There was an air of elegance and poise that came quite naturally to Scarlet and one could feel quite pressured to be in front of Scarlet.
“Relax. I’m not here to criticize you. I like you very much and I’m pleased that you’re in love with my son. I would never interfere in your relationship with each other,” Scarlet comforted Angela kindly.
Hearing that, Angela’s nervous feeling dissipated instantly and she felt that Scarlet was such a gracious and warm person. Although Scarlet was already in her fifties, she still looked charmingly attractive and she was quite a stunner.
At that moment, Angela realized that Richard had inherited his good looks from his mother and there was, in fact, a strong resemblance there!
“Angela, forgive me for conducting some investigations on you. That’s why I have an understanding of your personality. I’ve something important to ask you for help with, though.”
Angela nodded earnestly. “Sure, Ms. Husson.”
“I’m sure that you must know by now that Richard’s father passed away when he was a young child. His father had been brutally slain on a mission. Because of that, Richard had harbored hatred in his mind all this while.”
Angela’s expression stiffened suddenly and she recalled that Richard had mentioned to her that he had an important matter that he had to deal with soon. Could that possibly be related to his father?
She didn’t direct her question at Scarlet but continued to listen to Scarlet speak with a tensed feeling.
“Right now, the person who brutally murdered his father has kidnapped an important member in our research team. His uncle and I have tried our best to stop him from joining the mission but he insists on going.
All of us are aware that he is going after the man with an intention to exact revenge. This renders the mission to be of a totally different nature than his previous missions. He would quite possibly lose his cool and go all in to kill that man.”
Angela’s mind went blank upon hearing
all that. She couldn’t contain the worry and fear in her mind. No! I don’t want to lose him! I don’t want to lose him at all in my life.
“I don’t want to lose him. She couldn’t help saying that with a sobbing note and glanced at Scarlet firmly. “I love him and I want to be with him forever and ever.””
Meanwhile, Scarlet looked at Angela with a touched expression and then reached out to grab Angela’s hand. Following that, Scarlet removed a white jadeite bangle from her wrist and placed it into Angela’s hand. “I’ve acknowledged you as my daughter-in-law, Angela. We have to figure out a way to convince him that he has to come back safely.
We can allow him to join the mission because he would be guilt-ridden for the rest of his life if he misses this opportunity. It’s just that we have to make sure he has the will to stay alive and come back in one piece. We’ve got to make sure that he keeps a cool head as he pursues that man intently.”
Angela instantly caught on to Scarlet’s words and Angela nodded firmly while pursing her lips. “Ms. Husson, I get what you mean. I’ll definitely make sure that Richard gets back safely. Don’t worry.”
At that point, Scarlet heaved a sigh and nodded with red-rimmed eyes. “Sure.
Angela, please don’t let Richard know that I’ve spoken to you about this matter because he definitely wouldn’t want you
to worry unnecessarily.” “Alright. I won’t let it show on my face.”
Angela comprehended Scarlet’s words.
“Go back downstairs and enjoy the meal with him.” Scarlet had some other things to deal with too.
