Chapter 33
Angeline thanked Taylor as she got into the car.
She borrowed a charging cable from him and finally got her phone charged.
Upon turning it on, she saw over 60 missed calls. Except for two missed calls from Anne, the others were from the same number.
It was Ned.
Angeline tightly gripped her phone and wondered about Ned’s intention for making multiple calls.
Was it because he had found out she hadn’t slept with the man in the room he had arranged for her? Or
because he had found out she wasn’t with Zachary?
Whatever the reason was, it couldn’t be out of concern.
Angeline smiled self–mockingly and dialed Anne’s number.
“Angie!” Anne sounded excited when she answered the call, but she still spoke in a hushed tone.
“Angie, the police said everything’s cleared up, and Ms. Dalton said there’s no need for any compensation. I’ve
been released. I’m at the hotel arranged by the production team now.”
“Which hotel are you at? I’ll come over now,” Angeline said.
Feeling anxious that the Emmersons might bother Angeline, Anne hurriedly replied, “Don’t, please don’t come.
The Emmersons are also here.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine now. I’ll go back after the recording. But… I’m not sure if I can give Ned the photos.”
Angeline clenched her fists and felt a sting in her palm. Only then did she realize her palm was bruised from the night before. She whispered, “Throw away those photos, Anne. Ned and I are divorced. We have nothing to
do with each other now.”
Anne was stunned.
