Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Trey remembered how Khloe had shouted at the students who were hitting the beggar, even stepping in front of the beggar to protect him.

The attackers were bigger, stronger, angry, and they hadn’t spared her either-hurling insults, raising hands- but she didn’t back down. She stood her ground, insisted on doing what was right, and even called the police.

At that moment, Trey had been captivated. She was completely unlike anyone he had ever known. He had always measured everything in terms of gain and self-preservation, never helping anyone without reason.

But Khloe-she had dashed forward without a second thought.

She was someone willing to step into danger to protect the weak, someone who wouldn’t stay silent in the face of injustice… how could such a person ever choose to bully others?

Over the years, Khloe’s selflessness and understanding toward him had shown Trey something important: some people are simply born without the desire to climb over others. Her pride was innate, but it manifested in action, in lifting obstacles rather than stepping on others to rise above them.

“Do you really trust Khloe that much?” Angela’s voice snapped him back, tinged with shock. She stood abruptly, eyes fixed on him, trembling slightly.

“So now you think I’m speaking ill of her? Slandering your… love?”

“Here we go again,” Trey murmured, a touch of helplessness in his voice. “I’m only judging rationally based on what I know of her. It isn’t like you’re saying.”

“Men can’t judge women clearly when their hearts are involved,” Angela said coldly, turning her face away. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, and she hid her face briefly as if to hide her emotions.

Trey felt a pang in his chest. “Angela, you know that I would never fall for Khloe!”

He hadn’t thought there was anything unusual in his feelings for Khloe. But hearing Angela say it aloud, his chest tightened with a strange, unnameable weight.

“Really? Then why is she acting like this toward you? Ignoring the company, leaving at will, and you still let her?” Angela pressed on. “You wait for her messages, speak up for her at every turn, and what does she do? Just go to her reunion, carefree and happy!”

Every word hit Trey like a knife. It was true-he had always treated Khloe fairly, never taken advantage of her, yet here she was, teasing him at a critical moment for the company.

Perhaps Angela was right. Perhaps he had misjudged Khloe.

Angela didn’t wait for him to respond. She picked up her laptop and retreated to the study.

After a moment, Trey followed. He found her leaning over the desk, crying quietly.

“I’m sorry… it’s my fault,” he whispered.

Seeing her so vulnerable, his heart ached. Angela had always been the one carrying the weight-bearing the pressure of her parents, marrying secretly to bear his child.

By any measure, she had suffered more than Khloe. Now, she was handling the mess Khloe had left behind without complaint. They were truly partners in life.

“Angela, once we get through this, once everything’s stable, I’ll convince my family–my parents, my

grandmother-to accept you,” Trey murmured, holding her close. He gently wiped her tears and softly reminded her of their shared promise.
