Angela took a deep breath and said coldly, “Dad and Mom are right, Dexter. I’m out of your league.
You’re a dirty, disgusting scoundrel. Never show yourself in front of me again. I never want to see you.”
“What are you talking about, Angela? Did your parents tell you something? I love you. I promise I won’t
fall for anyone else. Is that not enough?” Dexter was starting to sound anxious and panicked.
“You won’t fall for anyone else? Yeah right. You hooked up with someone you just met on the plane. My
mother paid you to leave me. She probably gave you millions, but you… you wanted to take everything
they have. That’s crossing the line.”
“H-How did you know about that, Angela? No! S-She seduced me! It’s not my fault!” Dexter was
panicking now.
“Either you give the money back, or I’ll make you. Make your choice. You have three days, Refuse, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’ll sue you,” she warned him. Angela was finally starting to act like the rich lady she was after she
snapped out of it.
Dexter dropped his act at once and sneered. “Your mother gave me the money, Angela. I won’t give it
back. You have no grounds to sue me.”
“Oh, I’m sure my father can do something about that. And I know a lot of people who’d love to help my
family. Either you give my mother the money back, or you’re getting it,” she threatened.
“You can’t do this, Angela. My mother’s sick. She needs the money. Can I have it for now? I’ll pay you
back, please!” Scared, Dexter was making a last-ditch effort to scam some money.
“You have three days. Make your choice.” She hung up and closed her eyes for a few moments. When
she opened them again, they were gleaming brightly. She was no longer the woman controlled by love.
Angela turned around and handed the phone back to Richard. “Thank you.”
Richard squinted. He was surprised that she could become so tough and calm in mere moments, but
he was happy for her.
“I hope you’ll find that lipstick as soon as possible.” Angela thought that the lipstick was the key item for
this change in her life. She wouldn’t have met Richard if it wasn’t because of the lipstick, and she might
have had her whole life ruined by Dexter. But now I’m saved.
Richard left her room. He just remembered that he had some reports to attend to, so he went to the
room where his team members were. Just when he was about to go inside, he heard his team
members’ discussion.
“She’s only played like a fiddle because she thirsts for love. Her father’s an official, and her mother’s a
businesswoman. They don’t have time for her.”
“It’s a blessing and a curse to be born to that family. Good thing we saved her in time and stopped that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma*shole from doing further damage.”
“It’s fate. She wouldn’t have picked the lipstick up if she hadn’t run into that burglar. I think even God
doesn’t want her to live her life in a lie.”
Trevor was keeping an eye on the surveillance camera footage, and he suddenly exclaimed, “Sh*t!
Some underworld guys just smuggled themselves into the homeland.”
Richard came in as well, much to everyone’s shock. Can you stop showing up all of a sudden?
“I want to know who they are,” Richard ordered.
Trevor tapped away on the keyboard and plugged some faces into the recognition system. Their details
were shown a moment later. “Highly dangerous individuals. Wanted worldwide.”
Richard frowned. He said, “Tell the dark web we’ve found the lipstick. See if that’ll make them leave.”
“I tried it, but they told us the thief installed a port identification system in the lipstick. They’ll only give
up if the lipstick’s unsealed.”
