Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 463

"Alicia, you're saying Lauren has passed away… is that really true?" Angela asked.

The moment the call connected, Alicia's sobs came through the line.

Angela was shocked by the news of Lauren's death, yet after confirming it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift. She almost laughed out loud.

That old hag—always wishing for her and Trey to divorce—had finally gotten her retribution.

Suppressing her excitement, Angela questioned Alicia in detail about the situation.

Following Stanley's instructions, Alicia only said Lauren had suffered sudden heart failure. She didn't mention Khloe at all.

Khloe's matter would be better discussed face-to-face after Angela returned.

Angela asked about the family's condition, and Alicia patiently answered every question.

After hanging up, Angela began to feel something was off.

Usually, Alicia treated her like an enemy. Why was she being so polite today? She even kept urging her to go back and see Trey, saying her brother must need her company now.

Had the family pillar finally collapsed, forcing them to face reality?

No matter what, this news from Alicia had come at just the right time.

She and Trey were in the cooling-off period before divorce—exactly when they needed to repair their relationship.

With Lauren gone, the biggest obstacle was removed. It was a perfect opportunity.

Angela acted at once. She booked a flight, took Pete out of her small apartment, and sent him to her parents' home.

She was busy with work and about to go on a business trip, so her parents didn't question it.

But Pete couldn't bear to part with her. He cried and insisted on going with her.

As if bound by some father-son intuition, he suddenly kept calling out for his dad.

Angela's heart sank. She could only coax him gently, telling him his father would come home to see him very soon.
