I only met up with Angela for work. Recently, Khloe hasn\u2019t been at the company, and many projects had no one in charge. Angela happened to have the right connections to help out. Dad knows this too. Last night, I met Angela purely for work reasons. She fell ill, so I took her to the hospital\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey quickly composed himself, his face calm and expression neutral as he explained. His gaze briefly swept over Stella.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella knew better than to lose her temper now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lauren still held control over a portion of the family\u2019s assets. It was wiser to calm her first, so Stella stepped in to help Trey smooth things over:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom\u2026 I already knew about this. And I\u2019ve already scolded Trey! He could have asked anyone for help, but of all people, he picked Angela! But you\u2019ve really misunderstood-there are no problems between Trey and Khloe. There\u2019s no way he\u2019d entangle himself with Angela. It\u2019s all for the company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re saying\u2026 Arthur knows about this too?\u201d Lauren took a deep breath, her face nearly flushing again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela suddenly reappearing at Trey\u2019s side-such a huge matter-and the entire family had conspired to hide it from her?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella had always distrusted Angela. Trey was easily swayed by women. Only Arthur, she trusted. And now, even he\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma, Dad also scolded me. I was foolish to let Angela handle company matters, but now, she\u2019s already left the company,\u201d Trey quickly explained, stepping forward to support Lauren, bowing his head and accepting her scolding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Trey\u2019s attitude, Lauren\u2019s expression softened slightly, though she still thumped his shoulder heavily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey, you\u2019ve really disappointed me! I\u2019ve been wondering why Khloe moved out\u2026 could it be because she discovered your past with Angela?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma, don\u2019t worry. Khloe doesn\u2019t know about Angela,\u201d Trey said immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course she doesn\u2019t! She may seem gentle, but her temper is fierce. If she knew about this, she\u2019d storm off and divorce you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella nodded in agreement, secretly rolling her eyes at Khloe\u2019s name. She had once thought Khloe obedient and easy to manage, but now, spoiled by Trey, she was probably much more difficult to handle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only then did Lauren let out a quiet sigh of relief. She paused a moment before saying, \u201cBring me my phone. I\u2019ll call Khloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma\u2026\u201d Trey looked at her worriedly, as if fearing she might side with Khloe and say something more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHurry!\u201d Lauren snapped, impatient. \u201cEven if this isn\u2019t about Angela, do you really plan to leave your wife upset and expect her to come back on her own?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey\u2019s eyes lit with a small smile. Understanding that his grandmother was thinking of him, he quickly handed her the phone. The thought of Khloe returning home filled him with a quiet, indescribable joy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella pursed her lips. In her view, Lauren\u2019s gesture was unnecessary. If Khloe wanted to move out, let her. She\u2019d eventually have to come back to beg Trey, just like she had once clung to the Fox family to secure her marriage. Stella didn\u2019t believe Khloe could ever give up such a hard-won marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 138\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Lauren dialed, Khloe quickly answered. She was in a meeting with the Morrison Group and their team, so she got up and went to the phone room next door.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, I\u2019m sick. I\u2019m in the hospital!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Khloe immediately tensed, worry flooding her voice. \u201cWhat happened? Are you okay? Is it your old condition acting up again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 138 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 138 \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-26655","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\/26655","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=26655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26655\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
