Chapter 337
“All the work here is already done by the nurses. What else do you want me to do?”
Angela’s voice was soft, but there wasn’t a trace of submission. She knew Stella was looking for a fight. Calmly, she picked up the apple again. “Mom, do you want some?”
Stella’s anger surged, but she lacked the energy to argue further. She took a deep breath and muttered, “People are never satisfied. Only when you have something to compare can you tell what’s truly good and what’s worthless.”
Her words weren’t directed at anyone in particular, but the implication cut deep.
Angela instantly bristled. She shot up from her seat. “What do you mean by that? You think Khloe is better? Are you insulting me?”
“I didn’t say anything,” Stella snorted.
“Better? If Khloe is so great, would the family be in this mess? Trey and the family treated her well-did she leave any leeway when she took revenge? Such a cunning, ruthless woman-and you think she’s good?”
Angela hated it more than anything when anyone said Khloe was “good.” She had suffered so much because of Khloe. She had given everything for the Fox family and for Trey, yet now she was being compared to her!
Trey’s expression darkened. He grabbed Angela with surprising strength. Before she could react, he was dragging her out of the hospital room.
“Trey!”

Tears welled up in Angela’s eyes. She hadn’t meant to provoke Stella, but nobody was born to be a punching bag. Was it fair that only his family got to shout and berate, while she wasn’t even allowed to have feelings?
Besides, it was Khloe who caused all this trouble for the family-how could it be blamed on her?
“I don’t have the energy to argue with you now. If you can’t accept it, then never set foot in our family home again. I won’t force you.”
Trey didn’t look back, his words icy, before striding away.
Angela’s temper flared further as she remembered the way Trey had pleaded with Khloe,
“So you really don’t want to be with me anymore! Your heart belongs only to Khloe! After everything she’s done to you, are you just naturally a masochist?”
Angela lost all restraint, not caring to spare him any dignity.
Trey felt the sting. Perhaps she was right. Maybe he was being foolish. When he had been with Khloe, he’d never

imagined a day like this-a day when he couldn’t let her go.
