Chapter 120
On Ned’s birthday, Ingrid had looked at Angeline imperceptibly when she refused to attend Ned’s birthday party. That was what had triggered Ned.
When Anne passed away, Ingrid stood in the doorway of the morgue and righteously rebuked Ned for pushing Anne, intending to make Angeline fall out with Ned completely. Angeline knew it all.
She thought Ingrid had only used those means because she truly loved Ned.
After all, at that time, Angeline had already decided to dump Ned.
However, everyone in Oceanford knew Ingrid and Tommy were very close.
Tommy had been humiliating and bullying Angeline for over two years. She believed Ingrid wasn’t the one who instructed Tommy. Ingrid didn’t encourage Tommy, but she had always turned a blind eye to his doings and condoned his actions.
Because of her indulgence, Tommy ended up drugging Angeline and hiring people to bully Henrietta.
After Angeline fled from Emmerson Village, the tragedy began after she got involved with Ned and Ingrid.
She was in no hurry, though.
Angeline had promised Henrietta that she would avenge her, and she would never go back on her words.
None of them could escape.
Angeline let out a deep breath. She raised a hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes and started going through her materials again.
She had asked Ned just now if he had anything else against her to check if he had truly regained his memories.
Just as she had expected, Ned could only remember parts of them, but he had yet to regain all his memories.
That was why Ned had no idea about her real relationship with the Lawson family.
Ned was merely bluffing in the hotel room of River Town.
Even if Ned regained all his memories, he might not know who Angeline’s biological mother was.
After all, when Sean had come to talk to her on that Christmas night eight years ago, Ned might not have heard the whole conversation while he was eavesdropping.
After seeing Angeline, Ned went back to his room and called Ingrid’s manager, Linda. He told her that the matter had been resolved.
“Has Ms. Emmerson signed the non-disclosure agreement?” Linda asked tentatively.
“She didn’t, and she doesn’t want the endorsement fees or any other compensation.” Ned pinched his forehead tiredly. “Let’s just end this here.”
“How could this be, Mr. Fletcher? If Ms. Emmerson didn’t sign the non-disclosure agreement, this would be a ticking time bomb for Ingrid. It’ll go off at any time!” Linda would prefer it if Angeline wanted money. As long as Angeline took the money, they could push the blame on her if the incident was exposed.
“With Angeline’s personality, if she said that she won’t reveal it, then she won’t!”
On the other end of the phone, Ingrid stood next to Linda. When she heard how irritated he sounded, she took the phone from Linda and said gently, “You’ve worked hard, Ned! I’m sorry for causing you such trouble this time. I believe in Angie, so don’t listen to Linda! I’m planning to meet Mr. Norwalk when I get a chance so that I can explain to him. I can’t take the credit for what Angie did.”
Ned softened when he heard her. “I know that you’ve always been a kind person. To prevent further trouble in the future, it would be better to explain things to Norwalk Corporation.” “Okay, Ned! Come back soon,” Ingrid replied in a sweet voice. “I’ll be done with shooting by next week. Can you come and meet the wedding dress designer with me?”
