Chapter 158
“Are you even a man, Trey?!”

Angela had truly lost control this time. She cried and screamed, slapping Trey hard across the face.
He didn’t dodge. He let her hit him, curse him, and vent her fury without resistance.
Only when she was completely exhausted did he finally release her wrist.
“Do you really think that if we tell them the truth, we’ll be able to be together?” he said.
“Grandma holds Grandpa’s will. From that moment on, everything in the Fox family would have nothing to do with us. I’d have nothing. How would I take care of you and Pete then?
“And if Khloe were to find out about all of this, our relationship would become a public scandal. Do you think we’d still have any place to stand in Goldmont in the future?”
Trey’s words were brutally realistic. Each sentence pierced Angela’s heart like an ice spike.
She had already cut ties with her own family. If Trey were cast out by the Fox family as well, how would the two of them possibly raise Pete?
Seeing Angela finally fall silent, Trey rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath.
“I don’t want this to blow up any further, Angela.”
“Who sent that DNA report?” Angela suddenly asked, her eyes darkening as if she’d thought of something.
Trey shook his head. “I don’t know. But whoever knows about us is probably someone we know. For now, don’t contact any of your old friends. That includes Kirsten.”
“You’re suspecting my friends?” Angela stared at him in disbelief. “The person you should be suspecting most is Khloe!”
At the mention of Khloe’s name, Trey felt as if he’d been struck by electricity. He spoke at once. “It absolutely can’t be Khloe!”
“Why not?” Angela shot back. “Think about it carefully. Hasn’t her attitude toward you been strange lately? Ever since I moved into your place, she stopped caring about the company, our relationship was discovered by your mother, and now even Pete…”
The more Angela spoke, the more something felt wrong.
A woman’s intuition told her that all of this had to be connected to Khloe.
“You’re just too tense,” Trey said flatly.
Angela’s argument was forceful, but he dismissed it entirely.
If Khloe really knew about them, how could she stay so calm-no confrontation, no demands for an explanation?
His marriage to Khloe was a sham. If she left, she’d walk away with nothing.
“Trey, it’s Khloe! She’s getting revenge on us!”
Angela’s baseless accusation only irritated him. He cut her off coldly. “Didn’t you want to study abroad? Over the next couple of days, look into schools. I’ll cover all the expenses.”

“Trey…”
Angela tried to keep talking, but after dropping those words, Trey stood up and left, giving her no room for discussion at all.
She grabbed a glass and hurled it at the front door, screaming hysterically as if she’d gone mad.
Why wouldn’t he believe her? Why did she always have to bear everything alone?
Everyone in the Fox family deserved to die-and Khloe most of all!
Just as Angela was on the verge of exploding, the vibration of her phone pulled her back to her senses.
