Chapter 117

Ingrid was furious.
When Linda saw Ingrid looking at her with widened eyes and an aggrieved expression, she tried to calm down before speaking.
“Do you know how much your popularity has soared because of Norwalk? The moment you clarify and say that Mr. Fletcher’s ex-wife was the one who saved Mr. Norwalk, then all the affairs between you, Mr. Fletcher, and his ex-wife will be revealed at once. Don’t you remember what happened two years ago? Someone splashed paint on your front door, and you didn’t even dare to go out. As soon as you clarify, the cyberbullying will be worse than ever!”
Ingrid thought about what had happened two years ago. She bit her lower lip hard, and her eyes reddened.
Ned had already called Angeline five or six times, but her phone remained off. It was the same even when he tried calling with another phone.
Ned tried to call Gregory and found that his phone was off too. That was when he remembered his mother had mentioned that Gregory and James would be heading to Dmont for an exchange today. He wondered if Angeline had also left for Dmont.
Ned furrowed his brows tightly. He called Ingrid first.
“Don’t worry, baby, I’ll take care of this. Relax. I won’t let Angeline speak up about this.” Ned’s voice was gentle and comforting.
On the other end of the phone, Ingrid choked out, “I’m sorry, Ned. I… I’ve caused you trouble again!”
“I’m your fiancé. I’m just doing what I should!”
“I… I still feel very guilty. If it wasn’t for me, you would be Angie’s. Now I’m taking credit for something she did. I feel really sorry for Angie.” Ingrid began sobbing.
“I was yours to begin with! Besides, you didn’t take her credit on purpose! Linda is right. You’re in the entertainment industry, and you need these resources! Angeline doesn’t need them! We can just give her money! Don’t worry… I’ll take care of it! Baby, don’t cry!”
After hanging up, Ned sent someone to investigate Angeline’s whereabouts.
Just as he had guessed, she had gone to Dmont.
“Book me the first flight to Dmont,” Ned said.
Angeline had just checked into the hotel when Sean called.
“Is it going well?”
“Yes, very well. I’ve checked into the hotel.” Angeline pulled the curtains open and looked at the view.
“Do you have morning sickness?”
Angeline had not experienced any morning sickness since she was pregnant.
“No. The baby is an angel and doesn’t bother me at all.”
Angeline’s tone softened involuntarily when she mentioned her baby.
“That’s good, then.” There was a hint of a smile in Sean’s voice. “Once I’m done with things here, I’ll visit you and the baby.”
“You’re in a special situation at the moment. It’ll be safer for you to stay there. Lawson Global is in a critical situation right now, and you’re the pillar of the company. You mustn’t let anything happen to you. I’ll take care of the baby,” Angeline said. “Besides, you’ve already taken care of everything for me. Tanisha is very familiar with this place, and she’s already contacted the hospitals in Dmont and Grand Ckrodtria for me.”
“We still need to register our marriage,” Sean said slowly. “Don’t worry. I have plans.”
“Okay. I’ll hang up if there isn’t anything else. I need to go through my materials again.”
“Angeline Sean called out with a tinge of longing in his rich voice. “Take care of yourself.” “Okay. You too.”
After ending the call, Angeline opened her suitcase. She started arranging the materials that James would need for the conference the next day.
The heating made the room very warm. She was dressed in a slightly baggy, v-necked khaki sweater and slim-fit pants. Her hair was pinned up behind her head. She looked very gentle and erudite. She didn’t look pregnant at all.
