Chapter 107
Angela had been furious back in the luxury store, Blood seemed to rush backward through her veins, her legs were weak, and darkness crept at the edges of her vision.
But fainting? That was partly intentional.
Seeing Trey groveling to coax Khloe calmed her in no way. She could hardly bear it she felt like dying right there,
Fortunately, Trey’s first concern, even in that moment, was still her, Seeing her collapse, he immediately abandoned Khloe and rushed her to the hospital.
He stayed by her side as the doctors prescribed medication, lingering until she felt stable enough to go home. Once they reached home, he personally cooked for her,
“Trey… Khloe is simply unbearable. You saw today-how she treated me, and how she treated you!” Angela’s voice was thick with frustration. “Maybe… we should just be honest about everything, After all, we have a son together. No matter how much your parents hate me, they’ll have to accept it, right?”
Just as Trey blew on the seafood porridge to cool it, ready to feed her, Angela grabbed his arm, her eyes glistening with tears.
Seeing her so upset, he felt a pang of guilt. But every word she spoke only made his dilemma worse.
“Angela, you know my parents’ temper. Even if they could accept everything we’ve done… what about the company? I can’t have the family home in flames and the company suffer too.”
Angela knew he wouldn’t agree to her suggestion, yet she couldn’t swallow her anger. She pushed the bowl of porridge away.
“If Khloe goes back to the company, your whole family will be at her mercy. What hope do I even have?”
“She won’t. When she returns, I’ll fix things with her slowly.”
Thinking of Khloe, Trey’s chest tightened with frustration. He hadn’t confronted Khloe today for Angela’s sake. When he called her later to explain, she had only coldly told him to take care of Angela first-simultaneously jealous and completely indifferent.
“You’ll fix things with her slowly? What about me?”
Angela suddenly felt a stranger in the man before her. Ten years… she had given everything for Trey. And now, in front of her, he was ready to appease another woman!
“I’m doing this for the company’s IPO. Once it goes public, as my legal wife, you’ll benefit the most. You already have more than Khloe. Why are you choosing this moment to make things difficult?”
Trey’s patience for comforting her snapped. He set down the porridge bowl and stood,
“Trey!” Angela called after him, but he didn’t turn. In frustration and rage, she slammed the bowl to the floor.
Hot porridge splattered everywhere; shards of the bowl scattered, cutting across Trey’s arm and drawing blood.
He snapped. “You’ve completely lost your mind! Calm yourself. We’re not speaking for now-don’t contact me!”
With that, Trey slammed the door and left. Even when Angela chased him downstairs, he drove off, leaving her completely broken.
She cried until she couldn’t breathe, calling him incessantly through the night-but he didn’t pick up.

This was the first time in their entire relationship that Trey had subjected her to cold violence.
They had once promised that no matter how much they argued, it would never last longer than an hour. If she was upset, he would appear immediately. No matter how angry, he would always answer her calls.
But now… everything had changed.
The next evening, Khloe, meticulously dressed, arrived early at the private restaurant they had booked.
