Earlier, Trey had handed Angela the USB drive containing Khloe’s thesis, and she hadn’t returned it yet.
Fortunately, after searching for a while, Trey found it tucked in the drawer of the nightstand. Seems he had worried for nothing.
The night deepened, city lights stretching in a continuous sea, reflecting in the streaks of passing car windows, a blur of shadow and color.
Pete sat quietly, staring out the window, lips pressed tight, silent.
Angela had just finished a phone call and, after transferring data from her laptop in the car, noticed her son’s withdrawn posture.
“Pete, don’t be afraid. We’re only leaving for a short while. You trust Mommy, right?”
Pete immediately nodded. “Yes! I trust Mommy!”
But then his lips puckered in sadness. “But… I don’t want to be without Daddy. I don’t want Daddy to be with a bad woman…”
“Don’t worry.” Angela wrapped her arms around his small head. “As long as Mommy is here, Daddy will never abandon you.”
Divorce? Hah, not in her life.
Khloe wanted to crush them? She could dream on.
Angela had already uploaded Khloe’s unpublished data to a listed company in Jayelle City-coincidentally the company her parents worked for. Though Angela’s family wasn’t ostentatiously wealthy, her parents were national-level academic elites, and the company had its own governmental-level backing.
If Goldmont City couldn’t offer her a future, she’d just return to her own turf.
In the past few days, she had negotiated terms with the company. They valued the research data she provided and offered her a position as branch manager. Once she returned to familiar ground and secured her parents’ support, she could easily build a company alongside Trey that rivaled Fox Group.
She had intended to prove that she was superior to Khloe: if Khloe could bring Fox Group to IPO, she could resurrect the Fox family’s legacy just as well.
But she hadn’t even had the chance to tell Trey this before his family turned on her.
Fine. Then she would show them exactly how low Khloe was compared to her.
…
Meanwhile, Khloe was at Morrison Group, working late into the night, finalizing the pharmaceutical project approvals.
During her absence, many tasks had piled up. Oscar had handled some of them, but the core approvals required Khloe’s personal attention.
