“Grandma, please let me explain. I only met up with Angela for work. Recently, Khloe hasn’t been at the company, and many projects had no one in charge. Angela happened to have the right connections to help out. Dad knows this too. Last night, I met Angela purely for work reasons. She fell ill, so I took her to the hospital…”

Trey quickly composed himself, his face calm and expression neutral as he explained. His gaze briefly swept over Stella.

Stella knew better than to lose her temper now.

Lauren still held control over a portion of the family’s assets. It was wiser to calm her first, so Stella stepped in to help Trey smooth things over:

“Mom… I already knew about this. And I’ve already scolded Trey! He could have asked anyone for help, but of all people, he picked Angela! But you’ve really misunderstood-there are no problems between Trey and Khloe. There’s no way he’d entangle himself with Angela. It’s all for the company.”

“You’re saying… Arthur knows about this too?” Lauren took a deep breath, her face nearly flushing again.

Angela suddenly reappearing at Trey’s side-such a huge matter-and the entire family had conspired to hide it from her?

Stella had always distrusted Angela. Trey was easily swayed by women. Only Arthur, she trusted. And now, even he

“Grandma, Dad also scolded me. I was foolish to let Angela handle company matters, but now, she’s already left the company,” Trey quickly explained, stepping forward to support Lauren, bowing his head and accepting her scolding.

Seeing Trey’s attitude, Lauren’s expression softened slightly, though she still thumped his shoulder heavily.

“Trey, you’ve really disappointed me! I’ve been wondering why Khloe moved out… could it be because she discovered your past with Angela?”

“Grandma, don’t worry. Khloe doesn’t know about Angela,” Trey said immediately.

“Of course she doesn’t! She may seem gentle, but her temper is fierce. If she knew about this, she’d storm off and divorce you!”

Stella nodded in agreement, secretly rolling her eyes at Khloe’s name. She had once thought Khloe obedient and easy to manage, but now, spoiled by Trey, she was probably much more difficult to handle.

Only then did Lauren let out a quiet sigh of relief. She paused a moment before saying, “Bring me my phone. I’ll call Khloe.”

“Grandma…” Trey looked at her worriedly, as if fearing she might side with Khloe and say something more.

“Hurry!” Lauren snapped, impatient. “Even if this isn’t about Angela, do you really plan to leave your wife upset and expect her to come back on her own?”

Trey’s eyes lit with a small smile. Understanding that his grandmother was thinking of him, he quickly handed her the phone. The thought of Khloe returning home filled him with a quiet, indescribable joy.

Stella pursed her lips. In her view, Lauren’s gesture was unnecessary. If Khloe wanted to move out, let her. She’d eventually have to come back to beg Trey, just like she had once clung to the Fox family to secure her marriage. Stella didn’t believe Khloe could ever give up such a hard-won marriage.
