Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 504

Angela was engulfed by crushing defeat and humiliation, so completely that she even forgot to feel afraid.

She wanted nothing more than to find a hole to crawl into. At the same time, she dug her nails into her own thigh in a frantic attempt to convince herself that this was only a nightmare.

Yet, no matter how much she suffered, every passing second carved itself more brutally into her heart.

Her gaze was fixed on Khloe, unable to tear away, even though she didn't want to look at her.

Khloe had not changed all that much. But the gulf between them now felt like a chasm between heaven and earth—one that could never be crossed.

With a single turn of fate, Khloe had effortlessly become the dazzling heiress of the wealthiest family.

The world Khloe now stood in was one Angela could never reach, no matter how hard she struggled.

Angela's mind drifted back to that afternoon on campus, the moment that had tangled the fates of the three of them together.

Back then, Khloe had been simple and clean, her handsome features still tinged with youth, nowhere near as striking or soul-stirring as they were now.

Angela had once sighed over such natural beauty, thinking it a pity that the girl was an orphan with no one to rely on.

When Trey drew Khloe into the world of their romance, he said he saw her diligence and her ability.

Angela had comforted herself by believing that Khloe was only a little smarter, but dull and awkward, someone who would never truly win a man's love.

And now…

Everything had come back like a boomerang, striking straight into her chest.

From the very beginning, Angela had been measuring herself against Khloe.

In this battle where there was no real opponent, she had still lost—utterly and completely.

At last, Khloe looked at her.

Angela finally summoned the courage to speak. Halfway through, however, her words faltered. She took a deep breath to steady herself.

"But now you're the CEO of Morrison Group. You should keep public and private matters separate. Don't you think so?"

Seeing Angela flustered and her voice tremble like that, Khloe found it almost amusing.

The goddess-like teacher who had once dominated the campus, the alluring woman who had driven Trey to lose his reason—this pitiful figure was now so ugly she barely recognized her.

Khloe despised Angela's warped values, yet as a fellow woman, seeing her reduced to this state over a man still stirred a trace of sorrow.

She said calmly, "Angela, it's precisely because of our past grievances that I'm giving you this chance. Michael already said it: if you admit your mistake and are willing to repent, many things don't have to be beyond saving."

Hearing Khloe speak as if she were granting her mercy, Angela's anger flared.

"What mistake am I supposed to admit to? What am I supposed to repent? Khloe, don't think that just because you were born into wealth, you can slander me! Have you forgotten that when you had no one to rely on and depended on the Fox family, you looked just as servile and pitiful?"
