Read Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 486 \u2013 Chapter 486 The person who had taken Charlotte wasn\u2019t a stranger-it was Winnie. Winnie had somehow appeared out of nowhere, tailing them all the way. Charlotte had been detained by Ethan\u2019s men at the hotel, so Winnie reported it to the police, who had broken in and taken her away. Now, Ethan\u2019s men were still stuck at the police station, waiting for him to arrive. For Ethan, this wasn\u2019t a major concern-it only meant making a few extra phone calls. What annoyed him was that Charlotte had been taken by Winnie. What was that woman playing at?<\/p>\n
Did she have nothing better to do than stir up trouble for him? It was late, and Ethan couldn\u2019t very well go to the Olson family to get her. He had no real connection to them, and if the matter escalated, even if Winnie didn\u2019t get in trouble, he would be left with a mess. But Ethan knew Winnie had no influence in her own family. She couldn\u2019t possibly have taken Charlotte there. He decided to wait and see if Charlotte would return home. As expected, she wasn\u2019t home. \u2014- Fuming, Ethan kicked at her door, only then remembering that Charlotte\u2019s phone was still in his possession.<\/p>\n

But when he tried to unlock it, it was useless-he couldn\u2019t get past the password. Soon, however, the screen lit up with her wallpaper: a photo Charlotte had taken at school. Afternoon sunlight bathed her as she squinted, one hand shading her face. Youth radiated from her every gesture, wrapped in warm golden light. Leaning against the wall, Ethan stared at the image, mind suddenly tangled with thoughts. Charlotte lived in an old complex, its corridors narrow and dim. Soon, the motion-sensor lights went out, and Ethan melted into the shadows like a phantom.<\/p>\n
He knew it was likely she wouldn\u2019t return tonight. Most probably, she had gone to vent to Khloe. Waiting here any longer was pointless-he might as well start preparing a countermeasure. Besides, Khloe wasn\u2019t in Goldmont. Even if she rushed back tonight, she had no grounds to interfere with the Morrison Group and Solara Energy\u2019s cooperation. Rationally, Ethan knew there was no real reason to worry. Even if minor mistakes were made, as long as the signing went smoothly, Clarice wouldn\u2019t hold him accountable. \u2014- But emotionally, he couldn\u2019t suppress the storm in his chest.<\/p>\n
He rarely treated a woman like this, yet even knowing Charlotte was Khloe\u2019s ally, he cared for her at every turn. Someone tried to take advantage of her-he stood up for her. Her brother got into trouble-he drove for hours to help. If she were an ordinary girl from a poor family, she\u2019d have already thrown herself into his arms, ignoring all sense of propriety. Why didn\u2019t Charlotte show the slightest reaction? Clearly, her fondness for him was written across her face, yet she remained unshaken. The more Ethan thought about it, the angrier he became.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t even know when his competitive streak had grown so strong. Before he realized it, he had smoked an entire pack outside Charlotte\u2019s door. Ashes littered the ground. Only with the last glowing ember did he notice a hesitant figure approaching. The motion-sensor lights were slow to react, flickering on just as the figure neared. Ethan froze, instinctively crushing out his cigarette. It was Charlotte. \u2014- She seemed to know he would be waiting there. When she stopped half a meter in front of him, she didn\u2019t move another inch. She just stood there, silently watching him.<\/p>\n
For a brief moment, Ethan felt the urge to pounce, to pin her down and claim her. \u201cThought you ran off\u2026 why are you back?\u201d The anger that had burned in him just moments ago vanished He took a step forward, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. \u201cThis is my home, Ethan,\u201d Charlotte said. She lifted her chin to meet his contemptuous gaze, her eyes cold yet carrying a subtle, undefinable emotion. Ethan felt it ignite something in him, setting his blood on fire.<\/p>\n
