Chapter 22\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe hesitated for a long moment, her thumb hovering over the screen before she finally typed out a message: [ Mr. Hunt, are you still awake?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The message was sent, but it sank like a stone. She stared at her phone for twenty minutes. No reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet, his social media feed showed he had posted just a minute ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was online. He was just ignoring her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe wasn\u2019t trying to be pushy. But with wolves circling from every direction, she felt a deep\u2013seated unease. This marriage alliance was her safety net, and she had to treat it with the same strategic diligence as a business deal. If he wouldn\u2019t make the first move, then she would.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, her phone lit up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her heart leapt she thought it was Nick. She snatched it up, only to see Trey\u2019s name flashing on the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her thumb slipped, and the call connected before she could reject it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was too late. His voice was already coming through the speaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, you haven\u2019t been answering my messages. Are you still upset?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tone was as gentle as ever, but tonight, to Khloe, it sounded unbearably repulsive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She quickly held the phone away from her ear and didn\u2019t dignify his question with a direct answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was about to sleep. What do you need?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her cold response only confirmed to Trey that she was still holding a grudge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had always been so easy to placate, so obedient. When she suddenly asked for leave during a company crisis and refused to come home, he had been both surprised and irritated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had wanted to teach her a lesson, deliberately giving her the cold shoulder for two days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now the company was bleeding, and he had run out of patience. He had to be the one to swallow his pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout my mother and Alicia\u2026 I didn\u2019t consider your feelings. I\u2019m sorry. They won\u2019t bother you again. My father has already disciplined them, and they even called to apologize\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey wouldn\u2019t dare apologize to my face, would they?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe cut him off, unwilling to listen to another word of his excuses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey hadn\u2019t expected her to press the issue. His voice grew strained, almost pleading. \u201cYou know what they\u2019re like. If a face\u2013to\u2013face apology is the only thing that will satisfy you, I\u2019ll find a way to arrange it\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat won\u2019t be necessary. I\u2019ve never forced anyone to apologize.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was the truth. Just the thought of Stella and Alicia\u2019s faces made her feel contaminated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t hold back any longer\u2013a sharp edge of impatience crept into his tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe\u2019s lips curved into a faint smile, her voice softening deceptively, almost taking on a coquettish lilt. \u201d Emotional wounds are hard to mend. But financial ones are much easier. I want half of Fox Group\u2019s shares.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you just say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

For a moment, Trey was sure he had misheard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was actually asking him for shares\u2013half of Fox Group no less.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe repeated herself in that same unnervingly calm and quiet tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, you\u2019re not serious\u2026 are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He could hardly believe it. The woman who had never asked him for anything was suddenly demanding a king\u2019s ransom\u2013half the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t even own half of it himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I\u2019m serious, Trey. I\u2019ve given it a lot of thought. The reason your mother and Alicia disrespect me is that I hold no real weight in the company. If I were the largest shareholder, they\u2019d have no choice but to acknowledge my position.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the investors I\u2019ve been negotiating with are extremely cautious. As a junior manager, I have no real authority in their eyes. But as a major shareholder? That\u2019s a completely different story.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice was gentle and steady, every word measured. It was so perfectly reasonable that, for a fleeting moment, Trey almost found himself convinced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
