Chapter 372
Nick’s steps came to an abrupt halt.
Winnie almost bumped into him, and following Nick’s gaze, she saw the scene unfolding ahead.
Khloe was being entangled by a man. The man’s embrace seemed to verge on something intimate, but someone intervened just in time and pulled him away.
A fresh wave of security surged forward-seven or eight men forming a tight circle around Trey. He struggled, but it was nearly impossible to break free.
Even in this state-disheveled, clothes nearly torn-Trey refused to give up. He still tried to inch closer to Khloe.
Khloe froze, taken aback. She hadn’t expected him to act so recklessly.
Trey had always maintained an impeccable appearance in front of her; his pride and dignity were his pillars. That was why, for so many years, he had kept up the image of the “perfect man” for someone he didn’t love.
“Trey, I’m married now. I stopped loving you a long time ago.”
Her words dripped with sarcasm, delivering a figurative slap across Trey’s face-right there in front of everyone.
The crowd murmured, watching him like they were watching a clown. Anyone with eyes could see Khloe had long ceased to care, much less love him.
Trey’s chest tightened as though a knife had been plunged into it. His first reaction was denial.
“Impossible! You couldn’t have married someone else! Where did you even find a guy to marry? How long have you known him…?”
Even as he spoke, there was a flicker of panic beneath his rage. He remembered glimpsing Khloe with someone at the courthouse-but even that… shouldn’t matter.
“Khloe! Even if you married someone just to spite me, to take revenge, I don’t care! We can start over, can’t we? Let’s make it even!”
Trey’s words grew wilder, more unhinged, to the point that nearby former classmates could no longer stand it. They stepped forward, trying to calm him down.
But he ignored them completely, yelling hoarsely at Khloe.
“Khloe…don’t you remember the promise you made me? You said no matter what, you would forgive me and stay with me forever…”
Yet, no matter how Trey spoke, Khloe remained unmoved. Not a flicker of expression crossed her face.
Watching Trey writhe in desperation, she felt as though she were observing a stranger.
For the first time, Khloe truly understood what it meant to have completely lost feelings for someone. She had no desire to argue, nor the urge to fight.
Seeing him, thinking of the past, felt like looking through another lifetime.

She didn’t respond to Trey. Before his words even ended, she had already turned and walked through the crowd.
The veins on Trey’s neck bulged. The hotel manager, fearing chaos, motioned for the security team to forcibly pull him back into the private room.
Everyone instinctively cleared a path for Khloe, their eyes filled with a mix of awe and respect.
Trey shouted her name, stretching his arms as far as he could, desperate to grasp something. Yet, that small distance proved insurmountable.
The woman who had once been always within reach-the one he could see, touch, and have by his side at any moment was now separated by a chasm he could not cross. Close enough to see, yet as far away as the ends of the earth.
Meanwhile, Winnie, having watched the scene, opened her mouth to speak, only to find Nick had vanished. He had already slipped away without her noticing.
When Khloe finally approached Winnie, Nick was nowhere in sight.
