Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 997

Winnie didn't even bother showing the least bit of respect toward the Olsons, who had raised her.

"Winnie, why don't you greet us? Still sulking?"

Mrs. Olson smiled gently, sliding into the seat beside her. She poured a cup of steaming tea and placed it carefully in front of Winnie.

"Sulking? Why would I be angry with you?"

At Mrs. Olson's words, Winnie finally lowered her phone slowly. She glanced at the cup, at the delicate, lavish appetizers and pastries on the table, and allowed the faintest curve to her lips.

She was no longer at the age where she could be trapped by childish resentment toward the Olson family. Human nature was ugly, and holding grudges against them would only keep her stuck in the same world of pettiness.

Now, she had only one thought: reclaim what was rightfully hers.

Khloe had already contacted her yesterday. Things on Nick's side were grim, and only Mrs. Olson's patent could help. Since it concerned Khloe, she couldn't shirk the responsibility. And, after all, the Olson family should have returned her inheritance long ago.

"It's good that you're not angry," Mrs. Olson said with a knowing smile, letting it pass without argument. "How have you been these past few days? I hear Oscar has approved your marriage with Michael, and you've passed the assessment at Morrison Group. Looks like all our worries were unnecessary—you've truly grown up."

"We've all spent so many years together, and today, there's no one else here. Just drop the pretense."

Winnie exhaled lightly and cast a sidelong glance at Mrs. Olson. Mrs. Olson's lips pressed into a polite smile, maintaining a decorum that never faltered.

Mr. Olson raised his hand, and the rest of the staff in the room quietly withdrew, leaving only the three of them. He finally spoke.

"Winnie, I know you feel hostility toward us now. But your mother and I were once close friends. Even if you have had misunderstandings about us in the past, I hope you can consider our relationship with your mother and the years we raised you, and leave the past behind."
