Altogether, they\u2019d cost maybe twenty thousand at most. She thought that was enough to consider herself the upper echelon? Just because of a few designer pieces?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApparently she is-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tina started to speak, only to be cut off by a male classmate. \u201cKhloe, no matter how rude Denise is, you shouldn\u2019t have done that. You should apologize to her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soon, others chimed in, all echoing the same sentiment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, why make a big deal? We\u2019re all former classmates.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDenise has a strong temper, she speaks bluntly. She didn\u2019t mean anything by it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, Denise\u2019s position is different now. You\u2019re in Goldmont City. Even with Trey watching your back, you shouldn\u2019t offend her. Just apologize, alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Denise\u2019s face lit up, a smug smile spreading. The group\u2019s support felt like a warm breeze, giving her confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee that, Khloe? Now I\u2019m someone you can\u2019t afford to offend. I suggest you wise up and apologize. Or one call from me, and I\u2019m afraid you won\u2019t have a place to mix in Goldmont City.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only Tina stood firm, still shielding Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDenise, you attacked first. Khloe throwing wine at you just balances things out. And why are you all acting like this hierarchy matters so much? If anyone should apologize, it\u2019s you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At Tina\u2019s words, Denise shot up. \u201cTina, do you want to ruin your future too? Have you forgotten why you came back to the country? Think carefully before choosing sides.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Denise\u2019s threat made Tina frown. She glanced at Khloe, clenched her jaw, and said, \u201cDenise, I don\u2019t need your sponsorship. Don\u2019t make things difficult for Khloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a friend as pathetic as Khloe, is it really worth it, Tina?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Denise rolled her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tina grabbed Khloe\u2019s hand to leave, but someone blocked the doorway. Khloe gently pushed Tina\u2019s hand away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the stalemate, the organizer of the reunion stepped forward to urge Khloe to back down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, I\u2019ll be honest. Offending Denise is like offending the Morrison family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Morrison family? You mean\u2026 the richest family in Goldmont City?\u201d Khloe\u2019s eyes widened in surprise, then a smile crept onto her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d The organizer, thinking Khloe finally grasped the severity, added, \u201cDenise is best friends with the Morrison heiress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Morrison heiress? You mean the one in the news-Niel Morrison\u2019s biological daughter? The one who just reclaimed her billion-dollar inheritance?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s her. Denise has been close with her for years. Everything she owns comes from the Morrison heiress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The organizer grew more animated, worried eyes fixed on Khloe, as if trying to impress the gravity of the situation on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 42\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe, however, only found it increasingly absurd. She had no idea she and Denise had been lifelong best friends, nor that she\u2019d been showering Denise with so many gifts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She laughed, quietly, because it was genuinely ridiculous.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The organizer, thinking Khloe was still resisting, pointed at Tina.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, I know you\u2019re stubborn, but a wise person avoids immediate losses. Tina is your friend, right? You should think of her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tina had returned to Goldmont City to negotiate with the Morrison family, but had hit several closed doors. Hearing that Denise had connections, she came to the reunion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe now understood why she had been called. Denise had been thinking of her all along-two years after graduation, still trying to compare themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf someone like us offended the Morrison family, there\u2019s no way we can survive in Goldmont City\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The chatter continued beside her, but Khloe had lost patience. She turned back to Denise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDenise, do you really know the Morrison heiress?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Denise, mistaking Khloe\u2019s composure for fear, crossed her arms and lifted her chin, smug and self-satisfied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course I do. Jealous?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 42 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 42 \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-26559","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\/26559","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=26559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26559\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
