If she couldn\u2019t deal with Khloe, she could certainly deal with Winnie. Sooner or later, she would settle the score with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What had begun as a carefully laid trap had turned into a \u201cproposal banquet\u201d that gave Khloe every bit of face. Clarice felt she had never swallowed such humiliation in her life. Barely having eaten a few bites, she excused herself on the grounds of feeling unwell and left early.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not long after Clarice departed, the Hunt family also left with Khloe. By then, the banquet was essentially over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Clarice\u2019s representative, Ethan stayed behind to see the guests off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Oscar left with Michael, they ran into the Olson family again. Winnie had changed into a different gown and was still walking quietly at the very back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After hesitating for a moment, Michael stepped forward and called out to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinnie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearing the familiar voice, Winnie\u2019s body trembled slightly. She turned back, her gaze lingering on Michael\u2019s face for only a brief second before shifting away. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour bracelet.\u201d Michael took a delicate mermaid-tear bracelet from his pocket and held it out to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was something she had dropped during her earlier confrontation with Veronica. Michael had happened to see it and picked it up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A faint ripple passed through Winnie\u2019s eyes. The deep blue \u201ctear\u201d on the bracelet was a rare aquamarine gemstone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was a gift Michael had searched for and bought for her on her eighteenth birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Back then, he hadn\u2019t had much allowance. He had saved for a very, very long time to afford it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winnie had loved it. Soon after receiving it, she had it made into a bracelet and had worn it ever since.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince it\u2019s broken, you should return it to its original owner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winnie looked at the bracelet but made no move to take it. Instead, her gaze stayed fixed on Michael\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael wore glasses, his expression calm and detached, giving away nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since they had stopped contacting each other, it was as if he had become a completely different person. The warmth, impulsiveness, and frankness he once had were all gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 206\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All that remained was a hard, cold shell-restrained, overly proper, dull, rigid, and suffocatingly boring.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce a gift is given, it belongs to you. If you don\u2019t want it, then throw it away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After saying that, Michael forcefully pressed the bracelet into Winnie\u2019s hand and turned to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Panicking, Winnie flung her arm and hurled the bracelet at the man\u2019s back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael, there\u2019s no need for you to act like this with me! If you can\u2019t handle it, then don\u2019t play. Don\u2019t walk around acting like I owe you something. Who do you think you are?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that, Winnie ran off in her high heels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael halted, stiffening for a moment, before turning back to pick up the bracelet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course he knew that, in her heart, he had never really counted for anything. And yet-why, after all this time, did it still hurt?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watching from the side, Oscar\u2019s expression grew heavy. He walked over and patted his son on the shoulder. \u201d Michael, it\u2019s not easy to walk back once you\u2019ve gone down this road.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad, I\u2019m not,\u201d Michael said softly, already slipping the bracelet back into his pocket.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s good. But sometimes, following your heart doesn\u2019t work,\u201d Oscar sighed. \u201cYou\u2019re not young anymore. Starting next week, I\u2019ll introduce you to some suitable society ladies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad, I\u2019m not in a rush about this\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can you spend every day buried in work? You may not be in a rush, but I am. Seeing Khloe and Nick today- didn\u2019t it move you as well? You, my son, are outstanding. You\u2019ll surely find a wonderful match of your own.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 206 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 206 \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-26723","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\/26723","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=26723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26723\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
