Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216

Rubbing her temples, Stella muttered a low curse.

Just then, a maid hurried back, but she wasn’t holding the drink Stella had requested.

“Madam… I had the kitchen prepare a fresh bowl for you, but it’ll take a little longer.” The maid’s face looked pale and anxious.

“What do you mean? Didn’t I tell you to have it ready before my nap? Are you out of your mind?”

“It’s not that…” the maid said, feeling wronged. “I did prepare it, but Angela drank it.”

“What? That was mine! How dare she take it?” Stella’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her temper flared instantly, and without waiting for an explanation, she stormed off to confront Angela.

Her nerves were already frayed-ever since Angela had moved in, she couldn’t sleep at night. But Angela had no awareness at all, constantly causing trouble at home with the child, always in the way, even neglecting basic courtesy.

Stella had endured it for the sake of Pete, her grandson, and because the company was at a critical period. But this blatant disrespect, taking her nutritious drink? That was unforgivable.

Angela was in the living room, playing chase with Pete. Stella cleared her throat sharply. Angela immediately stopped, but Pete, caught up in the excitement, kept running around her.

Stella gave the maid a glance, and the maid quickly ran over to intercept Pete.

“Young Master, stop running. Your grandmother is here.”

Pete, terrified of Stella, instantly hid behind Angela, peeking out at her with fear. Even though he was her grandson, Stella didn’t feel any softness toward him at that moment.

“Mom, you’re up from your nap. Is there something you need?” Angela said calmly, her face lighting up with a gentle smile-but the warmth didn’t reach her eyes; they glinted coldly, like a blade.

Stella snorted. “Don’t call me that. I can’t handle it. Which daughter-in-law would make such a racket while her mother-in-law is sleeping, and even take her nutritious drink? Angela, you’ve completely abandoned any pretense!”

“Sorry… I tried to be quiet, but I still disturbed you? But Pete’s here, and you said you didn’t want me to take him out. So we have to play at home,

“As for your drink… the kitchen had it ready, and no one told me it was yours. I didn’t know, so I drank it. And since you’ve made it clear this is my home, I can be a little casual, can’t I? One bowl of nutritious drink-surely you’re not that petty?”

Angela’s words flowed freely, calm and even-toned, yet each syllable seemed designed to provoke Stella’s temper.

“Angela, are you deliberately trying to get back at me? You just want the household in chaos, don’t you?” Stella glared at her, signaling the maid to pull Pete away, then stepped forward, closing the distance between herself and Angela.

In the past, Angela had been terrified of Stella, like a mouse before a cat. But now, despite Stella’s imposing presence, Angela showed no sign of backing down. Instead, she lifted the corners of her mouth, smirking.

“Mom, you’re mistaken. I’m Trey’s wife and your daughter-in-law. I only want what’s best for the family, I only hope… for your well-being.”

Before Angela could finish, her face was suddenly slapped sharply to the side!
