Chapter 103
Angela’s show of defiance was as obvious as could be. Trey quickly shot her a warning glance, silently telling her to tone it down, before hurriedly speaking again.
“Khloe, these past few days while you’ve been away, Angela has indeed helped out a lot at the company. And she’s been taking care of Pete too.”
“Really? If Angela is so diligent, why have I heard that some of the company’s projects were completely ruined by her, and that she even resigned out of guilt? And just a couple of days ago, your mom sent me a message saying that Angela seemed to have moved out overnight… I wonder what happened?”
Khloe’s casual, curious questions immediately made both of them look as uncomfortable as if they’d bitten into a fly.
Angela’s lips twitched, and sparks practically flew from her eyes as she stared at Khloe.
Trey immediately stepped in front of her. “Khloe, Angela did her best on your projects. But you know your clients only recognize you. And… you moved out. Angela felt it wasn’t appropriate to stay in the house, so she moved out on her own.”
“Khloe, don’t be mad at me. Let’s go home, okay?” Trey’s voice grew softer, tinged with emotion as he reached out to take her hand.
Khloe quickly pulled away. She really thought he deserved an Oscar for his acting.
“I’m not mad at you. I just… enjoy living alone these days. And Angela is actually better suited to take care of Pete. Knowing she’s there makes me feel at ease.”
“Don’t say things like that,” Trey said, his voice catching slightly. “I’ve already arranged the shares you wanted. Tomorrow morning, come back to the company… Half of the Fox Group will be yours. What else could you possibly worry about?”
Angela’s hand trembled, and the things she had just bought fell to the ground with a clatter.
She nearly choked on her own shock.
Trey had lied to her? He was really going to give half of Fox Group to Khloe?
“Khloe, even the cheapest items in this store cost a hundred thousand. Those cufflinks you bought… they weren’t cheap, right? Are they for Trey?”
Seeing Khloe’s shopping bag, Angela sneered.
“Trey works hard for his money. If you really want to win his favor, shouldn’t you help him with the company instead of splurging on luxury items?
“Even if Trey wanted to give you the Fox Group’s shares, how could he trust you if you act like this?”
Her words struck Trey as well.
Those cufflinks Khloe had bought-they could only be for him. No matter how hard a woman pretends, her actions rarely lie.
Trey found himself involuntarily moved. In the time they’d been apart, she seemed even more beautiful. Her style, her taste, everything had changed. At first glance, he almost didn’t recognize her. Khloe’s aura was that of a noble heiress.

“Khloe, Angela is right-you don’t need to give me such expensive gifts. Just don’t get upset with me anymore. Let’s handle the mess at the company first. That’s worth more to me than any gift.”
His voice deepened, and as he stepped closer, his eyes softened with genuine affection.
