“Thank you. I’m sorry for what Angela did. I can’t believe she threw away something so important, and now she just made things ten times harder for you,” Gilbert apologized.
“She did something good, actually. She took the lipstick back for us and prevented a direct battle with the criminals. She also bought us time.. Digging things up isn’t hard,” he explained. If it were not for Angela’s switcheroo, the thieves would have completed their trade that night, and Richard and his men would have to face an even bigger danger.
Gilbert felt a little better hearing that. So she did something good?
Daphne came back with a luggage filled with clothes. She still couldn’t accept that she had to be separated from her daughter at such short notice, and she sighed. “This is her luggage, Mr. Lloyd.
Can I call her before she leaves?” Daphne asked.
Richard shook his head. “Sorry. She’s under strict protection. She can’t contact the outside world for now, not even her parents.”
“Alright, enough. Don’t make this hard on him. What’s important is Angela’s safety.” Gilbert patted his wife’s shoulder.
Daphne nodded and put that thought aside.
“Mr. and Mrs. Meyers, please keep Angela’s situation a secret. Don’t tell anyone, not even your own family. Just tell them she’s studying abroad,” Richard told them.
“We’ll do that.”
Since there was nothing else to say, he told his underling to take the luggage away while he went to have a look at the yard. He told the guys there to tell him if they found anything as he needed to escort Angela to a secret base now.
The Meyers saw them off, and Gilbert said, “I almost forgot. Richard is Annie’s fiancé. He’s a brilliant lad.”
Daphne looked surprised. “So he’s the guy your father arranged for Annie?”
“Yep.”
Daphne thought Richard was great too. He was at least a thousand times better than Dexter.
At the same time, Dexter was in trouble. He was detained, since someone reported him on the suspicions of prostitution. The authorities had evidence, and he couldn’t weasel his way out.
He didn’t expect that the woman whom he ran into was a repeated offender either. Dexter finally realized how powerful the Meyers were, and he was scared. All his bridges were burned now that Angela knew who he really was.
The first thing he would do after he got out of this place was to give Daphne the 1.5 million back. He didn’t want to get into more trouble.
He only dated Angela for her money, but over the last two years, he got to know her and her family. Her grandfather’s family was filled with government officials, while her mother was a businesswoman, so she grew up

without love and companionship. She had everything she wanted in life, but her soul was barren. Because of that, Dexter created a lot of ‘chance encounters’ overseas and portrayed himself as a gentle, caring man who took care of her every need. He made her fall for him through his actions.
Angela fell for him in the end. Just when they were about to get married, Daphne found out and asked him out for a talk. Angela fought her family with him.
She wanted to be with Dexter no matter what, and Dexter could see victory in front of him. However, Daphne offered him at million and a half, and that made him waver.
Still, his greed got the better of him, and he planned on getting all the Meyers’ wealth. In the end, his efforts were for nothing. He knew Angela well. She was not a weak woman. She just grew up with little to no love, but she was braver than other women..
Angela was spacing out in the room. She spent most of her time studying and bettering herself in the past. There was no time to space out, but things were different now. She could take a break and space out. She didn’t have to worry about her relationship anymore, and it was peaceful.
