At this point, Daphne suddenly remembered that she had purposefully brought up Richard’s work and
family issues at the previous dinner to persuade her sister-in-law to open up. Now, it was a total slap in
the face.
“I apologize, Mom. That was not my intention. Angela expressed solemnly.
“Is Richard genuinely fond of you?” Daphne was curious.
Angela’s lovely face turned bright red. “He is, I guess?” Her shyness had overshadowed her confidence
in this case.
She had no idea how much Richard liked her; all she knew was that he did not agree to the breakup.
“Alright! We’ll explain it to your uncle and aunt once you’ve told Annie about it and received her
approval.” On the contrary, Daphne was joyful after the shocking revelation moments ago. Afterall, it
was a blessing to marry into the Lloyd Family!
Not only did Richard possess dependability and strength, he was also an exceptional appearance and
physique. More importantly, Angela would always have his full support in the future.

point where there was no other choice.
“Okay. I’ll invite Annie out for dinner tonight to talk about it; perhaps even seek her forgiveness if I
could.” She nodded, agreeing with her mother’s words.
Satisfied, Daphne bobbed her head before looking around the office and inquired, “Didn’t you just bring
a bouquet up here? What did you do with it?”
Out of embarrassment, Angela stood up and reached behind the curtains for the bouquet of flowers.
On the other hand, Daphne could not help but sigh inwardly; she was completely satisfied with her
daughter’s boyfriend this time.
It was, however, a minor annoyance as the situation had to be handled correctly to avoid tension with
Annie’s family.
Exiting the room, Daphne made a phone call to her husband, Gilbert. As soon as Gilbert picked up the
phone, he was greeted with a question.
“Gilbert, Angela now has a boyfriend. Can you guess who?”
Stumped, he could only toss a few gusses in his head before he asked, “Who is it?! There’s no way I
could have guessed. Now, tell me.”
“It’s Richard,” Daphne answered right away.
Gilbert, who was on the other end of the phone, was equally astounded. “Why is Angela in a
relationship with Richard? What exactly is going on? Did they just start dating?”
“No. They met at the base and fell in love since then. I would have been kept in the dark had I not seen
my daughter on a date with him back at the office today! She was afraid of being chastised, so she
never told us about it.”
“Annie may not be able to enjoy that life,
but I can’t believe our Angela can!” “I know, right? I just hope their side will
understand.”
“Let’s all meet up and talk sometime!”

“Okay, but we’ll have to wait till Angela speaks with Annie tonight! We can go back to Dad’s for dinner
and discuss it tomorrow.”
Lying dazedly on the couch, Angela could not believe her mother had discovered everything without
any prior ‘rehearsal’. All that was left to do now was to be honest with Annie.
“President Meyers, someone just sent you a dinner invitation,’ Daphne’s assistant said as she prepared
to leave the office.
“What kind of dinner invitation?” Daphne was surprised to see the assistant hand over an invitation
card box with lavish packaging.
For a few seconds, she was stunned as she looked at the words printed on it. It was an invitation to a
charity dinner with a royal theme. This is no ordinary dinner invitation.
“Angela, are you familiar with the person who sent this invitation card?” As she brought the card into
the office, she inquired of her daughter.
