Chapter 171\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Lauren had already said as much, neither Trey nor Stella dared to deny it anymore. From her tone, however, it didn\u2019t seem as though she intended to pursue the matter further.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella silently let out a breath of relief and quickly spoke up to excuse Trey. \u201cIt was all Angela\u2019s fault-she schemed from the start, trying to get close to Trey again and seduce him. Trey\u2019s mind has always been on the company and the family. He was caught off guard, that\u2019s all\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she spoke, she lightly nudged her son\u2019s arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Trey kept his head lowered, saying nothing. These things couldn\u2019t be blamed on Angela alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s enough. If I\u2019d come here to interrogate you, I wouldn\u2019t be wasting words on you now,\u201d Lauren said. She gripped her cane with both hands and sighed, deeply disappointed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had trusted Khloe because of her obedience and good sense, believing she would make a fine granddaughter- in-law. That was why she had felt at ease retiring to enjoy her later years. Who would have thought that in just two years\u2026 even Khloe had changed so much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it seems Angela is the reason Khloe is angry with you. But now everything\u2019s been dealt with. Go apologize to Khloe. Explain things clearly between you and Angela, and have her come home first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Angela was certainly at fault, but Khloe\u2019s behavior these past few days had also left him feeling stifled and resentful. He had given her countless chances, defended her when trouble arose, yet she remained cold toward him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His heart felt heavy now, and he had no desire to be the one to bow his head again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella was equally unwilling, but just as she was about to say a few words on Trey\u2019s behalf, Lauren\u2019s sharp gaze\u00a0<\/p>\n
cut her off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without another word, Lauren dialed Khloe\u2019s number. One call went unanswered. She called again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still early\u2026 she probably hasn\u2019t woken up yet,\u201d Trey said, worried that Khloe might truly refuse to give Lauren face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Lauren was persistent. Sure enough, not long after, the call connected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHello?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe\u2019s voice came through, drowsy and unfocused. She hadn\u2019t fully woken up; the phone had been vibrating nonstop, and she answered it on instinct.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren\u2019s voice reached her ears, and Khloe jolted awake. She covered the phone and sat up, rubbing her head. \u201c\u2026 Grandma?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy so distant? I\u2019ve been recuperating these past few days, and you haven\u2019t even called once. Are you really planning to ignore this old woman?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though her words carried a hint of reproach, her tone was gentle and affectionate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe glanced at the time-it was just past seven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The night before, she and Nick had stayed together until nearly dawn. She\u2019d been so tired she could barely keep her eyes open before they said goodnight and returned to their respective rooms. Nick was probably still asleep\u00a0<\/p>\n

now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe got out of bed and stepped outside to take a look. The guest room door was slightly ajar, and the man inside was sleeping peacefully. Only then did she feel reassured. She quietly closed the door and returned to her room to continue the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, are you feeling better now?\u201d Khloe asked politely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At once, Lauren began to complain. \u201cMy body\u2019s a bit better, but my mood isn\u2019t. I used to stay at your place whenever I came back. The servants at the family esstate are all so clumsy-I\u2019m not used to living there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you could move back and stay there again,\u201d Khloe replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat would I go back for without you? Khloe, you\u2019re like my own granddaughter. You know I care more about you than I do about Trey.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren\u2019s words made Khloe\u2019s chest feel faintly tight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was true-Lauren had treated her very well in the past. But she also made a habit of openly expressing that affection, which sometimes left Khloe feeling pressured. That was why Khloe had always taken such careful,\u00a0<\/p>\n
conscientious care of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet now Khloe understood clearly: no matter how well Lauren treated her, she was, in the end, still an outsider.\u00a0<\/p>\n
