There was an air of elegance and poise that came quite naturally to Scarlet and one could feel quite pressured to be in front of Scarlet.
“Relax. I’m not here to criticize you. I like you very much and I’m pleased that you’re in love with my son. I would never interfere in your relationship with each other,” Scarlet comforted Angela kindly.
Hearing that, Angela’s nervous feeling dissipated instantly and she felt that Scarlet was such a gracious and warm person. Although Scarlet was already in her fifties, she still looked charmingly attractive and she was quite a stunner.
At that moment, Angela realized that Richard had inherited his good looks from his mother and there was, in fact, a strong resemblance there!
“Angela, forgive me for conducting some investigations on you. That’s why I have an understanding of your personality. I’ve something important to ask you for help with, though.”
Angela nodded earnestly. “Sure, Ms. Husson.”
“I’m sure that you must know by now that Richard’s father passed away when he was a young child. His father had been brutally slain on a mission. Because of that, Richard had harbored hatred in his mind all this while.”
Angela’s expression stiffened suddenly and she recalled that Richard had mentioned to her that he had an important matter that he had to deal with soon. Could that possibly be related to his father?
She didn’t direct her question at Scarlet but continued to listen to Scarlet speak with a tensed feeling.
“Right now, the person who brutally murdered his father has kidnapped an important member in our research team. His uncle and I have tried our best to stop him from joining the mission but he insists on going.
All of us are aware that he is going after the man with an intention to exact revenge. This renders the mission to be of a totally different nature than his previous missions. He would quite possibly lose his cool and go all in to kill that man.”
