Chapter 145

Author: Tangy Candy
"I've been raising Pete for two years. If the elders never see his true behavior now, when he's much older, they'll think I'm the one who spoiled him," Khloe said calmly.

"You posted the video to the family group chat? Khloe, Pete is our son. You've gone overboard!" Trey's face drained of color.

Seeing the video appear in the group chat, past the window for deletion, he felt his face flush with embarrassment.

But the moment he spoke, he realized how obvious it was that he was defending Pete—and the child's repeated misbehavior left little room for argument.

He drew in a deep breath and tried to steady his tone. "Khloe, a child should be guided, not humiliated. What you've done… How will he face anyone in our family after this? You don't want Grandma and Mom worrying, do you?"

"Just cancel the police report! I'll compensate for the car and make Pete apologize properly!"

Before Khloe could reply, Trey had already transferred the half a million. The transaction completed in moments

    Trey's assistant knew the full story. After Angela found an excuse to get him out of the way, she, wanting to let Pete vent his frustration, gave him a metal rod and sent him to scratch Khloe's car.Angela had carefully scouted the garage and noticed there were no surveillance cameras. Pete was just a five-year-old—no matter what he did, Khloe couldn't really punish him. And with Trey around, she never imagined Khloe would actually call the police.Once Trey understood the full situation, he felt, for the first time, an urge to divorce Angela. The Angela he remembered had always been so refined and considerate. She had never behaved so recklessly!Khloe had been right. "A child not taught is the father's fault." It was his failure as a father to choose the right mother that had spoiled Pete into this bratty state.It was late. Alicia had already left, and only Stella remained with Lauren in the room. Arthur had called earlier, demanding she resolve the matter quickly.The simp

    Of course, Khloe and Trey weren't actually in conflict—they had long since become strangers to one another. But her account with him had not yet been settled."I know the family lacks for nothing. These supplements are just my token of respect for you, Grandma, and I spent my own money on them. If you don't need them, feel free to handle them as you wish," Khloe said, carefully leaving room for the elderly woman's pride.Lauren seemed about to respond, but Khloe hurriedly added, "Grandma, you should get a good rest. I'll take my leave now.""Khloe! Khloe!" Lauren rose anxiously, trying to grab her arm, but Khloe moved quickly. Before anyone could react, she had already left the ward.Trey rushed forward to steady his grandmother, wary of her agitation. "Grandma, don't get too worked up—be careful of your health!""Go after her! No matter what, bring her back home!" Lauren's face flushed with urgency, and she pushed Trey toward the hallway without a second thought for her own frail

    “Grandma, the things I’ve brought you aren’t something you could just pick up from any old store. You wouldn’t find these on a high street,” Khloe said, lowering her gaze and speaking with careful emphasis.Her fingers deftly untied the bag, revealing what looked at first like a simple wooden box, crafted from richly grained walnut.She opened it. Inside, a layer of deep velvet cushioned several pieces of rare, wild-foraged Manuka honeycomb, dark amber and thick with potency. Beside them rested a small jar of the finest Icelandic dried reindeer lichen—a supplement so prized it was said to strengthen the blood—its pale colour and clean, earthy scent speaking of exceptional quality.“These are rare finds I sought out specially—wild Manuka honeycomb from protected, ancient groves, and the highest grade of Arctic lichen. They’re so scarce they’re virtually unobtainable commercially. I gathered them in such a hurry, I’m afraid I paid little mind to the presentation.”“This…”Alicia’s e

    "Maybe it was just a misunderstanding," Trey said coldly, brushing past Stella before she could say any more, and stepped into the hospital room.Seeing Khloe, Lauren seemed to brighten immediately. She reached for Khloe's hands, showering her with praise and complimenting how much more beautiful Khloe had become since they last met.But this time, as she spoke to Khloe, Khloe could sense a subtle reserve in Lauren's tone. It lacked the genuine warmth and sincerity that Lauren had shown when she'd supported Khloe and Trey's marriage."Grandma, I brought you some supplements. Please take care of yourself and don't let anything make you angry—it's never worth it," Khloe said softly, her concern for the elderly woman unchanged. Even if fate had separated them from being a family again, she would always remember the care and protection Lauren had shown her."Khloe, you really have no sense at all," Alicia sneered. "Grandma treated you so well, and now that she's sick, you bring her som

    "I've had a full check-up," Khloe said calmly. "My health is perfectly fine. There's no issue with infertility. If you don't believe me, I can send you the report right now. I've always kept it on my phone."Her composed tone hit Stella like a thunderclap. She had been ready to scold Khloe for her ungrateful, unbridled attitude, but this single statement dropped a bomb that left her dumbstruck."What did you say? You're not infertile? That's impossible… Trey adopted a child for you…" Stella stammered in disbelief.Alicia saw the opportunity and immediately joined in mockery. "Khloe, you're really good at lying. You say your check-up was fine—but you two haven't had a child in two years? Maybe my brother's the one with the problem?""That's possible," Khloe said with a faint, cold smile, her eyes narrowing. "You really should ask Trey why. My health is perfect, yet he didn't dare… for two years. And then he adopted some random child just to cover it up."Alicia froze, her hand flyi
