Chapter 144
Of course, Khloe and Trey weren’t actually in conflict-they had long since become strangers to one another. But her account with him had not yet been settled.
“I know the family lacks for nothing. These supplements are just my token of respect for you, Grandma, and I spent my own money on them. If you don’t need them, feel free to handle them as you wish,” Khloe said, carefully leaving room for the elderly woman’s pride.
Lauren seemed about to respond, but Khloe hurriedly added, “Grandma, you should get a good rest. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Khloe! Khloe!” Lauren rose anxiously, trying to grab her arm, but Khloe moved quickly. Before anyone could react, she had already left the ward.
Trey rushed forward to steady his grandmother, wary of her agitation. “Grandma, don’t get too worked up-be careful of your health!”
“Go after her! No matter what, bring her back home!” Lauren’s face flushed with urgency, and she pushed Trey toward the hallway without a second thought for her own frail body.
Stella and Alicia, though simmering with frustration themselves, could only remain by the side and watch, letting Trey go after Khloe.
Khloe moved fast. By the time Trey reached the elevator, she had already stepped inside. Frustrated, he dashed down the stairs all the way to the garage.
“Khloe!”
Finally, he caught up with her just before she could get into her car. She seemed to have been waiting for him, standing beside the vehicle with her phone in hand.
“Khloe, Grandma only said those things because she cares about us. Bringing her a gift shows respect, but isn’t the greatest respect following her wishes? Stop sulking. Just give in to her wishes. Come home with me.” Trey panted as he spoke, reaching out to take her arm.
As he drew near, he realized she was on a call.
“Yes, thank you. I have sufficient evidence on my end.”
After hanging up, Khloe lifted her gaze to Trey. “Perfect timing. Pete scratched my car. My parking camera recorded the entire thing-you can see everything for yourself.”
Trey froze, noticing for the first time deep scratches marring the side of her car.
The car-a red Bentley-was unfamiliar to him. It seemed Khloe had recently purchased it.
Khloe held her phone out, showing him the footage from the dashcam.
In the video, Pete suddenly rushed toward the car, brandishing a short steel rod. He banged the car wildly, then scraped it violently with the rod, venting his anger. Before leaving, he even kicked the car hard a few times.
Trey’s brow knitted tightly, fury rising. That brat Pete! He had already instructed his assistant to take him back. How had he returned? And where did the kid even get that rod?
“Khloe, don’t worry. I’ll call him right now-”
“I’ve already reported it to the police. It’s my new car. Not expensive-just half a million. You can transfer the

money to me.”
“Reported to the police? Come one, it’s not that serious!” Trey’s voice sharpened. “Khloe, he’s just a child! Why are you making such a big deal? Don’t quarrel with a kid-”
“Not just a child, but a natural little troublemaker. Should I post it online and let everyone judge?” Khloe interrupted coldly, retracting her phone. 1
