Richard was too angry to say anything after hearing William’s words. William said slowly after that, “Well, Braelynn has already given you an ultimatum. She wants to beat Angel up in the afternoon, so you have to prepare to start seducing her now.”
Richard glared at William. “Do you believe that I’ll beat you up instead?”
“You don’t have the guts to do that. If you dare to touch me, Braelynn will definitely break your bones.”
Richard gritted his teeth because he knew that William was telling the truth. “Tell me, what the f*ck should I do?”
Angel was so angry with Emily that she had trouble sleeping at night, so she didn’t wake up until it was noon. She went downstairs after she got up, but she found that neither Fandrey nor Callum was at home. Only Deborah was watching TV in the living room.
Deborah frowned when she saw Angel coming downstairs. “Why did you wake up so late?”
“I don’t feel well, so I overslept.” Angel lied.
Deborah looked at Angel, whose eyes were swollen and her face was pale. When Deborah saw that Angel looked sick, she softened her tone and said, “See the doctor if you’re not well. I’ll ask the driver to go to the hospital with you for a check-up.”
“There’s no need for that, Grandma. It’s not a big problem, I just need some rest.”
Angel was not sick, so she didn’t have to see the doctor at all and Deborah did not force her either, “You should have some breakfast first. You must have fallen sick because of your irregular schedule.”
Angel went to the dining hall after she agreed. Madelyn prepared breakfast for Angel out of goodwill. Since Deborah was in the living room, Angel did not even spare a glance at Madelyn before she sat down and began to eat breakfast.
She couldn’t have her meal in peace with Madelyn beside her, so she put down her cutleries after she drank half a glass of milk and ate a piece of bread. Madelyn asked with concern, “Is it because you don’t have an appetite? Do you want me to make some appetizers for you at noon?”
Angel glanced at Madelyn impatiently before she turned around and walked out of the dining hall without saying a word. When she walked out of the dining room, she received a message from Richard on the phone. “Hello, Ms. Floyd. I’m Richard. Can you meet me at noon?”
Angel saw the text message and immediately thought that she was seeing things. Then, she rubbed her eyes and looked at it carefully again. It was indeed Richard’s message.
Didn’t Richard block her before this? What did he mean by messaging me all of a sudden?”
Could it be that Richard changed his mind after he met Callum last night?
Callum must have put pressure on Richard. Since Richard certainly did not want Abbie to apologize to Azalea, he must’ve thought of taking the initiative to make peace with Angel.
Angel’s heart was pounding when she thought of this and she replied immediately. “Why do you want to meet me?”
“I want to talk to you about yesterday’s incident. Would you be able to come over?”
Sure enough, Angel did not refuse when she saw that Richard wanted to discuss what happened yesterday.
Richard gave her the address and Angel quickly walked upstairs to dress up.
Angel tried on all the pretty clothes in her wardrobe because she wanted to look good in front of Richard. If it weren’t for the time constraint, she would’ve gone to the beauty salon to do her hair and make-up.
After she looked at herself in the mirror and confirmed that she looked good, she took her bag and walked out.
Deborah was still in the living room. When she saw Angel dressing up beautifully, she frowned and asked, “Are you going out?”
“Yeah, my friend asked me to meet her.”
“Who? Is it Azalea? Let me tell you, Azalea is not a good person and you should stay away from her.”
“It’s not Azalea. Don’t worry, Grandma. I know what to do.” Deborah was puzzled when she saw Angel walk out of the door. Didn’t Angel look like she was sick just now? Why did it seem as though she had suddenly changed into another person?
Angel was very happy because she was about to meet Richard happily, but Richard was incredibly upset as he frowned.
He saw Braelynn’s message, “How is it? Have you arranged a meeting with Angel?”
“Yes!”
“Send me the address and I’ll be right there.”
“Braelynn, do you really want me to do this? Can you think for my sake? Do you really want me to meet someone as detestable as Angel?” Richard asked.
“This is absolutely necessary! You must meet Angel today and act as if you’re interested in her.”
“How can you ask me to do something so disgusting?”
“I don’t want to, but I just need a justified reason to hit Angel. Don’t you usually like to flirt with others? Can’t you seduce her?”
“Who said that I like to flirt around? I’ve always been pure and I’ve never done such things.” Richard denied.
“Alright, I know very well what kind of person you are. You don’t have to deny it and carry out your task well. I’ll give you a reward if you let me I give Angel a good beating.”
Richard felt slightly better when he saw that Braelynn was about to give him a reward. “What reward are you going to give me?”
“What do you want? I’ll treat you to a meal!”
How was that counted as a reward? Richard didn’t want that at all, so his gaze darkened when he saw her message.
What kind of reward was this? Other than holding hands with Braelynn, he hadn’t even kissed her.
What kind of relationship is this? He couldn’t be intimate with her even though he saw her every day. He wanted it badly, but he did not dare to do it.
He would’ve made a move if it were someone else, but Braelynn was different. She not only had martial arts skills, but William was her backer as well. These two reasons were enough to stop Richard from laying his hands on her.
Richard was so depressed when he entered the private room in the restaurant. Just as he sat down, the door of the room was pushed open and Angel wore a fancy dress as she entered.
She saw how dashing Richard looked and her gaze was transfixed. He was way too handsome!
Angel’s heart was pounding, but she suppressed the desire to pounce on Richard and said delicately, “Hello, Mr. Clark!”
“Hello, Ms. Floyd! Sit down.” Richard forced a smile when he saw Angel and pulled out a chair for her.
Angel sat down beside Richard and asked him with a charming smile, “I wonder what you’re planning to tell me?”
Richard wanted to throw up when he smelled Angel’s pungent perfume, so he moved aside quietly with an apologetic expression on his face.
“I’m here to talk to you about yesterday’s incident. My sister said some harsh things to you after she fought with Azalea, so I’m very sorry for that. My sister is mischievous and doesn’t know the severity of her actions. Please don’t take it to heart.”
“Mr. Clark, you’re too serious. Miss Clark did go too far yesterday and I was also very angry at the time. But since you came forward and showed such sincerity, I won’t blame her anymore.”
Richard swore in his heart when he saw Angel’s hypocritical look and suppressed his disgust while he praised her, “You’re so forgiving. Thank you very much for letting this go!”
“Mr. Clark, you’re welcome, but I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Well… I remember following you on Instagram, but I can’t seem to find your account anymore.”
