Nonetheless, she recently spoke with her friends and discovered that Elton turned down the girl’s eager pursuit and enrolled in a foreign business school for further studies. The point being, he was currently single.
When Annie heard the news, she could only wish him happiness because she was engaged at the time. Now, she was filled with hope once again..
At Meyers Residence, Angela sat on the couch and relayed the messages from Annie to Gilbert and Daphne. Despite the fact that her parents thought it was unnecessary for them to chime in with the act, they naturally agreed to cooperate, given Annie’s willingness to put on a play.
Angela went upstairs after their discussion while Gilbert, on the other hand, was cheerful. “I had no idea our daughter would be the Lloyds’ chosen daughter-in-law!” he exclaimed to his wife.
“It’s okay to be happy, but don’t spread the word,” Daphne advised. Honestly, she was equally pleased with Richard as her son-in-law.
The first time she saw him, she had secretly intended to make him her son in-law, but she never imagined that her wish would come true.
As soon as Angela returned to her room, her phone rang. She dashed over, expecting Richard, but the caller ID displayed an unknown number. “Hello.
Who is this?” She frowned as she answered the call.
“Hello, Angela. It’s me, Dexter. I’d like to meet you.” The man’s voice could be heard from the other end.
His voice rendered her enraged as she questioned, “How dare you call me?”
“You can’t be this way, Angela. You owe me so much after all I’ve done for you over the years!” Dexter seemed to be attempting to blackmail her.
“What exactly do you want?” Angela sneered, her lovely eyes cold.
“How are things going? I heard you took over your mother’s business, Angela. You are now a president with a seven-billion dollar net worth. Let’s put it this way! I’d like five million dollars to compensate for my emotional commitment to you over the years; otherwise
“Otherwise?” She snorted.
“Otherwise, I’ll spread your photos online. You have no idea how many photos I have of you in your pajamas. All it needs is a little editing and with your beauty, I’m sure the photos will sell for a lot of money on those sites,” he threatened.
‘Don’t even think about it.’ Angela’s body trembled as she growled.
“I demand a precise sum of five million. Otherwise, I will do what I said since I have nothing to lose anyway. Angela, I really regret not having fun with you when we were abroad. I wouldn’t have cared so much back then had I known you’d be so ruthless.”
At that moment, Angela’s face turned pale from rage. She was thankful that the son of a b*tch did not touch her; otherwise, she would have ripped his heart out.
“Angela, I want the money by 3.00PM tomorrow. Or else… Hehe… Don’t blame me for what’s about to come.”
Without any hesitation, she hung up on him. Subsequently, she dialed the number again, but this time it was recording.
“Why did you hang up on me?” Dexter wondered with suspicion.
“Five million is what you want, am I right?” she stated unequivocally the amount he desired.
“Five million is nothing to you, so of course, you have it. Your family does not lack a mere five million. It must be transferred to my account by tomorrow 3.00PM, he reminded, clearly letting down his guard.
“How can I believe that you’d delete my photos after I sent you the money?” questioned Angela.
