160 Chapter 160: She Would Finally Have Her Revenge (1/2)
In the future, as a part-owner in the company, Kylie would be entitled to a voice in the company. Khloe, though, would be nothing but an employee, subject to the whims of her bosses – one of whom was she. Never again would Khloe have any power over her; it would always be the other way around!
As time went by, Kylie intended to slowly buy up more and more stock until, finally, she had full control of it. She would do it stealthily. Then, when she made the big announcement that she had 51% of the shares, everyone would be completely shocked, and she would finally have her revenge. On that day, with a smile on her face, she would terminate the employment of David, Khloe, and even her father, along with all of their private staff. She wanted to see their reaction when she finally came to that actual event.
The next afternoon, Laurence and Kylie found themselves sharing the same space outside of the studio. Kylie spat her gum into a garbage can and faced her father. ”Shit!” she laughed. ”I wouldn't have thought you'd be able to share the same space with me without me making you sick to your stomach. Tell me this, though, Daddy dear, when was it that you began to hate me, or did you always hate me?”
Laurence scowled at her but said nothing. He kicked at the dirt and, finally, it seemed as if he might say something, but then Faith and Lucas emerged from the building with grins on their faces, laughing. A car pulled up, and Kylie turned to her father. ”Catch you later, Boogaloo.”
The three of them climbed into the car, and, as they pulled away from the curb, Faith asked her what she and her father had been talking about.
”Nothing much,” she replied. ”You know, father-daughter stuff…”
Their morning had been very productive, so Lucas suggested that they go out and celebrate. Faith and Kylie thought it was a great idea, so they set a course for a lobster joint that was just an hour out of town and, on the way there, they chatted about the conversation Kylie had had with David the night before.
”How long have you had this idea in your back pocket?” Faith asked Kylie.
”It has been on my mind for a while,” Kylie replied. ”The company has been going downhill for a long time. The people at the top are all morons. The only way for it to recover would be for me to take it out from under their feet and lead us all in a different direction.”
”Now that you have stood up against Khloe though,” Lucas pointed out, ”they will have Aiden's family on their side. You may find that Aiden's family is a lot more formidable adversary than your own is.”
”Well then, I am happy to have you on my side,” Kylie replied.
Changing the subject slightly, Faith chuckled and said, ”Khloe's such an idiot, especially compared with you.”
When Laurence and his fellows went back to the hotel, Aiden found himself an excuse to go outside so that he could call Khloe. Khloe was busy, though, and only halfway home, so he offered to bring her snacks, and then he let her go.
