You were just jealous and misunderstood! Once you clear it all up, you can\u2019t help but care about Trey, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMisunderstood?\u201d Khloe echoed, skeptical.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. I\u2019ve heard about what happened online. Angela got what she deserved!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the mention of Angela, Khloe\u2019s chest tightened, thinking Lauren was about to confess something. But the old lady\u2019s words shifted unexpectedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s of that age and still unmarried. She was jealous of the harmony between you and Trey, and that\u2019s why she acted up. But I can assure you, Khloe, Trey\u2019s heart belongs only to you. Angela is only using the fact she was once his student to get close to him, but there\u2019s nothing between them! Khloe, don\u2019t let such a trivial thing cloud your thoughts about him!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lauren spoke at length, emphasizing her point, and in doing so removed all blame from Angela-leaving Khloe to shoulder any remaining responsibility. Trey, by contrast, was rendered innocent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe almost laughed at the absurdity. Once Lauren finished, she handed the phone to Trey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey, come over. In front of grandma, swear to Khloe: there\u2019s nothing between you and Angela, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma\u2026\u201d Trey tried to resist, reluctantly taking the phone. He didn\u2019t want to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need,\u201d Khloe said almost simultaneously.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her voice was cold, like ice, but through the phone it sounded measured-almost like sulking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma, I didn\u2019t tell you before because I knew you weren\u2019t well. Actually, Trey and I are no longer involved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The words hit like a thunderclap. Both Lauren and Trey\u2019s expressions changed drastically.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo longer involved?\u201d The old woman\u2019s voice rose a few tones, hoarse with trembling. \u201cKhloe! You can\u2019t just say things like that! You\u2019re married! Even if you want a divorce, you can\u2019t decide that without our consent!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s right. I want a clean cut from Trey. But it doesn\u2019t need to be complicated like a divorce. We can just separate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe had no intention of confronting the Fox family so early, but her revenge against Trey wasn\u2019t over yet. She knew taking Fox Group\u2019s shares would be impossible without conflict, and she didn\u2019t want the family constantly interfering. So she decided to draw a clear line with Trey first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, what do you mean by this? I know you\u2019re upset, but\u2026 you can\u2019t just talk about divorce like this!\u201d Lauren could no longer sit still, pounding on the table in frustration,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella, however, sneered, dismissing Khloe\u2019s words as mere posturing. With the Angela incident, she felt wronged herself, thinking Khloe was simply trying to assert dominance over them again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, how greedy and insatiable can you be? Marrying into our family is a blessing you earned over lifetimes! You\u2019ve had a comfortable life as a wife, and yet you\u2019ve developed this sense of entitlement? Want your mother-in- law and sister-in-law to constantly apologize to you? Demand fifty percent of Fox Group? Now you even want Trey to kneel and beg?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Stella could finish, Trey took the phone from her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 172\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, you\u2019re really going too far now. I could let the past slide, but now you\u2019re talking about divorce and separation. If you really mean it, then\u2026 fine, it\u2019s up to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Trey\u2019s words were cut off-Khloe had already hung up. She hadn\u2019t even waited to hear him finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 172 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 172 \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-26689","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\/26689","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=26689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26689\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
