Chapter 130

Angeline hung up the phone. She then organized her notes from the conference earlier in the day and planned to deliver them to James.
But when she opened the door, she was greeted with the sight of Ned, who was about to press the doorbell to her room.
Angeline’s expression turned stoic.
“Leave me alone, Ned!”
“Simon, huh? You’re that close to him already?” Ned jeered.
“I’m warning you, Angeline. You better stay away from that Simon guy. Someone with your background shouldn’t even imagine being with him!
“Also, I told you to get an abortion. So do it right now!”
Angeline scoffed.
“Where do you get off telling me what to do? Let me tell you something, Ned Fletchers. When I cared about you, I would do anything you asked. Now that I don’t give a shit about you, you’re… you’re nothing to me!”
Ned grabbed Angeline’s arm and pulled forcefully, causing her notes to scatter all over the floor.
“Those are my babies in your belly. I have the right to decide if they should be born!” Ned shouted.
The doors opposite and beside Angeline’s room swung open. Multiple bulky bodyguards walked out of the rooms and surrounded Angeline and Ned.
“Mr. Fletcher, please let go of Ms. Emmerson,” one of the bodyguards said.
Angeline knew they were the bodyguards Sean had sent to protect her.
“Who are these people?”
Ned squeezed Angeline’s arm even tighter and asked, “Is he the guy you’re marrying? Who is he?”
“Haven’t you recovered your memories? Don’t you remember who’s helping me?” Angeline yelled.
Ned turned red from anger.
“You’re coming with me! You’re not giving birth to the babies!”
Ned dragged Angeline and glared at the bodyguards.
“Out of the way!”
“Let go of me, Ned!”
Angeline struggled against him.
The leading bodyguard said, “No one is allowed to take Ms. Emmerson away unless she wants to!”
The bodyguard blocked Ned’s path and said, “Mr. Fletcher, are you picking a fight? I don’t mind going to the police station in Dmont with you.”
“Who do you work with? Is it Sean or Simon? How much did he pay you? I will double-No, I will give you ten times the pay!” Ned said with a scrunched-up face. “Those are my babies in Angeline’s belly! I’ll decide if they should be born! Now get out of my way!”
“Angie is pregnant with your baby?”
Ned spun around at hearing Ingrid’s voice.
Ingrid was wearing a face mask with a baseball cap. She looked at Ned with welled-up eyes filled with sadness and disbelief.
“I-Ingrid,” Ned uttered while clenching his fist.
He was out of words for further explanations.
“How could you do this to me?” Ingrid said.
She sounded heartbroken. After taking a deep look at Ned, she turned around and left.
“Ingrid!” Ned called.
He chased after her while still holding onto Angeline. But he was swiftly stopped by the bodyguards.
“Go away!”
“No, you’re the one that should let go of me!”
Angeline couldn’t release herself from Ned’s grasp and was angered.
“What are you doing dragging me to chase after Ingrid? Are you out of your mind?”
Ned wasn’t listening to Angeline and threw a punch at the bodyguards.
The bodyguard stopped Ned’s punch. Enraged, Ned kicked him in response.
Angeline saw an opportunity and released herself from Ned’s restraint. But she lost her balance and slipped, hitting her back against the door handle. Angeline quickly turned pale. Her stomach started feeling a throbbing pain.
