Chapter 173
Trey’s veins bulged with anger. “Khloe!”
Just now, when Khloe said there was no need for a divorce, he had genuinely been startled. But thinking it over, there was no way Khloe could know about their fake marriage. Otherwise, with no assets of her own, how could she even dare to leave him?
Stella had been right-Khloe was now acting entitled, using the Angela incident as leverage to make him admit fault and bleed the Fox family dry.
Even Lauren hadn’t expected that after giving Khloe such a huge out, the girl would show no restraint-and would even bring up divorce. She couldn’t comprehend it all at once, and even after the call ended, she remained in shock.
“Is Khloe out of her mind? She really wants a divorce?”
“Grandma, don’t get upset. Khloe was just speaking out of anger.” Trey, still fuming, quickly reassured his grandmother, worried she might overreact.
Lauren snorted coldly. “I used to think your mother exaggerated. Khloe’s always been so obedient and clever- never unreasonable. But now… I see I was mistaken. Khloe really doesn’t know her place!”
Seeing Lauren finally stop defending Khloe, Stella let out a long breath.
“Yes, Mom. I think Khloe’s been spoiled-she needs a proper lesson! Maybe if we ignore her, she’ll come crawling back herself!”
Lauren inhaled deeply, considering this, but her thoughts turned to the company.
“But with Khloe absent… what about the company’s projects?”
In the past few days, she’d heard that Arthur had been out securing investors. Without Khloe, the company could face serious losses-even risk a broken cash flow.
“Don’t worry about the cash flow.”
Before she could finish, Arthur strode into the room.
He had just arrived home and overheard the commotion. When the others mentioned Khloe, he listened closely.
Khloe was audacious. In the office, she had practically ignored him during negotiations. A mere girl with blond hair, riding on Trey’s coattails-did she really think the Fox Group ran according to her whims?
“Arthur!” Stella’s face brightened at her husband’s return. She hurried to help him with his coat.
Trey bowed slightly to his father, feeling somewhat guilty. In recent days, he hadn’t fully carried out the tasks Arthur had assigned before leaving.
But Arthur was in a good mood today. Without scolding Trey, he sat beside Lauren.
“Mom, don’t worry about the company. I’ve found an exceptionally strong investor.”
“Even if we lost Khloe-or anyone else at Fox Group-as long as we rely on this backer, we won’t have to worry about our IPO.”
His words stirred excitement on Stella’s and Lauren’s faces.

“Is it Mr. Ramsay?” Stella asked immediately. She recalled that Arthur had several powerful contacts, and the most successful recently was Mr. Ramsay, whose real estate empire had grown significantly over the past two
