The two friends then discussed their current affairs. When Richard mentioned that he was ready to take his revenge. Elliot’s face immediately turned serious before he gave his advice. “Richard, I know how you’re feeling, but you must not act rashly.”
“Even though my uncle tried to stop me, I’m not going to comply with his arrangements. I’ll handle things with that person in my own way.” The words came from Richard, whose eyes were as cold as knives and without the slightest sign of compromise.
“If you need my help, just say the word.” Elliot was aware that he could not be persuaded once he had made up his mind, but could not help worrying.
Richard shook his head. ‘Not right now.. I’m still preparing everything, so it’s not the right time yet.”
In the meantime, Angela returned to the room and was back in her seat. She intended to keep a low profile as she listened to her family discuss trivial matters of their daily lives. When Annie. approached her with an inquisitive attitude and leaned next to her, she asked, “Angela, where’ve you been? You’ve been gone for quite some time.”
“I-I ran into an old friend and we chatted for a while.” She could not bring herself to look Annie in the eyes.
The two sisters fit into two distinct categories of stunning beauty. Annie had. a face that was both beautiful and delicate, like that of a baby. In contrast, Angela had an oval face that was sophisticated and glamorous..
Angela still couldn’t enjoy the meal she was eating because her mind and heart weren’t in the right place. She got a text message right then and was so bored that she decided to look at it, although she thought it was probably a spam message. She inhaled deeply as she read the text message. “This is my private number. Remember to save it. She didn’t have to guess who sent this. Fearing that this message would be seen by others, she quickly hid it by covering her phone with her hand.
At that moment, she overheard her mom talking. “Dad, there are so many fine young gentlemen around you; perhaps you can introduce Angela to some of them. She’s old enough to get married,” Daphne spoke to Joshua.
