Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 891

Chapter 891

Realizing Nick’s expression had darkened, Barney finally snapped back to awareness.

“I heard you’re pregnant… and that Nick is still recovering… I was worried about you both.”

Khloe’s voice hardened with impatience. “I’m fine. Nick’s condition is stable for now. You don’t need to worry.”

Nick, who had just raised his teacup, set it down again without taking a sip.

“I recall that Solara Energy has yet to publicly explain the handling of former employee Angela. Perhaps you don’t have the leisure to meddle in other people’s business right now?” Khloe’s tone cut like ice.

Barney’s face paled. He knew that by coming here, there was no avoiding mentioning Angela. He had prepared for this, quickly trying to clarify.

“I won’t have any further dealings with Angela.”

“Barney, you must be joking. Whatever happened with Angela has nothing to do with me.” Khloe nodded, suppressing a sigh.

“My lawyer is ready to sue Angela on multiple counts. If Solara Energy’s interests were also infringed, it’s best to handle it promptly. But if you’re here for Angela, then I don’t think we have anything to discuss,” Khloe said sharply.

Barney’s agitation spiked; he stood immediately.

“No! I’m not here because of Angela!”

Khloe tilted her head, eyeing him skeptically. If he truly cared about Angela, he wouldn’t be fawning over her so openly. Offending both her and Nick would gain Angela no favor.

Barney faltered, then forced himself to calm down.

“I’ve drawn a clear line with Angela. Her mistakes-whatever you decide to do about them is justified.”

Khloe opened her mouth to reply, but Nick lightly pressed his hand on hers, stopping her.

Barney sat down again, paused to gather himself, then spoke carefully. “Khloe… actually… I came today because-”

“Barney, I really don’t have the patience to hear you ramble. If you have nothing important to say, I hope we can quietly disappear from each other’s lives from now on.”

Nick maintained his gentlemanly composure, but Khloe had no such patience-especially for Barney, a rival company CEO who

wasn’t even a friend.

“Khloe… don’t you ever want to find your mother?” Barney gritted his teeth, finally speaking.

Khloe froze. Nick’s gaze snapped to Barney instantly.

“Find my mother?”

“Yes…” Barney began, but Khloe cut him off with a cold, sharp laugh that sent chills down his spine.

“The mother who left me in an orphanage-why would I look for her? If she didn’t want me, then I don’t need her either.” Khloe said calmly and turned to nestle against Nick’s arm, refusing to look at Barney again.

Barney murmured, “Perhaps… perhaps she had her reasons…”

“Any reasons are unacceptable. I will never forgive the person who abandoned me.” Khloe’s tone was terrifyingly calm, yet Nick could feel her body trembling slightly.

“Then… you don’t want… a family?” Barney’s voice was dry, uncertain.
