The voice carried a sharp edge. Khloe turned toward it and saw a face that felt vaguely familiar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t recall the woman\u2019s name, but she remembered she\u2019d once been Angela\u2019s student-someone from\u00a0<\/p>\n
the same class as Trey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenise, you\u2019re just bitter,\u201d Tina shot back without hesitation. \u201cYou haven\u2019t had a boyfriend in years. Maybe try a blind date before running your mouth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Tina, you don\u2019t understand anything, so stay out of it,\u201d Denise Parker sneered. \u201cEveryone knows Trey only married Khloe because he couldn\u2019t have the woman he really wanted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment those words left her mouth, the room fell silent. The laughter, the chatter-all of it evaporated like mist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One by one, the smiles vanished from people\u2019s faces. The classmates who\u2019d been so eager to talk to Khloe just moments ago suddenly found their drinks or their phones very interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air turned cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe froze for a moment. She didn\u2019t need Denise to tell her Trey had someone else in his heart-she had always\u00a0<\/p>\n
known that much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What caught her off guard was everyone else\u2019s reaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Normally, people would gossip, act surprised, deny it, or at least laugh it off\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this\u2026 this quiet acceptance-it was as if they all already knew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So everyone but her knew about Trey and Angela\u2019s relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u0f20\u0f25\u00a0<\/p>\n
She thought of the blessings, the envy, the congratulations she\u2019d once received, and for a second, it all struck her as absurd.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
How funny-how pathetic-that she had once believed she was the happiest woman alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tina\u2019s face flushed bright red. \u201cDenise, watch your mouth! If you\u2019re jealous, at least have the decency to admit it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just telling the truth,\u201d Denise said coolly. \u201cWhether there\u2019s love or not, I think the person involved know best.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her lips curved into a thin smile as she cast a deliberately provoking glance at Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides,\u201d she added, her tone dripping with disdain, \u201cwhat\u2019s there to be jealous of now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re jealous of her beauty, her success, and the fact that someone actually loves her,\u201d Tina snapped. \u201cYou\u2019ve been competing with her since our university days, and everyone knows it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tina wasn\u2019t wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back in university, Denise had been quite the star herself. She\u2019d been photographed during her freshman year\u2014 long legs, perfect figure, dressed impeccably-and had gone semi-viral online as the \u201cFinance Goddess\u201d of their department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But somehow, she was always compared to Khloe. Every spotlight that once shone on her eventually drifted toward Khloe instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scholarships. Internship offers. Study-abroad recommendations. Even the admiration of others\u2013wherever Denise went, Khloe\u2019s name followed, and Denise always came in second.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People had joked that she was always picking up Khloe\u2019s leftovers, mimicking her choices, her achievements, her path. And over time, that comparison turned into resentment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had never known any of this. To her, Denise had simply been one of Angela\u2019s bright, ambitious students- always active, always showing up at every event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But looking at her now, seeing the sharpness in her gaze, Khloe finally understood Tina\u2019s words. The jealousy was written all over Denise\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean, competing?\u201d Denise\u2019s voice rose, brittle with irritation. \u201cIt\u2019s not me-it\u2019s everyone else who insisted on comparing us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her laugh came out hollow, her expression strained. \u201cBut time tells the truth, doesn\u2019t it? Being talented isn\u2019t about a few years in school. It\u2019s about where you end up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lifted her chin, smug and triumphant. \u201cI\u2019ll admit Khloe was impressive back in university. But look at us now -she\u2019s just a housewife, living off her husband\u2019s mood, while I have everything I want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gestured proudly at the glittering jewelry draped over her wrists and neck, her designer dress, and her expensive bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tina opened her mouth to retort, but Khloe stopped her with a gentle touch and a faint smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenise,\u201d she said, \u201cwhen you say \u2018living off a man,\u2019 do you mean that all these years at Fox Group, I\u2019ve only survived because Trey kept me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
