Even if she truly had a past, that in itself was understandable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But if she had concealed a previous marriage and still married his son, that would be a matter of moral character. In that case, the marriage could no longer stand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe didn\u2019t recognize the man who had spoken, but the moment she heard his words, her nerves snapped tight and her face quickly drained of color.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She parted her lips, wanting to respond, yet for a moment she didn\u2019t know how to refute him. What he said wasn\u2019t entirely true-and it was clearly someone Clarice had deliberately arranged.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But if she tried to argue, she would have to explain her past with Trey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She could endure the ridicule directed at herself\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The problem was that everyone present came from powerful, influential families, prominent figures in the business world. If she revealed her past here, it would drag the Hunt family\u2019s reputation down with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta and the others had treated her so well. Khloe truly couldn\u2019t bear to disappoint them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, is what you\u2019re saying really true? Could you have mistaken someone else for her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Clarice spoke up with feigned surprise, turning to question the guest. But those words only gave the man an even better opening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He stood up at once and pulled out his phone, as if he had been prepared all along. He showed everyone a short video of Khloe and Trey together. Yet it wasn\u2019t the intimate, affectionate scene he had described-only the two of them appearing at the same business reception.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember it clearly. I didn\u2019t get it wrong. Take a look yourselves-isn\u2019t this Khloe?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before he could pass the phone around, someone suddenly seized his arm. The grip was vicious, as if it were about to snap his bones in half.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAh-ah-!\u201d The man grimaced in pain. When he turned around and saw it was Nick, the phone slipped from his hand and smashed onto the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s expression was cold and unreadable. He stepped down hard on the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The video cut off instantly. Under his foot, the phone screen shattered completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry. I accidentally crushed your phone. I\u2019ll compensate you later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There was a faint, chilling edge of killing intent in Nick\u2019s voice. A thin smile lingered in his eyes as he swept his gaze across everyone who was still staring at the fallen phone-yet the cold in that look was terrifying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>George\u2019s expression darkened even further.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had clearly warned Nick with his eyes just moments ago, but Nick still ignored him and stood up from the table without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI-It\u2019s fine\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 202\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The man whose wrist Nick was gripping trembled as he spoke through the pain. Even though he had acted on Clarice\u2019s instructions, facing Nick directly still terrified him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Nick showed no intention of letting him go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With a sharp crack, the man heard a dull sound from his bones. He clutched his arm and collapsed to the floor, rolling in agony.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick, all our guests are visitors tonight. There\u2019s no need to be angry,\u201d Clarice said quickly as she hurried over with her people. Her subordinates immediately dragged the man away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this is a misunderstanding, it can be explained clearly. I believe Khloe wouldn\u2019t lie to you. These matters\u2026 you should already know about them, shouldn\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she finished speaking, murmurs spread through the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle clenched her hands tightly, watching Nick with unease.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had warned him long ago that Khloe had been involved with another man, but he had refused to listen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Having known Nick for years, she understood him better than anyone. Whenever he cared about something, he threw himself into it completely, without regard for consequences. Seeing him like this now, his heart must have taken another devastating blow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan, meanwhile, sat calmly to the side, watching the drama unfold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His gaze swept over every member of the Hunt family. Seeing them all fix their eyes on Khloe-concern mingled with unmistakable scrutiny-he felt satisfied. The corner of his lips curved upward as he lifted his glass and took a slow sip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Killing without bloodshed-striking straight at the heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s acceptance by the Hunt family rested on nothing more than appearances. But all elite families were the same: they valued face above everything else. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No matter how close Khloe and Nick were, they had known each other only a short time. With her past laid bare before the Hunt family, it would be impossible for Nick alone to continue insisting on this engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 202 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 202 \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-26719","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\/26719","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=26719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26719\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
