"You worry too much." Miles exhaled some smoke. "Angeline may not have the best background, but she's always been proud and clear of mind. As far as I recall, she's always been a woman of her word, especially when it comes to you…""What do you mean?"Miles didn't respond immediately to Ned's question. He gazed at Ned with a complex expression and said, "Ned, now that you've divorced Angeline, it's best to move on from your past with her and focus on being with Ingrid."When Miles saw how quiet Ned was at that, he suddenly straightened up. "Be honest with me. Did you remember something?""No," Ned persisted, flicking off some ash from his cigarette. "I'm just concerned Angeline will come back and try to interfere in my relationship with Ingrid."Miles thought about Angeline's expression and behavior when Ned and Angeline had gotten their divorce registered. He said confidently, "Based on what I know of Angeline, she really did let go of you on the day you two went to get divorced.

Around 7:30 pm, the other students said they wanted to celebrate Angeline's arrival. So they brought her over to a restaurant opposite the university to have dinner."Professor said tonight's dinner to celebrate our new teammate is on him!" Reese declared, handing menus to everyone."Wow! How happy is the old man to have Angeline onboard? He's being so generous tonight!" Reese's girlfriend, Marion West, handed Angeline a menu. "Hurry up and take advantage of it, Angeline! The professor is usually really frugal!""Get some non-spicy meats as well. Angeline can't eat spicy food!" Alva told Marion, who was ordering.The barbecue restaurant was packed with noise and chatter. Smoke from sizzling meats filled the place as the waiters rushed back and forth between the tables. All of them greeted and thanked the customers as they entered and left the restaurant.Angeline's seniors kept telling her stories about James' adventures finding talented people to join their team. Laughter continu

Marion said angrily, "What kind of tricks do these shameless people have up their sleeves? They abducted the old man's daughter who ended up dying after that, and now they're trying to get his assets?"The TV program was coming to a close.Ian faced the camera and said patiently, "Besides contacting Benjamin's grandfather, we also contacted Benjamin's sister. She has provided us with an audio recording which will be played on our next episode."This was followed by a shot of Benjamin's face, which immediately became cautious. "What audio recording?"The camera then panned to George, who stood up angrily and yelled, "Jodie is a shameless whore who's slept with everyone in her college. How could you believe her words?"Ian remained unmoved. "That's all for this episode, folks. We'll meet again in the next one!""Hey, are they wrapping up this episode just like that? Why didn't they hint at what the audio recording would be about?" Marion asked frantically, extremely curious about t

"Sir, I have news from Oceanford. Ms. Angeline's adoptive mother got into a car accident after seeking Mr. Fletcher out. She didn't survive," Taylor said over the phone call.Sean tensed immediately, his grip tightening around his phone. "Got it."After hanging up the phone, Sean grabbed his coat from the chair and put it on. "There's an urgent matter I need to deal with.""Spend more time with Ms. Monica." Robert sat back in his chair, leg crossed over the other. He took a book from the table to his side and continued, "You're bound to be the family patriarch. Having the Scott family's support will help secure your position."Robert's implied meaning was that he was immensely pleased with Monica Scott marrying into the family, so Sean had to feel the same way whether he liked it or not.Sean knew it would be a long way to go before Robert would accept Angeline.Being the only child in her family, Jessica had been doted on by her family since young. She had been tormented to hel

"Anne… Anne!" Angeline croaked out softly, throat clogged with pain.Tears finally flowed freely from her eyes. "Anne!"Angeline clutched onto Anne's arm, crying. "You promised you'd make me beef stew and meatballs!"She didn't want Ned anymore. She really didn't want him anymore. She only wanted Anne to come back to life.Zachary's eyes reddened as he stood outside the morgue listening to Angeline sob her heart out. He rarely ever saw her cry when they grew up together. Angeline didn't even cry when she woke up from her coma only to hear that her beloved Ned had amnesia and lost his past memories. Angeline had only wiped her tears away and said she would make Ned regain his memories.She had never had such a terrible breakdown.Zachary had thought Angeline was as cold and distant as others said and that she was able to calmly deal with whatever obstacles she faced.Zachary waited outside the morgue for nearly two hours until the sounds of crying ceased from within. Only then
