Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 235

Robert removed his reading glasses and casually threw the unfinished documents aside.

He picked up his teacup and said, "I think Angeline should stay away from people related to Ned. Nothing good ever comes from encountering him."

"There's no need to rush this matter. As you said, Ms. Angeline didn't admit to having a boyfriend today, which probably means they're still getting to know each other. Perhaps Ms. Angeline will find Mr. Hooper interesting at your birthday banquet!"

Robert nodded in agreement.

"Then should we continue investigating Ms. Angeline?" Asher asked.

Thinking back to how upset Sean was when he had someone follow her before, Robert knew too well not to repeat the same mistake.

"No, stop the investigation. We don't want Angeline to be upset if she finds out."

"Alright."

…

After finishing their meal, Angeline, Danny, and Simon left the restaurant.

The weather had turned cooler all of a sudden. Simon gallantly removed his suit jacket and draped it over Angeline's shoulders. A warm smile reached his charming gray eyes.

"Okay, that's enough!" said Danny with hands shoved in his trouser pockets while raising an eyebrow.

At the sight of his displeased expression, Angeline joked, "So that's why you're still single."

Danny was rendered speechless.

"I sincerely hope you'll consider joining our team," Simon said earnestly.

Angeline signaled to Danny when she saw the black Passat parked on the roadside.

She didn't return Simon's suit jacket as she anticipated some inconvenience later.

"I'll return the jacket next time we meet."

The driver screamed in agony as his arm dislocated.

Danny got out of his car, loosened his tie, opened the driver's door, and pulled him out.

"Boss, we can't escape anymore!"

The scar-faced man grabbed a club and pushed open the door.

"What else can we do? Let's fight!"

The four other men inside the Passat grabbed weapons and got out of the car, only to find the cab driver thrown into the midst of the encirclement.

Standing in front of the car lights, Angeline buttoned up Simon's jacket while Danny and his men surrounded the five individuals who had stepped out of the Passat.
