Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 172 Lauren's sense of fairness disappeared the moment Fox family members were involved. Seeing Khloe remain silent, she quickly added, "Actually, I understand matters between husband and wife. You were just jealous and misunderstood! Once you clear it all up, you can't help but care about Trey, right?" "Misunderstood?" Khloe echoed, skeptical. "Yes. I've heard about what happened online. Angela got what she deserved!" At the mention of Angela, Khloe's chest tightened, thinking Lauren was about to confess something. But the old lady's words shifted unexpectedly.

"She's of that age and still unmarried. She was jealous of the harmony between you and Trey, and that's why she acted up. But I can assure you, Khloe, Trey's heart belongs only to you. Angela is only using the fact she was once his student to get close to him, but there's nothing between them! Khloe, don't let such a trivial thing cloud your thoughts about him!" Lauren spoke at length, emphasizing her point, and in doing so removed all blame from Angela-leaving Khloe to shoulder any remaining responsibility. Trey, by contrast, was rendered innocent. Khloe almost laughed at the absurdity.

Once Lauren finished, she handed the phone to Trey. "Trey, come over. In front of grandma, swear to Khloe: there's nothing between you and Angela, right?" "Grandma..." Trey tried to resist, reluctantly taking the phone. He didn't want to speak. "No need," Khloe said almost simultaneously. Her voice was cold, like ice, but through the phone it sounded measured-almost like sulking. "Grandma, I didn't tell you before because I knew you weren't well. Actually, Trey and I are no longer involved." The words hit like a thunderclap. Both Lauren and Trey's expressions changed drastically.

"No longer involved?" The old woman's voice rose a few tones, hoarse with trembling. "Khloe! You can't just say things like that! You're married! Even if you want a divorce, you can't decide that without our consent!" "That's right. I want a clean cut from Trey. But it doesn't need to be complicated like a divorce. We can just separate." Khloe had no intention of confronting the Fox family so early, but her revenge against Trey wasn't over yet. She knew taking Fox Group's shares would be impossible without conflict, and she didn't want the family constantly interfering.

So she decided to draw a clear line with Trey first. "Khloe, what do you mean by this? I know you're upset, but... you can't just talk about divorce like this!" Lauren could no longer sit still, pounding on the table in frustration, Stella, however, sneered, dismissing Khloe's words as mere posturing. With the Angela incident, she felt wronged herself, thinking Khloe was simply trying to assert dominance over them again. "Khloe, how greedy and insatiable can you be? Marrying into our family is a blessing you earned over lifetimes!

You've had a comfortable life as a wife, and yet you've developed this sense of entitlement? Want your mother-in- law and sister-in-law to constantly apologize to you? Demand fifty percent of Fox Group? Now you even want Trey to kneel and beg?" Before Stella could finish, Trey took the phone from her. 1/2 Chapter 172 "Khloe, you're really going too far now. I could let the past slide, but now you're talking about divorce and separation. If you really mean it, then... fine, it's up to you." But Trey's words were cut off-Khloe had already hung up. She hadn't even waited to hear him finish.
