Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

“Alright, I forgive you. Just tell me-whatever it is, I’ll face it with you.”

Trey pressed down the frustration gnawing at his chest. Seeing Angela’s panic-stricken face, he finally helped her to sit down beside him. He handed her tissues to wipe her tear-streaked cheeks and placed a warm cup of water into her hands.

The gentleness in his demeanor finally eased Angela a little. She sniffled and hesitated, then slowly told him everything that had happened with Brandon.

The moment Trey heard it, all warmth vanished from his eyes. His face went cold, and he abruptly stood. “What did you say? You… you instructed someone to smear Khloe?”

“Brandon was caught… I’m afraid the police will trace it back to me… then I’d be finished…”

Angela broke down again, panic overtaking her. She dropped to her knees, clutching Trey’s leg as if it were the only lifeline left.

“Trey, please… help me think of a way. I had no choice! I thought… if she was disgraced, we could be together without her in the way…”

Trey’s temper flared-he wanted to scold her fiercely-but seeing her in such tears, he forced himself to hold back. Deep down, he knew she had acted for them.

“If anyone in the family finds out… you’ll really be finished.” He closed his eyes and muttered, feeling a familiar headache press down.

Angela’s back went cold. She knew he was right-if the Fox family discovered this, they’d stop at nothing to have her thrown in jail.

“Trey… Pete is still so young. If his mother goes to prison, how will he even grow up? Ten years we’ve walked together. I’ve always followed your lead. My love for you is no less than Khloe’s… I only did this because I love you so much, I lost my judgment for a moment!”

Angela was desperate, clinging to him, her words dripping with raw emotion. Even Trey’s heart ached at her confessions.

He thought for a moment, then held her close, letting her calm for a while before immediately calling his lawyer. He instructed that Brandon be bailed out immediately. No matter the cost, as long as Brandon didn’t implicate Angela, Trey would smooth things over legally, mitigating any consequences.

“Don’t worry. My lawyer knows exactly what to do. Brandon isn’t from a wealthy family. Since you could bribe him to write fake news, this will be manageable.”

Seeing Trey take action, Angela’s tension eased. She nodded, still tearful, burying herself in his arms.

But Trey’s headache had only just begun. He pressed on his temples, trying to relieve the pounding. One misfortune followed another, leaving him without a single night of rest.

When he was unwell before, Khloe would always notice first. She’d prepare his medicine, insist he let go of everything, and rest early. She’d quietly manage meetings and work, keeping a watchful eye on him. If she were here now… how different things would be.

Khloe returned home early today, finishing her shower around eight o’clock. She had stopped by the supermarket
