After hanging up, Miles pulled open the door and saw Mallory standing there. He frowned. "Why are you standing at the door? You should be keeping Zachary company downstairs…""Mom told me to call you down to eat!" Mallory bit her lip and asked, "Miles, do you think that the Emmersons are right? Does Angeline's adoptive mother in the photo I previously took look very similar to her biological mother in the photo I took?""Don't talk about that anymore. You leaked the photo, and if anything happens and triggers Mr. Lawson Senior, neither our family nor the Stones will be able to save you!" Miles warned harshly. "Alright, alright!" Mallory took his arm and promptly put her doubts out of her mind. She changed the subject. "Miles, I just saw the photos that my friend took last year when she sneaked into the engagement party of the Lawsons and the Hoopers. "I saw a photo of Shane, the one who suddenly returned to Kingston Empire in Keman. He looked exactly the same as Sean! If I hadn't
Mallory thought about how nervous and angry Angeline had been when the photo had been posted on Twitter. It made Mallory wonder if there was any hidden story.She decided that she had to investigate the matter.Mallory knew that Miles didn't want to offend Angeline and that he didn't want her to do so either.She felt that she had been at fault for not having a good attitude previously. If she found out about something, she could have a good discussion with Angeline. Even if she had to give in and beg someone, she would do it as long as it could help her family get through their current difficulties. She would do anything.Unfortunately, Mallory didn't find anything after spending a large sum of money on the investigation.However, Anne's neighbor told Jamie that someone had been to the village where Angeline and Anne used to live and had asked about Anne and Angeline's past. It didn't take Jamie long to find out that Mallory was behind it.Jamie and Taylor didn't bother Angeline
"I… I was just trying to help! I heard Philip on the phone that day. He said that Benjamin's biological mother looks very similar to Angie's adoptive mother! I even spent money to get someone to find out from Katie." Mallory's eyes turned red. "I just didn't want to see you having such a hard time…""Mallory, I've never scolded you before. I cleaned up your mess every time after you caused trouble! But I've told you many times not to interfere with Angie's affairs. Why didn't you listen? You haven't been helpful at all since the beginning. Instead, you've been causing me trouble!"Mallory looked at Miles and saw how he was suppressing his anger. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a choked voice, "Miles… I didn't mean to cause trouble for you. I wasn't trying to find something to threaten Angie with. "I just thought that if I found anything, I could try to help Angie and gain favor with her so that she would help our family! Miles… I didn't have any bad intentions!"When
Miles brought Mallory to Lawson Global to meet Angeline personally. But Angeline had no time to meet them as she had been in a meeting for the whole afternoon. The two kept waiting in Lawson Global's reception room until nightfall. Nathaniel heard that Angeline was working overtime that day, so he went to the office, bringing dinner with him. He saw Miles and Mallory sitting in the reception room through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass and asked Angeline's staff in the secretary's office, "Who are those people?" "I heard they are Ms. Lawson's old acquaintances in Oceanford. Ms. Lawson has been in a meeting that hasn't ended yet. We'd already asked the two to leave, but they kept waiting inside," the staff told Nathaniel everything, treating him like Angeline's pampered husband. "Looks like they're here to ask for Ms. Lawson's help." Nathaniel nodded. "How much longer will the meeting take?" "I don't know. There's no news from the meeting room. But I think it should be ending
"Yeah," Angeline replied before telling Miles, "Just let this matter pass. I hope there won't be next time! Jamie, please see Mr. and Ms. Locke out." "Wait!" Nathaniel maintained a smile and said, "When Angie was comatose back then, you two weren't her friends and didn't even visit her at the hospital. And then, when she woke up, neither of you behaved as friends should. Instead, you betrayed her behind her back!"So now, please have some dignity and stop using your relationship as Angie's friend as a cover to deceive and boast everywhere! I'm not Angie. Angie could forgive you, but if such words reach my ears, I'll have to explain a thing or two for my fianceé. You get what I mean, Mr. Locke?" Miles' expression turned sour from being embarrassed by Nathaniel. But given they came to apologize with their tails between their legs, he didn't argue and replied, "Yes, I understood!" "Let's go! I've brought you dinner. I saw you enjoyed the scallops yesterday, so I brought you more…"
"Before Ingrid gets here, let me ask you one more time, Ned Fletcher. With how you're treating Angie right now, aren't you worried that you're going to regret it when you finally regain your memories in the future?"Hearing this, Angeline Emmerson's hand froze at the door handle. She had just been about to enter the room."Angeline is nothing but a fucking bitch who happens to be my ex. It's none of my business if you want to keep protecting that disgusting bitch, but if you still want to be my friend, you had better not bring her up again with me or Ingrid. Gross!"Zachary Stone's voice got louder when he heard Ned calling Angeline all sorts of names. "You were the one who insisted on marrying her before! And if it wasn't for her trying to protect you when you both met with that accident on the way back from the courthouse, she wouldn't have slipped into a coma for two whole years!"At the very least, she's your life savior. She's also your lawfully wedded wife! How could you post
The room went silent. It was so quiet, one could hear a pin drop.Angeline had a slim and petite figure. Even the winter jacket of the smallest size seemed too big for her. Her pale and sickly face was hidden by a long white scarf tied around her neck. Because she was so slim, her eyes looked huge.She stared at Ned and said, "I've already made a police report regarding your spiked drink at the event and your spreading of my nudes for revenge."Hearing this, everyone's reactions differed from one another.The couple sitting in the farthest corner with a wine glass in each of their hands exchanged glances. Panic was written in their eyes.The woman put down her glass and walked toward Angeline. She slinked her hands around Angeline's arm and said, "Angie, Ned only spread your photos because he was too angry. Don't you think making a police report is making a mountain out of a molehill? It's going to affect Ned's future!"Also, Ned's father has already managed to suppress the news.
"Angie!"Zachary caught up with Angeline at the door of the club. He wanted to grab her arm to stop her from leaving, but just before he was about to touch Angeline's winter jacket, he stopped himself. Instead, he took a few more huge steps forward and got in her way."Have you already moved out of the apartment?""Yeah." Angeline's eyes were downcast. She hid half her face under her fluffy white scarf.Since she'd made up her mind tht she was giving up on Ned, naturally, she would also want to leave the apartment that was filled with memories of them."Then, where will you be staying at for the next few days?"Zachary didn't give Angeline a chance to lie. Without missing a beat, he continued, "I went looking for you at Oceanford College yesterday because your roommate told me your family was waiting for you in your room. You don't have a place to return to anymore, do you? You also didn't come looking for us. Did you go to the Lawsons instead?"As soon as he brought up the La
