You wouldn\u2019t find these on a high street,\u201d Khloe said, lowering her gaze and speaking with careful emphasis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her fingers deftly untied the bag, revealing what looked at first like a simple wooden box, crafted from richly grained walnut.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She opened it. Inside, a layer of deep velvet cushioned several pieces of rare, wild-foraged Manuka honeycomb, dark amber and thick with potency. Beside them rested a small jar of the finest Icelandic dried reindeer lichen-a supplement so prized it was said to strengthen the blood-its pale colour and clean, earthy scent speaking of exceptional quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are rare finds I sought out specially-wild Manuka honeycomb from protected, ancient groves, and the highest grade of Arctic lichen. They\u2019re so scarce they\u2019re virtually unobtainable commercially. I gathered them in such a hurry, I\u2019m afraid I paid little mind to the presentation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alicia\u2019s eyes widened in disbelief. She leaned in closer, looking again and again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wild-foraged Manuka honey of this purity and age was a collector\u2019s treasure. Honey from hives over twenty years old was already rare; what Khloe had here, sourced from groves undisturbed for over half a century, was considered \u201clegacy grade,\u201d valued at thousands per ounce. And there were several pieces in the box.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Arctic lichen, too, was extraordinarily rare a gram of the premium grade was almost impossible to source on the open market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If these were genuine, their combined worth easily ran into the high six figures-far surpassing the lavish gifts piled in the room. By comparison, what the others had brought now looked utterly commonplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella and Trey were equally stunned by Khloe\u2019s words.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella, still skeptical, asked, \u201cKhloe, where did you get such rare and expensive items? Are they genuine?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a global quality inspection anti-counterfeit code on the box. You can trace its origin,\u201d Khloe replied calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alicia immediately spotted the code printed on the box and intended to expose Khloe, but upon checking, the results showed that the items were even more rare and expensive than expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella glanced over and felt her face flush hot with embarrassment. The \u201ctrash\u201d she had so casually dismissed moments ago was worth nearly a million! Where on earth had Khloe gotten that kind of money?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, why did you spend so much again?\u201d Trey asked, furrowing his brow as he spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He remembered giving Khloe a fair amount of money and couldn\u2019t help feeling a little protective. Khloe had always been frugal, which made him comfortable transferring funds to her. But previously, at a luxury store, she had spent over a hundred thousand dollars in one go; now she had splurged even more on these supplements. Her style of spending was completely different from before.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, this time the expense was for Lauren. Since it was for his grandmother, he could accept it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spent my own money. Is there a problem?\u201d Khloe said coldly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey opened his mouth to protest, but he realized that the money he had given her was indeed hers to spend. To argue further might make him seem petty, so he swallowed his words. \u201cOf course, I just don\u2019t want you to\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter Ta\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>overspend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lauren hadn\u2019t expected Khloe\u2019s gift to be so exceptional and genuine, and felt momentarily embarrassed. She quickly reached for Khloe\u2019s hand again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, I can see the care you\u2019ve put into this. You really shouldn\u2019t have gone to such expense. Please, don\u2019t feel you have to prove anything to me. All I truly wish is for you and Trey to find your way together-to come home more often and for you to return to the company. That would be gift enough for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though she was deeply touched by Khloe\u2019s gesture, knowing the resources likely still came from the Fox family left her with a tender, yet uneasy, feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma, I understand your kindness,\u201d Khloe said, gently withdrawing her hand. She rose to her feet and added quietly, \u201cBut there\u2019s no conflict between Trey and me. We\u2019ll work things out in our own way. Right now, your focus should be on resting and regaining your strength.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 143 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 143 \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-26660","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\/26660","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=26660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26660\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
