The moment the call connected, Alicia\u2019s sobs came through the line. Angela was shocked by the news of Lauren\u2019s death, yet after confirming it, the corners of her mouth couldn\u2019t help but lift. She almost laughed out loud. That old hag-always wishing for her and Trey to divorce-had finally gotten her retribution. Suppressing her excitement, Angela questioned Alicia in detail about the situation. Following Stanley\u2019s instructions, Alicia only said Lauren had suffered sudden heart failure.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t mention Khloe at all. Khloe\u2019s matter would be better discussed face-to-face after Angela returned. Angela asked about the family\u2019s condition, and Alicia patiently answered every question. After hanging up, Angela began to feel something was off. \u2014- Usually, Alicia treated her like an enemy. Why was she being so polite today? She even kept urging her to go back and see Trey, saying her brother must need her company now. Had the family pillar finally collapsed, forcing them to face reality? No matter what, this news from Alicia had come at just the right time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She and Trey were in the cooling-off period before divorce- exactly when they needed to repair their relationship. With Lauren gone, the biggest obstacle was removed. It was a perfect opportunity. Angela acted at once. She booked a flight, took Pete out of her small apartment, and sent him to her parents\u2019 home She was busy with work and about to go on a business trip, so her parents didn\u2019t question it. But Pete couldn\u2019t bear to part with her. He cried and insisted on going with her. As if bound by some father-son intuition, he suddenly kept calling out for his dad. Angela\u2019s heart sank.<\/p>\n<p>She could only coax him gently, telling him \u2014- his father would come home to see him very soon. For her son\u2019s sake, she had to reconcile with Trey-no matter what. After arranging everything, the last step was asking for leave. On her way back, Angela called Barney. Barney was out entertaining clients. Hearing that Angela was driving, he asked her to pick him up so they could talk about her leave in person. Picking up the boss was never convenient, but Angela couldn\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n<p>She had already prepared herself to wait outside the restaurant, but to her surprise, Barney was already standing at the entrance when she arrived. As soon as he got into the car, Angela handed him the tea she had prepared. \u201cHere, have some tea to sober up.\u201d \u201cThank you. | didn\u2019t drink much.\u201d Barney was clearly pleased by her thoughtfulness. He smiled. Then he asked, \u201cWhy the sudden rush to take leave? Did something happen?\u201d \u201cYes. I need to go back to Goldmont to handle something. It\u2019s urgent, and I\u2019m not sure how long it will take.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll \u2014- work remotely and won\u2019t delay anything,\u201d Angela answered at once Barney frowned. \u201cSomething happened at home?\u201d \u201cYes. My grandmother passed away.\u201d Angela hadn\u2019t wanted to share too much about her private life, but she worried he might form the wrong impression, so she told him the truth. \u201cYou mean your ex-husband\u2019s grandmother?\u201d Barney\u2019s question startled her. Only then did she realize he already knew about her divorce. That day, she had drunk too much at Kirsten\u2019s bar, and Barney had gone to pick her up. Afterward, Angela and Kirsten had quarreled.<\/p>\n<p>Barney was her boss, and Kirsten had told him many things she shouldn\u2019t have. Still, Kirsten had shown some restraint-she had only mentioned that Angela and Trey were divorcing, attributing it to family opposition and the man\u2019s change of heart and betrayal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 463 \u2013 \u2014- Chapter 463 \u201cAlicia, you\u2019re saying Lauren has passed away\u2026is [&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":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","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-30037","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\/30037","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=30037"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30042,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30037\/revisions\/30042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
