The two friends then discussed their current affairs. When Richard mentioned that he was ready to take
his revenge. Elliot’s face immediately turned serious before he gave his advice. “Richard, I know how
you’re feeling, but you must not act rashly.”
“Even though my uncle tried to stop me, I’m not going to comply with his arrangements. I’ll handle
things with that person in my own way.” The words came from Richard, whose eyes were as cold as
knives and without the slightest sign of compromise.
“If you need my help, just say the word.” Elliot was aware that he could not be persuaded once he had
made up his mind, but could not help worrying.
Richard shook his head. ‘Not right now.. I’m still preparing everything, so it’s not the right time yet.”
In the meantime, Angela returned to the room and was back in her seat. She intended to keep a low

her with an inquisitive attitude and leaned next to her, she asked, “Angela, where’ve you been? You’ve
been gone for quite some time.”
“I-I ran into an old friend and we chatted for a while.” She could not bring herself to look Annie in the
eyes.
The two sisters fit into two distinct categories of stunning beauty. Annie had. a face that was both
beautiful and delicate, like that of a baby. In contrast, Angela had an oval face that was sophisticated
and glamorous..
Angela still couldn’t enjoy the meal she was eating because her mind and heart weren’t in the right
place. She got a text message right then and was so bored that she decided to look at it, although she
thought it was probably a spam message. She inhaled deeply as she read the text message. “This is
my private number. Remember to save it. She didn’t have to guess who sent this. Fearing that this
message would be seen by others, she quickly hid it by covering her phone with her hand.
At that moment, she overheard her mom talking. “Dad, there are so many fine young gentlemen around
you; perhaps you can introduce Angela to some of them. She’s old enough to get married,” Daphne
spoke to Joshua.
Feeling a tug on her heartstrings, she said hastily, “Mom, Mom. I’m not in a hurry to get married.”
“Even though you’re a year and a half older than Annie, she’s already engaged!” Daphne retorted.
Joshua shared Daphne’s sentiments, so he said, “Alright. Angela, I’ll find you a suitable match. I recall
a friend of mine telling me that he has a grandson who turned twenty-eight this year and has a great
personality. I’ll introduce you to him one of these days.”
Angela looked at him with concern and said, “You don’t have to do that, Grandpa. I don’t want to marry

“Dad, you should make an appointment with the Lloyd Family so that we can discuss Annie’s wedding
plans,” Jennifer said with a hint of urgency.
“Alright. I will call Phillip and arrange to meet as soon as possible.” Joshua informed Jennifer.
Angela noticed Annie’s eyes widening, and her cheek flushed as she glanced over at her. Angela let
out a heavy sigh of bitterness and felt sorry for her.
Just like a bystander, she saw Annie’s feelings for Richard grow despite his indifference to her. She felt
even worse because she couldn’t do anything to help Annie.
She had every intention of letting her grandpa, aunt, uncle, and Annie know that Richard had decided
to call off the engagement. However, she lacked the courage to do so and could only observe as they
enthusiastically discussed Annie’s wedding preparations. She knew they’d be disappointed when the
time came.
