Chapter 49

Penulis: Tangy Candy
Trey froze for a moment. He rarely checked group chats, and all the old class and alumni groups were muted. Yet now, even before he finished scrolling through the messages, his phone buzzed with several pings from old classmates.

[Has something happened to Khloe?]

[Is she okay?]

[Does anyone know what's going on with her?]

His chest tightened. Panic rose, and all other thoughts vanished. He grabbed his phone, ready to call Khloe immediately.

"Khloe won't be hurt," Angela said casually, her voice laced with a teasing note. "She had the time to attend a reunion but ignored you. She's just messing with you—maybe this whole thing was deliberate, waiting for you to come find her."

Angela's words hit harder than she realized.

Trey paused, the tension in his chest easing slightly. So she wasn't in danger—she was deliberately holding back, controlling the situation, testing him.

It made sense. It was late, and calling her now might just make him look desperate.

    It seemed Angela's luck had truly turned. Somehow, she had already secured backing from the nation's elite capital circles.If what Angela said was true, how could the Fox family not leverage Solara Energy's background to make a comeback?Alicia didn't understand much about Solara Energy, but seeing Angela speak with such certainty, she finally fell silent for once."Alright, Angela," Alicia said impatiently. "Since you have access, hurry up and take us in. Stanley's boss is inside waiting for him."Angela pressed her lips together and didn't respond.After a brief pause, she glanced at her watch. "I need to go. My friend is waiting for me inside. Your arrival wasn't part of my plan. I'm not in a position to bring you in."With that, she turned to leave.Stanley grew anxious. He could tell Angela was deliberately putting Lauren in her place."Angela!" Alicia called after her sharply. "Are you really going to turn your back on us like this?""Wasn't it your family who turned th

    After Barney left, Angela's expression darkened.From a distance, Stella had already spotted her and hurried to catch up.Alicia was completely unreliable. At the entrance, the security refused to let them in, claiming that Alicia and Stanley had been stripped of their conference access.They had heard the reason: the earlier confrontation with Khloe outside.It wasn't surprising that Khloe would show up at a place like this. She had stolen the company's core projects, now had her own company, and naturally had enough influence to get herself in. But why should Alicia's scuffle with her affect them? This was clearly favoritism, seeing whom they could bully!Stella had been ready to make a scene, but then Alicia's sharp eyes spotted Angela.Seeing Angela enter the hall, they all called out to her."What are you doing here?" Angela hurried over to them, instinctively scanning for Trey. But he wasn't there.Alicia's lips were cut, and the fierce edge in her gaze had dulled. "Stanl

    Stanley immediately called his superior. By now, the VIPs should have already entered the inner hall. If the Morrison heiress had arrived, she would naturally be introduced. All he had to do was just ask and find out.The call connected quickly.Alicia wiped her sweaty palms nervously and pressed the speakerphone."Mr. O'Leary," Stanley greeted.Before he could finish, the voice on the other end snapped, "Where are you? Why aren't you here yet? Didn't I tell you this event is important? Don't be late!""Ah… there was a minor accident on the way. I'm afraid I won't make it," Stanley said cautiously. Better to omit the full truth. If Khloe really was the Morrison heiress, revealing the situation might get him fired on the spot."You're really letting a rare opportunity slip through your fingers!" Mr. O'Leary chided before moving to hang up. The surrounding area was noisy; many executives were entering and gathering around. He had to get to the venue himself."Wait, Mr. O'Leary… I'

    Khloe's assistant immediately responded, "As long as you give the word, no one would dare work with the Fox Group. After all, you are the sole heir to the Morrison fortune."The assistant deliberately enunciated each word, making sure Khloe's meaning was clear.Stanley felt a chill pierce his lungs. Could it be… Khloe was that Morrison heiress, the one who inherited billions?Alicia's eyes nearly popped out of her skull. When she finally came back to her senses, disbelief rooted her in place.Impossible! Absolutely impossible!Khloe had come from an orphanage—how could she be some wealthy heiress? This had to be some bluff… a few people spreading rumors to scare them.Alicia's mouth was still covered, so she could make no sound, only thrash against the guards in silent protest."Alicia," Khloe said coldly, "now that you know my identity, you should understand how merciful I've been by allowing the Fox Group to fail. Go back and tell your brother to return me my belongings. I'll

    But neither Stanley nor Alicia seemed to notice this. All they saw was Khloe stepping forward in heels, every movement elegant and controlled as she approached them."Khloe, don't take it personally. Alicia just lost control—really, we can talk—"Stanley tried to smooth things over, offering a diplomatic out. After all, he wasn't a Fox family member. Khloe now had the capability to run the company as CEO. This was her own accomplishment, not anyone else's. He didn't want to get caught in the middle of old grudges. He just wanted to stay neutral and play the good guy.But a single glance from Khloe froze him. Before he could react, strong hands grabbed him from behind, muffling his mouth."Alicia… I heard you right, didn't I? You cursed me?"Khloe stopped in front of Alicia, lips curving slightly.Alicia was being held down by three bodyguards, her mouth blocked. But Khloe lifted her chin subtly, signaling the guards to release their grip on her, giving Alicia the chance to spea

    Though the woman had only flashed past for a moment, Alicia's sharp eyes didn't deceive her."Khloe? She's here too?"Stanley was completely confused. When he followed Alicia's pointing finger, there was nothing but security guards in sight."The woman who just got out of that car—was Khloe!" Alicia shouted urgently.Stanley chuckled. "Are you going crazy wanting to settle things with Khloe? Even if she's here, do you think she'd come with such a big scene? You must be seeing things."Alicia hesitated for just a moment, a flicker of self-doubt crossing her mind. But she quickly spun on her heel and ran toward the registration desk—and sure enough, Khloe was there, surrounded by bodyguards and assistants, signing in."Khloe!!!"She couldn't get close, so she simply called out loudly.Khloe faintly caught the sound of someone calling her name. The voice was familiar enough that she looked up, scanning through the crowd, and spotted Alicia directly across from her.Seeing someone
