Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1200

The man froze for a moment at that, then burst out laughing.

"Trey, you really have some nerve. Look at the state you're in. If you could actually do anything to Khloe, would you be here waiting to die at our hands?"

"I can't, no. But aren't you still here? You want Khloe's weak spot, but in Goldmont City, with so many eyes watching and layers of protection around her, you can't touch her, let alone the people close to her. I, on the other hand, have a way to help you get exactly what you want, and it's worth a lot more to you than my life."

Trey's mouth curved as he spoke.

The man's grip tightened. "Spit it out already. No more games."

Trey craned his neck closer. The man hesitated a moment, then leaned in to listen.

Outside the warehouse, a faint glint flickered briefly through the tangled grass before vanishing back into the night.

…

The next day, at the Morrison Group headquarters.

Charlotte rushed into the conference room just as Ethan was stepping out through the door.

Seeing how pale and grim she looked, he frowned. "You're late. Something wrong?"

There had been a company-wide meeting scheduled that morning, and as the lead host, Charlotte should have arrived early, but she hadn't shown up even after the meeting ended.

Ethan had called her partway through, only to get a busy signal every time.

"Come with me!"

Charlotte didn't answer him. She grabbed his arm and pulled him along. Ethan looked startled, and though he protested out loud, his feet followed without resistance.

Charlotte dragged him down to the parking garage and got into his car before finally speaking. "To the airport."

"The airport?" Ethan didn't understand. "Did something happen to your brother?"

"No. It's Noah. He contacted me."

Charlotte looked at Ethan and took a few deep breaths before speaking seriously.

Ever since Noah had left, she'd made a habit of logging into her old game every night before bed. Last night, she'd suddenly gotten a private message from a familiar contact.

Whoever it was had spoken in a tone she knew well and delivered a piece of shocking news.

Trey was now with Lacuna's men, plotting something, likely a move against Khloe.

He would track them first and pass along updates, but since the size of the enemy's group was unknown, Charlotte should alert the police first and prepare backup.
