At noon, Angela returned to the Fox family estate from the hospital with Pete, her expression weary.
“Mommy, is Daddy really that tired? He’s been sleeping for two whole days!”
Pete looked up at the room upstairs, curiosity shining in his eyes as he asked Angela.
Angela faced him, momentarily at a loss for how to explain. After a pause, she ruffled his hair gently.
“Your Daddy is just very tired and needs plenty of rest. Things have been hectic at home lately, so you have to behave, okay?”
Pete nodded earnestly. He understood that everyone in the family was unhappy. It was surely that bad woman, Khloe, causing trouble again.
When he grew up, he would help his parents and deal with that wicked woman once and for all.
After handing Pete over to the household staff, Angela went upstairs to check on Trey.
The past couple of days hadn’t been easy. Arthur had regained consciousness, but his aftereffects were severe- his speech was still slurred.
Stella had cried herself raw, staying by his side in the hospital day and night. Overnight, she had transformed from a formidable, commanding matron into someone haggard and worn.
Now that Alicia had nearly finished her confinement period and had gone to the hospital to relieve Stella, Angela no longer needed to stay there. She could return home to care for Pete, Lauren, and also look after Trey.
Trey had been deeply shaken. After Arthur’s illness, he had developed a fever himself and had been bedridden for two days.
Khloe’s actions were calculated to kill the Fox family’s spirit. While Arthur lay gravely ill, she had somehow raised a massive investment and used it to dilute the Fox family’s shares to less than ten percent! Even selling off all the family assets wouldn’t have been enough to match the capital required.
At this rate, the Fox family’s company would definitely be renamed!
Khloe was ruthless, utterly without shame. Online criticism of her and Trey had not stopped. The Fox family had nowhere to turn. They had no allies in the industry. Everyone assumed this was the end of the Fox family.
But nobody realized the true architect and beneficiary of all this was Khloe herself. She was no innocent victim– she was a venomous woman.
“Trey…”
Angela returned to the bedroom, only to find Trey absent from the bed. The sheets were a chaotic mess, and a medicine box lay overturned on the floor.
She had called him countless times, all unanswered. Then, seemingly realizing something, he had hurriedly left
the house.
His fever had just subsided, but he was still weak as he drove toward the Fox Group.

He knew Khloe was continuing her attacks on the company. Yet, the thing that hurt him most wasn’t the company-it was that she truly intended to leave him, severing all ties.
Only now did Trey realize that he wasn’t as detached as he had thought. He had been dreaming of Khloe in a foggy, half-conscious daze these past two days.
In his dreams, he relived everything from the beginning of their acquaintance-the journey they had taken together. Khloe had given him a sense of security and warmth he had never experienced in the Fox family.
