Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 140 +25 Bonus Khloe said, "Pete wants Angela to be his mom. If that's the case, I can't force it. You see, it's either you marry Angela, or sever the adoption relationship with Pete and let him go completely to her." Khloe's voice was calm but sharp, cutting straight to the core of Trey's guilt. Her gaze on him was cold and precise, like a thin blade. Trey felt a pang of unease and hurriedly retorted, "What are you saying? How could I marry someone else when my wife is you?" He then sized up the situation, pulling the still-throwing-a-tantrum Pete off the floor.

Wincing, he smacked the boy hard on the bottom a few times. 1 "Stop crying!" Pete's sobs faltered under Trey's stern presence, leaving him pouting and full of grievance. "I'm telling you, Khloe is your real mom! Haven't you learned your lesson? Angela was only with you for a few days. Are you already bored of living well and trying to leave our family to go back to the orphanage?" Trey bit his teeth as he spoke the last line. Pete was still his son, after all. Seeing Pete's tear-streaked, pitiful face choked him with emotion. A faint, cold smile curved Khloe's lips.

She had no interest in watching this father-son drama. Thinking of her upcoming visit with Lauren, she decided to take advantage of Trey scolding Pete and quietly slipped away. In the hospital corridor, Alicia and Stella were talking when they noticed Khloe. Both froze for a moment, then exchanged a knowing glance. "Well, well, what a rare guest. Khloe, I thought you didn't want to see us anymore," Alicia said with a seemingly warm smile, though her voice dripped with sarcasm. Stella glanced at Khloe from head to toe, her gaze cold.

Khloe looked even more polished than before-dressed in a full designer outfit, exuding the elegance of a high-born lady. So while the company had been in chaos these days, Khloe had been living comfortably-even using the Fox family's money for that. Quite shameless. "Tell me about it," Stella sneered. "These days, even if a daughter-in-law freeloads or can't have children, we in- laws have to endure her attitude, afraid of offending her." Khloe's eyes narrowed slightly. She glanced at the gifts she had bought for Lauren-plain, modest, nothing extravagant.

Stella's words landed on her like a provocation. "'In-laws,' you say? You mean the meddling mother-in-law who makes life miserable for her daughter-in-law, or the petty younger sister-in-law who treats me like a servant? If that's what you mean by in-laws, then I suppose anyone would feel unlucky meeting you-let alone me. Why should I even see you?" Khloe's cool laugh cut through the corridor. Alicia's face instantly darkened. She had assumed Khloe wouldn't dare be audacious right outside Lauren's ward and thought her previous remark was just a mild jab-but Khloe wasn't playing.

Before Stella could speak, Khloe strode toward her, radiating an inexplicably powerful presence that forced Stella to take a half-step back, her eyes darting nervously. 1/2 Chapter 140 +25 Bonus "And what's this about freeloading or infertility? Are you talking about me?" Khloe asked sharply. "Khloe, don't forget-you were an orphan marrying into this family, and your... condition..." "First of all, ninety percent of the Fox family's business performance over the past two years was achieved by me alone.

And I haven't taken a single penny, neither from the company nor the Fox family, so freeloading isn't even relevant," Khloe interrupted coldly, her lips curling in a derisive smile. "As for infertility..." 11 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
