Read Billionaire’s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 486 – Chapter 486 The person who had taken Charlotte wasn’t a stranger-it was Winnie. Winnie had somehow appeared out of nowhere, tailing them all the way. Charlotte had been detained by Ethan’s men at the hotel, so Winnie reported it to the police, who had broken in and taken her away. Now, Ethan’s men were still stuck at the police station, waiting for him to arrive. For Ethan, this wasn’t a major concern-it only meant making a few extra phone calls. What annoyed him was that Charlotte had been taken by Winnie. What was that woman playing at?

Did she have nothing better to do than stir up trouble for him? It was late, and Ethan couldn’t very well go to the Olson family to get her. He had no real connection to them, and if the matter escalated, even if Winnie didn’t get in trouble, he would be left with a mess. But Ethan knew Winnie had no influence in her own family. She couldn’t possibly have taken Charlotte there. He decided to wait and see if Charlotte would return home. As expected, she wasn’t home. —- Fuming, Ethan kicked at her door, only then remembering that Charlotte’s phone was still in his possession.

 

But when he tried to unlock it, it was useless-he couldn’t get past the password. Soon, however, the screen lit up with her wallpaper: a photo Charlotte had taken at school. Afternoon sunlight bathed her as she squinted, one hand shading her face. Youth radiated from her every gesture, wrapped in warm golden light. Leaning against the wall, Ethan stared at the image, mind suddenly tangled with thoughts. Charlotte lived in an old complex, its corridors narrow and dim. Soon, the motion-sensor lights went out, and Ethan melted into the shadows like a phantom.

He knew it was likely she wouldn’t return tonight. Most probably, she had gone to vent to Khloe. Waiting here any longer was pointless-he might as well start preparing a countermeasure. Besides, Khloe wasn’t in Goldmont. Even if she rushed back tonight, she had no grounds to interfere with the Morrison Group and Solara Energy’s cooperation. Rationally, Ethan knew there was no real reason to worry. Even if minor mistakes were made, as long as the signing went smoothly, Clarice wouldn’t hold him accountable. —- But emotionally, he couldn’t suppress the storm in his chest.

He rarely treated a woman like this, yet even knowing Charlotte was Khloe’s ally, he cared for her at every turn. Someone tried to take advantage of her-he stood up for her. Her brother got into trouble-he drove for hours to help. If she were an ordinary girl from a poor family, she’d have already thrown herself into his arms, ignoring all sense of propriety. Why didn’t Charlotte show the slightest reaction? Clearly, her fondness for him was written across her face, yet she remained unshaken. The more Ethan thought about it, the angrier he became.

He didn’t even know when his competitive streak had grown so strong. Before he realized it, he had smoked an entire pack outside Charlotte’s door. Ashes littered the ground. Only with the last glowing ember did he notice a hesitant figure approaching. The motion-sensor lights were slow to react, flickering on just as the figure neared. Ethan froze, instinctively crushing out his cigarette. It was Charlotte. —- She seemed to know he would be waiting there. When she stopped half a meter in front of him, she didn’t move another inch. She just stood there, silently watching him.

For a brief moment, Ethan felt the urge to pounce, to pin her down and claim her. “Thought you ran off… why are you back?” The anger that had burned in him just moments ago vanished He took a step forward, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “This is my home, Ethan,” Charlotte said. She lifted her chin to meet his contemptuous gaze, her eyes cold yet carrying a subtle, undefinable emotion. Ethan felt it ignite something in him, setting his blood on fire.
