Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 189 Stella felt a pang of unease at the words. She had been serving Lauren diligently every day, yet the older woman found herself thinking fondly of Khloe instead. But the truth was undeniable-Khloe really was thoughtful and meticulous when it came to taking care of others. The servants reported that she would massage and soak Lauren's feet before bedtime, light soothing incense to aid sleep, and ensure the elder woke refreshed and in a good mood. As for tea, Khloe had carefully timed everything, setting alarms to make sure it was brewed just right according to Lauren's schedule.

Just these small gestures alone were enough to pamper anyone. It was no wonder Lauren liked staying at Khloe's place. Mentioning Khloe left Lauren uneasy in her heart. When Stella brought over the tea again, she hesitated before asking, "Has Khloe been in contact with Trey these past two days?" "How would I know? Didn't she say she wanted a divorce? Maybe she's waiting for Trey to beg her." Stella deliberately brought it up, and Lauren's face darkened instantly. "Beg for what? Throwing tantrums is one thing, but it needs limits.

Once is fine, but can this go on every time?" she murmured, pressing her lips together. In truth, she didn't mind Trey asking Khloe to come back. But Khloe wanted her shares and refused to listen to her, leaving Lauren with no leverage to say more. "You're right. That's why I said if it weren't for you and Trey spoiling her, she wouldn't dare behave this way, Stella said with a cold laugh, casually picking up an apple and starting to peel it. "Bad habits need correction. This is the perfect chance to straighten her out, let her taste a little hardship.

Make her realize our family is fine without her, and if Trey ignores her, she'll learn to be afraid." Her words swept away the last trace of softness Lauren had felt. Lauren sighed and glanced at the apple Stella had just cut in half, assuming it was meant for her. But Stella took a bite directly from it. "Mom, do you want some?" Stella blinked, suddenly realizing she was still in the role of serving the elder. Lauren snorted, "If it were Khloe, she would know I love apples and cut them into small pieces for me." Stella's face fell, and she silently cursed under her breath.

Forcing a smile, she said, "I'll cut you a new one right away," and grabbed another apple. By evening, Arthur and Trey returned home together. Since securing the first round of investment from the Morrison Group, multiple business partners had approached the Fox family with offers of collaboration. While none were as large as the projects Khloe had led, taking them on would fully cover the recent losses Fox Group had suffered and accelerate the company's path back to going public. Both men were in high spirits as they returned home. Arthur's attitude toward his son had softened considerably.

"You've been working hard. Once these projects wrap 1/2 Chapter 189 +25 Bonus up, the company will still be under your command." Trey's face brightened, the shadow of recent stress lifting. He nodded and replied, "Thank you, Dad." "Remember this: family will always be your strongest backing. Women? They are not," Arthur said with a meaningful tone, slapping his son firmly on the shoulder. Regarding Khloe, he still blamed Trey for mismanaging matters. In the Fox family, no man had ever failed to keep a woman in check.

Even Lauren herself, strong and capable in her youth, had been tightly managed by Arthur's father. Any grievances had to be subordinated to her husband's and the family's interests. "I understand," Trey said, lowering his head to accept the lesson. But as he thought of Khloe, a wave of frustration welled up in his chest. His father was right-how could he let Khloe hold sway over him?
