If the elders never see his true behavior now, when he\u2019s much older, they\u2019ll think I\u2019m the one who spoiled him,\u201d Khloe said calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou posted the video to the family group chat? Khloe, Pete is our son. You\u2019ve gone overboard!\u201d Trey\u2019s face drained of color.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the video appear in the group chat, past the window for deletion, he felt his face flush with embarrassment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the moment he spoke, he realized how obvious it was that he was defending Pete-and the child\u2019s repeated misbehavior left little room for argument.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He drew in a deep breath and tried to steady his tone. \u201cKhloe, a child should be guided, not humiliated. What you\u2019ve done\u2026 How will he face anyone in our family after this? You don\u2019t want Grandma and Mom worrying, do you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust cancel the police report! I\u2019ll compensate for the car and make Pete apologize properly!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Khloe could reply, Trey had already transferred the half a million. The transaction completed in moments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe glanced at the notification but gave no reaction, as if it were just a string of meaningless numbers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t cancel the report,\u201d she said calmly, opening the car door. \u201cAnd I think a police record might teach him more than an apology ever could. A child not taught is the father\u2019s fault, Trey. I hope you\u2019ll take this chance to reflect on your own responsibilities as a parent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her words were blunt and direct, but Trey\u2019s attention was immediately drawn to the barrage of family group\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[Oh my God, is this really Trey\u2019s kid? He\u2019s so unruly!]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[Where is Trey? Why isn\u2019t he controlling his kid? How could he let the kid smash someone else\u2019s car?! So rude!]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[Look at that glare! That\u2019s not a five-year-old-that\u2019s a monster!]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[Is this the boy Trey adopted? Honestly, he should be sent away\u2026 Something disastrous will happen when he grows up. He might even bring trouble to the family!]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Normally, the family group barely stirred over anything, but this video hit like a boulder dropped into the sea, sending shockwaves through everyone. Comment after comment struck Trey like lashes, each one burning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His fingers trembled over the keyboard as he tried to explain, yet he found himself at a loss for words.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By the time he gathered his wits, Khloe had already started the car and vanished into the distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey instinctively wanted to give chase, but his phone rang first. Stella\u2019s furious voice blared through the line, \u201d Trey! Look at what your son\u2019s done! He\u2019s shamed our family! Get back here immediately, and bring that little brat with you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The call ended abruptly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey froze. His mother\u2019s piercing scolding, combined with the constant pinging of the family group, felt like a bottomless chasm swallowing him whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Late at night, after everything was settled, Trey returned to Lauren\u2019s hospital room with Pete in tow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe had gone to the police station to file a report. She refused mediation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 145\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although Pete was a child, the damage was serious and the evidence irrefutable. He had been issued an official warning. Now, having just cried himself out, he clung tightly to Trey\u2019s side, barely daring to breathe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey himself looked exhausted. At home, he had scolded Pete harshly, prompting the boy to finally confess the truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the altercation with Khloe, Pete had felt wronged and called Angela. She, worried for her son, rushed over immediately and upon hearing what had happened, she was furious.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 145 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 145 \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-26662","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\/26662","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=26662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26662\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
