Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 745

Khloe stood frozen for a long moment before it finally clicked.

She noticed a coffee shop not far down the street and turned to walk in.

Before leaving, she and Michael exchanged a quick glance from a distance, making sure he had seen her. Then she seated herself by the window, waiting.

Michael spent a long time talking with the man. During that interval, Khloe called Charlotte.

Charlotte, realizing Khloe had seen everything, recounted the full story about Michael and Winnie in painstaking detail.

Soon, Khloe's phone buzzed with news notifications. Browsing through the flood of online commentary, she finally understood Michael's predicament.

After Oscar had expelled him from the family, he was completely cut off from his career. With Michael's years of managerial experience, joining any company should have been easy—but no reputable company in Goldmont City dared touch him. Even people he had previously collaborated with avoided him, fearing repercussions from Oscar and the Morrison family.

Now, if Michael wanted to start his own business, no investor would back him. He could only turn to small companies, hoping to find project opportunities. But even there, he could not reveal his identity; any hint of who he was would earn him a polite refusal.

Everyone avoided Michael like a hot potato. Father and son had cut ties completely, and who knew if they might reconcile later? Nobody wanted to be caught in the crossfire.

Khloe felt a bitter ache in her chest.

Raising her head again, she saw the man flick a cigarette butt at Michael. The way he gestured and barked orders, there wasn't even a shred of respect. Yet Michael remained patient. Only when the man finally walked away did Michael turn toward Khloe.

Khloe quickly tapped on her phone to have someone check the company in the building.

"Khloe…" Michael arrived at her side, his face full of embarrassment.
