During the conversation, almost every topic somehow revolved around Trey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the evening, everyone came to the same conclusion: Angela was likely trying to pursue Trey. They had been nothing more than living questionnaires.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The two of them never went further, and no one ever heard news of them being together. Later, when Trey started dating Khloe, Angela became the unchallenged class adviser, and the whole affair faded into a whispered secret.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, Trey wasn\u2019t listening to the man. He had no desire to talk; dejected, he took a few slow steps, intent on going back to rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just then, another classmate\u2019s wife murmured softly behind him, \u201cWhy should a woman bear all the consequences for a man\u2019s mistake? If he hadn\u2019t responded to Angela\u2019s advances, none of this would have happened.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Immediately, her husband snapped at her to be quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome on, it\u2019s different when the other person is intentionally playing you,\u201d a man retorted with a faint scoff, clearly unconvinced.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHuh? Playing me?\u201d Trey froze mid-step and spun around to stare at him. \u201cAre you saying Angela\u2026 set me up?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The man hesitated, then gave a slow nod. \u201cYeah. Back then, she was constantly digging for information about you. You think she needed to go to all that trouble? If she really just wanted to know something, she could\u2019ve asked you straight up. All that sneaking around, prying into your life\u2026 it was to manipulate you, to make you fall for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His words resonated among the men, immediately earning nods and murmurs of agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey\u2019s gaze stayed fixed, icy and sharp. \u201cWhat exactly did she pry into?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t remember everything\u2026\u201d the man replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas it about someone I was looking for?\u201d Trey\u2019s entire body went cold. He clenched his teeth, eyes reddening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everyone around sensed the shift and fell silent. Even Alicia stiffened, her eyes flicking nervously as she held her breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh! Right!\u201d the man said, straining to recall. \u201cYes! You used to tell your friends about when you were a kid\u2026 in the mountains\u2026 and someone saved you, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was obsessed with that story,\u201d the man continued, \u201casking about every tiny detail. I heard she\u2019s\u2026 perverse. She demanded the exact words people used when telling her about it. She wanted every detail about the person who saved you, down to the tiniest features. She kept asking and asking\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before he could finish, Trey swayed unsteadily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 378\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alicia\u2019s hands shot out, steadying him. \u201cTrey!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey\u2019s eyes went completely blank for a moment before he finally snapped back to reality. Blood pounded in his head, swelling like it would burst. With a sudden, violent motion, he pushed Alicia aside and yanked the man in front of him by the collar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat you\u2019re saying\u2026 it\u2019s true?\u201d he demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt-it\u2019s true!\u201d the man stammered, growing nervous under Trey\u2019s glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trey\u2019s lips parted slightly. His throat burned, parched and raw. The cold air he inhaled felt like it could freeze inside him, stabbing his nerves and flesh as it went down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If what this guy said was true, then there was only one possibility\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela was not the person he had been searching for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their meeting, their recognition, had seemed like fate itself. Angela had really been on that mountain trip, and the small red birthmark behind her ear matched exactly what he remembered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For years, Trey had never doubted her. But over time\u2026 he had started to sense something was off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 378 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 378 \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-26899","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\/26899","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=26899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26899\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
