"Ms. Davis, how could you say things like that? You don't know how amazing Angeline is," Ingrid said earnestly. Ingrid, who once emulated and followed Angeline's footsteps, knew all too well just how formidable Angeline was."You're always so naive. You boost others' morale at your own expense! Aren't you impressive too? You're now an international superstar!" Linda chided while tapping Ingrid's forehead lightly. "Let's go."Eddie noticed Angeline immediately upon her entering the studio. He was sitting in a rocking chair, sipping his tea. "Ah, Angeline!" he exclaimed. Eddie stood up and greeted Angeline with a smile while still wearing his work apron."Mr. Reynolds, how are you?" Angeline asked smilingly. She walked over and supported Eddie by the arm."I'm very well, thanks to you," Eddie replied cheerfully. "You convinced me to participate in that medical trial. My old body wouldn't have lasted this long if you hadn't." He chuckled and pulled Angeline to take a sea
Ingrid pulled Linda's arm and apologized to Mark. "I'm sorry, my friend is a bit anxious. This porcelain is a gift for the second son of the Norwalk family. It's also a way to promote our national culture. So, we really hope to obtain a piece by Mr. Reynolds. Could you please speak to Mr. Reynolds and check if we could present an available piece? We'd be very grateful!"Linda's attitude starkly contrasted with Ingrid's plea. Ingrid was the spokesperson for the Norwalk family, and intending the gift for Simon somewhat swayed Mark.He nodded. "Please wait here. I'll go ask him."When Mark left, Linda turned to the young man who initially greeted them. "Wasn't there a lady who came in before us? Why isn't she here?""Oh, that lady," the young man replied with a smile. "She's a close friend of Mr. Reynolds and has gone to have tea with him."Linda was taken aback and then looked at Ingrid, her brows furrowing slightly. "What's the deal with Angeline? How is she connected to
"Good!" said Mark, nodding with a smile.He then put on his gloves and carefully placed the item into the brocade box."I'll see you out," Eddie said to Angeline, who replied, "Alright!" She took the brocade box from Mark and thanked him before walking out with Eddie.Eddie added, "Now that you're back in Krontos, you must visit and play a game of chess with me when you have the time! I can't forget how you tricked me into the hospital with chess. It's the reason I'm still alive today.""Well, it's because you were willing to trust me."Eddie left only when he had escorted Angeline to the parking lot.Angeline noticed Linda storm toward her after carefully placing the porcelain in the trunk and closing the door.Ingrid chased behind her, shouting, "Linda, stop it!"When Linda saw Angeline, she raised her hand, about to deliver a slap.With an eyebrow raised, Angeline swiftly grabbed Linda's wrist and slapped her across the face instead. She then kicked Linda in the torso, ca
As the full-time manager of international superstar Ingrid Dalton, Linda had full control over her. In the entertainment industry, she was a respectful figure. Yet, she was just slapped by Angeline. She could never endure this kind of shame.On her way back from Eddie's place, Angeline received a message from Danny about the location of the restaurant where they were going to have dinner with Simon tonight.A voice message followed, "You better not stand us up."After taking the porcelain back home, Angeline sent a message to Sean because she didn't want to disturb him at work. She told him she was going out for dinner with friends that night.Even though Sean said he would be home late tonight, she worried that she might return later than him.As the night fell, she put on light makeup and changed into a champagne-colored custom-made dress with excellent tailoring. Her slightly curled hair cascaded down over her shoulders, giving her a hint of femininity not seen on regular days.
"Don't hang up. Talk to me about anything."Angeline said, "Well, since you care about me so much, I'll tell you something you don't know. Heather does have feelings for you. It's just that there's a six-year age gap between you two, and she can't accept it."So, she chooses to avoid her feelings. If you try a bit harder and be more brazen, you'll soon be able to win her over—as long as you don't disturb her while she's working."Seeing how Danny genuinely cared for her well-being, she dropped him a hint."I appreciate it. You're even worried about my lifelong happiness at a time like this!" said Danny."Heather has a bit of a complicated personality. She's always saying one thing but meaning another. You have to figure out when she's telling the truth and when she's being sarcastic.""Boss… you're in danger, and here you are teaching me how to pursue Heather? I'm at the intersection of Walmesley Drive and Clover Street.""I simply don't want you to end up an old bachelor and di
Danny nodded with a smile, thinking that Simon would probably be astonished if he knew that Angeline was the founder of Vitality Biotech Group."Yeah!" Angeline said, looking at Danny. "Mr. Reilly's offer was irresistible."Simon smiled and said, "So, what about now? I'm still very eager to get you to join my team. Professor Sharpe said we'll need professionals in both biological genetics and brain neurology, and it's our honor to have you join us. I'll give you my best offer!"Simon had never given up on brain-computer interfaces over the last few years. The deeper he delved into this field, the greater the obstacles he faced.That was why he desperately wanted to meet Angeline today because he needed Angeline's help.Noticing Simon's eagerness, Danny interrupted, "You won't be able to steal Angeline away from me!"He thought Simon was anxious to meet Angeline because he fancied her. He didn't expect him to attempt to poach her instead."If you're interested, take a look at t
Robert removed his reading glasses and casually threw the unfinished documents aside.He picked up his teacup and said, "I think Angeline should stay away from people related to Ned. Nothing good ever comes from encountering him.""There's no need to rush this matter. As you said, Ms. Angeline didn't admit to having a boyfriend today, which probably means they're still getting to know each other. Perhaps Ms. Angeline will find Mr. Hooper interesting at your birthday banquet!"Robert nodded in agreement."Then should we continue investigating Ms. Angeline?" Asher asked.Thinking back to how upset Sean was when he had someone follow her before, Robert knew too well not to repeat the same mistake."No, stop the investigation. We don't want Angeline to be upset if she finds out.""Alright."…After finishing their meal, Angeline, Danny, and Simon left the restaurant. The weather had turned cooler all of a sudden. Simon gallantly removed his suit jacket and draped it over Angelin
"Boss, what should we do?" Danny asked.Angeline walked into the encirclement and looked at the five tensed people.She smiled and said, "Why did you guys bring me here?"Danny's eyes turned cold as he warned, "You still have a chance to speak now, so don't waste it!"Clubs in their hands, the five men huddled back to back and remained silent.Angeline sighed, and Danny gestured with a stern face. Soon, they were beaten to a pulp. They yelled in agony. Their bodies were covered in blood.About 20 minutes later, Angeline approached the men who lay on the ground, barely breathing.She retrieved her photo from the scar-faced man's shirt pocket, looked down at him, and asked, "I'll give you another chance to speak. Who sent you?"Before the scar-faced man could respond, a phone that dropped from his pocket rang. He reached for the phone, but Angeline stepped on his hand with her heels. He howled in pain.She bent down to pick up the device, watched as Danny's men gagged the mouth
