Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336

“Angela! Get out of here!”

Stella had finally had enough. Seeing her daughter being bullied, she snapped at Angela.

Trey tried to pull Angela away, but she refused to budge. She spoke up defiantly, “It’s your daughter who started this today. I was just trying to check on Dad out of kindness. If anyone should leave, it’s her!”

“Angela!” Trey’s patience snapped. “Enough! Dad is still here. Even if you’re upset, can’t you just hold it in?”

“Why should I be the one to hold it in…” Angela refused to yield.

“Let go of me!”

Alicia still wanted to strike back, and she almost clashed with her husband, Stanley, who was trying to restrain her.

Stanley, knowing his wife’s impulsive nature, feared the scene would escalate and embarrass them all, so he held her firmly and led her out.

Once one side had left, Trey finally released his grip, though his glare remained sharp-a silent warning.

Angela’s emotions were still raw, but she was more controlled than Alicia. She quickly composed herself, no longer speaking. She placed the items she had brought aside and softly greeted Arthur. “Dad, don’t worry. Trey and I are here. You just focus on resting and getting better.”

Arthur’s eyes flickered, and his breathing grew heavier. He seemed to want to say something, but his mouth refused to form words.

Though his consciousness was clear, his hand had been trembling on the bedside moments earlier when Alicia and Angela almost came to blows. Just seeing him now, his condition plain on his face, it was obvious he was

still weak.

Angela’s words were sincere, yet in the current situation, they carried an almost ironic weight.

“Our family is cursed,” muttered Lauren, letting out a heavy sigh.

She couldn’t bear it any longer. With that, she allowed herself to be guided out of the room.

As she passed Trey, her eyes flicked coldly toward him. He dared not meet her gaze and immediately lowered his head,

But Lauren was old and had endured too many upheavals in the family. She had barely eaten or slept these past few days, sustaining herself only with medication. She had visibly lost weight and looked utterly haggard. Seeing her own son lying weaker than herself, she couldn’t help but fear that her final days might be lonely and bleak.

Cursed family, unfilial children-such misfortune!

Stella, usually at odds with Lauren, saw that even the old woman’s customary authority had vanished. Her heart sank. Was their family on the brink of collapse?

Once Lauren and Alicia left, the room fell silent.

Stella, who bore no affection for Angela, sat coldly to the side.

Trey glanced at Angela, silently urging her to ease the tension and comfort his mother.

But Angela ignored him. She sat down, quietly peeling an apple.

Stella assumed Angela was cutting it for her or Arthur, but to her surprise, Angela chopped the fruit into small pieces and ate them herself.
