Khloe, please execute the decision immediately!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBastards! You\u2026 ungrateful, treacherous bastards!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arthur shook with rage, pointing a trembling finger at them. Before he could finish, a violent fit of coughing overtook him. His face went from red to a sickly blue, and he nearly collapsed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey lunged forward to steady him, his own face ashen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe\u2026 after all our years, you\u2019re going to be this ruthless? You think hurting me will make you happy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey\u2026 now you see, don\u2019t you? The woman you trusted\u2026 the one you placed your whole heart in\u2026 this is how she treats you.

Within moments, several guards had surrounded Trey and Arthur, hesitating briefly but resolute.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease leave immediately. If not, we\u2019ll have no choice but to call the police.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet out of my way!\u201d Arthur glared at Khloe, wrenching his hand free from Trey\u2019s support. Trembling, he forced himself to walk out. A lifetime of dominance in business had never subjected him to such humiliation. His throat tasted of blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey felt every ounce of his strength drain away. He stared at Khloe, hatred and disbelief warring in his chest, but beneath it all, memories of their past together clawed at his heart, pain stabbing him mercilessly. How could she-so coldly-cut him off?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had promised him once, back when they were together, that no matter what happened, she would stay by his side. Yet now, no matter how he searched her face, she did not give him a single glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No sooner had they been forcibly escorted from the company than Arthur collapsed, unable to hold himself up. Trey rushed forward, catching Arthur before he hit the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad\u2026 Dad!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An hour later, Arthur\u2019s emergency treatment concluded, and he was moved to the intensive care unit. Normally prone to high blood pressure, the violent surge of anger had triggered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Though the doctors acted quickly, his prognosis was grim.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even if he survived, he would likely never move freely again-his remaining years confined to a bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey stood outside the ICU, head bowed, lips pale, eyes bloodshot. His fists dug into his palms, nails biting deep into the flesh, drawing blood without even noticing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If he hadn\u2019t been so indecisive\u2026 his father wouldn\u2019t be like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2026 this was all Khloe\u2019s fault.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had never made a mistake this catastrophic.

And now\u2026 she had the audacity to betray him, to trample over his love and trust?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The weight of grief, humiliation, and rage pressed down on him like a living thing, suffocating.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His phone kept vibrating, flashing with calls from friends and acquaintances alike-but he ignored every one of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Outside, the world had turned upside down: scandal, the company\u2019s takeover, his father\u2019s critical condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was finished. The Fox family\u2019s legacy, shattered. In Goldmont City\u2019s corporate circles, they had become nothing but a complete joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He slid down the wall, powerless, until he was seated on the floor, hands tangled in his hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela, having just returned from shopping, froze when she saw him slumped outside the ICU. Her chest clenched, a sharp pang of fear and worry gripping her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 278 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 278 \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-26799","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\/26799","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=26799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26799\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
