Though Trey's tone remained disdainful, the anger simmering beneath his words was impossible to hide.
No one knew what had gotten into the Hunt Group—they had slashed prices to an extreme and snatched away a project Olympus had invested everything in.
The project itself was already a money pit. Hunt Group might not even be able to digest it.
What's more, Trey had agreed to Khloe's request not to compete with the Hunt Group for business—for now. Yet, Hunt Group had come at him on its own.
This wasn't competition. It was a fight to the death.
If Hunt Group had truly gone mad, then in the short term, both sides would suffer massive losses.
Olympus's foundation wasn't stable enough to endure that kind of drain. The Hunt Group had more than one project in hand, but even a towering tree could collapse under such strain.
"Nick won't die. And if he does, forget Olympus, I'll bury you with him!"
Khloe's voice cut sharp with disgust.
Trey drew in a breath and let out a mocking laugh. "Is that so? Then I suppose you don't want T7 anymore?"
"Stop threatening me. If you push me too far, it won't just be Hunt Group dragging you down. I'll do it myself."
Khloe's anger flared. After being snapped at, Trey fell into a brief silence. He knew her temper. If she were truly pushed to the brink, it would end in mutual destruction.
And that would ruin the rare chance to watch her and Nick suffer.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't everything you've done so far be wasted?" Trey relented at the right moment, his tone easing. "Khloe, I know you don't want Nick to die. I can hand over T7 ahead of schedule… but from then on, your development of the special drug will have to cooperate with Olympus. Help us recover our losses."
"Cooperate?" Khloe let out a cold laugh. "Sorry, we never discussed any partnership. And since I'm divorcing Nick, Hunt Group's actions have nothing to do with me anymore."
Her words struck exactly where it hurt.
