Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 462

"What should we do now? Should we… send Khloe a message and apologize?" Alicia asked softly. Just thinking about it made her hands tremble.

In fact, she had already typed out a long apology while standing outside Lauren's hospital room, but she never dared to send it.

Of course, her messages probably wouldn't go through anyway.

If she had known Khloe was someone this powerful, she would have cherished their friendship back then.

Alicia still remembered when Khloe first married into the Fox family—she had been gentle and warm. It wasn't that Alicia truly disliked her. It was just that… Khloe had no notable family background, yet she shone everywhere she went. That made Alicia jealous.

Still, she had enjoyed Khloe's kindness toward her.

Alicia was picky with food, and during her pregnancy, she had suffered constant nausea and loss of appetite. When Khloe noticed, she enthusiastically researched and cooked all kinds of creative dishes for her.

Khloe's food was delicious and incredibly appetizing—better even than what the family chef made.

With Khloe around, Alicia's entire pregnancy had been much easier.

But… the kinder Khloe was, the more people wanted to suppress her, to make her less outstanding.

Alicia herself didn't know when it started, but she grew colder and crueler toward Khloe.

And once Khloe resisted, the fault always became hers.

"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? It's too late for regrets now!"

Stanley shot her a glance. "If you apologize now, do you want to remind her you even exist?"

Alicia lowered her head in frustration.

Seeing that she was genuinely afraid, Stanley stopped pressing the issue and lit a cigarette irritably.

The Fox family was already finished. How much worse could Khloe make things?

What worried him was himself—would he even be able to keep his job?

Even if he cut ties with the Fox family now, it was probably already too late.

"Oh, right—what about Angela?"

She had already ruined her chances with Khloe before. Now she couldn't afford to be reckless again and fall out with Angela too.

But perhaps because she had offended Angela too deeply in the past, no one answered her call.

With no choice, Alicia sent a text instead.

Stanley coached her from the side—don't ask for help right away, start by showing goodwill.

So Alicia only sent one message: the news of Lauren's death.

This time, her wording was very polite. She even addressed Angela as "sister-in-law."

From today on, Angela was her real sister-in-law.

Angela didn't see the message until evening. She had been in meetings all day and had ignored Alicia's calls.

When she finally read the text, she was shocked and immediately called Alicia back.
