But neither Stanley nor Alicia seemed to notice this. All they saw was Khloe stepping forward in heels, every movement elegant and controlled as she approached them.
“Khloe, don’t take it personally. Alicia just lost control-really, we can talk-”
Stanley tried to smooth things over, offering a diplomatic out. After all, he wasn’t a Fox family member.
Khloe now had the capability to run the company as CEO. This was her own accomplishment, not anyone else’s. He didn’t want to get caught in the middle of old grudges. He just wanted to stay neutral and play the good guy.
But a single glance from Khloe froze him. Before he could react, strong hands grabbed him from behind, muffling his mouth.
“Alicia… I heard you right, didn’t I? You cursed me?”
Khloe stopped in front of Alicia, lips curving slightly.
Alicia was being held down by three bodyguards, her mouth blocked. But Khloe lifted her chin subtly, signaling the guards to release their grip on her, giving Alicia the chance to speak.
“Of course! I curse you, Khloe! You bitch!”
Alicia spat out the words with all the force she could muster, undaunted by Khloe.
But it was as if Khloe had been waiting for her to finish. The moment the words left Alicia’s mouth, a hand- sharp as a blade-struck across her face.
Pain exploded through Alicia’s head. Her vision darkened instantly, blood filled her mouth, the metallic tang overwhelming. The bodyguards pressed her arms down, leaving no room to dodge.
Khloe twisted her wrist. She deliberately struck with the hand wearing two rings. The massive diamonds on her fingers caught the light like lethal weapons. She had rotated just enough for the gems to dig into Alicia’s flesh.
Stanley froze, alarmed at the force Khloe used. He couldn’t move, and he realized with a jolt that everyone else had vanished-only they and Khloe remained. Where had the security gone?
Alicia spat a mouthful of blood. Seeing her own blood made her rage hotter-she wanted nothing more than to tear Khloe apart.
“Khloe… how dare you hit me?!”
“You dared to curse me. Why wouldn’t I hit back?” Khloe’s voice was cold, calm, entirely devoid of emotion. “I warned you back at the Fox household-don’t provoke me. Even now that the Fox family’s bankrupt, you still have the nerve to act up in front of me?”
“You… bitch-”
Alicia’s words were cut off as her mouth was pressed shut again. She thrashed violently, her fury bordering on madness. If someone handed her a knife, she would have stabbed Khloe without a second thought.
Khloe moved behind her. From Alicia’s open bag, she plucked out a Fox Group business card.

“So this is a trip to woo investors. But… do you even belong at a summit like this?”
“Mm-mmm-‘
Alicia glared at Khloe, eyes red, unable to make a sound, only managing to grunt through the gag.
Stanley, however, stayed unusually still. He knew a clever fighter never loses on impulse; he didn’t resist, and his eyes kept darting to Khloe, silently pleading. Unfortunately, she didn’t glance at him once.
“Seems some people just can’t give up until the river dries up,” Khloe said with quiet sharpness.
She tossed the business card onto Alicia’s chest, then deliberately turned to her assistant and asked, “If I make it clear that anyone helping the Fox family at today’s summit will be opposing the Morrison Group… do you think anyone would invest in the Fox Group, a company teetering on the edge of bankruptcy?”
“…What?”
Alicia’s brain went completely blank. She stood there for a long moment, unable to process what Khloe had just said.
‘What does she mean…? What is she talking about…? Khloe can represent the Morrison Group?’
