From now on, the Fox Group would be entirely separate from the Fox family, until they had nothing left.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Khloe walked out of Fox Group, she noticed many people watching her. Most of the gazes were tinged with caution and fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everyone had seen the news online. To outsiders, Trey was a scoundrel, but Khloe\u2019s revenge was equally formidable. Her actions affected the fates of everyone in the company. Few had her ability or her ruthlessness, so naturally, most people felt afraid at the very thought of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, Khloe appeared indifferent, but deep down, a complex swirl of emotions lingered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That evening, the moment Khloe returned home, she called Nick on a video call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had been busy almost all day and had only reported to him in the morning that she couldn\u2019t do a call. Breaking their \u201cthree calls a day\u201d routine made her feel slightly guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But when she dialed, Nick didn\u2019t answer immediately. Assuming he was still occupied, she went to make herself a bowl of instant noodles. There was plenty of food at home, and Loretta often sent her gourmet meals, but she hadn\u2019t had instant noodles in a long time and had been craving them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just as she finished preparing the noodles, Nick\u2019s video call came through. She answered right away, placing her phone on the kitchen counter stand and bringing her bowl over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the screen, Nick appeared in his hotel, clearly having just returned. He held his phone in one hand, and she could hear Lenny\u2019s voice offscreen. He waved someone out to close the door before speaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry, I was just in the elevator.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s okay. No need to rush. Just call me when you\u2019re back and settled,\u201d Khloe replied calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She leaned closer to the screen, suddenly curious. Nick\u2019s face filled the frame, the lighting harsh, yet every angle accentuated his features. Even the slight curve of his Adam\u2019s apple and the contour from jaw to neck exuded a sensuality like a male celebrity streaming live.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you staring at me like that?\u201d he asked, finally noticing her gaze as he settled at his desk and set the phone down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t move,\u201d she said softly. Though her tone was playful, her large eyes were earnest. \u201cI\u2019m checking if you\u2019ve been working yourself to exhaustion\u2026 Are you tired?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had told him countless times to rest and take care of himself. This wasn\u2019t idle chatter-she intended to\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>monitor him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not tired,\u201d he replied with a light laugh, leaning closer to the screen so she could see his face clearly. Though separated by a screen, his warmth was unmistakable, and she could feel his rhythm-breath, heartbeat, the subtle intensity radiating from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe instinctively reached out, letting her fingertip brush near the corner of his eye. Her touch met only the cold screen, yet it felt as if she could feel the warmth of his skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 280\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s heart stirred. The urge to be with her, to pull her into his arms, rose suddenly, sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe\u2026\u201d he whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou look fine. Not too tired. Lenny must have made sure you rested,\u201d she said, her gaze softening. Her words carried a subtle trace of worry, almost imperceptible, but it was there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She knew he had pushed himself hard, returning to the hotel only after ten o\u2019clock. If he hadn\u2019t had unfinished work, he would have called her first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 280 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 280 \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-26801","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\/26801","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=26801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26801\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
