All Chapters of Second Marriage to Mr. Rich: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The snow had melted into puddles on the ground, causing a muddy mess as people kept stepping into them."I'll go in to get my ID. Wait here for me," Angeline said, pushing open the door.Ned unbuckled his seat belt in the front passenger seat and said, "I'm going with you. Or else, you might run away."Ned and Miles followed Angeline into the area, carefully sidestepping the muddy puddles on the ground. They frowned as they looked at the shabby area that was filled with people."How could you live here?" Miles asked, shifting his gaze from the pile of rubbish by the roadside to Angeline. "Even if you didn't want to stay at the dorms anymore, you could still have gone to Lory's! This place is too shabby and shady for a single female like you.""It's fine." Angeline didn't elaborate any further.It was too expensive for her to stay at a hotel. What little savings she had from taking up part-time jobs while studying would never be enough to cover her stay there.And if she were to

After paying Zachary via online transfer for the clothes he bought her, Angeline then deleted his contact. The only people left in her list of contacts were Anne York, Henrietta York, Professor James Dickson, and Sean Lawson.Sean's profile picture was an underwater photo of the sun. He hadn't posted a single thing on his social media accounts. Anyone would think that his account belonged to an elderly person.Angeline's thumb hovered over Sean's profile picture."How much was the bill for my hospital stay last night? I'll transfer the amount back to you," Angeline said, turning to look at Sean, who was reading a document. "I also ruined your tie, so I'll compensate you for that too."The car suddenly swerved to the left. Angeline's phone slipped out of her hands as she fell toward Sean.Angeline panicked and tried to reach out to grab onto something to steady herself, but failed. She landed right in Sean's arms. She was just about to reach down to retrieve her phone when a hand q

The next time Sean met Angeline, he was 17 years old, and she was 12.Angeline had been stabbed twice because she wanted to save Ned. She lay on the hospital bed and refused the Lawsons' help once again.She was a scrawny kid back then. She told them calmly and seriously, "Outcasts should stay out of other people's lives. We should just do whatever is necessary so that we won't harbor expectations of anyone else. So, please don't interfere with my life. This is for the Lawsons … and you."Sean had felt that it was unfair to her back then, but Angeline's calm reply made him come back to his senses.That was when he went behind the Lawsons' backs and told the Fletchers that if they brought Angeline up in the guise of repaying her for the favor, the Lawsons would continue supporting them.This was the only time that Sean had ever interfered in Angeline's business.It was also then that Sean started paying a little more attention to this girl who was focused on just "doing whatever w

It was only when the 14-year-old girl Anne had adopted last year had seen videos of Ned announcing his love for Ingrid that Anne found out about Ned losing his memories.She'd also learned that the people around Ned hadn't dared to mention Angeline's name to him during the two years Angeline was comatose. They'd even burned all photos of her.Anne wasn't educated. It wasn't easy for her to come to Oceanford; all she wanted to do was bring a photo of Ned and Angeline together so she could help Angeline. She would never think of harming anyone, though."I know, Anne," Angeline said soothingly. "Don't be scared, okay? The police won't accuse you of something you haven't done. I'll head to the hospital to check on how Ingrid's doing. Then, I'll think of a way to get you out.""Have I caused trouble for you, Angie?" Anne sobbed. "I'm sorry! I only wanted to help. I didn't expect to cause trouble for you! I was afraid of the Emmersons harming you and finding your mother. I always make a

Ned's frown deepened at Tommy's words. He flicked his cigarette, looking impatient."If not for you plastering Angeline's photos all over Oceanford College to threaten Ingrid not to leave without a word, we probably wouldn't be able to find her now," Tommy said.The tree leaves rustled in the night breeze. Some loose strands of Angeline's hair fluttered as well, blocking her vision. It was hard to discern the look in her eyes.Angeline clutched her phone tightly. Her eyes burned with unshed tears. So, that was why Ned had plastered photos of her all over Oceanford College. He was using her to threaten Ingrid. How ridiculous."What exactly are you getting at?" Ned asked impatiently.Tommy stubbed out his cigarette and leaned close to Ned. "Though you swore nothing happened between you and Angeline that night, it's still a thorn in Ingrid's side. I bet it makes you uneasy, too."Ned's eyes darkened at having his sore spot prodded at. "So?""I bet Angeline will call you soon to spe
