\u201cAlicia, you must keep your spirits up during confinement. Otherwise, it\u2019ll harm your health.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe\u2019s tone was light, almost careless\u2013and that calmness only stoked Alicia\u2019s fury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, don\u2019t think you can slack off just because you\u2019re hiding behind my brother\u2019s company. You\u2019re the Fox family\u2019s daughter\u2013in\u2013law. Asking you to cook for me is already giving you a chance. Don\u2019t forget\u2013your position exists because of the Fox family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, right,\u201d Khloe said, as though remembering something trivial. \u201cI heard your husband\u2019s numbers have been slipping badly this month.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words hit like a stone dropped into still water. Alicia froze, her retort caught in her throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was true. Stanley had been coming home late, worn out and irritable. His performance was plummeting, and even Trey\u2019s backing couldn\u2019t prop him up forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, what are you implying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure if Stanley ever told you, but half his sales were referrals from me. Lately I\u2019ve been swamped, so even when he came to me, I just didn\u2019t have the time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alicia\u2019s chest constricted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She suddenly remembered how often Stanley had mentioned Khloe recently\u2013how busy she was, how he hadn\u2019t seen her in ages, how maybe they should invite her over sometime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Half her resentment toward Khloe came from this very thing: Stanley praised her far too often. And Khloe was beautiful\u2013too beautiful. It was only natural to suspect her husband admired more than just her work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, don\u2019t spout nonsense. Stanley is capable\u2013he doesn\u2019t need anyone to hand him business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlicia, your husband\u2019s probably just under pressure, which is why he hides things from you. But it\u2019s fine. You can ask him yourself. After all, most of his clients are acquaintances of mine. He wouldn\u2019t deny it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alicia\u2019s face went white, then red. Was Khloe mocking her? Suggesting her marriage was a sham and her husband was dishonest?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe\u2019s voice softened, but her words cut deeper than any blade. \u201cConfinement is difficult, I know. But I\u2019m finalizing a major deal today. If it goes through, your husband\u2019s numbers might recover. Who knows? He might not just keep his job\u2013he might even get promoted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe was smiling. Alicia could hear it in her tone. To her, every syllable was steel. Khloe was warning her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her lips trembled. She wanted to lash out, but nothing came. Khloe had struck too close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever Khloe said afterward, Alicia barely heard. She slammed the phone down, stormed into Stanley\u2019s room, and cornered him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was enjoying a rare day off, gaming to relax, when her barrage of questions about Khloe blindsided him. Within minutes, they were shouting, hurling accusations and objects, their fight loud enough to draw the servants to the doorway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you two doing? Have you lost your minds?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella rushed in, quickly dismissing the servants. She pulled Alicia back, terrified that the stress would harm Alicia, especially since her body was still weak from giving birth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s face was ashen. He grabbed his coat and stormed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cStanley!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alicia tried to follow, but Stella restrained her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat on earth is going on?\u201d Stella demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The front door slammed. Alicia collapsed into Stella\u2019s arms sobbing. \u201cI want a divorce! I want a divorce!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella was stunned. How had a single call from Khloe thrown the entire household into chaos?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only after prying the truth from her daughter did she understand. Alicia had pressed Stanley, and he hadn\u2019t even hesitated\u2013he admitted it. Those clients had indeed come from Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
