Not one syllable. Absolutely no one could find out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMadam, it wasn\u2019t me! I swear I didn\u2019t say anything\u2026\u201d the maid blurted out, panicked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pete shook off the maid\u2019s hand and darted straight to Trey\u2019s side. \u201cDad! Why did you make Angela leave? I want her back. I want Mom-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t finish. Trey grabbed his shoulder in a tight, punishing grip, cutting him off with a furious, \u201cShut up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella\u2019s expression turned even harsher. She twisted the child\u2019s wrist so roughly his face contorted in pain and he wailed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou little brat! If your great-grandmother hears you running your mouth, I\u2019ll skin you alive!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella had never agreed to adopting a child. A child who wasn\u2019t flesh and blood-of course he\u2019d be disobedient and impossible to manage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pete broke down in loud sobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey quickly pulled him behind himself. \u201cMom, he\u2019s just a child.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can go in now,\u201d a young nurse said, stepping out. \u201cShe wants to see you. But remember-do not upset her again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey and Stella exchanged a look. They left Alicia outside to watch over the crying Pete, then entered the room together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside the luxurious ward, a man in a tailored suit stood beside the bed-her long-time bodyguard and assistant. At the old lady\u2019s signal, he bowed and quietly stepped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom\u2026 what happened? Why were you so furious?\u201d Stella spoke carefully, setting the gifts they brought onto the cabinet nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee for yourself.\u201d Lauren\u2019s voice was weak, but her presence cut like ice. She flicked her hand, and a thick envelope filled with photographs hit Trey squarely in the chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He caught it immediately, his expression tightening. He lowered his head and tore it open. \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella rushed over, snatching the contents from his hands. \u201cTrey, you-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But when she saw the woman\u2019s profile in the photos, her temper exploded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela. Again!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These photos were different from the ones she\u2019d received before. These had been shot at night-Angela getting into the same car as Trey, and walking arm-in-arm with him into a hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The date on the photos was last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had just finished lecturing him repeatedly to stay away from that woman-and this ungrateful brat had the nerve to sneak around with her again?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Lauren even spoke, Stella slapped Trey hard across the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat wretched woman! She must be cursed to haunt our Fox family forever! Tell me where she is. If you won\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 13h\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>give up on her, I\u2019ll make sure she gives up on you completely!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She grilled him mercilessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey, stunned from the slap, had no defense. He stayed silent for a long moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only when Stella turned to leave did he grab her arm. \u201cMom, this was my fault. Come at me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome at you? Are you planning to go against your grandfather\u2019s will? Throw away everything our family has given you? Divorce Khloe and run off with that woman?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lauren let out a cold laugh. When she first learned the truth, she\u2019d nearly exploded from anger-almost fatally so. But now she had recovered her calm entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If she died, who knew how delighted Angela would be?\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 137 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 137 \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-26654","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\/26654","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=26654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26654\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
