This silent, grand gesture was just another calculated move to manipulate her emotions. He wanted her to read into it, to imagine some profound meaning in his \u201cgenerosity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had asked for shares. He refused, but sending this money gave him an easy way out. Wasn\u2019t he just offering himself a graceful exit?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The moment she softened, the moment a flicker of guilt appeared, Trey would once again become the magnanimous husband, and she would be expected to fall back in line, sacrificing without complaint.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But those cheap tricks, once enough to fool her, no longer held any power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And her instincts were right. Trey waited all night, certain that once she saw the money, she would be the first to break the silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She never did.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On her end, Khloe was far from idle. After dismissing the transfer notifications, she noticed another alert.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was a reply from Nick, sent twenty minutes earlier. Just one word: [Yes.]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A ripple stirred in her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She typed a response, hesitated, then deleted it. His terse reply was a clear signal he wasn\u2019t in the mood for small talk. Would she be bothering him if she said more?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But since she had initiated the conversation, ignoring his reply seemed equally rude.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After a brief internal debate, she finally sent another message: [I saw your post and thought I\u2019d check in.]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To her surprise, his reply came instantly: [You\u2019re in Celosia?]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had assumed her message would end the conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She quickly typed again: [I\u2019m here for a charity gala. Will you be attending?]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If he knew where she was, perhaps he\u2019d also received an invitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The thought of potentially meeting him in person sent a sudden, unexpected flutter of nervousness through her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[I\u2019m not. I have a summit tonight. It\u2019s about to go live.]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[Oh\u2026 Am I disturbing you? My apologies.]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She sent the message in a rush, then quickly added another before he could respond: [Don\u2019t let me keep you. I should get some rest as well.]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Better to end the conversation gracefully before she became a nuisance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This time, Nick didn\u2019t reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet, his brief words had piqued her curiosity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sleep was now the furthest thing from her mind. Instead, Khloe opened her laptop and searched for his name.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cheater 24\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The initial results were sparse\u2013until she remembered what Oscar had said: Nick was a towering figure on the international business stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Switching to a global network, she soon found what she was looking for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An international finance site was covering the Global Business Summit, an event hosted by the world\u2019s leading financial conglomerates. The attendees were a who\u2019s who of industry titans and banking giants.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And Nick, as the head of the multinational Hunt Group, was listed as one of the summit\u2019s keynote speakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Intrigued, Khloe found the live stream. She waited for nearly half an hour before he finally appeared on screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He stood near the main stage, tall and commanding in a perfectly tailored dark suit, an assistant at his side. His presence radiated a restrained authority\u2013sharp, steady, and impossible to ignore.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even through a camera lens, the aura of long\u2013honed dominance was palpable\u2013striking and intensely magnetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When it was his turn to speak, Nick took the podium. In flawless, fluid foreign language, he delivered his address with precision and power, sparking a wave of lively discuss on across the auditorium.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His voice was deep and resonant, smooth as velvet yet underpinned with steel, more captivating than any financial commentator she had ever heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe often enjoyed watching public speaking events, but his performance was in a league of its own. Within moments, she was completely captivated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even his impromptu responses during the Q&amp;A were masterful\u2013concise, eloquent, and brimming with sharp insight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 24 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 24 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26541\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
