After finally securing even the smallest bit of standing in the household, he was now dumping every problem squarely on her shoulders!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m done talking. My head hurts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey pressed his fingers to his brow. He had no desire to argue with Angela anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Angela refused to let go. \u201cTrey, you\u2019re not allowed to leave tonight. If you do, I\u2019ll take Pete and leave tomorrow!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop making a scene.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFine. Then I\u2019ll go ask Dad to judge for us! Are we supposed to live apart for the rest of our lives as husband and wife?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The more Trey tried to de-escalate, the more aggressive Angela became. Hardened with confirmation, she turned and headed straight for Arthur.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Trey couldn\u2019t let her go to his father again. He grabbed her and pinned her against the wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His movements were uncharacteristically rough, slamming her waist hard enough to make it ache.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She frowned and glared at him. Reflected in Trey\u2019s eyes was the woman\u2019s pretty face-yet all he saw was something twisted and ugly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll stay.\u201d After a long moment, Trey finally said without any warmth. He had compromised.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But after saying that, he didn\u2019t touch Angela again. He took off his coat, went into the bedroom, grabbed a quilt, and spread it out on the sofa, clearly intending to sleep there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela felt as though her heart had been smashed to pieces. Watching her husband\u2019s cold indifference toward her, her pride couldn\u2019t bear it. She turned away in a rage and slammed the bedroom door behind her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the middle of the night, Trey\u2019s headache grew worse. Cold sweat soaked through him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He opened his eyes, hoarse, trying to call out for someone. When he spoke, the name that slipped from his lips by instinct was \u201cKhloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, elsewhere, Khloe was attending a business dinner for the Keller family project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had brought Charlotte along, planning to make a brief appearance, stay for a short while out of courtesy, and then find an excuse to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But as soon as the dinner began, Charlotte received a phone call and hurried out first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moments after Charlotte left the table, Ethan followed her out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 221\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a distant corner of the hallway, far from the private room, Charlotte nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, a figure approached from behind. She nearly cried out in alarm when a large hand clamped over her mouth, trapping her beneath his body.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo nervous-were you thinking about me?\u201d Ethan teased softly near her ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte\u2019s face flushed red, but her eyes burned with anger. \u201cEthan, what do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy so tense? I just thought it was a bit stuffy in there and called you out to get some air with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Using his injured hand, Ethan lifted Charlotte\u2019s delicate chin, deliberately flaunting the \u2018favor\u2019 he had shown\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease, just let me go,\u201d Charlotte said coldly, staring straight at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat kind of talk is that? I haven\u2019t done anything to you. Didn\u2019t you enjoy yourself last night too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan tilted his head and murmured the words. In an instant, goosebumps rose all over Charlotte\u2019s body-along with a crushing wave of shame.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The day before, after Ethan had rescued Charlotte, his hand had been bleeding badly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had wanted to take him to the hospital to get it treated, but he refused no matter what, insisting that she handle it personally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He even claimed he felt terribly unwell, saying that if he went to the hospital for tests and was admitted, it would only cost Charlotte even more money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Believing he was deliberately making things difficult to vent his frustration, Charlotte brought him back to her place to treat his injury, hoping to put the matter to rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But had she known things would turn out like this\u2026 no matter how much money she paid, no matter how Ethan threatened or coerced her, she would never have agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 221 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By
