Angelia’s heart skipped a beat and turned to look at Echo in surprise.
She kept trying to locate Claudia to get back her identity.
But now that they have some information on her whereabouts, she actually felt at a loss.
“Found her?”
Echo nodded. After he obtained those few photos, he engaged some people to look in S city and managed to find some leads.
“They are still in S city.” He stretched his hand and held onto Angelia.
“Once we find her you will be able to leave Jonathan.”
Angelia looked at him in surprise. The paperweight in her hands seems to be like a boulder crushing her heart.
Echo thought that she was worried about Jonathan’s revenge.
“Once we get her back, we’ll go overseas together and Jonathan will never find us. At the orphanage, I will…”
Before he could finish, the commotion of the garden spread over.
“I’ve already said that Zach is a scoundrel.”
“Angela doesn’t have anyone to blame but herself, luckily nothing happened.”
“How disgusting that he dared to do this in front of so many people.”
Angelia was curious and walked over and the crowd hurriedly cleared a path for her.
Angela’s hair was in a mess and lowered her head and cried. Her shoulders were covered by Jonathan’s jacket.
From her angle, it looked as if Angela was in his embrace.
Angelia stopped and very quickly Jonathan looked over.
His eyes looked down slowly and saw Echo holding onto Angelia’s hand. His expression immediately changed. He brushed off Angela, and stepped forward but was held back.
“Jonathan…”
She grabbed tightly onto Jonathan’s clothes and cried.
“I’m frightened, please don’t go.”
Jonathan’s eyes flared as he fixated onto Angelia and stepped forward another step.
Angela cried again.
“Jonathan, please don’t leave, didn’t you say that you’ll protect me?”
Jonathan paused and his fists were clenched so tightly they trembled and his eyes were red with fury.
When Angelia saw them, she slowly let go of Echo’s hand and looked at him from a distance.
Jonathan turned and took Angela away with him.
Those onlookers started to disperse.
Once Jonathan left, they started to discuss what had happened and occasionally glanced at Angelia.
“Looks like she is not the one he loves.”
“It was rumored that the marriage was forced, who will do it willingly?”
“What’s this known as? Eating the forbidden fruit?”
“Forget it, she is now the legal wife, so what if she isn’t loved? Are you willing to do it?”
Echo looked angrily at everyone around. They turned around in fear and stopped gossiping.
He turned and looked at the expressionless Angelia.
“Angelia.”
He stretched out his hand and wanted to pull her.
Angelia turned and avoided his hand. “I’m leaving.”
Echo ran over to her. “I’ll send you.”
He walked a couple of steps and the steward hurried over and said sternly. He approached Angelia and glared at Echo. “Missus, Master asked me to send you home.”
“What about Jonathan?”
The steward lowered his head.
“Master… he has something on and left.”
“He sent Angela home?” Angelia asked in return.
Just as the steward wanted to answer, Angelia placed the paperweight onto his hands.
“Let’s go home.”
The steward was surprised to see the precious item in his hands.
“Missus, then what about this…”
Angelia walked out without looking back, “Just find a place and keep it.”
