If there\u2019s something to say, say it properly in the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella had been married into the Fox family for half her life and had always been sharp-tongued and unyielding. This was the first time she felt so wronged that tears welled in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The servants all lowered their heads. Angela lifted her chin in quiet triumph, looking at her mother-in-law, feeling as though years of pent-up resentment had finally found release.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, Grandma is right,\u201d Angela said gently. \u201cI wasn\u2019t asking for an apology, but you were so violent. If Pete sees that, he\u2019ll be frightened. For your grandson\u2019s sake, you should set an example\u2026 If you\u2019re wrong, you should admit it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her tone was soft and unhurried, yet every word landed like a sharp, invisible slap.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella nearly ground her teeth to dust, but under Lauren\u2019s clearing of her throat, she finally caved.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The two words slipped out quickly. She let out a cold laugh. \u201cAngela, you win.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, please don\u2019t say that,\u201d Angela replied mildly note. \u201cIf the family isn\u2019t harmonious, how could I ever be a winner?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Having forced Stella to bow her head, Angela had no intention of pushing further. She took Pete by the hand, gave Lauren a brief nod, and walked away without looking back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A dull pain stabbed Stella\u2019s chest. The moment Angela left, she turned to Lauren with a trembling voice. \u201cMom, you\u2019re killing me like this!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough. I know it hasn\u2019t been easy for you,\u201d Lauren said flatly, unwilling to deal with Stella after dealing with Angela. \u201cEndure it for now. When the company\u2019s IPO goes smoothly in a few months, we\u2019ll have Angela move out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that, she left in a hurry, taking the servants with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But once back in her room, Lauren lashed out, knocking over the tea a servant had just brought in. Seeing Angela\u2019s smug face had left her thoroughly displeased.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had thought that even without Khloe, the Fox family would be just fine. Who could have known Angela would turn out to be such a disaster?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lauren felt even worse when she thought of Khloe. In the past, whenever she clashed with Stella, Khloe always sensed her mood and found clever ways to cheer her up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No matter how poorly Stella handled things, as long as Khloe was in the house, everything stayed orderly and harmonious.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 218\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That evening, before Trey even made it home, he received a tearful call from his mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As soon as he arrived, he went straight to Stella\u2019s bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had collapsed that afternoon. A doctor had already come by and said it was a case of extreme anger attacking the heart, with signs of myocarditis. She needed rest and quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, why did you get so angry? Your health is what matters most,\u201d Trey said, seeing her lying pale and frail on the bed. His chest burned with frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When he first heard about the conflict between his mother and Angela, all he felt was helplessness. But seeing Stella in such a pitiful state-something he had never witnessed before-left him deeply unsettled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t care if I lived or died anyway\u2026 Raising a son like you was a mistake. I deserve this,\u201d Stella said bitterly, turning her head away as tears slid down the bridge of her nose the moment she saw him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey\u2019s heart ached. \u201cHow could I not care about you? Mom, I know this is all because I\u2019ve failed you as a son. Please don\u2019t be angry with me. Focus on getting better-tell me to do anything, and I will.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The instant Trey spoke, Stella cut in with her demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I want you to divorce Angela!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 218 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 218 \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-26739","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\/26739","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=26739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26739\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
