Angela interrupted her directly, her gaze tired and vicissitudes, "Don't say it."
"Angela."
Julia was still trying to convince her, “Just think about it. You can't leave the Dream Club anyway, and they are your colleagues. If you offend them now, life will be harder for you in the future......"
Half way through her sentence, she covered her mouth and apologized.
"I'm sorry."
"You're right, there's nothing to apologize for."
Angela lifted her eyes to look at her and murmured in a low voice.
"But what can I do? I just don't want to forgive them."
Julia tried to say something, but hesitated before saying.
"Just think about it, and then I'll return the money to them."
Angela was just about to say yes, but before she could open her mouth, the dormitory door was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and Lorenzo and his wife, who weren't supposed to be here, stood in the doorway.
Both of their faces were tinged with red, except that Lorenzo's face was red from anger, while Elva's eyes were red from crying.
Seeing Angela’s parents, Julia's eyes brightened and she quickly stood up, greeting them politely, "Mr. Lorenzo, Mrs. Elva, the two of you......"
Before she could finish her words, Lorenzo crossed over her and swung a slap directly at Angela.
Julia's red lips were slightly open, stunned by the scene in front of her.
But the slap didn't land on Angela's face. Angela stood barefoot on the ground, clutching the hand of Lorenzo swung at her, and said indifferently.
"Is Mr. Lorenzo always beating people up on sight, and is your refined temper an illusion?"
She could hardly imagine that this man used to hold her in his heart and spoil her, and no matter what ridiculous things she did to woo James, he would laugh it off and never blame her.
Now thinking about the past, what he did might not really be a favor, but an early idea to use her to bind with the Harvey family by marriage.
Otherwise, if he really loved her as a daughter, why would he treat her like an outcast at the first sign of trouble?
"Let me go!" Lorenzo roared, trying to continue that slap.
However, Angela's strength was so great that it was difficult to even withdraw his hand, making it unusually awkward to move in and out.
Angela snickered, ''Let go and then let Mr. Lorenzo beat me again?
I'm sorry, but I'm not stupid."
"You--" Panting heavily in anger, Lorenzo pointed his empty hand at her and said.
"How could our Chante Family have such a shameless daughter like you?!"
Even after telling herself to stop getting her hopes high for her Dad, hearing his words at this point of time, Angela still felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
She licked her dry lips, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Lorenzo kicked me out of the Chante Family two years ago, so technically, I'm not one of your Chante Family member anymore."
Hearing this, Lorenzo's eyes were widely opened. He was so angry that he did not utter a word for a long time.
Julia watched this scene, not knowing what came to her mind. She bit her lips, and her eyes were obscure, as if she was desperately trying to hold back something.
Fearing that Lorenzo would have a heart attack, Angela seldom said these words to anger him, but at this moment, her father was too angry to speak, and this subtle feeling of revenge made Angela feel painful yet pleasurable.
