Chapter 106 Twelve–Month Installment.
Horace was in a state of panic as he caught the photos, and his face fell after a glance. Then, he advanced in anger, gritting his teeth as he demanded, “Did you have someone follow me?”
Angela chuckled. I’m just a student, what power do I have to track you? These photos were sent to Queenie by someone. Lina Trace wants to cause trouble, so she sent the photo of you two together. What are her intentions? You guys are truly despicable! While you’re out fooling around, your mother is here, insulting my cousin. Do you think our family is defenseless? To think that my cousin has been so kind to you… Have you lost all sense of decency?”
“Angela, this is between me and Queenie. You shouldn’t meddle too much.” Horace’s expression darkened, a mix of anger and embarrassment.
As Angela spoke confidently, he was unsure if she was lying to him or if the photo was indeed from Lina. He and Lina had always shared a mutual understanding of physical pleasure. However, Lina had mentioned her desire to settle down as she was getting older at the age of twenty–seven, which made it plausible for her to scheme against him in this manner.
Angela pursed her lips and remarked sarcastically. “Your mother is pretending to be ill just to use Uncle Donald to ask me for money, isn’t she? How much do you want? I’ll give it to you.”
Horace paused, gazing at Angela, and asked, “What do you mean?”
“It’s simple, if you divorce Queenie, I’ll give you the money.” Angela said casually, exuding ant air of confidence. “Although I don’t understand why you’re in such dire need of money, 1 assume time is running out for the other party, right?”
Otherwise, Horace wouldn’t have resorted to such a plan, having his mother feign illness and then seeking money from Donald. With such a substantial sum at stake, if Donald couldn’t come up with it, he would inevitably turn to her for help.
Thanks to Axel’s recent surveillance, she was well–informed about Horace’s recent activities.
Horace furrowed his brows, scrutinized Angela, and suddenly smiled. “Fine, if you want me to divorce your cousin, I’ll agree to it, but it will cost you 24,000!”
“No problem. Once you bring up the divorce to Queenie, go through with the proceedings, and I’ll give you the money,” Angela responded promptly, her lips curling into a grin.
“Give me the money upfront, or there will be no divorce.”
Angela frowned, feigning hesitation. “What if you take the money and then refuse to

“What do you propose, then?”

With a flirtatious look, Angela suggested in a clear voice, “Since you’re in business, don’t you emphasize deposits in contracts? I’ll give you a 1,200 deposit first and transfer it to you now. Once you and my cousin arrive at the city hall and finalize the divorce, I guarantee you that the remaining money will be in your account immediately after you leave the city hall.”
Horace smacked his lips, furrowed his brows, and glanced at Angela, whose face displayed innocence. She’s just a naive girl who hasn’t experienced the real world yet, he thought. She’s so easy to manipulate.
He could agree to the,
divorce because he could easily devise a plan to remarry Queenie. After years of marriage, he knew her like the back of his hand. She was merely a beautiful ornament; a traditional woman who viewed her husband as her world, dedicated to managing the household.
In recent years, she had been compliant in everything. With a little effort, he could easily persuade her to remarry. Moreover, as a woman, as long as she had children and he could control them, he was sure that Queenie would allow him to do as he pleased.
Horace was brimming with pride, acting as if he already had Queenie under his control and Angela was his cash cow. “Well, I’ll trust you this time, considering you’re Queenie’s cousin,” he said and left, feeling at ease.
As he departed, Angela stared at his retreating figure, cursing him and his ancestors. After venting her anger, she took a deep breath and checked her bank balance to see how much money she had left.
Upon calculation, she found out that she only had a little over two hundred remaining. How could she make up
the remaining sum? She pondered and considered borrowing from Oliver. No, she could it anytime soon.
As she tried to calm herself down, the call suddenly connected, and Jonathan’s deep, magnetic voice said, “Angela?”
The secretary immediately fell silent, afraid to make a sound, thinking in amazement, Wow, just now the boss’s voice was so gentle, not at all the usual emotionless tone. He called her Angela… Is it a girl on the phone?
