It was Angela calling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seeing that Trey hadn\u2019t reached out, she could no longer sit still. She had already arranged for Pete to stay with her, yet Trey seemed to have completely forgotten both of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey didn\u2019t want to pick up, but as soon as he rejected the call, the call came through again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren\u2019s brows knitted in suspicion. \u201cWho\u2019s calling so persistently?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWork\u2026 probably something from the company,\u201d Trey muttered reluctantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen take it. We\u2019re family-what could be inconvenient about that?\u201d Lauren\u2019s tone softened, but she paused, as if recalling something. \u201cBy the way\u2026 where\u2019s Pete?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though adopted, he was still her little great-grandson. Since Lauren had accepted Khloe, she no longer fussed over bloodlines.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh\u2026 I thought you might be resting, so I had someone take him out to play.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren said nothing more and finally moved toward the dining room to eat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That evening, Stella and Alicia also arrived at Trey\u2019s house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren had come on short notice, while Stella and Alicia had only just returned from a trip the day before. They immediately rushed back in the afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren was known as the iron-willed matriarch of the Fox family. Even Arthur, who was generally indulgent with them outside of company matters, had to bow to her authority. In her absence over the past year, the household air had felt markedly lighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sure enough, barely had they exchanged greetings than Lauren shifted into interrogation mode, immediately asking about Khloe and Trey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alicia could no longer hold back. \u201cWe didn\u2019t bully Khloe! Clearly Trey spoiled her too much, that\u2019s why she\u2019s acting like she owns me and Mom. I only asked her to cook me a meal. She refused, then used it to threaten the company, demanding apologies from Mom and me\u2026\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlicia!\u201d Trey sharply interrupted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren\u2019s expression darkened instantly. \u201cWhat did you just say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom\u2026 well, Alicia did overstep a little.\u201d Trey instinctively tried to defend Khloe, but before he could finish, Alicia snapped at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrey, are you really spineless? I\u2019ve heard how Khloe\u2019s been treating you these days! She actually demanded fifty percent of the company\u2019s shares! Do you think Mom and I didn\u2019t suffer to make her happy?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella chimed in. \u201cMom, even if we were wrong, that doesn\u2019t give Khloe the right to treat us this way. I\u2019m her mother-in-law; she should be showing some respect. Besides, she can\u2019t bear children for our family. If I\u2019m occasionally strict with her\u2026 she shouldn\u2019t complain!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella knew Lauren\u2019s temper, and Trey had already briefed her. She understood that the old lady was here to support Khloe, so she swallowed her anger, careful not to speak too harshly against Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren remained silent for a long moment. She wouldn\u2019t take Alicia or Stella\u2019s word at face value-but Khloe\u2019s attitude now was clearly different from before. A girl of her character wouldn\u2019t dare to show such defiance unless\u00a0<\/p>\n

she had a valid reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, I\u2019m tired. You guys go on ahead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a wave, Lauren stopped them from speaking further and returned to her room to rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But no sooner had she closed the door than she called her people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFind out exactly what Khloe has been doing lately. And keep a close eye on Trey. See if there\u2019s anything unusual going on with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Trey hesitate to answer calls earlier, Lauren\u2019s instincts told her she needed to act herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By nine o\u2019clock that night, after sending Stella and Alicia off, Trey headed straight to Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t that he was annoyed by her nonstop calls and messages; he had to retrieve Pete to prevent Lauren from becoming suspicious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the way, Stella had reminded him firmly: no further involvement with Angela. Now that Lauren was home, under no circumstances could she discover that he still had contact with Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
