Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1026

Scarlet’s eyes unconsciously landed on Angela’s back and she heaved a silent sigh as she thought, I wonder whether this girl would be able to stop Richard from joining his next mission. Would he give up for her sake?

Despite the outcome, this was ultimately one of Scarlet’s agenda tonight. She was determined to get Angela to talk Richard into giving up his current mission. This was the only wish she had as she didn’t want to lose her son.

Another woman strode over quickly to stand by Scarlet as she reported in a low voice, “Madam Falkner, the vice president is occupied with some guests, so he won’t be able to make it tonight.”

Scarlet nodded. “Sure, I’ve noticed that. Please invite Miss Angela into my dressing room ten minutes later.”

This was a traditional formal banquet, so each guest in attendance dressed up to

the nines. At that moment, there were a lot of people who shone in their respective industries gathered inside the hall.

Angela was used to attending traditional banquets so she stood gracefully and with poise next to She became the center of attention of people inside the room and most people were also quite interested in the tall, handsome man by her side.

Richard had hardly appeared with Scarlet. So, many of the guests didn’t realize that Richard was Scarlet’s only son.

“Richard,” Suddenly, a low male voice rang out.

He instantly stood up and greeted the man politely. “Uncle Walter.”

Walter Falkner was Scarlet’s current husband and they didn’t have any children of their own all this while so they had adopted a girl since she was a child. Walter was an elegant man who carried himself with an impressive aura. He had fallen in love at first sight with Scarlet and since their marriage, he had always respected her profession and her choices in life.

This was also the reason why Richard was so respectful and polite toward his supposed stepfather.
