Since you know no one can withstand that kind of pressure, why can\u2019t you forgive me\u2026\u201d (1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t dress up betrayal with such noble words.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s voice was low, sharp, and laced with an almost suffocating weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s face went pale instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never hurt an innocent person,\u201d he added, his tone leaving no room for doubt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lenny\u2019s worry flared. Seeing the storm rising in Nick\u2019s eyes, he coldly warned Michelle again, \u201cMiss Keller! That\u2019s enough. This is a business trip\u2014your personal matters shouldn\u2019t be involved. Please, step back!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s eyes were red, but she refused to weaken or cry. She gritted her teeth and held her ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick, I didn\u2019t betray you. You were just too decisive\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019ve made myself very clear. As for Khloe and me\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Nick stepped forward, passing Lenny. His gaze was almost predatory, and the intensity sent a shiver down Michelle\u2019s spine. She instinctively recoiled a step, fear rooting her in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf she cannot accept me, I\u2019ll accept it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u0397\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that, he didn\u2019t pause. He turned and strode away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lenny exhaled, his tension easing as Nick\u2019s measured steps carried him out of sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Keller, please get a hold of yourself,\u201d he muttered, voice unusually terse, then followed Nick\u2019s departure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle felt drained, barely able to stand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An assistant ran over from a distance, concern etched on their face. \u201cMiss Keller\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything\u2019s done?\u201d Michelle asked, taking a steadying breath and eyeing the camera in their hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The assistant nodded and handed it over. \u201cIt\u2019s just\u2026 with Mr. Hunt doing what he did, isn\u2019t\u2026 it a bit\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle examined the photos. From a distance, the images captured them standing close, some frames looking intimate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the irony wasn\u2019t lost on her-Nick\u2019s closeness wasn\u2019t affection. It was disdain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, he would leave. As usual, Lenny prepared to tidy Nick\u2019s clothes, but Nick waved him off before reaching the room. Knowing his mood, Lenny didn\u2019t press, planning to return in the morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The door closed softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only then did Nick release the tension in his body. He rubbed his forehead, Michelle\u2019s words weighing heavily\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 294\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>on him, and the darkness that had been lurking surged back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After a long pause, he drew a deep breath, forcing down the fear gnawing at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finally, he took out his phone and hesitated before dialing Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It took a while before Khloe answered the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick\u2026 what\u2019s wrong?\u201d she greeted him in her sleepy, intimate voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His jaw tightened, the coldness in his chest dissipating almost instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry for waking you. I\u2026 I just suddenly missed you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAww, won\u2019t we see each other tomorrow anyway?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her voice was clearer now. From the sounds he heard over the phone, she seemed to have sat up and flicked on the light.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, but I couldn\u2019t help it,\u201d Nick said softly, a trace of melancholy barely audible. \u201cI thought you wouldn\u2019t answer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had already wished him goodnight via text, yet he had called.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy phone has a special alert for your calls. No matter how late, I\u2019ll answer-so you won\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t reach me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s voice carried a yawn, carefully stifled, but he could hear her exhaustion beneath it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 294 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 294 \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-26815","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\/26815","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=26815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26815\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
