Angeline hung up the phone. She then organized her notes from the conference earlier in the day and planned to deliver them to James.
But when she opened the door, she was greeted with the sight of Ned, who was about to press the doorbell to her room.
Angeline's expression turned stoic.
"Leave me alone, Ned!"
"Simon, huh? You're that close to him already?" Ned jeered.
"I'm warning you, Angeline. You better stay away from that Simon guy. Someone with your background shouldn't even imagine being with him!
"Also, I told you to get an abortion. So do it right now!"
Angeline scoffed.
"Where do you get off telling me what to do? Let me tell you something, Ned Fletchers. When I cared about you, I would do anything you asked. Now that I don't give a shit about you, you're… you're nothing to me!"
Ned grabbed Angeline's arm and pulled forcefully, causing her notes to scatter all over the floor.
"Those are my babies in your belly. I have the right to decide if they should be born!" Ned shouted.
The doors opposite and beside Angeline's room swung open. Multiple bulky bodyguards walked out of the rooms and surrounded Angeline and Ned.
"Mr. Fletcher, please let go of Ms. Emmerson," one of the bodyguards said.
Angeline knew they were the bodyguards Sean had sent to protect her.
"Who are these people?"
Ned squeezed Angeline's arm even tighter and asked, "Is he the guy you're marrying? Who is he?"
"Haven't you recovered your memories? Don't you remember who's helping me?" Angeline yelled.
Ned turned red from anger.
"You're coming with me! You're not giving birth to the babies!"
Ned dragged Angeline and glared at the bodyguards.
"Out of the way!"
"Let go of me, Ned!"
