Only when the Fox family rose to power again could they make Khloe see exactly what she was dealing with. How dare Khloe think she could swindle the Fox family\u2019s assets and rest easy?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s phone was unreachable, but Alicia could still get through to Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Alicia got home, she immediately dialed Angela\u2019s number. She kept calling relentlessly until finally, the other end picked up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlicia, you better have a good reason for this,\u201d came Angela\u2019s voice, laced with restrained anger, crisp in Alicia\u2019s ear the moment the call connected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alicia snorted coldly. \u201cI do have a reason to call you. But even if I didn\u2019t, you\u2019re still the Fox family\u2019s daughter-in -law. You answer when I call, and your attitude better be polite.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela\u2019s end sounded noisy, as though someone else was around, but Alicia didn\u2019t care. Just hearing Angela\u2019s displeasure made her feel a little vindicated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela clenched her teeth to stop herself from hanging up. \u201cWhat exactly do you want? Say it quickly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019d been working nonstop for the past two days, back-to-back meetings. She had expected Trey to panic and call her constantly-but he had only sent one phone call and a few messages urging her to divorce, and then nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last night, she\u2019d even heard from Kirsten that Trey wasn\u2019t even picking up Kirsten\u2019s calls anymore. He was determined to go through with this divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey got beaten up at a bar last night, and there\u2019s no one taking care of him. Where are you? Go home and take care of him!\u201d Alicia demanded, her voice commanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t know that Angela and Trey were on the verge of divorce. But hearing that Trey had been attacked- and remembering what people had said about Angela seducing him in the first place-made her blood boil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A woman six years older than her brother, ignoring the elders\u2019 warnings, secretly marrying him and having a child\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How shameless, how utterly unprincipled!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the Fox family in this mess, both Khloe and Angela were each half to blame.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey got beaten up? How did that happen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even Angela\u2019s heart twinged a little at the thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re his wife, and you\u2019re asking me?\u201d Alicia shot back, furious. \u201cI was the one who went to the hospital to pick him up last night. Where the hell were you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The more Alicia spoke, the angrier she got.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela\u2019s patience snapped. \u201cI\u2019m out of town, it\u2019s inconvenient. If you\u2019re free, then take care of him yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 38\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before Alicia could even respond, the call ended.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAngela!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alicia cursed loudly, redialing immediately-only for the call to be rejected. After that, Angela\u2019s number was completely unreachable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela set her phone down and returned to her seat. The tension in her brow melted away. A small, knowing smile tugged at her lips as she murmured to the meeting room attendees, \u201cSorry about that. Let\u2019s continue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the meeting ended, Angela finally relaxed a little. She thought about Trey\u2019s injury and hesitated before sending him a message: [Alicia called me. What happened last night?]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But she immediately retracted it. Never mind-he\u2019d survive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Back in her private office, Angela opened the door and immediately saw the company\u2019s vice chairman, Barney\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lemont.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was in his thirties, tall and well-built, with a sun-kissed complexion radiating masculinity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet unlike his imposing appearance, his demeanor was refined and gentle. Even in his high-ranking position, there was no trace of arrogance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela had always had a good impression of Barney-not only because he recognized her talent, but also because he had fought for every opportunity and benefit that allowed her to join the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 381 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 381 \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-26902","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\/26902","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=26902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26902\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
