Trey’s voice was hoarse with desperation. He didn’t care who was watching, nor did he notice the servers who had rushed over at the commotion. He shoved himself in front of Khloe, blocking her escape, refusing to let her go until their old classmates from the private room noticed the disturbance and came out.
“Trey!”
“Khloe!”
The couple, walking one after the other, hurried over. At first, they thought Trey had drunk too much and gotten into a fight with a guest at the door. They never expected it to be Khloe.
A few more former classmates emerged, curious, but everyone knew the history between Trey and Khloe. They immediately treated it as entertainment. No one dared to intervene.
Seeing the couple moving toward them, someone gently held back the man, but Khloe’s old female classmate had already stepped forward.
“Khloe! It’s been a while! Do you remember me?”
Trey’s reckless energy finally eased a little at the sight of his friend. He panted, his eyes bloodshot and raw.
Her classmate couldn’t help feeling some sympathy. Everyone knew how Trey felt about Khloe. Even with their recent quarrel, surely Khloe hadn’t intended to drive him to this state.
Khloe scanned the woman and recognized her after a moment-an old classmate. But now, she had no patience for pleasantries, only irritation.
“Trey Fox, are you seriously crazy? How could you possibly think I want to start over with you? Listen carefully. You tricked me into marriage for two years. I have no feelings for you-love, hate, nothing. For someone as hypocritical, selfish, and despicable as you, I truly hope you stay tied to Angela forever. Even if you divorce, it will have nothing to do with me.
“If I were you, and I had even a shred of remorse, I’d avoid me for the rest of your life!”
Khloe’s voice was calm but precise. Each word landed like the sharpest blade, cutting through Trey’s carefully constructed façade.
A crowd had gathered-classmates, bar patrons-all drawn by the commotion. When Khloe spoke his name, the truth she revealed exposed him instantly. Her words left no room for misunderstanding; she wanted to ruin him socially.
Security rushed over, fearing Trey might escalate the scene. Even the couple who had hoped to mediate looked stunned, as if they had missed a crucial detail.
Trey’s face shifted between blue and purple, veins standing out. Security and the manager tried repeatedly to calm him and persuade him to leave. But his blood surged with fury, reason completely abandoned.
“This is impossible, Khloe! Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to yourself! I’ll make you see-you still love me!”
As Khloe turned to leave, he lunged forward like a man possessed, desperate to kiss her, to claim her entirely, just as Stella had said: to completely possess her.

But at that moment, Nick and Winnie were rushing toward the crowd.
Nick had just arrived at the bar when he heard the commotion. Seeing Winnie dazedly waiting for Khloe, he grabbed Khloe’s phone and left.
Winnie immediately realized something was wrong and hurried after him.
