Chapter 245
Trey had barely caught his breath when another group of men in security uniforms charged toward him, flashlights blazing in his face.
“Who let you in? How dare you harass the residents? Get lost, or we’re calling the police!” one of them barked.
“You… you…”
Trey tried to speak, but pain shot through him with every breath. His words came out in ragged gasps.
He had parked outside the complex and bribed the gatekeepers a hefty sum just to get in. And now, these men had taken the money and acted as if they didn’t know him at all.
Several minutes later, he managed to limp back to his car, utterly drained, without the strength to drive anywhere.
His phone vibrated-it was Angela calling. She had called multiple times, all of which he had ignored. Now, he weakly pressed “answer.”
“…Hey, come pick me up.” Before she could say anything, Trey, his voice hoarse and weak, cut in.
Sensing something was wrong, Angela immediately asked for his location.
After hanging up, Trey slumped over the steering wheel, his body aching, but his mind still replayed Khloe’s merciless words. The pain in his body was nothing compared to the sting of her rejection.
She… truly didn’t feel anything for him anymore? What had that man said or done to cloud her heart?
Amid his frustration and despair, Trey suddenly remembered something Khloe had said when he once proposed to her.
“Khloe, if one day I accidentally hurt you, but sincerely want your forgiveness, would you forgive me?”
“Of course. You’re my husband, and you treat me so well. Our love has come this far; I won’t give up so easily.”
No… it wasn’t possible. Khloe had loved him for six years-how could she have fallen for another man in such a short time? Even if he had hurt her, the deeper the wound, the harder it should be for her to let go.
Her cruelty, her anger, her use of another man to spite him-it only proved she hadn’t truly let him go.
A cold smirk crept across Trey’s face.
‘Khloe… let’s see how far you can go. You’re trying to use a man unworthy of your love to get back at me-I want to see how long this ridiculous revenge will last.’
Khloe had just returned home and was about to call Nick when the doorbell rang. She glanced through the peephole and opened the door immediately.
“Aren’t you supposed to be busy late tonight?” she asked, glancing at the clock-it was just past nine.
Nick had mentioned a meeting that would last past eleven, so they wouldn’t have dinner together. She had
