Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 23 +25 Bonus Trey quickly regained his composure . " Khloe , what's gotten into you ? You never cared about this before . Fox Group is our shared effort - our blood , sweat , and tears . We're husband and wife . What's mine is already half yours . What you're asking is completely unnecessary . Besides ... " You know how it is . My father and the other major shareholders hold more combined equity than I do . Even if I wanted to give you what you're asking , I couldn't . And those old - timers would never accept a woman wielding that much power .

If you push for this , you'll make yourself a target , " " I'm just trying to protect you . That's why I never pushed for you to have shares in the first place . " He neatly shifted the blame to the shareholders while casting himself as her guardian . " Exactly , " Khloe replied , her voice soft but unwavering . " We're husband and wife . So , even if you transfer the shares to me , they're still marital property , aren't they ? " No matter how he tried to justify it , she calmly followed his own logic . " I'm only doing this for the company's future . For our family . For you .

" Trey felt a wave of frustration . He wanted to shout , but had no outlet . He wanted to argue , but the woman on the other end of the line was acting like a stranger tonight - unyielding and impossible to manipulate . Was this just a tantrum ? Or ... had her feelings truly changed , making her start calculating a return on every investment she'd made in their relationship ? " Khloe , " he tried again , softening his voice , laying on the sentiment . " It wasn't easy for us to be together . I don't want family drama to come between us ... " In the past , this was his trump card .

Reminding her of how he'd defied his family to marry her always made her relent . But this time , Khloe cut him off before he could finish . Her voice was quiet and utterly detached . " Trey , they say a man's priorities are shown by where he puts his money . I've given my all to Fox Group without holding anything back . I hope you can meet me with the same level of commitment . Otherwise , I'll have to reconsider my position here . Perhaps if I resign , it would be easier for you . The shareholders would certainly be more comfortable . " " Wha ... what are you saying ? " He was stunned .

Was she threatening him ? " Think it over carefully , " she said coolly . " And until you've made a decision , don't contact me . I don't take time off often . I'd rather spend it on myself . " With that , she hung up . When he called back , the line went straight to voicemail . She was using the same tactic again . And she seemed to have developed a taste for it . Trey's chest heaved , rage burning through him . He swore he wouldn't give in this time - he would put Khloe back in her place . But his resolve lasted less than two hours .
