Chapter 538
“You filthy woman!”
Angela’s words struck Stanley like a whip. He snapped his hand up, aiming a sharp slap at her.
Before it could land, a firm grip clamped down on his wrist from behind.
Stanley struggled, but couldn’t break free. When he glanced back, sure enough, it was Trey.
Trey wore a loose black T-shirt that hung over his lean frame, his body clearly thinner than before. His features were sharper now, framed by longer hair brushing his neck. Exhaustion lingered in his expression, lending him an air of isolation and brooding intensity.
“Trey, come on. The family’s in ruins thanks to this harpy, and now you’re going to pity her?” Stanley snarled through gritted teeth, tugging on his hand in vain.
Trey’s gaze froze on him, cold and deadly. With one deliberate twist, Stanley’s arm screamed as if bones had cracked under the pressure.
“Ahh!” Stanley yelped in pain, drawing Alicia rushing down the stairs to plead for him.
“Trey! Stop! What are you doing? Stanley, why are you picking on my brother again?”
Stanley wailed, immediately pointing an accusatory finger at Angela.
“It’s not me, look who’s here!”
When Alicia saw Angela standing at the doorway, her face drained of color.
“Angela? You still have the nerve to come here?”
The Fox family had already suffered enough crossing Khloe, and now they had been completely manipulated by Angela. She had deliberately provoked Khloe, leaving them utterly helpless.
Angela’s audacity, dragging everyone down with her, made Alicia want to scream at herself for ever having shown her kindness.
But Angela ignored them all. Her eyes were locked on Trey. (1)
Only after Alicia appeared did he release his grip on Stanley, delivering a sharp kick to his calf.
“Get out.”
Stanley was held up by Alicia, fuming with frustration.
Stella emerged from the bedroom, sensing something was amiss, and called sharply, “Trey, what’s going on? Who’s here?”
Angela didn’t care about the rest of the Fox family. She spoke directly to Trey, “I just need a few minutes. I have something to say. Once I’m done, I’ll leave.”
“Trey.” Alicia immediately reached for Trey, realizing he truly intended to follow Angela outside.

Their mother was exhausted, and their father was bedridden with illness. Their family’s future was uncertain. Trey didn’t need to get tangled in Angela’s schemes-being with her now would only bring more misfortune. Alicia feared his heart might lead him astray again.
“I know my limits,” Trey said coldly, yet he still stepped out into the courtyard with Angela.
He hadn’t expected her to be released so quickly; he’d thought their next encounter would be difficult to arrange.
As he looked outside, he noticed a luxury car parked by the villa gate.
Everything became clear in that instant. Angela had remarkable foresight. In such a short time, she had been playing the long game-acting deeply attached to him while simultaneously securing her next move.
“Trey, I didn’t know you hate me this much. Why didn’t you tell me about Khloe? And that USB drive… you must have known what I did, and yet you… you did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
“You’re right. I did it on purpose.”
Before she even finished, Trey admitted it outright.
Angela froze. She had expected some hesitation, a feeble excuse, or at least a half-hearted explanation. She never imagined he would face her so calmly and unflinchingly.

The readers' comments on the novel: Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy)
This is the story that I like reading. The heroine got the hold of the situation right away. No humiliation, no injustice, which keep the readers feeling bad all the way while waiting for the right thing to settle in favor of the heroine. Good storyline,congrats writer!...
