“Ms. Husson, this… I can’t accept this.” Angela held the white jadeite bangle and stood up to return it to
“This was passed down from my grandmother’s generation and it has been passed on to each
daughter-in-law. You’re quite young to be wearing such a piece, but you can keep it safe and pass it on
to your future generations.”
Angela lowered her head and glanced at the translucent white jadeite. It was clearly a priceless piece
and she felt that it was too precious of a gift.
Nonetheless, the jadeite represented the well-wishes passed on from each generation before. So, she
was keen to accept it to pass on her well-wishes to her daughter or daughter-in-law in the future.
“Sure, Ms. Husson. I’ll definitely take good care of this.”
Scarlet was quite fond of Angela as Angela’s personality and appearance fulfilled the expectations
Scarlet had for a daughter-in-law. There seemed to be a firm strength within Angela.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Angela came down from the second floor, she was in a somber mood. She stood at the balcony on
the second floor and looked down to see Richard seated all by himself. His firm, strapping back looked
quite imposing and there seemed to be a cold aura that surrounded him, which made the others around
afraid to take the initiative to approach him.
At that moment, it pained Angela to see that and she quickly gathered the bottom of her gown and
made her way toward him. As soon as she approached his side, she reached out and wrapped her
arms around his neck.
She paid no heed to the surroundings as she planted a kiss on his cheek.
He was momentarily stunned before reaching out to take her hand into his. Subsequently, he tugged
her over to take a seat by his side. “Did you see my mom?”
“Yes.” “What did she talk to you about?”
“Nothing much. Look, she gave me this.” Angela showed him the jadeite bangle on her wrist. “She’s
very fond of me and she has acknowledged me as her daughter-in law.”
Richard focused his eyes on Angela and she could clearly feel him increasing the pressure as he held
onto her hands tightly.
Angela understood how he felt. After all, there were bound to be one or two things that a person
definitely had to achieve in this lifetime. His love for his father was the reason why he refused to let the
killer be on the loose. As for her, she was fated to fall in love with him in this lifetime.
“Did my mom mention anything else?” Richard kept his eyes lowered and it seemed that he didn’t dare
to meet Angela’s eyes.
“No, she didn’t. What’s wrong?” Angela purposely directed a question at him in return as she looked at
him with clear, beautiful eyes.
At that moment, Richard’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he smiled, “I was worried that my mom

“That’s not possible! Ms. Husson’s very friendly and nice to me.” Angela smiled and reached out to
serve him some food. “Finish your meal. Let’s go for a cruise after dinner.”
He nodded. Such banquet events were usually quite boring, so he had planned to leave with her after
dinner..
Shortly after that, Scarlet came over and joined their table. Richard could sense the affection and love
Scarlet had for him and there was a tender expression on his face throughout the night.
The others had to participate in the presentation later on, so Richard left with Angela first in tow after
dinner.
As soon as they walked out to the parking lot, she turned to ask him expectantly, “Let’s go for a drive by
the seaside. It’s still early anyway.”
