He hurried to the bedside. Outside the window, on the street opposite, a row of luxury cars was parked. Beside them stood several men who looked like bodyguards, their attention flickering toward the window from time to time.
It was obvious they were Khloe's people.
But today, they had clearly agreed to meet alone. If Khloe brought anyone else, their deal would be off.
Trey had assumed Khloe would do anything for Nick—that she would be completely at his mercy.
Was it possible…
A realization struck him.
Khloe hadn't come alone as a desperate gamble for Nick. She was… playing along with his act?
He had deliberately lured Nick here, intending to force a complete rupture between them.
Yet, Khloe's people had been stationed outside the entire time. She could have stopped Nick the moment he arrived.
So that meant…
Nick's appearance tonight wasn't his plan alone.
Everything had already been anticipated by Khloe.
No—more precisely, Khloe was using his hand to push Nick to give up and walk away from her for good.
"Trey, if you don't hand over T7 today, tell me—will your family suffer more, or will you die faster?" Khloe's voice turned icy again when she saw his expression falter.
Trey was completely stunned. "Khloe… since you already knew what I was planning today, then why did you still—"
Khloe didn't answer. She only smiled faintly, almost leisurely.
"Do you really want to break up with Nick?"
Trey's heart tightened. Even without her saying it, the answer was obvious.
He had thought Khloe's divorce was only a delaying tactic. He hadn't expected her to be this ruthless.
