The voice had sounded like Khloe\u2019s, but this woman\u2019s tone was clearer, colder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It must have been his mind playing tricks-too many days spent wondering why Khloe hadn\u2019t replied to his messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was only two words anyway. He must have misheard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While he stood there in a daze, the bodyguard pocketed his card and returned to the van. The vehicle didn\u2019t pause or look back. The driver turned the wheel, and in an instant, it was gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey stared after it, unmoving, long after the taillights disappeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside the van, the bodyguard handed the business card to Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Morrison,\u201d he said respectfully, \u201cthis is from the CEO of the Fox Group.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There was no shortage of companies eager to partner with the Morrison Group-industry giants lined up waiting. A company of that size could never make the list.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe didn\u2019t even look at the card. Her expression didn\u2019t shift. \u201cBlacklist the company,\u201d she said coolly to her assistant. \u201cNo cooperation-ever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, Miss,\u201d came the immediate reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That night, Khloe received messages from Trey again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d called-she hadn\u2019t answered. So he texted, asking when she\u2019d be home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe read them and said nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Days passed like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, even Trey began to lose his composure. He didn\u2019t want to be the one to bow his head first, but the truth was plain-without Khloe, the company was struggling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When he returned home that evening, Angela noticed the tension in his face immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d she asked softly. \u201cIs the company still having problems?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her voice was gentle. She reached out, trying to ease him, but this time he brushed past her without a word and went straight to Khloe\u2019s room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He pushed open the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The room was empty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not just unoccupied-stripped bare. The bed, the wardrobe, the vanity-everything was spotless, hollow, untouched.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was as if no one had ever lived there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow\u2026 how is this possible?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He stood frozen, the air sucked from his lungs. He had thought Khloe was only angry, that she\u2019d gone to stay elsewhere for a few days. But she hadn\u2019t just left-she\u2019d erased herself completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 36\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela, following him into the room, looked startled too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019d spent her days taking their son out or working from home. The villa was large enough that she rarely crossed paths with Khloe. She\u2019d assumed Khloe was working late at the company, which suited her perfectly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A person like that was useful. A shadow. Someone who didn\u2019t intrude on their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It had never occurred to her that Khloe was gone for good.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen\u2026 when did she move out?\u201d Angela murmured.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just then, little Pete darted in, clapping his hands. \u201cYay! The bad woman\u2019s gone! Finally!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShut up!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Something in Trey snapped. A rush of blood, sudden and hot, flooded his head. His voice roared out before he could stop it-and his hand followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The slap cracked through the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAh-!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pete\u2019s cry split the air. He stumbled back, landing hard on the floor, tears already spilling as a bright red mark spread across his cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela\u2019s eyes widened in shock. \u201cTrey! What are you doing? How could you hit Pete?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She dropped to her knees, gathering Pete up in her arms. His face was swelling fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 36 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 36 \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-26553","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\/26553","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=26553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26553\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
