Chapter 341
Seeing Trey remain silent, Angela panicked. “Are you really going to divorce me?”
“The family… needs that fund,” Trey said, his throat tight. His voice was low and restrained, and he didn’t dare meet her eyes.
Tears slid down Angela’s face, but she laughed bitterly. “Is it for the fund… or for Khloe?”
She knew well enough that Trey had an eye for both. The fund and Khloe-he probably wanted them both. Even if he said now that he wouldn’t divorce her, she couldn’t believe it. He was too far gone to even bother lying
anymore.
“I’m sorry,” Trey said, closing his eyes briefly before speaking in a heavy tone.
Ever since that day he had gone to beg Khloe, there had been no turning back.
“I’ll compensate you. Anything you want, I’ll give it to you.”
“Compensate?” Angela snorted coldly, the last trace of light in her eyes gone.
Was it true that the harder one tried to hold on to something, the more it slipped away? Or was this simply her punishment?
Her mind flashed back to the year she turned twenty.
While studying abroad, she had run up huge debts out of vanity. Too ashamed to tell her parents, she had no choice but to work in nightclubs. Being the only female college student there, she was introduced to a wealthy
older man.
At first, Angela only accompanied him for drinks. She was naïve and unprepared for his relentless attention and lavish generosity. Soon, the man told her to set a price, hinting this would be his last visit.
Angela understood what he meant, and after a storm of internal struggle, she had given in.
But fate had a cruel sense of humor.
Not long after, she met Trey. She was six years his senior, yet he carried the energy and charm of youth, and she fell helplessly for him.
Raised indulged and pampered, she always wanted what she couldn’t have. Trey was handsome and cultured on the outside, selfish and narcissistic at his core. Knowing he was no ideal man didn’t stop her from developing an irresistible desire to conquer him.
She did everything she could to be with him-learning his preferences, bending the truth, even becoming the shadow he couldn’t see within himself.
Finally, Trey accepted her. They promised to marry once he graduated.
Then, she saw Trey’s grandfather, the same gentleman she should never have met again after that night at the
club.
He approached Angela privately, asking her again to set a price, to keep the secret, and to stay away from Trey.
