Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383

“O-Oh… Barney, you’re being far too generous,” Angela stammered, caught off guard.

“It’s alright. I’ll speak with your parents myself. You’re their daughter. Now that you’re back, there’s nothing we can’t talk through calmly.”

Barney’s words brought a faint blush to Angela’s cheeks. From the sound of it, he already knew about the friction between her and her parents.

“You know… about my family situation?”

Barney neither confirmed nor denied it. “A background check is standard procedure. I only went through the motions and had a brief chat with your parents. They didn’t say much-just that you were young and impulsive, that you’d been away from home for many years, and that I should think carefully before letting you join the company.”

Family scandals were not something Angela’s parents would ever broadcast. Naturally, they wouldn’t go around airing their daughter’s affairs.

But no matter how carefully they worded things, their stance was unmistakable.

Over the years, Angela’s decisiveness-bordering on ruthlessness-had long since chilled their hearts. Even though they had accepted her and Pete after she returned seeking reconciliation, they still felt the need to stay guarded.

They felt Angela had only come back now because the Fox family had mistreated her. Who was to say she wouldn’t reconcile with them again in a few days and treat her own parents like fools?

Being made fools of was one thing. But if it implicated the company, that was a responsibility they couldn’t afford to bear.

Hearing what her parents had said to Barney, a trace of coldness flickered in Angela’s eyes.

She smiled lightly. “My parents have always been strict with me. I’m sorry for troubling you.”

“Every family has its own unspoken struggles,” Barney said, looking at her and sighing softly. “If I were you, I’d cherish the time you still have with your parents.”

He had lost his mother at the age of six. To him, family meant more than anything else.

“Thank you for your concern. I’ll make an effort to get along with them properly from now on,” Angela replied obediently. “Send me the address. I’ll be there on time.”

Barney nodded in satisfaction.
