Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 998

Winnie shot Mrs. Olson a cool, dismissive remark.

Mrs. Olson didn't miss a beat. She just smiled warmly. "That came out of nowhere. We're family. Honestly, the friction between you and Veronica over the years—that was on us as parents. So here's what I'll do. I'll give you a black card, no limit, half yours. Use it at any Olson family store. That should put your mind at ease, don't you think?"

Mr. Olson's face darkened, but when Mrs. Olson laid down the law like that, he quickly pulled out his phone and made it happen.

"Winnie, is there anything else you need? Just say the word. Your wedding's coming up. You're our daughter—whatever you want for your wedding gift, name it."

"No, thank you," Winnie said, smiling at how ridiculous this all was. She puffed out her cheeks, chewing slowly, and only after a long moment swallowed everything in her mouth.

The food was delicious. Too bad she was stuck with the wrong company. Her appetite had hit its limit.

"Don't be shy," Mrs. Olson said, mistaking Winnie's silence for modesty. Her tone grew even warmer. "You're getting married before Veronica. We have to make the wedding gift generous, or our family loses face."

But Winnie wiped her mouth, and her next words froze Mrs. Olson's smile solid.

"Forget the wedding gift. What I want is for Veronica to come here, get on her knees in front of me, and confess every single time she bullied me growing up."

The room went icy silent. Mr. Olson's face paled, his hand slammed the table with a loud thud.

Mrs. Olson regained her composure and curled her lips into a careful smile. She knew that a demand—any demand—was still better than none. It left room to negotiate.

"Winnie, why hold a grudge against her? Isn't real money enough? You were a handful as a child, and she had a temper. We were strict because we wanted to guide you. That caused some misunderstandings. You thought we played favorites, but truly, your father and I only ever wanted to keep you from going down the wrong path..."
