Didn\u2019t I tell you to have it ready before my nap? Are you out of your mind?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not that\u2026\u201d the maid said, feeling wronged. \u201cI did prepare it, but Angela drank it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat? That was mine! How dare she take it?\u201d Stella\u2019s eyes widened in disbelief. Her temper flared instantly, and without waiting for an explanation, she stormed off to confront Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her nerves were already frayed-ever since Angela had moved in, she couldn\u2019t sleep at night. But Angela had no awareness at all, constantly causing trouble at home with the child, always in the way, even neglecting basic courtesy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella had endured it for the sake of Pete, her grandson, and because the company was at a critical period. But this blatant disrespect, taking her nutritious drink? That was unforgivable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela was in the living room, playing chase with Pete. Stella cleared her throat sharply. Angela immediately stopped, but Pete, caught up in the excitement, kept running around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella gave the maid a glance, and the maid quickly ran over to intercept Pete.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung Master, stop running. Your grandmother is here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pete, terrified of Stella, instantly hid behind Angela, peeking out at her with fear. Even though he was her grandson, Stella didn\u2019t feel any softness toward him at that moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, you\u2019re up from your nap. Is there something you need?\u201d Angela said calmly, her face lighting up with a gentle smile-but the warmth didn\u2019t reach her eyes; they glinted coldly, like a blade.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella snorted. \u201cDon\u2019t call me that. I can\u2019t handle it. Which daughter-in-law would make such a racket while her mother-in-law is sleeping, and even take her nutritious drink? Angela, you\u2019ve completely abandoned any pretense!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry\u2026 I tried to be quiet, but I still disturbed you? But Pete\u2019s here, and you said you didn\u2019t want me to take him out. So we have to play at home,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for your drink\u2026 the kitchen had it ready, and no one told me it was yours. I didn\u2019t know, so I drank it. And since you\u2019ve made it clear this is my home, I can be a little casual, can\u2019t I? One bowl of nutritious drink-surely you\u2019re not that petty?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela\u2019s words flowed freely, calm and even-toned, yet each syllable seemed designed to provoke Stella\u2019s temper.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAngela, are you deliberately trying to get back at me? You just want the household in chaos, don\u2019t you?\u201d Stella glared at her, signaling the maid to pull Pete away, then stepped forward, closing the distance between herself and Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 216\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Angela had been terrified of Stella, like a mouse before a cat. But now, despite Stella\u2019s imposing presence, Angela showed no sign of backing down. Instead, she lifted the corners of her mouth, smirking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, you\u2019re mistaken. I\u2019m Trey\u2019s wife and your daughter-in-law. I only want what\u2019s best for the family, I only hope\u2026 for your well-being.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Angela could finish, her face was suddenly slapped sharply to the side!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 216 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 216 \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-26733","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\/26733","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=26733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26733\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
