Just then, the doorbell rang.When Angeline heard it, she thought that Tanisha had forgotten her hotel room card. She went to open the door, still clutching the materials that she had yet to categorize. She was about to speak but the words stuck in her throat.Gregory was standing outside the door with Ned. He said rather apologetically, "My cousin came all the way here. He said he has something to say to you, so I…"Ned had told Gregory that he had something very important to tell Angeline. Gregory had wondered if his scumbag cousin finally had some conscience and was there to pursue his wife.If that were the case, Angeline's baby would have a father. That was why Gregory had brought Ned over. "I don't think I have anything to say to Mr. Fletcher," Angeline replied and immediately closed the door, her expression cold. "Wait!" Ned stepped up to block the door from closing. "Angeline, don't force me to threaten you.""Haven't you threatened me enough?" Angeline's voice was fil
"I've never thought of getting anything in return for saving someone, even if he was the second son of the Norwalks!"There was a slight smile on Angeline's lips. "I can remain silent about this, but if I take the money and Ingrid is revealed to be the impostor who claimed to save Mr. Norwalk when she didn't, then I'll be forced to stand out and explain this! Or you might even reveal all the transaction records and push the blame on me to save Ingrid." She was right. Ned looked grim. "You brought a non-disclosure agreement with you, didn't you?" The smile on her face remained unchanged, but the sinister look in her eyes sent a chill down his spine. "Ned, I was so wrong about you. You really disgust me! Since we're divorced, why can't you just be gone? Why do you have to keep tangling with me? I'm just your despicable ex-wife with a questionable character, right? Can't you two live without me?"Ned's expression contorted. "Angeline, do you want the Emmersons to go and make a fuss
On Ned's birthday, Ingrid had looked at Angeline imperceptibly when she refused to attend Ned's birthday party. That was what had triggered Ned. When Anne passed away, Ingrid stood in the doorway of the morgue and righteously rebuked Ned for pushing Anne, intending to make Angeline fall out with Ned completely. Angeline knew it all.She thought Ingrid had only used those means because she truly loved Ned. After all, at that time, Angeline had already decided to dump Ned.However, everyone in Oceanford knew Ingrid and Tommy were very close. Tommy had been humiliating and bullying Angeline for over two years. She believed Ingrid wasn't the one who instructed Tommy. Ingrid didn't encourage Tommy, but she had always turned a blind eye to his doings and condoned his actions. Because of her indulgence, Tommy ended up drugging Angeline and hiring people to bully Henrietta. After Angeline fled from Emmerson Village, the tragedy began after she got involved with Ned and Ingrid.S
"Okay!" Ned replied kindly.After hanging up the phone, Ingrid looked at Linda, who was looking at her with an unsatisfied look, and said with a smile, "Ms. Davis, please help me contact Norwalk Corporation."Ned is right. This issue has always been a hidden risk to us. Now that we've signed the contract, it's time for me to reveal the truth to Simon."Linda stared at Ingrid with her eyebrows furrowed in disagreement."Don't worry, Ms. Davis. I believe in Angie! If she said she won't take the initiative to expose us, she won't do it." Ingrid affirmed. "Plus, the CEO of Norwalk Corporation said during an interview that they chose me because I fit their style."I'll let Norwalk Corporation know I've communicated with Angie later during our connect. Since the endorsement contract had been signed and settled, I'm sure a pretty person with a beautiful heart like Angie will not expose us."Ingrid continued reassuring Linda with a smile, "I'll try to be more sincere. Regardless of wheth
After hanging up the phone, Linda looked at Ingrid and said, "Ingie, I just received a call from Wleyold's director, Stephan Garrison's assistant. You're going be the lead actress for 'Catastrophe Three'!"Ingrid's eyes widened in surprise.Linda grabbed Ingrid's shoulder and continued, "Do you know why? It's because you're the brand ambassador for Norwalk Corporation! If you were to terminate your contract now, you won't be getting all of this!"Just think about it, 'Catastrophe' was the best-selling movie of its time worldwide, and it was the film by your idol Stephan Garrison!"Ingrid bit her lips. She felt like she was in a predicament....The seminar went well when Angeline saw the announcement that Ingrid would be the lead actress for 'Catastrophe Three.'She smiled and locked her phone before focusing on the seminar.Gregory had heard of Angeline's record and her nickname of Gifted Maiden before. But he had yet to witness it for himself.He finally understood how terri
"Let's go get some food!" Sean said.Gregory squeezed through the crowd, planning to go with Angeline. But he saw her walking away with another man.Gregory's forehead creased. He thought to himself, "Who is that man?"After dinner, Sean invited Angeline to the hotel where he was staying.Sean said, "I'm on a tight schedule for this visit. I'm sorry you'll have to bear with my schedule. We'll have to get everything for the marriage registration ready by tonight, and we'll have to leave first thing tomorrow morning."Angeline couldn't decline Sean's offer after hearing his reasons.Tanisha volunteered to bring Angeline's toiletries over from her hotel. Then she called a cab back to her hotel.The hotel Sean was staying at was close to the restaurant.Sean smiled after seeing Angeline trying to catch the snowflakes at the restaurant entrance. "Since the road wasn't covered in snow, how about we walk to the hotel?""Sure!" Angeline's eyes twinkled.Sean took the umbrella from Ta
Ned knew Ingrid's favorite flowers were white roses!Feeling confused, Ned threw the sunflower bouquet into the trash can and left after taking a glimpse at Angeline.But Ned stopped after taking a few steps. He felt strange about how overly intimate Sean and Angeline were.Linda watched as Angeline and Sean left with the flower bouquet from the other side of the road. She quickly snapped a few photos and then called Ingrid."Hello, Ingie! Do you know who I saw while I was buying a coffee earlier? I'll send you the photos!" Linda hung up and was about to send all the photos, but suddenly, she hesitated.She was looking at the photo where Ned was holding a sunflower bouquet and stood before Angeline and Sean. Then, she looked at another photo where Angeline was holding the sunflower bouquet with a smile while leaving with Sean.Linda was still very concerned about getting Angeline to sign the NDA. So, she did some quick thinking. In the end, she only sent the two photos to Ingrid.
Ingrid locked her phone screen in panic and looked up with a pale face.She tried to force a smile, but tears started flooding her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and wiped her tears. "I'm so sorry."Simon was caught off guard and passed his handkerchief to Ingrid. "Forgive me, but did the two of you fight?"Ingrid shook her head. "No, I just lost my manner. Mr. Garrison is waiting for us. Let's go."Seeing that Ingrid didn't want to share, Simon didn't pursue with more questions and nodded gentlemanly."Do I look okay?" Ingrid forced a smile and looked at Simon with watery eyes."You look gorgeous. Beautiful and innocent like a fawn lost in woods," Simon praised with honesty while opening the door to the private room for Ingrid.Simon felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he followed behind Ingrid.Admittedly, Simon knew Ingrid was attractive, and he always had a soft spot for innocent women who made him feel protective.He couldn't tell if it was because many year
