Chapter 244
“Say one more word, and I’ll send it,” Khloe said.
Trey swallowed the words stuck in his throat.
By now, Khloe had completely stopped trusting him. Talking about feelings would only make things worse. He nodded quickly.
“Fine. I won’t say anything. I’ll do whatever you want… You want the shares, right? I’ll give them to you.”
Khloe knew he was just trying to steady himself. Since he loved lies and schemes so much, let him struggle.
When taking revenge, the cruelest part isn’t the outcome-it’s the process.
She wanted Trey and the Fox family to suffer, to be unable to find peace. And even if they handed over the shares, who said she’d let Trey or Angela off the hook?
As Khloe turned to leave, Trey instinctively reached out to stop her. But she had already anticipated it. She sidestepped, her tone icy beside him.
“Don’t ever appear in front of me again.”
Then, as if to punctuate the warning, she added, “Because my status has changed, I have to consider my husband’s feelings now.”
Trey’s face flushed crimson. “Khloe, you’re lying! You couldn’t have married someone so fast!”
“Shh.” Khloe snapped, her expression sharp as a warning. “My husband is not someone you can mess with. If he misunderstands anything… or gets upset, the consequences won’t be in my control.”
Without waiting for a response, she strode away, head held high.
Her words hit Trey like a blow to the chest. He froze for a few seconds, watching her approach the elevator, and his instincts screamed at him to follow.
But then, a tall man in a suit appeared seemingly out of nowhere, blocking his path.
“Sir, please stop. Without an owner’s invitation, no one is allowed inside.”
Trey assumed it was just a security guard and ignored him. “Move aside! I’m married to the resident who just went in. Mind your own business.”
Before he could take another step, two more burly men appeared from behind. With a single gesture from the man in front, they grabbed Trey’s arms.
These weren’t ordinary guards. Trey struggled, but his strength was useless against them. The two men’s cold expressions and commanding presence made him falter immediately.
“…You…”
Before he could finish, a fist slammed into his nose. Heat and pain exploded in his head. Blood filled his mouth; a metallic, iron-like taste coated his tongue.

Then, the two men released his arms, grabbed his tie, and twisted it until he nearly suffocated before finally letting go.
Trey collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless. But they didn’t stop. Without a word, they rained brutal punches and kicks on him.
Only when blood ran from his mouth, and his body was close to giving out, did a sharp male voice cut through the chaos.
“That’s enough.”
The voice sounded familiar. Trey, barely able to lift his head, immediately recognized it.
It was the man who had answered Khloe’s call… the same bastard who had been with her.
