I\u2019m sorry\u2026 I\u2019ve wronged you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey clenched his teeth. The humiliation burned, but this was no longer the time for pride. His resentment and unwillingness had long surpassed his self-respect. He had to keep Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not just for himself-but for the Fox Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If Khloe revealed everything, what would become of his reputation? Of Angela\u2019s? Of the Fox family\u2019s name?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company was at a critical stage before going public. No matter what, they had to survive this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even if it meant\u2026 divorcing Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did have feelings for Angela in the past. I was momentarily possessed, blinded, and made a terrible mistake\u2026 \u201cHis voice grew hoarse. \u201cBut these past years, my feelings for you were real. Without realizing it, I discovered you had become irreplaceable to me\u2026 Khloe, please forgive me. No matter what you ask of me, I\u2019ll make it right. I\u2019m willing to do anything\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Every word was bitten out with force, his eyes glistening with tears, as if he were truly repentant to the core.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe had long grown tired of his performance. The more sincere he sounded, the more absurd it felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When she laughed, Trey felt as if he\u2019d been slapped. Embarrassment and frustration surged together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, can\u2019t you give me one more chance for the sake of all those years we shared? If I didn\u2019t truly care about you, I wouldn\u2019t beg like this. Do you really think life will be easier once you leave the Fox family? You\u2019re a woman with no background, no backing-what kind of man better than me would genuinely treat you well?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his panic, he revealed his true thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that he couldn\u2019t even keep up the act anymore, Khloe let out a cold laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey, even if every man in this world were dead, I still wouldn\u2019t get back together with you. Not in this lifetime. Not in the next. Not in the one after that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her words sounded light, but to Trey, they were vicious beyond measure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had never imagined Khloe could hate him this deeply, as if there had never been any love between them at all. He had been erased completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, stop pretending to be strong! I know you\u2019ve been badly hurt, but do you think saying these cruel things can erase our past?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 243\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey suddenly stood up-only to be kicked hard in the knee by the sharp tip of Khloe\u2019s high heel. Caught off guard, he crashed back down, half-kneeling on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe immediately bent down and seized his face, her grip merciless, her gaze dripping with contempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey, if you don\u2019t want your affair with Angela exposed to all of Goldmont City, I advise you to transfer the company shares that belong to me-principal and interest included-into my name within three days. This is the price you owe for deceiving me all these years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey hadn\u2019t expected Khloe to abandon emotion entirely. Panic surged. He shoved her away and tried to keep arguing-until the recording she played froze him in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At some point, she had recorded his kneeling confession.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShould I send this to Angela,\u201d Khloe asked softly, smiling, \u201cor just drop it straight into the group chat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She raised her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The screen was already on her contacts list-Select All highlighted. One tap was all it would take.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey stopped instantly, not daring to move another inch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe\u2026 you weren\u2019t like this before. Let\u2019s stop hurting each other. I know you\u2019re hurting, but so am I. These\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>years of deceiving you, I was anxious and tormented as well. And what hurts me the most is that I\u2019ve long since\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 243 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 243 \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-26764","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\/26764","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=26764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26764\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
