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
The scar-faced man nodded repeatedly and said, "Understood. I've been fucking played by Linda. I promise she won't get away with this!"If Linda had told him how capable Angeline was and how many men she had, he would have asked for an extra 500 thousand dollars to be fully prepared.Fortunately, he hadn't done anything to harm Angeline. Judging by her appearance, she had great influence and was not someone to mess with.Angeline got into Danny's car and headed back.Danny reprimanded, "How could Simon's savior be such a despicable person? How could she let her manager do such a thing? I won't let her off so easily!""If I'm right, Ingrid probably doesn't know about this," said Angeline as she looked out of the window into the night indifferently. "Ingrid has always been innocent like a pure white lily."Even if it was all an act."You're Ned's ex-wife, and he is now Ingrid's fiancé! Who else could it be if not Ingrid? You always assume others are kind like you," Danny said, f
"Do you know that photos of you and Simon went viral tonight?" Sean asked.Puzzled, Angeline was about to check her phone when he stopped her and said, "I've already had them take all the photos down."Sean was irritated at the photos of Simon cutting steak for her, putting a coat on her after exiting a Michelin restaurant, and escorting her to her car."Cutting steak for you, giving you his coat…" Sean said, his tone softened. "Even as friends, isn't this crossing the line?""Simon has been researching brain-computer interfaces for the past few years. He asked me questions about it at a conference in Dmont a few years back. This time, he invited me to dinner to persuade me to join his team."Angeline looked at Sean and realized he was jealous. She suppressed her smile and decided not to call him out on it."So, you're okay with him crossing boundaries? Or do you want to pursue something with him?" he questioned, his dark eyes behind his glasses unreadable. "If you're conside
Sean had easily evoked her sexual desire. Now, she was even anticipating it.She wasn't sure if it was because her psychological trauma had unknowingly healed over time or if Sean's dominant presence healed her in some way, rendering her unable to resist.Blushing, Angeline tucked her hair behind her ear and picked up her handbag and Simon's suit from the floor. She recalled Sean's gloomy expression when he was on the phone when she entered the house. She wasn't entirely sure if he was jealous.Undoubtedly, they would have to face immense pressure and trouble in the future if she chose to be with him. After all, Sean was an adopted son of the Lawson family. Even if he were to leave the Lawson family, there's no denying he had been a part of them.She had feelings for him but wasn't confident that she could face future challenges and pressures, nor did she know if she dared to go against Robert.After taking a shower, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She wondered
