Several of the company\u2019s core projects are stalled and urgently need strong leadership. If decision-making is fragmented, with approvals stacked layer upon layer and departments checking each other, we\u2019ll miss opportunities again. I need absolute control to ensure the strategy is fully executed, and to safeguard the multi-million-dollar projects at their most basic level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you cannot align with my approach, then my staying has no purpose. I ask that you make a decision quickly- do we grow this company together, or do you process my resignation now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s resolute stance left Arthur momentarily cornered. Her words were sound, and that 100-million-dollar project in her hands was undeniably tempting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey, utterly embarrassed before his father, could no longer hold back his frustration. \u201cKhloe, have I really spoiled you too much all these years? Must you take things to the extreme over a little profit, even if it hurts the family?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But before he could finish, Khloe rose sharplyt. \u201cI\u2019ve devoted myself entirely to this company and to your family. But if this is how you see me, then I\u2019ll proceed with my resignation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey felt a pang in his chest-her words, echoing the very tactics he himself often used, struck him unexpectedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arthur finally spoke. \u201cFine. As you wish, I\u2019ll arrange the final ten percent of shares for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s lips curved into a polite, measured smile. \u201cThat\u2019s great. In that case, I won\u2019t trouble you further. Once the share transfer is complete, we can meet to discuss the details.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that, she nodded slightly, lifted her bag, and turned to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey hesitated, about to follow her, but Arthur stopped him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad, are we really going to let Khloe dictate terms?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He suddenly realized his mother had been right-Khloe had grown bold, seeing their low-key approach as weakness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course not,\u201d Arthur snorted coldly, a calculating gleam in his eye. \u201cThe shares we\u2019ve given her haven\u2019t been officially transferred yet-they can be revoked at any time. And that ten percent? It\u2019s just a safety net.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey\u2019s mind cleared. The shares were a lure; the real goal was to delay her resignation. If Khloe could stay and contribute to the company, all the better-but under no circumstances could she leave with the company\u2019s data and projects in hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arthur added, \u201cI\u2019ll be away for a few days, visiting old friends. The Fox Group doesn\u2019t depend solely on Khloe, but I hope that by the time I return, you would have your family matters resolved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand,\u201d Trey said immediately, catching his father\u2019s meaning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though Arthur had been semi-retired for years, his influence and connections remained formidable-resources and networks that Khloe could never match. Yet her talent was vital to the company. Keeping her under control was clearly the most efficient strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 116\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Khloe was headstrong, responding to care rather than coercion, Trey knew the path forward: appeal to her emotions. After all, she had once devoted her entire self to him. Rewinning her loyalty would be only a matter of\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That evening, after returning home, Trey went straight to Khloe\u2019s bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since she left, the servants had kept the room spotless every day. Back then, when she said she was leaving, she truly hadn\u2019t returned even once.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 116 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 116 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26633\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
