The scar-faced man nodded repeatedly and said, "Understood. I've been fucking played by Linda. I promise she won't get away with this!"
If Linda had told him how capable Angeline was and how many men she had, he would have asked for an extra 500 thousand dollars to be fully prepared.
Fortunately, he hadn't done anything to harm Angeline. Judging by her appearance, she had great influence and was not someone to mess with.
Angeline got into Danny's car and headed back.
Danny reprimanded, "How could Simon's savior be such a despicable person? How could she let her manager do such a thing? I won't let her off so easily!"
"If I'm right, Ingrid probably doesn't know about this," said Angeline as she looked out of the window into the night indifferently.
"Ingrid has always been innocent like a pure white lily."
Even if it was all an act.
"You're Ned's ex-wife, and he is now Ingrid's fiancé! Who else could it be if not Ingrid? You always assume others are kind like you," Danny said, frowning.
"If you weren't careful today, you know what would have happened to you!"
"From what I know about Ingrid, she would turn a blind eye at most but never be the one to orchestrate it."
Angeline growled. It was the same with Tommy's case back then.
"But since Linda is Ingrid's manager, we shall also include Ingrid's name in the trending article!"
…
Linda panickedly hung up the phone. Inwardly, she was criticizing Scarface for his incapability.
When Angeline answered the call, her voice had been calm and composed, indicating that Scarface hadn't succeeded and had likely been caught instead.
Ingrid stepped out of the shower and saw Linda pacing by the windowed doors.
