Chapter 8\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d Stella sputtered, choking on her fury, rendered speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had always been so quiet, so submissive, so easily pushed around. How was it that today, her words were so sharp and clear? And by framing it around Trey and the company, she had made Stella seem completely unreasonable. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, Stella. Once Alicia picks a restaurant, just send me the name. I have to get back to work now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without waiting for a reply, Khloe ended the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The dial tone buzzed in Stella\u2019s ear. She saw stars, nearly fainting from sheer rage. \u201cThat wretched girl\u2026 she actually hung up on me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her hands trembled so violently she almost threw her phone across the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching her mother\u2019s meltdown, Alicia was equally stunned. \u201cShe\u2019s really not coming?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrey has spoiled her beyond reason! She\u2019s a barren nobody from the gutter. She should be thanking her lucky stars every day for marrying into our family. How dare she be ungrateful? How dare she defy me?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella cursed and beat her chest, all dignity forgotten.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alicia rolled her eyes, as if she\u2019d seen this coming all along\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I told you\u2013Khloe\u2019s meek act is just a front. For someone like my brother, who only cares about connections and advantage, to marry a woman so far beneath our social standing\u2026 do you really think she\u2019s a simpleton?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut don\u2019t worry. I refuse to believe I can\u2019t put her in her place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A mocking smile curled on Alicia\u2019s lips as she personally dialed Khloe\u2019s number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although she constantly ordered Khloe around, she always maintained the facade of a friendly sister\u2013in\u2013law. Besides, her husband, Stanley Jones, was a department manager in Trey\u2019s company, and Khloe often had to liaise with him on business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alicia was certain Khloe was just soft clay, easy to shape. Even if she had stood up to Stella today, it must have been a one\u2013off for Trey\u2019s sake. At home, her brother adored her the most; if she, Alicia, asked for something, Khloe would have no choice but to obey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, once Khloe showed up, she\u2019d make sure to give her a hard time and properly vent her mother\u2019s anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered. The moment Khloe\u2019s voice came through, Alicia immediately laced her own with a pitiful, trembling sob.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe\u2026 do you\u2026 do you hate me? I thought we were so close. When my brother asked you to look after me, you promised so sweetly. But today, when Mom said you wouldn\u2019t even cook a single meal for me\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she listened to Alicia\u2019s performance, Khloe\u2019s eyes remained fixed on the rising and falling stock charts on her computer screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could I possibly hate you? I\u2019m just swamped today and don\u2019t have time to cook.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her tone was steady, calm, and left no room for negotiation\u2013a far cry from her usual self, who would capitulate the moment Alicia turned on the waterworks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alicia\u2019s face darkened. \u201cBut I have no appetite, and the only thing I can stomach is your cooking. If you don\u2019t come \u2026 then I just won\u2019t eat\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThen how about this,\u201d Khloe interjected smoothly, \u201cyou love lobster bisque, don\u2019t you? I\u2019ll have Trey\u2019s assistant deliver an entire case to you. It\u2019s far more nourishing than anything I could make. And since you\u2019re family, we can just expense it to the company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe\u2019s response, so different from her usual meek compliance, made Alicia feel like she\u2019d punched a wall of cotton\u2013all her force was absorbed with nowhere to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLobster bisque?!\u201d Alicia\u2019s voice lost its fake sweetness, sharpening with frustration. \u201cKhloe, are you doing this on purpose? I said I want to eat your cooking\u2013is that so hard to understand?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her patience finally snapped, her tone hardening in an instant. Today, no matter what, she was determined to make Khloe cook for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
