Trey’s tone was tense, every word dripping with concern for Khloe, as if she were being unreasonable.

Khloe simply lifted the corner of her mouth in a faint smile, ignoring him.

“Arthur, my insistence on fifty percent of the shares isn’t out of stubbornness. Several of the company’s 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’ll 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.

“If 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?”

Khloe’s resolute stance left Arthur momentarily cornered. Her words were sound, and that 100-million-dollar project in her hands was undeniably tempting.

Trey, utterly embarrassed before his father, could no longer hold back his frustration. “Khloe, 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?”

But before he could finish, Khloe rose sharplyt. “I’ve devoted myself entirely to this company and to your family. But if this is how you see me, then I’ll proceed with my resignation.”

Trey felt a pang in his chest-her words, echoing the very tactics he himself often used, struck him unexpectedly.

Arthur finally spoke. “Fine. As you wish, I’ll arrange the final ten percent of shares for you.”

Khloe’s lips curved into a polite, measured smile. “That’s great. In that case, I won’t trouble you further. Once the share transfer is complete, we can meet to discuss the details.”

With that, she nodded slightly, lifted her bag, and turned to leave.

Trey hesitated, about to follow her, but Arthur stopped him.

“Dad, are we really going to let Khloe dictate terms?”

He suddenly realized his mother had been right-Khloe had grown bold, seeing their low-key approach as weakness.

“Of course not,” Arthur snorted coldly, a calculating gleam in his eye. “The shares we’ve given her haven’t been officially transferred yet-they can be revoked at any time. And that ten percent? It’s just a safety net.”

Trey’s 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’s data and projects in hand.

Arthur added, “I’ll be away for a few days, visiting old friends. The Fox Group doesn’t depend solely on Khloe, but I hope that by the time I return, you would have your family matters resolved.”

“I understand,” Trey said immediately, catching his father’s meaning.

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.

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

time.
