Her Precious Baby

Chapter 261

Meanwhile, at Golding Group, the news anchor's zestful voice sounded from the television's speaker, announcing the news about Angeline's departure from the entertainment industry.

Many fans who supported her for many years couldn't accept her abrupt exit, and since they couldn't locate Angeline's house, they vented their anger at her company.

The fans had camped at the company's entrance for a few days, seeking a just explanation.

Evander. who was sitting on the couch while wearing a grimace, finished watching the news announcement. After that, he picked up the remote control and switched off the television.

His facial expression appeared frozen amidst the momentary silence.

He reckoned he must be somehow related to why she suddenly made that decision.

In addition, Floretta had been missing Angeline and yearning to meet the latter since Evander broke up with Angeline. Still, Angeline had not gone to the school to visit Floretta once.

It was apparent that Angeline must really hate him to the core, to the extent of resorting to eliminating all possible occasions where they might run into one another.

Sylas, who was standing behind Evander. let out a long sigh after taking in that scene.

“Mi: Golding, don't be too worried. Ms. Sorelie is a brilliant woman, so she wouldn't drive herself to the brink of desperation. I heard she has taken over Forrester Group.”

Evander's darkened expression brightened a little after he heard Sylas' words.

Getting to his feet, he walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window and gazed at the traffic jam outside, his hands placed behind his back.

“How is Angeline doing now?”

Sylas replied solemnly, “Aside from taking over Forrester Group, she's also hiring a lawyer to engage in a lawsuit recently. I heard her entertainment company is very furious about her abrupt departure and is trying to maximize the profit they can gain from Angeline by making unreasonable demands.”

Angeline has always been well-protected by Nancy and has never experienced the harshness of the entertainment industiy. I suppose she must be scared out of her wits now.

Evander's countenance, which was reflected in the window, was frighteningly grim.

“Arrange someone from Golding Group's PR department to liaise with the entertainment company and help her resolve this penalty issue for breaching the contract as soon as possible.”

Sylas fell into a momentary daze upon hearing that. He contemplated briefly before saying cautiously, “Mr. Golding, it seems you are still unable to let go of your feelings for Ms. Sorelle...”

His remark was spot on.

Despite liis poker face. Evander shut his eyes to conceal the complicated emotions churning within him.

“Be quiet,” he uttered coldly.

“Yes, Mr. Golding.” Sylas fathomed Evander's intention and said politely, “I'll cany out your orders immediately.”

When he reached the dooiway, Evander's deep voice rang again inside the spacious office. "Do it anonymously, and don't alert Angeline.”

Sylas was rendered speechless.

He felt bitter and aggrieved on Evander's behalf after listening to the latter's instruction.

He had never seen Evander stooping so low and doing so much in the background for a woman, to the point of not even daring to help her openly.

However, from Angeline's perspective, everything Evander had done for her didn't seem much.

Nevertheless, fairness was nonexistent in a relationship, so long as both parties did not wrong each other.

Lately. Angeline had been leading a rougher life than before. The only thing she was gratefill for was the fact that Sebastian's illness was beginning to improve under the psychologist's counsel.

That had allowed her to do what she had to without worry.

Hanson was a scheming and devious man who would never easily let go of anything or anyone remunerative to him, especially since the previous live commerce session managed to bring Forrester Group's financial status back on track.

Hence, he would never give up on that moneymaker.

Therefore, Angeline knew it wasn't sufficient for her to rely only on her own strength.

While at a loss, she received an unexpected yet timely call from someone.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, fewer customers were inside the cafe, and euphonious Ustranasion music reverberated inside the store.

Angeline was dressed in a black trench coat adorned with handcrafted embroideries paired with a pair of long jeans and black high-heels. She slowly made her way toward one of the window seats.

Gazing at the man wrho had waited for her for some time, she lifted her finger and gently tapped the tabletop.

“It's been a while.”

Hearing her voice, he looked up from his phone and smiled at her. “If it isn't Ms. Angeline Sorelle! You've become quite a sensation on the internet recently.”

His voice was loud, but fortunately, only a few’ youngsters absorbed in their work were nearby, and they paid no attention to his words.

“Shh!”

Angeline gestured for him to be quiet while glaring at him.

“Jonathan, are you planning to take a video of me getting mauled by my haters so you can post it on the internet? Don't you think the current situation is sufficiently terrible as it is?”

Hearing that, Jonathan nodded seriously and said sarcastically with liis brows arched. “That's what I have in mind. If I make a live stream of a famous celebrity who had just announced her departure from the entertainment industiy getting beaten up inside a cafe, I can definitely rake in big bucks.”

Angeline snorted angrily and pretended to pick up her bag to leave.

Jonathan's chuckle, which sounded from behind her, halted her in time from walking away.

“That's enough. I'm just kidding. Are you really going to take my joke seriously and be offended, considering I'm your life savior?”

“Quit flattering yourself.”

Angeline also understood they were meeting up to discuss serious matters, so she sensibly returned to her seat, poured herself a glass of water, and gulped the content.

“Not to mention, you weren't the one who rushed into the house to save Sebastian and me that night during the fire.”

A hint of mockery flashed across his eyes as he gazed at her. He reminded her while grinning, “That's right. I wasn't as ready to go all out for you as Evander. He even told his assistant to allocate his inheritance when rescuing you.”

Jonathan wasn't sure to what stage Angeline and Evander's relationship had progressed to, so he casually mentioned those words.

However, liis words stirred Angeline's emotions once more after she had finally calmed her feelings with much difficulty.

Evander had safeguarded her too well in the past. Because of that, she had a hard time forgetting the hurtful words he had directed to her at home that night.

She couldn't bring herself to hate him. but she was also unwilling to remind herself of anything related to him.

“Let's not talk about him.” Angeline grasped the glass with her cold fingers. “Let's get down to business. How do you plan to deal with Hanson? I suppose you must already have a plan, don't you?”

After he heard those words, Jonathan's teasing smile faded instantaneously as intense hatred filled liis gaze.

“Judging by how well I know Hanson. I'm sure he influenced Joseline to do those despicable deeds. Yet, his wife is the only person to face retribution in the end. I can't accept this outcome.”

Angeline asked impassively, “So, what's the plan?”

She didn't deny Jonathan's hypothesis as she was very familiar with Hanson's character too. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Still, those were unimportant to her.

Jonathan leaned forward and stared at Angeline sinisterly. Then, he said firmly, “Hanson will definitely find ways to approach you after you return to Forrester Group. All you need to do is exploit him into organizing a product launch. I'll handle the rest.”
