Chapter 340
After all, as long as the Fox family still had the company, they wouldn’t fall completely. This punishment was something Trey deserved.
But now, with Khloe hollowing out the Fox Group and poaching most of its employees and clients, Lauren simply couldn’t swallow her anger.
She had thought it through last night, and now, she had made up her mind: the fund would go to Trey. With Arthur’s health failing, Trey was the only one capable of saving the family’s legacy.
“That’s right. Take these funds. Whether you use them to rebuild the family business or as collateral for financing… there’s always a way. Khloe doesn’t have a family background, and she can’t stand firm in the business world. A gentleman waits ten years for revenge; as long as you’re determined, nothing is too late.”
Lauren didn’t believe the rumors that the company relied entirely on Khloe. Khloe had only gotten close to the Fox family and learned those skills through experience! Taking the Fox family’s assets would have been enough –but on top of that, she left them no breathing room, spreading news of Trey and Angela’s situation far and wide… Such a malicious girl-Lauren felt she had truly been blind to defend her.
“But… Grandpa’s will… I’ve already violated it…”
Trey’s newfound hope wavered as he thought of the key problem.
“I’m the guardian. As long as you and Angela finalize the divorce, this fund is yours,” Lauren said.
Her words shook Trey again. Stella had said it, and now, his grandmother said it too. Perhaps divorce really was the only way forward for him and Angela.
“You old hag! You’ve gone overboard! I’ve been holding back to please you all this time, and now the whole family gangs up to bully Pete and I?”
Trey hadn’t even finished speaking when the door was forcefully pushed open. Angela rushed in, eyes red, her voice raw and hoarse with emotion.
Was she supposed to suffer alone just because there was trouble?
Lauren and Trey hadn’t slept, and Angela hadn’t either. She had waited the entire night for Trey, even sent him messages apologizing-but he hadn’t responded at all.
Hearing movement in the hallway, she had come out to find him, only to see him follow Lauren into the study. She pressed herself against the door to listen, only to hear Lauren’s piercing voice demanding that Trey divorce her.
The servants rushed over, quickly restraining Angela.
Lauren’s face was a storm of dark and pale hues, her expression reaching the pinnacle of severity. She didn’t want to air the family’s dirty laundry, nor stoop to arguing with Angela. She pursed her lips at Trey.
“You decide. You know the family’s situation better than anyone.”
Seeing Lauren leave, Angela wanted to storm after her and vent, but Trey held her firmly, dragging her back into
his room.

“She’s my grandma. She spoke harshly, yes, but do you really want to fight her over it?”
“My dad is still in the hospital. You want my grandma to be admitted there too?”
Trey’s stern words left Angela feeling utterly helpless, her tears spilling uncontrollably. Her grief and fury had reached such a height that she couldn’t even speak.
Trey, annoyed yet unable to bear seeing her like this, turned and brought her a tissue.
“Wipe your tears.
His voice softened slightly, and a flicker of tenderness crossed his brow-Angela noticed instantly. She clutched his hand tightly.
“Please, Trey… I don’t want a divorce. I really love you. I’ve done so much for you; I have no way back. I won’t divorce you…”
