The school had refused to process his enrollment due to their family background.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Charlotte had already spent a significant amount of money to get him into this school. Christopher had just barely gotten into this top city high school, and giving up now would only make future academic prospects even harder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just then, a message from Ethan arrived, asking if Charlotte was facing any difficulties and offering his assistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte immediately realized that her brother\u2019s situation was closely tied to Ethan. Without hesitation, she went to find Khloe-but Ethan seemed prepared and intercepted her in the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlotte,\u201d Ethan said, his tone cold and cutting, \u201cdo you really think Khloe can save you? You don\u2019t have any backing. Khloe can help you for now, but she can\u2019t protect you forever. Do you plan to rely on her for the rest of your life? You don\u2019t care about your brother\u2019s future, but what about your mother\u2019s illness-does that not concern you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The threat was unmistakable: today it was Christopher, tomorrow it could be their mother. In Goldmont City, the Morrison family\u2019s influence ran deep. Even though Khloe still had some power within Morrison Group, if Ethan decided to use underhanded methods, she might not be able to defend against them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d never betray Khloe. If I have to, I\u2019ll just resign!\u201d Charlotte said firmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo as you like,\u201d Ethan replied with a light, dismissive smile. \u201cI\u2019m not as terrifying as you think. I have only a small request. Once you handle this, I promise I won\u2019t bother you again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What Ethan wanted was data from a project Khloe had recently taken over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the team leader and Khloe\u2019s most trusted subordinate, Charlotte often helped copy files, since only she knew Khloe\u2019s computer password. Core project data, however, required special key access, which Charlotte could not touch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, in this case, Ethan really did only need an ordinary project file. He claimed it was to help someone in Clarice\u2019s network compete for a project and would not affect Khloe in any way. But Charlotte did not trust him for a second.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte spent half an hour in Khloe\u2019s office. When she came out, she ran right into Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlotte? Were you looking for me?\u201d Khloe asked, surprised to see her emerge from her office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, Khloe,\u201d Charlotte said, flustered. \u201cI\u2026 I wanted to talk to you about something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAh, I see. Is this the matter you were going to tell me about the night before last?\u201d Khloe asked gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte nodded. \u201c\u2026Yes, that\u2019s right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, then let\u2019s go inside and talk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe was about to enter the office when Ethan appeared in the distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 249\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing him, Charlotte immediately lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood morning, Khloe,\u201d Ethan greeted, and Khloe returned a professional smile. \u201cGood morning, Ethan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a brief meeting I\u2019d like you to attend. A few company decisions need to be made-it won\u2019t take long,\u201d Ethan said, his eyes briefly sweeping over Charlotte before returning to Khloe. \u201cEveryone\u2019s waiting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll right, I\u2019ll head there now,\u201d Khloe said, dismissing him politely, then turned to Charlotte. \u201cI\u2019ll be back soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe,\u201d Charlotte grabbed her arm, voice urgent, \u201cbe careful of Ethan\u2026 and Michelle. Also\u2026 don\u2019t work yourself so hard in the future. Your health is more important.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Khloe sensed something was off. \u201cCharlotte, what\u2019s wrong? You sound like you\u2019re saying goodbye to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo! I\u2019m just really worried about you,\u201d Charlotte said quickly, averting her eyes. \u201cI should get back to work!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Khloe could respond, Charlotte hurried off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe was slightly puzzled, but she didn\u2019t have time to think it over. Ethan\u2019s assistant came promptly to escort her to the meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 249 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 249 \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-26770","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\/26770","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=26770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26770\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
