Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

The word had barely left his mouth when a file folder came flying across the room, grazing the side of Trey’s face.

Arthur didn’t say a word, but the anger in the air was so thick it seemed to press against the walls of the office.

“I know you’re furious,” Trey said carefully, “but I really did just ask Angela here to help the company.”

“What’s this?” Arthur’s tone was cold, his expression unchanged. “Feeling sorry for her now?” His lips curved in a faint, cutting smile. “If you want to go keep her company, I’ve already prepared your resignation.”

He wasn’t bluffing. There was indeed a document on the desk in front of Trey-a resignation agreement, drawn up in precise legal language.

If he signed it, he’d immediately step down as CEO, give up all his company shares, and leave the Fox family for good.

Trey felt his stomach drop. For the first time, panic flickered behind his eyes. His father had the full backing of the shareholders; reclaiming control from him would be effortless.

“Dad, that’s not what I meant.

“I don’t need your explanations,” Arthur said flatly. “You know what to do about Angela. If I hear even once more that you’re still in contact with her, I’ll make sure she pays the price.

“And you don’t even think about touching Fox Group again. I don’t care if you’re my only son. I won’t let a man who’s brought shame to the family and lied to his elders inherit anything from me.”

His voice was calm, but each word carried the weight of iron.

Trey knew his father well enough to understand what that tone meant-once he made up his mind, there was no turning him.

“Dad, I know I made mistakes. But please believe me, there’s nothing between Angela and me anymore. Everything I’ve done… it’s been for the company.”

“I know what happened with Khloe,” Arthur cut him off, his voice edged with impatience. “No matter how willful she’s been lately, that doesn’t excuse you from letting your temper ruin things. When the company’s survival depends on her, it’s your failure as a man-and as a leader-that she’s not standing by your side.”

He wasn’t interested in hearing excuses. He had come to clean up a mess, not debate it.

Trey tried again. “But she wants half of the company’s shares. How am I supposed to agree to that? I only control twenty percent myself.”

Arthur was silent for a long moment before turning to him.

“You can’t even win back a woman? You bring your old lover into both the company and your home, and you think Khloe would just smile and accept that?”

Trey had no answer. His lips moved, but no sound came out. Even now, his pride wouldn’t allow him to admit that Khloe’s heart might have changed.

“Half the shares is excessive,” Arthur said at last. “Negotiate. Give her half of what you hold. It’s your shared marital property anyway.”

He’d thought it through. Ten percent of the company shares from Trey’s end was a small sacrifice to keep Khloe in place and it meant Arthur himself would still retain ultimate control of the company.

But Trey’s expression faltered. His heart thudded, heavy and uneasy. He hadn’t actually registered his marriage to Khloe. There was no marriage certificate-only the illusion of one.

“Dad…” he began, hesitating.

Arthur didn’t let him finish. “Either bring Khloe back, or leave the company. You have three days. My patience is limited.”

He stood, collected his papers, and walked out without another glance, ignoring Trey’s plea behind him.
