The two friends then discussed their current affairs. When Richard mentioned that he was ready to take his revenge. Elliot’s face immediately turned serious before he gave his advice. “Richard, I know how you’re feeling, but you must not act rashly.”

“Even though my uncle tried to stop me, I’m not going to comply with his arrangements. I’ll handle things with that person in my own way.” The words came from Richard, whose eyes were as cold as knives and without the slightest sign of compromise.

“If you need my help, just say the word.” Elliot was aware that he could not be persuaded once he had made up his mind, but could not help worrying.

Richard shook his head. ‘Not right now.. I’m still preparing everything, so it’s not the right time yet.”

In the meantime, Angela returned to the room and was back in her seat. She intended to keep a low profile as she listened to her family discuss trivial matters of their daily lives. When Annie. approached her with an inquisitive attitude and leaned next to her, she asked, “Angela, where’ve you been? You’ve been gone for quite some time.”

“I-I ran into an old friend and we chatted for a while.” She could not bring herself to look Annie in the eyes.

The two sisters fit into two distinct categories of stunning beauty. Annie had. a face that was both beautiful and delicate, like that of a baby. In contrast, Angela had an oval face that was sophisticated and glamorous..

Angela still couldn’t enjoy the meal she was eating because her mind and heart weren’t in the right place. She got a text message right then and was so bored that she decided to look at it, although she thought it was probably a spam message. She inhaled deeply as she read the text message. “This is my private number. Remember to save it. She didn’t have to guess who sent this. Fearing that this message would be seen by others, she quickly hid it by covering her phone with her hand.

At that moment, she overheard her mom talking. “Dad, there are so many fine young gentlemen around you; perhaps you can introduce Angela to some of them. She’s old enough to get married,” Daphne spoke to Joshua.

Feeling a tug on her heartstrings, she said hastily, “Mom, Mom. I’m not in a hurry to get married.”

“Even though you’re a year and a half older than Annie, she’s already engaged!” Daphne retorted.

Joshua shared Daphne’s sentiments, so he said, “Alright. Angela, I’ll find you a suitable match. I recall a friend of mine telling me that he has a grandson who turned twenty-eight this year and has a great personality. I’ll introduce you to him one of these days.”

Angela looked at him with concern and said, “You don’t have to do that, Grandpa. I don’t want to marry just yet.”

“Dad, you should make an appointment with the Lloyd Family so that we can discuss Annie’s wedding plans,” Jennifer said with a hint of urgency.

“Alright. I will call Phillip and arrange to meet as soon as possible.” Joshua informed Jennifer.

Angela noticed Annie’s eyes widening, and her cheek flushed as she glanced over at her. Angela let out a heavy sigh of bitterness and felt sorry for her.

Just like a bystander, she saw Annie’s feelings for Richard grow despite his indifference to her. She felt even worse because she couldn’t do anything to help Annie.

She had every intention of letting her grandpa, aunt, uncle, and Annie know that Richard had decided to call off the engagement. However, she lacked the courage to do so and could only observe as they enthusiastically discussed Annie’s wedding preparations. She knew they’d be disappointed when the time came.

Angela left the room with a heavy heart, terrified that Richard would suddenly appear and announce his intention to break off the engagement in front of her family. Fortunately, she didn’t need to worry because that man didn’t show up, and everyone got into their cars. She sat in the car with her parents, filled with thoughts.

What’s the matter, Angela? You’re not as talkative as you used to be.” As soon as she got in the car, Daphne asked her. She noticed that her daughter had changed, and it seemed as if she had suddenly matured and gained a sense of stability.

“I’m fine,” Angela replied with a wry smile.

“Perhaps she is still afraid. She’ll be fine once she takes some more time to rest at home,” Gilbert added.

“Yes, I still have some fears, so I probably just need to get some rest.” Angela agreed with her dad that she didn’t want her mom to worry.

“Thankfully, it’s all in the past. After going through an experience like that, your dad and I have decided that we do not want anything else. We can only wish you happiness and safety.” Daphne gave her a tender glance. The once-dominant mother had become patient and understanding toward her daughter.

“Yeah, the most important thing is that our family is safe and sound.” She finally comprehended Daphne’s meaning. A part of her wanted to run away from home. back then. But now she realized that there is no place like home.

When they got home, Angela collapsed on her soft bed worth forty thousand, and kept her eyes on the beautiful ceiling. She switched on the room’s ambient lighting, which immediately turned it into a welcoming and sophisticated environment.

Surprisingly, she began to miss the small bed at Richard’s base. Despite the bed rigidity and discomfort, it provided her with exceptional warmth.

She was exhausted from everything she’d been through recently. In the past, she found that doing something as simple as getting a cup of coffee or going shopping could instantly lift her spirits.

On the other hand, it would appear that the source of her happiness now was simply the thought of Richard. She then sighed heavily and decided to take a shower, change into cozy pajamas, and drink a cup of warm milk downstairs to help her sleep.

It was already 10:00PM when Angela glanced at the clock. Her parents had both returned to their room and were currently resting. She then took a shower and dried her waist-length hair with a blow dryer.

Even though she could not give her hair the proper care it needed in the base, it retained its gloss and smoothness. Since her delicate facial skin was beginning to look dull, she gave it a little boost by applying a mask.

She lay down on the large leather couch with two eye masks on top of the sheet mask, and began her evening skincare routine while listening to her favorite music. She couldn’t help but feel drowsy as she listened to the music.

Suddenly, she was startled by what she thought was a sound coming from her bedroom door. She furrowed her brow as she thought, Did I leave the window open?

Is it because of the wind? As she had just put on her mask ten minutes earlier, she ultimately decided to disregard it. It would take at least twenty minutes to remove the sheet mask.

However, Angela was unaware that another person was in the room at the time. The man was standing with his arms crossed next to her couch, staring at her contented expression. The high quality carpet in her room muffled the sounds of the man’s feet, so she didn’t notice another person had entered the room.

Despite this, she had the distinct impression that someone was watching her at this very moment, and she couldn’t help but pull off her eye mask instantly. The moment she did so, terror took hold of her, but just as she was about to scream…

The man covered Angela’s mouth with his hand, which muffled her screams. She ripped her sheet mask off, enraged, and glared at the man who had mysteriously appeared in her room-Richard. Yes, the man standing beside her couch was none other than Richard Lloyd.

“You… How did you get in?” Her initial shock had transformed into rage. She recalled that her mother had assured her that not even a bird would be able to break through the state-of-the-art security system at their home. So, how does this man, much bigger than a bird, get in?

Then, in an angry voice, she said, “You should know that the area around my house is installed with electrical lines. So, how did you get in here? Do you want to die? You’ll be completely burned to a crisp if you step on one of those lines!”

The man remained silent for a moment before he finally smiled faintly. “Are you about me?”

Angela, whose face was flushed with anger, clenched her teeth. “You’re overthinking it. Why would I be worried about you?”

Richard sat on the couch beside her and looked around her luxurious room. He couldn’t help but sigh upon realizing that her bedroom was magnificent and regal. “It seems like things were tough for you at the base. Looks like at home, she gets the complete royal treatment befitting a wealthy heiress, with only the finest amenities.

After being stunned for a few seconds, she snapped, “I’m not that pampered.” Then, she thought, That’s not the point. This man has barged into my room in the dead of night. What exactly does he want? Don’t tell me he intends to seduce me! She looked at Richard, slightly alarmed, before speaking, “You… What are you doing here? What are your intentions?”

He averted his gaze and gave her a playful stare. “What do you want me to do to you?”

Angela replied with a hint of irritation, “I do not want you to do anything to me.”

“Don’t worry, I just came to see you,” he explained. After dinner with Elliot, he intended to return home but unexpectedly found himself at her doorstep. Then, he noticed the room’s light was on and assumed it was Angela’s, so he decided to pay her a visit.

“Did you climb up the wall to get in?” she asked while pondering. Was this man a monkey in a previous life?

“Yeah.” The man did not deny it.

“You… What if you slip and fall?” Angela said with a tone of worry.
