The moment the call connected, Alicia’s sobs came through the line. Angela was shocked by the news of Lauren’s death, yet after confirming it, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift. She almost laughed out loud. That old hag-always wishing for her and Trey to divorce-had finally gotten her retribution. Suppressing her excitement, Angela questioned Alicia in detail about the situation. Following Stanley’s instructions, Alicia only said Lauren had suffered sudden heart failure.

She didn’t mention Khloe at all. Khloe’s matter would be better discussed face-to-face after Angela returned. Angela asked about the family’s condition, and Alicia patiently answered every question.

As soon as he got into the car, Angela handed him the tea she had prepared. “Here, have some tea to sober up.” “Thank you. | didn’t drink much.” Barney was clearly pleased by her thoughtfulness. He smiled. Then he asked, “Why the sudden rush to take leave? Did something happen?” “Yes. I need to go back to Goldmont to handle something. It’s urgent, and I’m not sure how long it will take.

But don’t worry, I’ll —- work remotely and won’t delay anything,” Angela answered at once Barney frowned. “Something happened at home?” “Yes. My grandmother passed away.” Angela hadn’t wanted to share too much about her private life, but she worried he might form the wrong impression, so she told him the truth. “You mean your ex-husband’s grandmother?” Barney’s question startled her. Only then did she realize he already knew about her divorce. That day, she had drunk too much at Kirsten’s bar, and Barney had gone to pick her up. Afterward, Angela and Kirsten had quarreled.
