The coffee nearly spilled all over him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What Khloe had said was, \u201cWinnie, Michael says he doesn\u2019t want to give up on you no matter what. Why don\u2019t you try giving him a chance?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Khloe had gone drinking with Winnie before, she\u2019d already wanted to say it-she felt Michael hadn\u2019t truly let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The more cautious Winnie was, the more it showed she couldn\u2019t withstand it either.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the two of them could really suppress everything and grow old without ever speaking again, that would be one thing. But since a confession had already happened, then feelings should be made clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael called out her name before he\u2019d even finished coughing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His face flushed bright red.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe immediately handed him some tissues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSlow down with the coffee. Don\u2019t get so worked up\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI-\u201d Michael coughed and frowned at Khloe. Only after forcing down the turmoil in his throat did he manage to say, \u201cWhat message did you send to Winnie? Retrieve it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDidn\u2019t you ask me to help you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI meant the coffee! It\u2019s too bitter!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At that, even Khloe\u2019s ears turned red.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael quickly took her phone, fumbling as he hurriedly withdrew the message.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Winnie still hadn\u2019t replied after a long while, both Michael and Khloe finally let out a breath of relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s probably busy. She must not have seen it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe forced an awkward smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael stared at the chat window and the retracted message for a long time without speaking. He was clearly unhappy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For someone usually so even-tempered to wear such a cold expression was actually a little frightening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe, like a child who\u2019d done something wrong, didn\u2019t dare say a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After a long moment, Michael finally handed the phone back. \u201cIf she asks about it\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll explain things,\u201d Khloe said quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael nodded, then promptly adjusted his mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 406\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With Winnie\u2019s personality, even if she did see it, she\u2019d probably pretend she hadn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So why should he care?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael had come to keep an appointment with Khloe. He had already transferred five percent of the company\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>shares into her name.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few days, he\u2019d also discussed things with his father and wanted to increase cooperation with Khloe going forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After Niel divided up the family assets, Morrison Pharmaceuticals had become independent. The other family businesses run by Oscar had all been declining.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only the export projects under Michael\u2019s control had been doing fairly well these past few years. But if he wanted to reach the next level, he still needed support. That was why he\u2019d invited Khloe to buy in-to seek mutual growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Morrison family had many businesses, but they operated independently. Sometimes, that internal separation actually hindered breakthroughs. Khloe had long hoped the family could support one another internally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After finishing the business discussion with Michael, Khloe brought up Henry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She would be traveling to Naraida next week to meet Henry and wanted to learn more about him, including his temperament and preferences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oscar had only given her a general answer: not to worry. Henry was strict but reasonable and wouldn\u2019t make things difficult for her. She should simply cater to his tastes and prepare some fine tea and exquisite art pieces as gifts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Henry lacked nothing; sincerity would be enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What Michael told her wasn\u2019t much different from his father\u2019s words. He hadn\u2019t spent much time with Henry either. Though the old man was strict, he treated juniors like Michael and Ethan quite well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Every time they met, he gave generous gifts and never really scolded them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe then asked Michael about the discord between Niel and Henry, but Michael didn\u2019t know much about it\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>either.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne more thing,\u201d Khloe asked at last. \u201cThere shouldn\u2019t be any bad blood between the Morrison family and the Hunt family, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael looked surprised. \u201cThe Hunt family?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael said, \u201cAs far as I know, before you, we didn\u2019t have much interaction with the Hunts. The Hunt Group is pretty aloof. There\u2019s never been much cooperation between them and Morrison Group. Besides, George and Nick rarely show up at business functions in Goldmont City.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 40?\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 406 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 406 \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-26927","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\/26927","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=26927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26927\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
