I\u2019m her mother\u2013in\u2013law! On what grounds should I?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the grounds that she\u2019s holding the company\u2019s core project for next quarter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arthur finally spoke, tossing the file onto the coffee table. That riverside villa under your name, and Alicia\u2019s trust fund they\u2019re frozen, effective immediately. They\u2019ll stay frozen until you apologize to Khloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom,\u201d Trey added, his voice steely, \u201cyou need to get a handle on Alicia. No matter how spoiled she is, she doesn\u2019t get to gamble with the company\u2019s future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That villa was Stella\u2019s pride and joy, her ultimate status symbol. Alicia\u2019s trust fund was her only leverage over her husband. Losing them would mean they couldn\u2019t hold their heads up in the Fox family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alicia panicked. Tears welled instantly in her eyes. \u201cDad! You can\u2019t do this to me. I just had a baby\u2026!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Fox family\u2019s money can support idlers, but not fools, Arthur snapped. \u201cEither you apologize to your sister- in\u2013law immediately, or you pack up and leave this house. Choose.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella\u2019s hands shook violently. She looked at Trey\u2019s hardened profile, then at her husband\u2019s uncompromising\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>stare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only then did she realize that her attempt to crush Khloe had backfired spectacularly. Instead of humiliating her daughter\u2013in\u2013law, she and Alicia had drawn fire from both husband and son, suffering heavy punishment in\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>return.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At last, Stella clenched her teeth and ordered the servant to dial Khloe\u2019s number.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Khloe answered, Stella\u2019s voice was stiff as rusted iron. The word \u201csorry\u201d was torn from her throat as if it were barbed wire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alicia sobbed into the receiver, her words a tearful mumble. \u201cI\u2013I shouldn\u2019t have disturbed you at work\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the call ended, a heavy silence fell over the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella stared out the window, her eyes burning with pure venom. Her hatred for Khloe seethed within her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat bitch dared to humiliate me and Alicia. One day, I\u2019ll make her pay a hundred times over,\u2018 she thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That evening, when Trey returned home, Angela had prepared an elaborate dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thrilled that Khloe wasn\u2019t there, she saw it as a chance for their little family of three to finally enjoy a meal in\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>peace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Angela and Pete were in high spirits, Trey didn\u2019t crack a smile. Despite the feast on the table, he just pushed his food around with his fork before claiming he had no appetite and retreating to his study.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company was a mess, his family was a constant source of drama- a throbbing headache pulsed behind Trey\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The worst part was, if Khloe had successfully forced his hand this time, what was to stop her from holding the company hostage again in the future?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The more he thought about it, the tighter his chest felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And every time his thoughts landed on Khloe, the ache dug especially deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t focus on work. His finger hovered over her number on his phone, nearly dialing before he stopped.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>himself at the last second.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If he gave in now, she would only tighten her grip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey had no energy for intimacy with Angela that night. Even when she knocked and came in, he brushed her off, using work as an excuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Khloe hasn\u2019t come home,\u201d Angela asked quietly later, having noticed his distraction, \u201care you thinking about her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey let out a short, humorless laugh, reaching out to ruffle her hair. \u201cI am thinking about her. I\u2019m thinking about why\u2013why she dared to throw such a huge tantrum over my mother and Alicia.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s never lost her temper with you before,\u201d Angela murmured. \u201cIs that what scares you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 15 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 15 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26532\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
