Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 381 Stanley's words finally managed to temper Alicia's anger. Making trouble for Khloe could only ease her frustration temporarily. Only when the Fox family rose to power again could they make Khloe see exactly what she was dealing with. How dare Khloe think she could swindle the Fox family's assets and rest easy? Khloe's phone was unreachable, but Alicia could still get through to Angela. As soon as Alicia got home, she immediately dialed Angela's number. She kept calling relentlessly until finally, the other end picked up.

"Alicia, you better have a good reason for this," came Angela's voice, laced with restrained anger, crisp in Alicia's ear the moment the call connected. Alicia snorted coldly. "I do have a reason to call you. But even if I didn't, you're still the Fox family's daughter-in -law. You answer when I call, and your attitude better be polite." Angela's end sounded noisy, as though someone else was around, but Alicia didn't care. Just hearing Angela's displeasure made her feel a little vindicated. Angela clenched her teeth to stop herself from hanging up. "What exactly do you want?

Say it quickly." She'd been working nonstop for the past two days, back-to-back meetings. She had expected Trey to panic and call her constantly-but he had only sent one phone call and a few messages urging her to divorce, and then nothing. Last night, she'd even heard from Kirsten that Trey wasn't even picking up Kirsten's calls anymore. He was determined to go through with this divorce. "Trey got beaten up at a bar last night, and there's no one taking care of him. Where are you? Go home and take care of him!" Alicia demanded, her voice commanding.

She didn't know that Angela and Trey were on the verge of divorce. But hearing that Trey had been attacked- and remembering what people had said about Angela seducing him in the first place-made her blood boil. A woman six years older than her brother, ignoring the elders' warnings, secretly marrying him and having a child... How shameless, how utterly unprincipled! Now, with the Fox family in this mess, both Khloe and Angela were each half to blame. "Trey got beaten up? How did that happen?" Even Angela's heart twinged a little at the thought.

"You're his wife, and you're asking me?" Alicia shot back, furious. "I was the one who went to the hospital to pick him up last night. Where the hell were you?" The more Alicia spoke, the angrier she got. Angela's patience snapped. "I'm out of town, it's inconvenient. If you're free, then take care of him yourself." 1/2 Chapter 38 +25 Bonus Before Alicia could even respond, the call ended. "Angela!" Alicia cursed loudly, redialing immediately-only for the call to be rejected. After that, Angela's number was completely unreachable. Angela set her phone down and returned to her seat.

The tension in her brow melted away. A small, knowing smile tugged at her lips as she murmured to the meeting room attendees, "Sorry about that. Let's continue." When the meeting ended, Angela finally relaxed a little. She thought about Trey's injury and hesitated before sending him a message: [Alicia called me. What happened last night?] But she immediately retracted it. Never mind-he'd survive. Back in her private office, Angela opened the door and immediately saw the company's vice chairman, Barney Lemont.

He was in his thirties, tall and well-built, with a sun-kissed complexion radiating masculinity. Yet unlike his imposing appearance, his demeanor was refined and gentle. Even in his high-ranking position, there was no trace of arrogance. Angela had always had a good impression of Barney-not only because he recognized her talent, but also because he had fought for every opportunity and benefit that allowed her to join the company. 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.
