Chapter 194 Stella's thoughts drifted, as they always did, to Khloe. No matter how irritating Khloe could be, she was still far better than that scheming, shameless woman, Angela. "Even if Khloe didn't leave, nothing would've changed. Trey and Angela are already married." Lauren leaned back against the headboard, having just swallowed a calming pill, taking a few slow, deep breaths. She couldn't make sense of it. Holding her late husband's will in her hands was like gripping a knife at her own chest.

The Fox family's vast fortune-decades of toil, sweat, and heart-could it really be squandered in Trey's hands? "Then do we just... accept Angela?" Stella's voice carried her disbelief. "She has a child now. If she behaves, helps Trey... what choice do we have? My worry isn't even that part. It's the aftermath... Khloe can't hide forever. How can she divorce if there's no marriage to prove it? And if she doesn't, how will Angela handle it?" Lauren's eyes dimmed slightly.

"If she can't divorce... then she's out of the way." The plan was simple. First, coax Khloe back. After the company IPO, engineer a little accident-make her vanish. Over time, Angela and Trey's relationship could be revealed naturally. Pete was already Trey's adopted son; everything else would follow. And Khloe... she would just have to consider herself unlucky. It was the simplest, most direct solution.
