Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 219 Trey's brow tightened, leaving him momentarily speechless. "What? You refuse?" Stella suddenly sat up. Her face, usually full of color, looked genuinely haggard now. She grabbed Trey's hand tightly. "If you had to choose between me and Angela, would you really choose her?" "Mom, what are you doing? Why say something like that?" Trey hurried to calm her, well aware of her volatile and extreme temper, afraid she might work herself into another rage. "I know Angela harbors some resentment toward you," he added quickly. "Don't worry.

I'll talk to her properly." "Talk to her properly?" Stella scoffed. "She hates me to the bone and would love nothing more than to see me drop dead from anger! If that woman really listened to you, would she have driven me to this state? Would she have dragged your private matters out in front of the family elders?" Her words were harsh, but every sentence struck home, cutting straight to Trey's heart. On the surface, he and Angela seemed harmonious, finally a family of three. But her secret betrayal and threats had already torn a crack in their trust.

In recent days, Trey had been working late into the night, rarely staying here at the family estate with Angela. At most, he would stop by for dinner and to see Pete. If not for his mother calling him today, he wouldn't have come at all. After ten years with Angela, this was the first time he felt so exhausted and suffocated, with an urge to escape her presence. Yet bound by responsibility, promises, and the debt of past kindness, he still couldn't bring himself to abandon her so easily. Maybe this was how relationships worked-there were always low points. Endure them, and things would pass.

But when Stella said those words, Trey's mind went briefly blank. If he divorced Angela... would that mean he might have the chance to start over with Khloe? The thought flashed by, and Trey immediately regained his composure. "The company is at a critical stage right now..." "I mean after the company goes public!" Stella cut him off. Hope surged in her eyes as she softened her tone, playing the emotional card. "Trey, trust me. You and Angela will never be happy. She can't even raise a child properly.

Even if the company is left to you, with her by your side, the family will eventually fall apart. "You must see it now-she's nothing like the understanding, gentle woman she pretends to be in front of you. She's ruthless and unscrupulous. If she can betray you for her own sake now, there's no telling what worse things she might do in the future!" Every word Stella spoke sank deep into Trey's heart. 1/2 Chapter 219 +25 Bonus Although he managed to placate his mother and steady her emotions, his own turmoil refused to settle. Trey pushed open the door to Angela's room.

Pete was running around, firing a toy gun, and a stray shot hit him squarely on the head. "Pete!" Angela rushed over, snatching the toy gun from Pete's hands. "Don't point that at people. You hit your dad-apologize, now!" Seeing Trey back, Pete's eyes lit up. He happily dropped the toy gun and ran to him. "Daddy! I'm sorry!" Trey crouched down, his expression grave as he looked at Pete. This time, he didn't ruffle the boy's hair or warmly lead him back to Angela as he usually did. Instead, Khloe's words surfaced in his mind.
