Chapter 1123
Khloe was most likely just trying to scare him.
As if reading Trey’s thoughts, Khloe spoke before he could react.
“Oh right, I almost forgot-you still have that royal heiress backing you. You can call her over to help you. I’ll wait

Trey was speechless.
He instinctively gulped and immediately pulled out his phone, dialing Ariana’s number.
No answer. Not a single call went through.
“How dare you… She’s not someone you can afford to offend!” he snapped, his voice tightening.
Seeing Khloe sitting there with calm composure, Trey didn’t even bother calling his subordinates to confirm. He had already concluded that Ariana had fallen into Khloe’s hands as well.
Khloe said lightly, “No matter how powerful her identity is, she’s still in my territory. And coming all the way back to the country with you to handle these dirty little schemes she probably didn’t even dare inform her family, did she? If something happens to her while she’s with you… tell me, who do you think will be the first to suffer the consequences?”
Her indifferent tone sent a wave of cold dread through Trey.
In Goldmont City, Khloe did, in fact, have means.
If Ariana disappeared, he would be the perfect scapegoat. He might not even get a chance to defend himself.
Khloe had also lost her patience.
She suddenly stood up.
Trey flinched and took a step back.
In that instant, a far more terrifying possibility surfaced in his mind.
Could it be… that Khloe’s so-called breakup with Nick-and even the news of her divorce-were all part of a trap set for him?
If Khloe and Nick separated at a time like this, the outside world would inevitably speculate wildly.
He and Khloe had a past. They had met alone again. Rumors of rekindled old feelings leading to her divorce would surface sooner or later.
And if he died here right now, everyone would assume it was an accident.
No one would ever suspect Khloe.
Even Nick could testify that she had left him because of Trey…
“I’ll ask you one more time. Where is T7?”
Khloe’s voice suddenly cut through his thoughts like a blade.
Trey’s lips trembled. He tried to speak, but his throat felt as if it were being strangled shut.

Khloe’s flawless face was still enough to stir anyone’s heart, but now, he felt nothing but bone-deep fear. His bones seemed to be trembling.
When did Khloe become this… monster?
At 4:00 a.m., the surgical lights in Central Hospital were still on.
Outside the operating room, George stood grim-faced to one side. Arista paced anxiously back and forth, her face as pale as paper.
The person inside the emergency room was Nick.
He had not returned home for several days. It was only two hours ago that they received word-he had collapsed outside, his condition critical.
Arista’s hand clenched her phone so tightly her nails nearly broke, but she didn’t even notice. She hadn’t yet informed Loretta or other relatives.
But the doctors had already warned them repeatedly that the patient’s condition was unstable and that family members should be notified as soon as possible…
“Call everyone,” George finally said in a deep voice.
After such a long rescue attempt, Nick was likely already in grave danger.
Lenny was also there. His eyes were swollen and red as he stood silently, palms pressed together in frantic prayer.
The guilt in him was suffocating. He had known his boss was in poor condition, yet he still allowed him to enter the hotel without backup.
No one knew what had happened inside-but when Nick came out, his entire demeanor had changed. On the way back, he suddenly began vomiting blood, then collapsed into unconsciousness.
If Lenny had known it would come to this, no matter how harshly he might have been scolded, he would never have left Nick’s side for even a moment.
