting there with calm composure, Trey didn't even bother calling his subordinates to confirm. He had already concluded that Ariana had fallen into Khloe's hands as well.

Khloe said lightly, "No matter how powerful her identity is, she's still in my territory. And coming all the way back to the country with you to handle these dirty little schemes—she probably didn't even dare inform her family, did she? If something happens to her while she's with you… tell me, who do you think will be the first to suffer the consequences?"

Her indifferent tone sent a wave of cold dread through Trey.

In Goldmont City, Khloe did, in fact, have means.

If Ariana disappeared, he would be the perfect scapegoat. He might not even get a chance to defend himself.

Khloe had also lost her patience.

She suddenly stood up.

Trey flinched and took a step back.

In that instant, a far more terrifying possibility surfaced in his mind.

Could it be… that Khloe's so-called breakup with Nick—and even the news of her divorce—were all part of a trap set for him?

If Khloe and Nick separated at a time like this, the outside world would inevitably speculate wildly.

He and Khloe had a past. They had met alone again. Rumors of rekindled old feelings leading to her divorce would surface sooner or later.

And if he died here right now, everyone would assume it was an accident.
