Stella had called Trey multiple times the previous night, but he hadn’t answered. By morning, when he finally arrived at the house, she guessed he must have already seen Angela.

Her expression was far from pleasant as she led him straight to the reception room.

“What are you planning to do about Angela?” Stella didn’t waste words-she asked Trey directly.

“I’ve already sent her away. As for the online incident, I’ll hire a lawyer for her and cover the compensation,” Trey replied calmly.

“She committed a crime! Are you protecting her to drag the Fox family down with you?” Stella’s fury flared. She was so outraged that she nearly shouted. “Can’t you see what she really is after what she’s done?”

“Mom, given how things have turned out, we also bear some responsibility. If you hadn’t pushed her so far or threatened Pete, she wouldn’t have…” Trey’s words were cut off by a sharp slap across the face from Stella.

Her face flushed with anger. “Are you really prepared to sever ties with us? If you are, then go find that woman now!”

“Why the shouting so early in the morning…”

Suddenly, the frail voice of Lauren came from the doorway.

Supported by a servant, the elderly lady slowly entered the reception room. She didn’t look at Trey or Stella, instead settling directly onto the main sofa. A thin shadow seemed to lie across her face, yet she was visibly calmer than Stella.

“Grandma,” Trey immediately greeted respectfully.

She glanced at him and asked plainly, “You sent Angela away?”

She had already overheard most of their conversation on entering. Angela’s desperate actions didn’t surprise her- after all, she had gambled and failed, turning herself into a joke. As long as Trey distanced himself from Angela, the Fox family would remain unaffected.

The bigger issue, however, was Khloe. Angela’s actions were all about Trey, and Khloe was clever-she would certainly notice something.

Trey nodded but said nothing. Lauren continued, “What are you planning to tell Khloe?”

“I haven’t decided yet,” Trey admitted honestly.

“What’s there to explain? Khloe got restless first, which allowed Angela to take advantage. Even if the article isn’t completely true, there’s bound to be some exaggeration, right? Khloe’s managed so many projects over the years –she must know how to charm people, otherwise it wouldn’t add up.”

Stella chimed in, though somewhat grudgingly. This time, however, Lauren didn’t stop her.

Trey frowned. “Mom, Khloe isn’t like that. I know her better than anyone.”

“You know her? Then explain-what’s she trying to do now by running away from home? Divorce you?”

Trey was left speechless.

Lauren let out a cold laugh. “Stop hiding things from me. Angela stayed at this house before, didn’t she?”
