Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

“I used my own money for all of this. Over the past few years, the profits I’ve generated for the Fox Group have long surpassed ten million. Even if Trey gave me money, it doesn’t cover the fraction of dividends he owes me. Should we go ahead and calculate everything, item by item, right here?”

Khloe’s voice was calm and steady, yet each word struck Trey like a blow to the chest.

What he dreaded most was her bringing this up. In the past, Khloe had protected his pride. Even when she single- handedly carried the company, she always credited him. But now, if she got serious, every project she’d handled, every figure in the books-everything was verifiable.

“Khloe, that’s not what I meant… and Angela didn’t mean it either…”

Trey panicked, but before he could finish, Khloe wasn’t listening. Her gaze flicked down to the shopping bags lying on the floor.

“Angela, you bought quite a lot. That must’ve cost a pretty penny, right? And yet, Trey didn’t tell me. After all… the money you spent is part of our… ‘marital’ assets.”

Khloe deliberately emphasized the word marital.

“Khloe, you-” Angela’s anger surged. She almost lunged at Khloe, ready to fight her on the spot. ‘Marital assets? Who does Khloe think she is?!’

In Angela’s mind, the money Khloe spent was Trey’s money-hers!

But Trey acted first. He bent down, grabbed the fallen shopping bags, and handed them directly to Khloe.

“Khloe, you’ve got it all wrong. These are gifts for clients. I haven’t even bought Angela’s gift yet. If you don’t approve, I won’t send it. Angela won’t mind at all, but you shouldn’t be petty. Are you even jealous over Angela?”

Trey’s tone was calm, even slightly teasing, as if the situation were nothing.

Khloe tilted her head and smiled faintly, glancing at the yellow diamond bracelet on Angela’s wrist.

“That bracelet is for a client too?”

“Yes. I just asked Angela to help me try it on.”

Before Angela could protest, Trey removed the bracelet and placed it back into the shopping bag.

Seeing Angela’s ashen face, Khloe couldn’t resist a small, sharp laugh. “Trey, if these gifts are for clients, isn’t letting a former employee choose them… a little over the line?”

Her soft, measured voice had suddenly raised the stakes, and Trey felt a cold sweat break out. If this got back to his father, he might have to relinquish his CEO position at the Fox Group.

“Angela was just trying to help,” he said quickly. “But Khloe, you’re right. I wasn’t thinking it through. Why don’t you pick the gifts yourself?”

Without hesitation, he handed all the shopping bags to Khloe, as if determined to win her over completely.

Angela could only watch, her chest tightening, as Trey handed over the very items she had chosen. Her eyes burned red, but she could do nothing except bite her lip and glare at Khloe.

“If I pick them, I’ll make sure they’re nothing like Angela’s tacky choices, which make the Fox Group look so tasteless.”

Khloe gave the shopping bags a dismissive glance before tossing them to the saleswoman who had just helped her.

“My husband bought these. They’re not great, so they’re yours now.”
