"Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Reilly told me Fletcher Corporation had leaked Vitality Biotech Group's formula. Oh, was it your cousin-in-law, Tommy, who did it?" Angeline mocked. "I wonder how you'll save your cousin-in-law this time, Mr. Fletcher. Or is it the 30 billion dollars of liquidated damage that Fletcher Corporation has to pay you're worrying about?"
"How did you know?" Ned stared at Angeline. "Did Danny tell you?"
Angeline let out a cold laugh and walked toward Ned before jeering, "Let's see how far you'll go for Ms. Dalton. Are you going to sacrifice your whole company to save her precious cousin? I'm so curious!"
Angeline walked past Ned after mocking him.
"You were drinking." Ned grabbed Angeline's arm. "Here, I'll send you home."
"If you have the time to send your ex-wife home, you should think about how to save Fletcher Corporation, Mr. Fletcher!" Angeline said as she pulled her arm away.
As Ned watched Angeline call and get in a taxi, he closed his eyes and clenched his fist.
Angeline received a call from Danny as she got in the taxi.
"Hello, Boss! It seems like Ned still has feelings for you! Just look at how protective he was toward you!" Danny still sounded slightly drunk.
"Do you want me to tell Heather?" Angeline asked nonchalantly.
"Boss, please don't! I'm just calling to ask if your ex-husband is Yasmine and Xavier's biological dad?" Danny asked.
"No, he's not," Angeline answered honestly. "You've drank too much tonight. Remember to take some hangover medicine and rest well. I'm sure Ned will find you to discuss private settlement."
"So, should I tell him you're the founder of Vitality Biotech Group?" Danny asked.
Angeline would never forget the incident four years ago. At a hotel in River Town, Ned had threatened Angeline not to send Tommy to jail by sending the Emmersons to cause trouble at the Lawson residence.
