Lauren ended the call with a huff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t notice that the call had lasted ten seconds, just enough for the tail end of her words to reach Khloe\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
ears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time Khloe had driven home, picked up the phone, and was about to speak, she heard the furious tone of the elder woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an instant, her heart sank completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So everyone in the Fox family had known about Angela-everyone but her. Even Lauren, whom she had once been so grateful to, had kept her in the dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Fox family had never truly seen her as a person. To them, she had been no more than a tool for Trey\u2019s convenience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And she had given all her feelings to him-enduring the disdain of Stella and the others, working tirelessly to treat them like family, striving for household harmony\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
All those memories resurfaced, and no matter how controlled and rational she tried to be, her heart still ached.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a long, slow breath, Khloe wiped away the meaningless tears and let her face return to its usual cool, detached expression. She dialed her assistant. \u201cHandle something for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she moved out of the Fox residence, she had taken a few strands of hair from Pete, Trey, and Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had had her assistant run a DNA test. The results, unsurprisingly, confirmed what she had suspected: Pete was indeed the child of Angela and Trey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This bombshell had originally been reserved as her final gesture-a way to reclaim herself and then deliver the ultimate revelation to the Fox family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But today\u2019s events had shifted her plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If the Fox family was so united, once they learned the truth, Angela wouldn\u2019t need to hide anymore\u2026 and that would be far too convenient for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Pete wanted to reunite with Angela, then Angela being expelled from the family couldn\u2019t happen without consequences for him as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The solution was simple: just let the Fox family know that Pete was Angela\u2019s child. That would be enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After placing the call, Khloe dragged her tired body into the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But as she reached her front door, she saw a familiar figure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression was dark, and she had no idea how long he had been waiting. He leaned sideways against the wall, wrapped in his coat, idly fiddling with the pair of gemstone cufflinks she had given him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the vast corridor, his tall frame looked lonely and pitiable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick? You\u2026 why\u2026\u201d Khloe\u2019s heart skipped a beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halfway through her question, she remembered that he had mentioned meeting in the evening when they parted\u00a0<\/p>\n

that morning. But she had been so busy that she had completely forgotten.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Glancing at her phone, she realized that more than three hours ago, Nick had sent her a message, asking if she wanted to go out for dinner tonight. She hadn\u2019t replied, and he hadn\u2019t bothered her further. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI went to your office to look for you. They said you had already left. I noticed you didn\u2019t reply, and I was a little worried, so I came to check.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick didn\u2019t look up, speaking in a low, muffled tone, before stepping out from the shadows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For some reason, Khloe felt an unusual chill emanating from him. She hurried forward. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you call me? How long have you been waiting here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had made a call, but she had been on another call at that time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a child, he had always called his family whenever he had free time, but no one ever picked up. Over time, he had grown averse to calling, especially when met with silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t elaborate. \u201cA while,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry I\u2019m late. You must have waited a long time.\u201d Khloe stepped closer, gently leaning against Nick\u2019s side in a comforting embrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
