Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 866

Chapter 866

Barney hadn’t expected it-his sister had really been found.

It was incredible.

After everything that had gone wrong lately, this one piece of news alone seemed enough to wipe it all

away.

“I’ll go get it right away!” His assistant froze for a moment before rushing into the study to fetch the report.

The detectives relaxed slightly as Barney finally reacted. One of them smiled nervously. “We knew you’ve been busy, Mr. Lemont. We were worried you might question our findings.”

Barney waved a hand, his mood buoyant.

“We’ve traced this thoroughly-there’s almost no chance of error. Here’s her contact information. The final DNA verification, of course, will require you to reach out and collect the evidence yourself.”

“Of course,” Barney said, still radiating joy. “You’ve all worked hard. Once I contact her, the remaining payment will be sent today. After the final report comes in, I’ll also provide a bonus to thank you for your effort.”

Hearing their client speak so generously, the detectives couldn’t stop thanking him.

At that moment, Barney’s assistant handed over the report.

Barney didn’t care about the investigative process; he flipped straight to the conclusion.

The report listed the person’s name and contact information.

But when he saw the name, his expression instantly darkened.

He parted his lips, looking up at those around him, utterly at a loss.

“Mr. Lemont, what’s wrong?” one asked cautiously.

“The person you found is…” Barney’s voice faltered as he lowered his eyes back to the report.

“Khloe Roswell, came the reply.

The detective continued, “It took a long time. We traced back to the organizers of that winter camp… most of the children’s records were lost. We identified a few schools, cross-checked as much as possible, and with some luck, we finally got a lead on her

Khloe had been an outstanding student, and her participation in that winter camp had been recorded by the school. By tracking down her teachers from that year, they finally found clues pointing to the orphanage she had been in After that locating her became much easier

Barney’s mind raced. “There are so many people with the same name How can you be sure this contact

is hers?”

“Yes,” the detective admitted. “We had to use some special channels to verify it. But beyond that, such as photos or other personal details, we couldn’t confirm.”

Barney’s memory was razor-sharp. He knew that number intimately. His grip slackened, and the report slipped from his hands onto the table.

Khloe.

Niel’s illegitimate daughter was his… biological sister.

For a moment, Barney couldn’t process the truth.

The joy he had felt evaporated instantly, replaced by a crushing weight. His heart trembled, his breathing caught in his chest.

The person he had faced as an opponent in the business world, the one he’d sparred with, matched wits, and even used tricks against… was actually his long-sought, same-mother, half-sister. (2)

What kind of cruel joke was fate playing on him? It felt like the loudest slap imaginable had just struck his face.

All the confrontations with Khloe-the strategies, the words he had said, the things he had done- suddenly came back to him like boomerangs, stabbing straight into his heart.
