Looking at the handsome man next to sickbed side, Belle spected he was Kyle Duncan, Angel¡¯s brother sent abroad since childhood. Only her brother in Duncan family loved Angel. Belle was one of the closest people to this 18-year-old girl with an IQ of 7 or 8 years old in herst life. To put it simply, Angel was originally a young girl with low intelligence. Duncan family and Newman family were old friends, Angel was sticky to Belle, so she knew Angel more than Kyle. God unexpectedly gave her a chance to live again. Belle clenched her hands and murmured in the heart, ¡°Angel, I will use your body live well for you.¡± ¡°Angel?¡± A warm handy on Angel''s forehead. Kyle looked at her anxiously. ¡°Are you ok?¡± His voice was soft, afraid of rming his sister, who had just woken up. Angel looked at her and shook her head slowly.

She was familiar with the badge on the quilt. She stayed in this hospital for treatment. She wanted to know exactly how this hospital recorded her illness.

His sister, who has the intelligence of a child of six or seven years old, was the most painful for him and his mother. But now it seemed that... ¡°Brother, I want to see the case report of Belle!¡± Angel''s eyes glowed and her voice was determined.

He reached out and took his sister''s hand, and was surprised to find that it was cold. ¡°Angel? Are you all right?¡± Kyle rubbed her sister''s head gently. Angel looked out at the familiar scene and shook her head slightly. Kyle took her by the shoulders and wrapped her in his arms. Her knuckles were pale as she clutched the page of photocopied case report in her hand. Out of the car, Kyle lifted her sister into the wheelchair, because she was unable to walk. Once in her wheelchair, Angel''s hands clung to the arms of the chair. Charles Newman, Belle¡¯s father was not at home. It was Rosa the maid of Sofia Lloyd (Mrs. Newman) met them. Rosa served tea to them, squatting down in the front of Angel, said softly, ¡°Miss Angel, Mrs. Newman doesn¡¯t want to see anyone. She is still sad and doesn¡¯t want to see anyone and anything rted to Miss Belle. Miss Angel, I beg your pardon.¡± Angel''s tears streamed down her face as she nodded slightly. Rosa¡¯s eyes became red. ¡°Is Sofia ok?¡± Angel sobbed. Little did Rosa think that Angel would care about Mrs. Newman, and she could not help crying, ¡°She has been ill for a while, but she is well now. She is in a bad mood all the time. Thank you for your concern. When she gets better, I will certainly tell her that your concern.¡± As he watched her sister''s tears pouring down her face, Kyle felt sorry for her. He put his hand gently on her sister''s head and said softly to her, ¡°Angel, Mrs. Newman doesn''t want to see anyone. Let''s go home. We can¡¯t bother her.¡± Angel looked upstairs. She asked, ¡°Rosa, may I go upstairs and have a look at Belle''s room.¡± Rosa looked embarrassed, ¡°Her room has been changed to a study.¡± Chapter 3 Good Means Chapter 3 Good Means Angel was stunned, so was Kyle. ¡°Why?¡± Angel''s voice trembled. Rosa hesitated for a moment and said softly, ¡°Miss Anna and Mr. Newman put all the things rted to Miss Belle, afraid that Mrs. Newman will be sad by the scene.¡± Rosa wiped the tears of the corner of her eyes. ¡°Why? How could this be? How can ¨C¡± Angel became excited. Before Rosa said a word, upstairs spread a voice. ¡°Anna, don''t be too sad. You be thin. Belle can¡¯te back to life, but at least she has no need to suffer any longer.¡± It was William¡¯s voice. ¡°William, dad''s mood has been not good, and Sofia can¡¯t help. I help dad deal with business during the day, and when Ie back home, I felt sad when I think of Belle, so I can¡¯t fall asleep and don¡¯t want to eat.¡± Anna¡¯s voice was sad and gentle, as if a wisp of soft feather gently brushed the ear.

Anna said with tears, ¡°But I miss her. She is only 20 years old. God is not fair, I would rather have the disease for her.¡± ¡°Don''t talk nonsense!¡± William interrupted Anna¡¯s words. ¡°Are you going to make me feel painful in heart?¡± William said. ¡°Put away the things rted to Belle and change her room, or you and Sofia will be sad looking at her things.¡± ¡°Anna, cheer up. You still have me, I also need you! Let''s all forget about Belle and start our new life!¡± William was genuine. ¡°William --¡± Anna stood in thest step and looked into William¡¯s eyes. Angel''s hands clung tightly to the arms of her wheelchair. Kyle felt the tension in his sister''s body. He ced his hand gently on her shoulder. ¡°Angel?¡± Angel spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Angel --¡± eximed Rosa. ¡°Angel --¡± Kyle was so frightened that he bent over, picked up his sister and walked out. In Kyle¡¯s bosom, Angel''s face was pale. From Kyle''s arm, she looked Anna and William who was shock, smiling, ¡°Sister, good means! Finally you erased all traces of Belle. From on, you are the only daughter in the Newman family!¡± Five yearster. M City. It was nearly tomb-sweeping day. The weather in these days was not so good.

Several staff members of Joe Team were arranging clothes with the models. A fashionably dressed young man with half a ponytail on the back of his head was holding a picture scroll in one hand, while discussing with the staff and models in a low voice. There was a girl in a Lolita dress sitting in the doorway, talking on the phone, ¡°Hey, Angel, where are you? It''s our turn.¡± There came a light smile, ¡°I don¡¯t need to present, Heidi, I value you and Aaron! I am watching a show, don''t disturb me!¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.

So, people were very curious about Joe and were excited to see the real person on stage to ept the award. But in the award ceremony only a little girl in Lolita skirt with a baby face showed up. She imed to be Joe''s assistant, and she, for some reason, can''t be there in person. It was a mystery that sated the appetite and drove the expectant crowd maddening.

The weather in M City was as usual. It rained a lot in this season. Angel took a deep breath, feeling the moist air in her lungs. The rain had been in her dreams for years and was her inspiration to design ¡°Four Seasons.¡± What she integrated was her memories and yearning for the city. Angel stopped a taxi, ¡°Lingnan Cemetery.¡± The Cemetery in the afternoon was cold and silent, not even a crow bird was there. The moist earthy breath came from the ground, with an indescribable chill. Rain like a continuous fog felt on her body, and soon her hair got moist. Angel put on her hat and looked down at the white lilies in her arms. The petals of white lilies with rain drop on it were pure and tender like little Angel¡¯s face. Angel passed by the tombs row after row, as if in the eyes of all kinds of people. Finally, she stopped at the tomb of Belle. Angel stopped short. There was a bunch of golden flowers in Belle¡¯s tomb! Angel''s breath stalled, and the next moment she was racing ahead. Standing at the highest point to look down the mountain, she saw two people in ck have walked to the cemetery gate. A man in a ck suit was holding umbre for the other man wearing a long ck windbreaker with one hand, and opened the door with the other. The car drove away. Angel paused. She walked slowly back to the tomb and ced the lilies next to the golden flowers. The golden flower was Belle''s favorite flower. But no one knew about it. The Newman family would only send her babysbreath, if they came to visit her tomb. The tombstone should have been carefully wiped, although not it was covered with ayer of rain. The sight of the white lilies next to the golden flowers made the softest part of Angel''s heart ache as if it had been rubbed by an invisible hand. In this world, who would remember Belle? Who would remember Belle''s favorite flower was golden flowers? Angel looked up at the sky, let the rain fall on her face, suddenly she chuckled and gave up the thought. ¡°Angel, I will take care of brother, and I will live for both of us happily!'' ¡°If there is a reincarnation, I hope you cane to me again, I will protect you.¡± Angel looked at Belle¡¯s picture on the gravestone with a smile, whispering softly.

Fortunately, she was quick to react and moved to protect her buns. ¡°Oh, what¡¯s your problem!¡± A shrill female voice rattled through the eardrums. Angel was shock. It was Laura. Laura asked the man next to him and asked with concern, ¡°William, are you alright?¡± William showed a faint smile and said, ¡°I am fine.¡± He nced down at his clothes, and then stared at Angel''s face. Laura looked alongside William''s vision, she was shocked too. Angel said softly, ¡°Excuse me.¡± Then she walked toward the elevator. The voice of Laura was disdainful from behind, ¡°Hum! She is pretty, but she is a delivery woman! What a rude girl!¡± Angel tried to keep her feet steady by suppressing the tumult in her heart. Oh! Delivery woman! Five years had passed. Long time no see. Angel take a deep breath. Between the elevator door seam that closed slowly, Laura left with William. She clenched her hands. Five years had passed, Anna, William and Laura led a wonderful life. And Belle? She had be a pile of earth. Here came the elevator.

Come and see what I have brought you.¡± She closed the door and shouted in a cheerful tone. ¡°Hey! Honey, are you back?¡± A clear voice rang out full of ridicule and joy. On the sofa was sitting a beautiful woman. She was in her thirties having mature charm and did not have the trace of years. Her features were simr to those of Angel, whose bright eyes looked smiling at Angel at the door. Angel''s face lit up at once with the loveliest obsequious smile. ¡°Oh, dear! Is this beautiful woman waiting for me? My dear aunt, I miss you so much!¡± She put down her food box, took off her hat and lunged at her. This beauty was Alexia Duncan, Angel¡¯s aunt. Alexia stretched out her hand, pretending to block Angel''s enthusiastic hug in distain, but she couldn''t helpughing out, ¡°Apologize first, Angel!¡± ¡°Ok! I''m sorry, my dear aunt!¡± Angel didn''t even have a second''s pause. Alexia stood up, stopping Angel''s shoulder movement, ¡°What have you done wrong?¡± ¡°Anything you think I am wrong.¡± Angel blinked. Alexia stretched out her hand and patted her gently, ¡°You have no sincerity!¡± Angel had taken her arm with a smile. ¡°I do, aunt!¡± Alexia raised her eyebrows, ¡°Oh? Really?¡± Angel nodded. ¡°Of course! Of course!¡± Alexia smiled and poked her forehead, ¡°Good! Pack up your things ande home with me. I will take you to a dinner party tonight.¡± Angel was then immobilized. Alexia stopped her smile, ¡°Are youing back with me or shall I live in the hotel with you?¡± Angel pouted. ¡°But I haven''t had enough fun.¡± Alexia said, ¡°Angel! Why don¡¯t you think of the consequence that you left me and your brother?¡± Angel pouted and did not dare to speak again. Alexia was the only girl in Duncan family in her generation.

She then could not help butugh, ¡°Oh, I am overconfident.¡± Heidi, who was hiding in the corner, went quietly to pick up the box and held it in her arms.

I was so frightened that I dared not breathe, but now she did not say even a harsh word.¡± Aaron smiled and did not speak. Miss Alexia would not teach Angel a lesson for sure, including her brother. Alexia was going to take Angel to a business dinner. In M City, there was a business dinner in Yany Restaurant every weekend, hosted by the four senior families -- the Foster family, the Duncan family, the Marsh family and the Newman family in turn, in order to facilitate business exchanges. This practice had been continued for many years, which could be traced back to the rtionship among the four families at the harmonious time.

She said, ¡°Auntie, do you take me here for a blind date?¡± Alexia sideways looked at her beautiful niece and nodded with a smile, ¡°A good idea. I will pay attention to it tonight.¡± Angel was speechless. Alexia took her hand and gently patted her back, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your brother and I don¡¯t want you to marry so soon. I take you here just for fun. Angel, you''re the oldest Miss Duncan!¡± She looked deeply at Angel and said no more. She herself was the victim of a business marriage and would never let Angel follow in her footsteps. Besides, she didn''t think marriage was something a girl had to do. With her and Kyle, Angel''s happiness was not tied to any one man or his family. But Angel was the eldest Miss Duncan, and she deserved her status! She could have her own interests, but she also had to do what she was supposed to do in her territory. For example, a ssy dinner! She protected her, but put her in armor! This was her difference from Kyle, who had raised Angel as a perfume lily. But she wanted Angel became to a rose with thorns. When Alexia came in, she attracted the attention of all the people in the field. Alexia smiled slightly. She knew what everybody was not looking at her but Angel next to her. That was what she wanted. Her sister-inw had gone, it was up to her to bring Angel to the circle! Severaldies gathered round. ¡°Alexia, long time no see.¡± ¡°Alexia, I didn¡¯t expect to see you today!¡± ¡°Oh, Alexia, who is this beautiful girl?¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. ¡°God, Alexia, this girl is so beautiful! She looks like you!¡± The crowd gasped in amazement. Alexia was married but had no children. It was a marriage that, if it had been for anyone else, would have often been a source of conversation. But no one dared to discuss about her. No one wanted to bring disaster to their business! Alexia''s means were well known in the industry. Fortunately, it was not difficult to get along with Alexia. As long as you respected her, she would respect you too. So, the female elite and the real rich women had good rtionship with Alexia. Everyone''s eyes were focused on Angel. Duncan family was never a secret. Alexia was not close to her brothers and her nephews and nieces. But this girl looked like Alexia, as if they were blood rted. The girl was beautiful in a white dress. Alexia said with a smile, ¡°This is Angel Duncan, my nieces.¡± Chapter 8 Angel Duncan Chapter 8 Angel Duncan She introduced them to Angel. Angel hid behind Alexia. She was not used to such an asion. In the eyes of others, she was cute to be shy. Alexia held her hand and looked at her with encouragement. Angel then in Alexia''s guiding voice said hello to the others. She receivedmendations from thedies. Most of them had children. Who would not love such a gentle and well-behaved girl? She had a good character, and Alexia loved her. Duncan family had many younger generations, but Alexia had never brought any of them with her, which showed the importance of Miss Angel in Alexia''s heart. But they didn¡¯t know who her mother was. Alexia showed Angel around before talking business with her business partner. She left Angel to y on her own, for there were plenty of amusements for the dons anddies, and there was no need to worry about safety, for she had brought Angel because she thought she was poor in her brother''s custody. Angel could finally catch her breath. She understood the intention of Alexia, who wanted her to act like ady from a richdy. Angel could not bear the responsibility and this was worried by her aunt. When passing the mirror in the hallway, Angel looked into her face and smiled. Angel, you must not let All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. aunt down! Angel went to get food from the dessert bar and took a seat in the rest area next to the dessert bar. She had no interest in games. And she could not y crazily. The angle she had sought was just right for a view of the whole hall, and was concealed by the curtain. She scooped a mouthful of mousse cake from a small te and watched the crowd with interest as she ate it. In fact, she had reason to feel it was a blind date. Many of the people were probably here for blind dates. Angel smiled at the groups of ¡°rich women.¡± She knew some of them. In the past, she had her status after all. Even if she had a shining sister, she always lived in this extraordinary circle. Looking at those familiar people, it was a pleasure to recall those people''s past. The footsteps of high-heeled shoes were sounded. It should be a few youngdiese to take desert. Angel moved closer in, and hid herself well. Thece at the edge of the veil staggered the gap and allowed her to see. In this circle, mostly they were acquaintances. It was Laura walking in the front. She met her twice in this day, and Angel felt her heart was calm. Laura in a red dress was wearing a delicate makeup. She was a beauty, but in the past Belle never paid attention to her clothes and makeup, because she had a beautiful sister. Laura, therefore, did not wear makeup either. Belle thought Laura, like her, was not interested in makeup. Now it seemed that it was because of her. Now she was wearing makeup, which should be the real she! ¡°Well, I heard that Miss Alexia brought a niece over today, but it is not Daisy Duncan. Did you see her?¡± Laura asked the person around. Through the thick drapery Angel could distinctly hear the ¡°whispers¡± of thedies. ¡°Yes, it''s not Daisy. She is much prettier than Daisy. She looks a little like Miss Alexia.¡± Betty Wong, the daughter from Rongchuang Property answered. ¡°Really? Which Miss Duncan?¡± Laura took a sip of the drink passed by the waiter. Betty nodded. ¡°It''s true, Miss Alexia introduced to us. I''ve never seen her before.¡± Laura said with a smile, ¡°I camete, so I did not see her. Are you telling the truth? Is she prettier than Daisy?¡± ¡°What''s so strange about being prettier than Daisy? She''s not that pretty! In appearance, in temperament, she is inferior to you!¡± Gracie Jordan said. It was curry favor, but Laura was pleased to hear that. Kiara Jordan, Gracie Jordan''s sister knew that Laura did not favor Daisy, ¡°Miss Alexia could not bring Daisy here. I heard that Miss Alexia disliked Daisy and Leo Duncan. ¡°Well, her name is Angel Duncan, yes, that''s the name!¡± Betty thought about it carefully. ¡°Angel Duncan? I have never heard of her. Who is her mother?¡± Kiara asked. ¡°Angel Duncan?¡± Laura''s face shed a trace of shock. ¡°Oh, now I remember. Daisy has a half sister? That should be the name!¡± Gracie suddenly raised her voice. ¡°What? Daisy''s sister?¡± The others were taken aback. ¡°She is a half-sister¡± Laura corrected them. She thought of the little idiot who hovered around someone like a follower, and she thought of the delivery woman she had met at the hotel door that afternoon, frowning slightly. Chapter 9 Idiots? Chapter 9 Idiots? ¡°But I hear she is and idiot?¡± Kiara asked. ¡°Yes, yes, she was like a child when she was sixteen or seventeen. Daisy made fun of her! Have you forgotten?¡± Gracie suddenly got excited. Angel looked at the beaming Gracie and Kiara and thought of that their family deal with toy business? With such heirs, the future of her family was a disaster! ¡°Are you mistaken? Or did you hear it wrong? How can Miss Alexia bring an idiot to a party?¡± Laura was confused. Belle has considered this idiot as treasure. ¡°Yes, how could she take an in idiot out? In all these years, we''ve never seen the titr girl of the Duncan family in public, okay? And she doesn''t look like an idiot by any means.¡± Said Betty, who had just met Angel. ¡°Yes, isn''t it Daisy the eldest Miss Duncan?¡± Someone joined in the conversation. ¡°Yeah, even if we went to a party at Duncan¡¯s, we never met Daisy¡¯s stupid sister.¡± ¡°Well, didn''t you see she was an idiot?¡± Someone asked Gracie. ¡°No, I think she is quite normal! The etiquette rules are much better than Daisy, and her temperament is elegant. My mother boasted her!¡± Betty said. Angel''s eyes sparkled. Betty was a kind one. ¡°Well, who is she? Are there any other bastards of Duncan family?¡± Gracie looked excited. ¡°Hush, don''t talk nonsense. Let¡¯s ask Daisy. She definitely knows about it¡± Laura said in a serious manner. ¡°If that''s true, I''d love to see her face! It will be wonderful?¡± Kiara smiled covering her mouth. A group of people burst intoughter. With her lips slightly curved, Angel scooped out a mouthful of mousse and savored it. .It turned out that these people knew Daisy. It seemed that Daisy often attended such asions. Daisy was Miss Duncan, so it was natural for her to attend such asions. ¡°Hey, Daisy!¡± Immediately after, a voice was sounded, ¡°Why are you crowded here? Laura, you are here.¡± Daisy greeted Laura affectionately. Laura smiled, ¡°Daisy, your dress is really beautiful. Is that one you said booked in France?¡± Daisy nodded her head proudly and then said, ¡°You look better in red than any one else.¡± Laura was d to hear that. Daisy, Angel''s half-sister, was just a few months younger. Angel could not resist giving the curtain a slight lift and peering out. Daisy was dressed in a pink dress, with a slim figure and her hair pulled up high. Her made up was delicate. Angel was surprised that her ¡°sister¡± was good at dressing up. ¡°Oh, Daisy is good looking in any dress. And this dress fits your temperament.¡± Gracie boasted. ¡°Yes, only Daisy can wear pink!¡± Kiara echoed. Angel pressed her lips. Then her eyes darkened. In those days of Belle, the person around her should be the same. She believed other¡¯s words and thought they were nice, but she got cheated. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Suddenly someone noticed a girl behind the veil. The curtain ¡°suddenly¡± was pulled back. Behind the curtain was a small beauty sitting on a chair. Frightened, she opened her eyes wide. ¡°Who are you?¡± Daisy asked arrogantly, ¡°Why are you hiding here?¡± The people behind her, who had seen Angel, looked at each other as if they were enjoying the y. Angel rose slowly to her feet and moved graceful. She looked at Daisy as if she was carefully identifying the person in front of her. Suddenly, the smile spread out on her face, like beautiful ripples on a stillke. ¡°You''re Daisy? Wow, you''re so tall. I''m your elder sister, Angel.¡± Angel''s voice was slightly childish, and her knee-length gown made her look like an innocent teenager of 16 or 17. But standing in front of her, Daisy, from dress to makeup, all seem to be a mature woman of 27 or 28 years old. And she said she was Daisy elder sister! Chapter 10 Innocence Chapter 10 Innocence People were looking at each other. Laura''s eyes fell on Angel''s face, shocked. Daisy stared at the woman in front of her. She took a deep breath. ¡°You -- you -- you are Angel Duncan?¡± Angel nodded, tilted her head lovingly. ¡°Yes, long time no see! Do you forget remember?¡± She looked pretty and lovely, but to Daisy''s eyes, it was clear that she looked like an idiot. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Daisy''s face darkened and her voice became harsh. No matter what, she could let this idiot lose the face of Duncan family! As she spoke, she reached out for Angel''s arm. Angel took her step back. ¡°I came with aunt.¡± Daisy''s face became dark. She now wished that Angel would disappear. What an idiot! All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Daisy only felt her heart rise a group of nameless fire. They hadn¡¯t met for several years, and she had forgotten the existence of this idiot! Laura standing behind felt relived. This idiot did not change at all. Without Belle, she seemed to live well. Daisy was in a bad mood. Belle, it was a pity you could not see it. Gracie didn''t want Angel to die. She hurried forward and put herself between them. ¡°Oh, are you two really sisters? So you have a elder sister, Daisy?¡± Gracie turned to Angel. ¡°Angel, right? Are you really Daisy''s elder sister? Howe I haven''t seen you before?¡± Angel nodded with a smile. ¡°Yes! I''m seven months older than Daisy.¡± Daisy was angry. ¡°You! Get out of here now!¡± Daisy pointed at Angel and shouted at her. Angel looked a little nk. She didn''t seem to understand what Daisy was talking about. Out of patience, Daisy reached out and pushed Angel. Angel seemed to be taken aback by her sister, and flinched back. Daisy, on the other hand, leaned forward as she pushed, smashing straight into the dessert counter in front of her. With tter, Daisy in a very strange position lied on the dessert table, knocked over the cups and tes. Her delicate pink dress became miserable with drinks on it. Angel, on the other hand, was pushed back by Daisy. Before she could get her footing, she was held by arge powerful hand. ¡°Look out!¡± A low alcohol voice rang in her ear. Angel steadied herself and dodged the hand. She raised her eyes in astonishment, and met a pair of deep eyes. Angel''s eyes turned cold, as if the blood drained from her body. The man obviously did not expect that. He was stunned and then looked at her. ¡°Ah --¡± screamed Daisy. Laura and others hurriedly helped her up. Everyone could see that it was Daisy who had thrown herself on the dessert table and could not even say a word to help her. It was not easy for her to stand firm on the twelfth centimeter high heels. She looked down and saw that her expensive dress waspletely changed. She was trembling with anger and her eyes were burning with fire. ¡°Angel, you did it on purpose!¡± It was clearly Angel who pulled her off bnce. She pointed at Angel and pped her in the face. But she was seized by a powerful hand, ¡°Miss! Whatever the reason, you''re not supposed to hit anyone in here!¡± The voice was low, but cold. When Daisy was stunned, her hand was thrown away. Standing in front of them was a slim man in a ck suit. He looked at the arrogant Daisy coldly, frowning. Daisy''s eyes flinched. Jason Foster! Chapter 11 Jason Foster Chapter 11 Jason Foster He was the powerful man in the Foster family. This was the man she had been longing for! After experiencing a new round of shuffling half a year ago, Brooklyn Foster squeezed out many years ago came back and took the family under control. Brooklyn Foster had two sons. Jason the eldest son was not the executive president of the Foster Group. He was only 28 years old. He was now the brightest new business star in town, one of the best heirs of all the rich second generation. Daisy had been holding her breath in her heart. She must marry into another rich family and let herself be a real richdy, so as not to bear the mark of illegitimate child. Even though she was a bastard, she had been a privilegeddy in the Duncan family for so many years. How could she have looked upon the ordinary rich and powerful family? Untilst time in the party, she saw to see Jason and fall into him. She fell in love with Jason. In the four big families, there were arge number of talented people in this generation. The most outstanding was Kyle the future owner of the family. He was also the best candidate of the Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. the Marsh family¡¯s heir. William was a talented person, but he fell in love with Anna. The rest of them were not in Daisy¡¯s eyes. And Jason appeared. Jason and Kyle were both handsome. And both of them had cold temperature. At the first sight of Jason, Daisy decided she must marry Jason! She went to great lengths to find out Jason whereabouts. Knowing that he woulde today, she caught over to see him and then step by step implemented her love hunting n. However, she had never expected to meet Angel. Angel had not been home for five years. She was not even present at Grandpa''s birthday party or Dad''s birthday, Kyle said she was in poor health. Hum! He just didn¡¯t want an idiot to show up. Without her, she had no one to make fun of, but it had no trouble. That idiot had a pretty face, which drove Daisy jealous! She wished Angel had died outside. But she was here today. And she had said about her shameless story, so she hit her, but made fool of herself. In such time, unluckily Jason appeared. Daisy took a deep breath and stood in front of Angel. "Mr. Jason, I''m sorry, my sister has a problem in her mind." With that she looked ashamed. All thedies were sympathetic. Jason looked at her coldly, ¡°Miss Daisy, are you going to teach your elder sister in public?" Daisy turned pale. "No, no, I, I --" "Angel?¡± Alexia walked quickly over. She took Angel''s cold hand in hers. "Angel, are you all right?" Angel leaned on Alexia''s body and said in a soft voice, ¡°Aunt, I have heart palpitations." Alexia was anxious and cuddled her body, ¡°Ok, we go to the hospital." From beginning to end, Alexia did not take a look at Daisy. Everyone''s eyes fell on Angel''s pale face. She must not be an idiot, she was just naive and timid and she had been frightened by Daisy''s violence. From Miss Alexia''s attitude, they could see that she loved this niece. In contrast, Daisy was nobody in Miss Alexia¡¯s eyes. In the VIP room upstairs. Jason sat on the sofa, motionless. His mind was filled with the beauty of the girl''s face. The door opened noiselessly and a tall figure came in. "Mr. Jason, Angel is Frank Duncan ''s daughter, her mother is Isabelle Marsh, and her brother is Kyle Duncan." "It is said that Angel had a serious illness when he was a child, resulting in low intelligence. Five years ago, she had a car ident and then was taken to J country by Kyle and never came back." "Kyle was anxious about her, and Alexia is the best to her." The voice of the report was still and waveless. Five years ago! Jason put the hand on the armrest, tightening. "She is the little girl that Belle likes." Jason quietly said in a low voice. ¡°Angel was a disgrace to the Duncan family and they wouldn''t let her out of the house. Miss Belle met her identally at a party at Duncan¡¯s. After that, she often yed with her. They were very close to each other." "Miss Belle cared about her daily necessities, which made her suffer less in Duncan¡¯s family. She was very dependent on Miss Belle." "When she woke up after the ident, Miss Belle had already died. She had been to the Newman family. Because Miss Belle''s room had been changed, she was so angry." Jason frowned slightly. Chapter 12 Nowhere to Hide Chapter 12 Nowhere to Hide Was Angel mentally retarded? When he had just stood on the second floor, he had seen her downstairs having snacks and listening to the gossip of the youngdies. He had seen her lively face. In a few words, she revealed the life story of her half-sister, infuriating Miss Daisy. Was she really stupid? Belle was kind. If her intelligence had a problem, she would certainly protect her, take good care of her, just like she was good to him. Would Angel remember that Belle was good to her? ¡®Belle, if, Angel is the person you like, I will take care of her, okay?¡¯ Jason lowered his head, trying to cover the deep pain. When he raised his head again, he had be calm. "Zak, what''s going on over there?" He asked one of his men, who stood near him. the Newman Group''s designpany did not win in thepetition, so Anna got furious and tried to find the winner, so that she could fire David.¡± Zak answered calmly, but he was relieved. Every time mentioning Belle, Mr. Jason was sad. Belle was like a magic spell pressing him. There was always a solution to everything in the world, but for this one, there was no solution. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn''t bring someone back after five years. "Good, keep an eye on David, perhaps he will be useful. Go find the winner and hire her." Jason said and stood up. "Yes! Mr. Jason, should we sign with her in the name of the Foster Group?" Zak asked. "No, sign with us." Jason said coldly. "Ok!" Zak answered. Jason opened the window and the wind blew in. Jason took a deep breath. Looking far into the distance, he saw the teaching building of M University. When Belle died, she was a junior student, studying in her favorite visualmunication design. If she was alive, would she participate in thatpetition? Would she get a prize? Jason suddenly closed the window. No ifs! It was daylight when Angel woke. She sat up suddenly, the strange environment made her mind nk for a moment. She stuck her fingers in her hair and took a deep breath. She persuaded her aunt not to go to the hospitalst night. She just needed to have sleep. She saw too many "old friends", and the heart palpitations appeared again. She thought she was ready, but when face to face, those people still affected her heart beat. Angel could not help smiling bitterly. She went into the bathroom, washed her face with cold water, lifted her eyes to see the face with water in the mirror, stunned. Yesterday, she met Jason! How was that possible? The heart leapt two beats faster. Angel shook her head violently, letting the water fly. "Angel, wake up. We have a lot of work to do!" Downstairs in the living room, Aaron and Heidi sat on the couch. Aaron was holding hisptop on his All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Seeing here down, Heidi stood up, ¡°My sleeping beauty, you finally wake up. I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Aaron put down theputer and stood up. "Are you all right?" he asked gently. Angel reached out and rubbed Heidi''s head and said to Aaron, "I''m fine, I''m just hungry." Heidi took her to go to the restaurant, ¡°I am almost starved to death!" Aaron followed them. Beside them, Angel''s heart beat was back to its normal rhythm. The old campus of the M University was next to the city center. The campus, in sharp contrast to the rows of tall buildings and the hustle and bustle of traffic outside, was peaceful and quiet, as if even time was moving slowly. The towering ancient trees on both sides of the avenue witnessed the history of M University. The air was thick with schrliness, which waspletely different from the CDB business district. Angel walked slowly on the brick sidewalk with a magazine-sized box in her arms, breathing deeply in the slightly humid air of spring. Students from M University walked by her side from time to time. She was wearing a smile. The days of study were always happy. There was still a way to go before the Design School, and the refreshing fragrance of lcs was in the air. Angel''s heart leaped and she quickened her pace. In her memory, there were two rows of clove trees in front of the teaching building of the Design School. It was the season of lc blossoms. Clusters of white and purple flowers came into sight with rich aroma. Angel took out her cell phone and got close enough to take a close-up of the petals. She couldn''t help but put her nose into the flowers and took a deep breath. She felt herself soaked in the strong fragrance of the cloves from head to foot. Then she raised her head with satisfaction and walked toward the teaching building. She thought she much used lc to her work and let Heidi study embroidery and batik. A ck car quietly glided past her side, inside which a deep vision fell on her body, but she did not notice it but looked down at the photos on the phone. Angel breezed into the quaint three-story red brick office building next to the teaching building. Everything here was the same and familiar. The sound of the wooden stairs was pleasant, and the familiarity made Angel pleased. Professor Jordan''s office was the second room on the second floor. "Professor Jordan, please take care of Anna!" A soft voice froze Angel at the door. "Mr. William, my duty is to teach students. But it''s up to the student to determine the future." Professor Jordan''s clear voice was neither servile nor pushy. "Professor Jordan, you are modest. It is pleasure that I have you as her teacher. Please let us know if you need any help in the future." Another voice, low and deep, sounded as if it were inherently superior. Angel''s eyes watered up and she was to turn away. "Angel?¡± Professor Jordan was pleasantly surprised to find Angel walking to the door. Angel stopped in her tracks. Chapter 13 A Filial Daughter Chapter 13 A Filial Daughter Professor Jordan''s office was sitting Charles and Anna, as well as Anna¡¯s fianc¨¦ William. Hugo Jordan came up with a smile and gave a hug to Angel, ¡°Angel, you finallye back." With a smile on her face, Angel gave Professor Jordan a hug before stepping back and bowing, "Hello Professor!" Then she handed the box to Hugo. Hugo took it over and asked with some curiosity, ¡°What is it?" Angel said with a smile, "It is from my brother. He said it is your favorite." Hugo burst intoughter and held the box in the hand, "He got many ideas!" Angel did not look at the other three. Professor Jordan patted her shoulder. "You finallye back," he said happily. "Your brother finally let go you. I thought he would like to go to him.¡± Angel leaned forward and whispered something in Professor Jordan''s ear. Hugo widened his eyes and then said with a smile, "No problem! I''m on your side!" Angel, too, was beaming. Charles and Anna¡¯ and William looked at each other. They were surprised at Professor Jordan¡¯s different attitude. He now was intimated to this beautiful girl. The girl bowed when she came in, so she should also be his student. She seemed to be younger than Anna, so she should also be a college student. What was going on with Hugo''s attitude? Was she from a rich and powerful family? But which girl was noble than Anna? Why was Professor Jordan so kind to her? The face of Charles could not help sinking. For Anna to be able to study MBA, he donated a library to M University in order to get the academic record, and be Professor Jordan¡¯s student. However, Professor Jordan was cold to them. What was this little girl? Why could she make Professor Jordan delighted? Such curiosity let him involuntarily ask, ¡°Professor Jordan, who is this?" Hugo was in a good mood right now, so he introduced Angel to them. "Oh, this is Angel, my Ph.D. student at J Country. She just finished defending her thesis and I hired her to be my teacher. She is one of my most proud students." He looked at Angel and couldn''t stop smiling. Anna looked at this girl and said in a soft voice, ¡°Professor Jordan''s students are all excellent. My sister Belle is one of your students, but she¡­" Anna said with tears in eyes. Hugo sighed, ¡°Belle was also one of my most proud students. s!" Anna sobbed, ¡°Professor Jordan, I study MBA is to finish my sister¡¯s wish. I am far more behind my sister, please pardon me." With that she made a deep bow. Hugo said, "Not at all. Don''t worry. If you need anything from now on, juste to me. Angel will be my assistant teacher this year, you can tell her if you need help.¡± He turned to Angel, ¡°Angel, this is Anna Newman. Her sister Belle was a particrly good students and your senior, but she died of illness." The tone of Hugo was heavy and regretful. He added, ¡°Since Anna already is my student, and Belle was her sister, so please pay attention to her." Angel smiled, nodded to Anna, and then said to Hugo, "Ok." All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Hugo was satisfied. Charles and William said nothing. That little girl even did not take a nce at them. Hugo only introduced his students and he thought her parents had nothing to do with it. He didn¡¯t care what Charles was. He didn¡¯t care if William was her fianc¨¦. Angel could not help smiling. This old man was so cute. She knew what Charles was thinking about. But his identity was nothing to Hugo. Angel stood aside, ignoring Anna¡¯s smile. By the time they were gone, Hugo was relieved. Hugo gave a detailed description of what Angel would do next, ending with a smile, ¡°How''s it going? Any stress? Can you take it? They secretly call me ¡®ghost¡¯." Angel offered Hugo a cup of tea with a smile. "I knew." Hugo paused for a moment, and pointed to her with a smile, "You are warning me that if I ask you to work too much, your brother wille to me. Have you decided to let me carry the me for you Angel turned to Hugo''s back and tapped him on the shoulder. "Professor, you promised me. You can''t go back on your word." Hugoughed, "You are clever." He had taught abroad in those days, and Angel was his most valued pupil, who studied with an almost desperate attitude, and who had a great talent, which made her the most valuable. As a result, she stayed in the studiote, which attracted her brother, who almost destroyed their studio. Later he became a friend of Kyle and Alfie, and he regarded Angel as his daughter. "You arete here today; If you are earlier, you would have met another of my favorite students, whom you ought call him senior." Hugo suddenly said. Chapter 14 Donate a Library Chapter 14 Donate a Library Angel frowned. "You''ve got a good student." This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. She wrinkled her little nose and curled her mouth. "It sounds like I''m not good at all." Hugo said, "Bad girl! I have three students in all these years! One of them has gone and only you two are left!" Angel knew who he was talking about. She showed a smile, ¡°Remember to introduce the senior to me." Hugo nodded, "Sure, but that boy is not as cute as you. He is cold and busy. He seldomes to see me." He was likeining about his own son. Angelughed. "Didn''t you say my brother was like an ice sculpture? Then I let the senior to ask my elder brother how to please you, OK?" Hugo was amused by her, "It sounds like I am ridiculers." Angel joined in theughter. "Remember to have dinner in my hours on weekends!" Before leaving, Hugo said to Angel. Angel nodded as she walked out. "Don''t worry, I''ve got presents for your wife and daughter.¡± As Angel stepped out the front door of the office building, she saw a car parked in front of the building. Anna opened the door and walked out, smiling, "Angel, hello!" Angel stood on the steps, watching Anna''s affectionate smile. The sun shone on her wless skin, dazzling. She gently jumped down thest step, and said, "Hello!" Anna froze for a moment, and then showed a sad smile, "Angel, don''t you remember me? I''m Anna. Don''t you remember Belle?" Anna had tears in eyes, but as if she had held it back, looking pitiful. Angel''s hands were in her pockets, with nails deeply pinching into her skin. She looked at Anna, showed a pure and lovely smile, "I''m sorry, I don''t remember." Anna was in a choke. Looking at this beautiful girl, she did not what to say. Angel, whose eyes were as ck as stone, seemed to be able to see into souls. She sighed softly. "Professor says Belle is dead, but you are still using her for sympathy." At this moment, a white car pulled up quietly beside them. The driver hurried up and bowed. "Miss," he said, "Miss Alexia wants me to pick you up. Angel smiled at Anna, "Excuse me." She got into the driver''s car. Anna froze on the spot. "Anna, who the hell is she?" Charles looked at the car leaving with a frown. It seemed to be Alexia''s car? "Daddy, her name''s Angel Duncan. She''s the eldest Miss Duncan." Anna¡¯s face became soft. "The daughter of Frank Duncan?" Charles frowned. Anna exined, ¡°Do you remember that Angel always yed with Belle before? That''s her, she''s the eldest Miss Duncan and Daisy is her half sister." The Duncan was a mess. Charles frowned deeply when he heard the name of the youngest daughter,. William was stunned, ¡°But, isn¡¯t that Miss Duncan a retarded?" Anna nodded, "I heard that Angel was retarded when she was a kid by frightening. Five years ago, at the time when Belle was in the hospital, she had a car ident. And then she was taken abroad by Kyle, but he suddenly came back and ¡­" She became a normal person. Besides, ording to Professor Jordan, she had graduated with a PhD. William said, "She is so young to graduate with a Phd, Kyle must have put a lot of effort on her." Charles cheered up, "Anna, you go to visit Alexia. That car is Alexia¡¯s. Alexia had a good rtionship with her sister-inw Isabelle, so naturally she will be nice to this niece. You will have the answer by contacting with Alexia. He patted the back of his daughter''s hand. "No matter how she got her academic achievements, the way Professor Jordan treats her shows how much he cares about her. With the help of Professor Jordan''s proud student, you won''t have to study too hard these years. Anna, I am very pleased that you can do what you do today. Don''t make yourself so tired." Anna leaned on Charles¡¯ shoulder, coddling, ¡°Daddy, I am not tired; I just want to help you, so that you can have some more time to rest. We are father and daughter, and this is what I should do." Charles fondly caressed his daughter''s head. Sitting on the copilot, William looked back at the father and daughter nestled together and was moved. Anna was sensible and filial piety. He was lucky to marry such a girl. "Mr. Newman, you can rest assured that I will take good care of Anna." William promised to Charles. Charles''s eyebrows stretch out and he nodded, "Ok." For the sake of the Newman family, to help him, Anna dyed the marriage again and again, but William totally understood her. William''s eyes fell on Anna. Anna was bashful, lowering her head. Chapter 15 The Past Chapter 15 The Past Angel''s car stopped as it drove out of the M University. Angel rushed to the garbage can and vomited. The driver took a bottle of water to her and said nervously, ¡°Miss Angel, let¡¯s go to the hospital." Angel squatted on the ground and waved feebly at the driver. She cleaned her mouth with water and slowly stood up. She slightly tilted her head. The bright sunshine made her eyes sting and tears flow down. Angel raised her hand against the sun, dabbed her wet face, and smiled at the terrified driver. "It''s all right. Maybe I ate too fast this morning." She turned to get into the car. The driver looked back at her anxiously. "Where are we going, Miss Angel?" He whispered to Angel in the back seat. "I want to see the scenery of M City. Then take me to Hart Lane on Maple Road. "Angel''s voice was calm. The driver drove steadily. Angel, out of sight of the driver, was biting her wrist. Her back was wet with sweat. There were beads of This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. sweat on her forehead, and a faint breath of blood was in her mouth. The voice inside her was screaming, "Calm down, calm down --" That year, Belle was admitted to M University. She happily took the admission letter home. Her mother looked at the admission notice and said in a low voice, ¡°Good, put it away, don''t show off in front of your sister." Belle quietly ran to her father''s study and loudly said, ¡°Daddy, I was admitted by M University!" Her father smiled happily. And her sister just walked by the door. Her sister saw her letter of admission and said to father, ¡°Daddy, let''s have a Party for Belle. Belle is much better than me, I am proud of her!" Belle was very happy to hear that. But her father said, ¡°There is nothing to be proud. When you were admitted by the unicersity, we kept it low key. We are not that shallow." Belle was ashamed. Anna was the pride of her family. She was so beautiful, elegant and dignified. There was not a girl in M City was better than her. It was not difficult to her to be admitted by M University. But she had not been admitted, because she had acute gastroenteritis during the college entrance examination, which affected her. When her sister went abroad to study as an exchange student in college, she came back within a year because her father was ill and in hospital. She was really worried. Belle felt that her admission letter was not that good. As her mother said, the reason why she could study was the condition was created by her father and sister. At that time, Belle felt that she was the happiest person in the world. On the first day of school, the family''s driver sent Belle. She only asked the driver to drive her to the gate, and then she dragged her suitcase inside like all ordinary children. The children of those ordinary families had their parents to apany them. It was a glorious thing to be admitted to M University, and it is worth the whole family to see them off together. But at that time, she did not feel anything. Anyway, she had been doing it all her life. Her mother had been telling her to be modest, not to show off, not topare with her sister. She followed her family''s instructions and would never do anything to embarrass her father or sister. Now? The Newman family donated a library to M University. In this way, Anna became Professor Jordan''s students. Charles personally sent his daughter to see the professor. What a kind father! Angel loosened her teeth atst. Two rows of deep tooth marks on her wrists had seeped blood, staining the cuffs of her shirt. Angel took a silk handkerchief out of her bag, wrapped it around her wrist, and tied a knot with one hand to conceal it. Hart Lane was a very famous street in M city. Hart Lane was famous because it was a street with a strong sense of literature and art, as well as a street for entrepreneurs. In this street, every facade may be the base camp of a well-known artpany or team, photography, fine arts, calligraphy, costume design, interior decoration, sculpture garden and so on. In short, they were the entrepreneurs of the art ss. But there are always sesses and failures in starting a business. Hart Lane was used to theings and goings of the young men. Renting a house in Hart Lane was a piece of cake. Aaron was trained by Kyle and Alfie. He helped Angel all these years and waspetent. Heidi was an orphan and Angel''s ymate for many years. The most important thing was that they could reassure her brothers and help her aplish many things. No. 24 in Hart Lane was the nest Aaron had chosen for them. When Angel came in, Heidi was directing the cleaning staff to clean up the mess that had left behind after a failed startup. Aaron was on the phone. He caught sight of the ribbon on Angel''s wrist and his eyes sank. After putting the phone down, Aaron opened a drawer and took out a small medicine chest. He motioned to Angel to sit down and picked up cotton wool to sterilize her. Angel frowned in pain. Aaron carefully applied the medicine, and then wrapped her in gauze, and tied her in an intricate but beautiful knot. Angel grinned and said, "Aaron, it is good about your obsessivepulsive disorder. It makes me feel good." Aaron said lightly, "I''m thinking about whether to give you a rabies shot." Angel chuckled. "I''m not a dog." Aaron didn''t look at her. He picked up the little medicine chest and put it away. Angel looked at Aaron and sighed. "Aaron, I just couldn''t stand it. Can you not report it?." Aaron, ¡°I''m the one should sigh." Aaron was always sandwiched between her brothers and her. Chapter 16 Paradise Studio Chapter 16 Paradise Studio Angel reached out her hand to touch Aaron''s head. "I won¡¯t do it again. Don''t be sad. I''ll buy you dinner." Aaron shook off her hand in disgust. "A lot ofpanies showed interest in the email. I chose five of them, check and see which one you like. I have to reply them." Aaron thrust the tablet at her. She duly changed the subject. Angel''s problems had to be solved by herself. No one else could help her, and pressing her questions would hurt her. There was no such thing as empathy in this world. What he could do was to apany and protect her. Angel, withputer in hand, casually asked, "Is there Yydream Work Studio of the Newman Group?" "Yes, but I don''t think it is appropriate." Aaron said. Angel raised her eyebrows and looked at Aaron in surprise. "Yydream Work Studio now has a lot of market share and seems to be doing well," said Aaron, ¡°But it only relies on the the Newman Group and Anna. Their mode of operation and internal management have no rules." "As for the cooperation with us, they are perfunctory and have no sincerity. We are just treated as designers and they have no n for the future of designers. That''s not what we want. As for Anna, I think it we need times to understand her." Aaron''s voice was cold. Angel burst into a smile. "Aaron, yourments please me." Aaron red at her and continued, "I''ve been researching their products, and they''re all designed by a bunch of designers. They have no characteristic and are not permanent, but when they want tounch new products, they onlyunch one style. And I found that the style in thest three years is simr to yours. If I was not familiar with you, I would probably think that is your early work." Aaron shoved a few pictures toward her. Angel''s eyes fell upon the pictures, and she took a sip of the water Aaron offered her, hiding the emotion in her eyes. It seemed Anna did not throw Belle¡¯s things! Anna, when can you do yourself? ¡®But it didn''t matter, I will y with you!¡¯ Aaron then gave her another document, "Look at this, I prefer thispany. It''s been around for about six months, it''s fully staffed, it''s done good market research, and it''s a good fit for us at this early stage. The terms of cooperation are very generous, and I made an appointment to meet with their person in charge to discuss." Angel opened the document and gave a strange palpitation. Paradise Studio! Angel read the paper in silence, put it down and said, "Check background of thispany. If there''s nothing wrong with it, sign with it." Aaron nodded. "Let me show you the environment here. There is a loft on the third floor, which is veryfortable. You cane here to restter." Aaron said as he walked out. "The second floor is the office area, and the first floor is the exhibition area." Aaron pointed out everything to Angel. Angel looked around and nodded. "I''ll be busy with the professor next week. My Aunt will take me back to Duncan¡¯s tonight. You and Heidi stay here, I wille when I am free. If the cooperation is settled, we should work on our category." Angel told Aaron her whereabouts and ns. Aaron didn''t say anything. There was a yellow soda in the small loft on the 3rd floor. The sunshine casted to sofa, warm and bright. Aaron pulled her to sit down on the sofa, "Take a nap, you look so bad. I will ask Heidi to buy you some porridge." The sofa was sofortable that Angel never wanted to get up once she sat down. Aaron took a thin nket and put it over her and walked out. Angel closed her eyes. A momentter, feeling the warmth of the sun, she felt asleep. "Belle, when we grow up, we will get married. I will build a big garden and a ss house, where we can watch flowers during the day and stars at night. "Belle, I will only be good to you all my life. We can¡¯t quarrel, ok?" Said the boy, childlike and earnest. The sun was dazzling and the boy''s face could not be seen clearly. The small Belle was d. The garden, the ss house, the flowers and the stars were enough to make her happy forever. "Belle, there isn¡¯t a boy in family, so we have to make a n for family. Mariam is my mother''s best friend. If I marry Jason, the Foster family will help father wholeheartedly." "You have to marry William, so that the Hall family can help us and the Newman Group can be more "But, sister, I --" "You don''t want to work for the Newman family, do you? I will not force you. I am elder sister, as long as Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. it is for the sake of this family, for the sake of father, for you and Sofia, I can do anything." "Jason always regards you as his little sister. He told me a couple of days ago that when we get married, he will treat you like a little sister and build a big garden and a ss house for you. You like all these things. He is good to you.¡± The voice was soft and charming that no one could refuse. Belle only felt pain in the heart that she could not even breathe. Angel woke up with a start with cold sweat on her face. She had a dream! It belonged to Belle''s dream. "Angel? Have you had nightmares again?" Heidi said. A warm handy on her forehead. "Heidi." Angel stood up and put her arms around Heidi''s waist. Heidi sighed, "You had a nightmare again. I don¡¯t feel relieved if you go to the Duncan¡¯s. What can you do if you have nightmares?" Heidi patted Angel on the back. Angel could not helpughing, "Yes, yes, without you, what should I do?" Chapter 17 Got Trapped Chapter 17 Got Trapped Heidicently smiled and flounced on her to tickle her. The two girlsughed together, dispelling the lingering the cold pain in Angel''s heart. Jason sat at his desk, holding a thick file in his hand, but he could not read a word. His mind kept running back to what he had seen that morning. He was surprised that the girl appeared in M University, and his curiosity kept him from leaving immediately. He heard she said she did not remember Belle, but mocked at Anna who was using her dead sister. He saw the girl was in tears, shielding her face with her arms from the driver''s worried view. Her teeth clenched her wrists and a momentter the cuff was stained with blood. What made her do that? Jason did not understand her. The girl''s ability to change her face was amazing. She was smiling in thest second, but in the next second, she was already in tears. She made him feel that there was a whole other world inside her. This was an enigmatic girl. However, looking at her do that, Jason was inexplicable heartache. the Duncan family was in the east of the vi area, covering a big area. yton had four sons and a daughter, and two younger brothers, Dougie Duncan and Hector Duncan. All of them lived in the Duncan Vi. It was a piece ofnd that Duncan family had acquired at a low price, which had been vacant for years. Duncan¡¯s business was getting better and better. At that time, yton¡®l father was the owner of the house, so he decided to build a the Duncan Vi on this piece ofnd, so that all Duncan families could live together. For a big family like theirs, people were the most important thing. Only talents had a future. Once upon a time, that Duncan¡¯s families work in Duncan Group required strict assessment. Each senior manager could have a separate vi in the Duncan Vi. Of course, the children of previous house owners could live in it. So staying in the Duncan Vi was a symbol of status for Duncan¡¯s family. The main house of the Duncan Vi was the noblest ce, where the owner lived. There only two people had the qualification to live with the owner, Alexia and Kyle, but they were rarely back. Thest weekend of each month was a day for family dinner. Without special reason, yton¡¯s children should alle back for dinner, and his two brothers would take their families to join the dinner. Alexia informed yton in advance that she would bring Angel back. The most valuable idiot of the Duncan family hadn''t been around for five years. After Isabelle died, her shares and dowry were left to her children, so the other members of the Duncan family respected them. Kyle was a malicious role and independent since he was very young. No one dared to move him. He would be best option as the next sessor, and the yton of the Marsh family was fond of him. If the Duncan family did not let him to be heir, the Marsh family would choose him. As a result, yton thought highly of this grandson more than any of his sons. His siblings and uncles, including his own father, spoke of him with awe. When Angel was fifteen years old, Kyle transferred all the inheritance left to him by his mother to his sister, making the girl the richest person in Duncan family. The family was envied! So everyone turned their eyes to her with clear purpose. But, before anyone''s action could be effective, Angel had a terrible car ident, so Kyle took her away from the Duncan¡¯s. Everyone forgot about her after years. But unexpectedly, Daisy said she came back. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Daisy lost face in the party and cried about it at home. And it was because of that idiotic Angel. What an incredible thing! What a thing to look forward to! Everyone holding the intention of watching fun came early. They wanted to hear theint from Maisy Bet and Daisy to increase fun of their life. Alexia drove the car directly into the garage and took Angel''s hand as she got out. Angel was in a long beige linen dress with a sweater over it. Her long curls were tied loosely at the end with a silk ribbon tied around her wrist to hide the bruises on her wrists. It made her look soft and delicate. Alexia looked at her by sigh, always felt that she was pulling amb to the wolves. Angel knew what Alexia was worried about. She shook the hand held by her aunt. "Aunt, you seem very nervous. It''s okay. I''m not going to get eaten." Alexia could not help but smile, stretch out index finger to reach her forehead, "You." She felt sour Had her sister-inw been around, Angel would have been adored, even if she had been as delirious as ever. But in these years, she watched Angel try hard to make up for the wasted time a few years ago. She learned all kinds of knowledge and skills to have today''s achievements, but, in addition to her and Kyle, no rtives cared about her, even her own father. It was a room full of people who were rted to her by blood, but they would harm her. But Angel had no choice. She was a Duncan and she had to take it. "Oh, look, look, who is this? Isn''t that the real eldest Miss Ducan?" A shrill voice, bitter in tone, was heard as soon as Alexia and Angel entered the room. All eyes were turned to them. Angel leaned close to Alexia, as if frightened. Alexia''s face sank and she looked at Maisy, ¡°Sister-inw, what do you mean?" Maisy more or less fear Alexia. She looked at Daisy her stepdaughter hiding behind Alexia. Maisy sneered, ¡°Alexia, I am literally. Daisy came back and said she met her elder sister, who said she was the real eldest Miss Duncan in the front of many people. Daisy is Angel¡¯s sister after all, why didn¡¯t shee back home and had to embarrass her sister?" This was clearly directed at Alexia. Chapter 18 What His Grandson could not Stand Chapter 18 What His Grandson could not Stand Everyone knew Angel was idiot. Without Alexia, how dare she do that? Alexia sneered, "What''s wrong with it? I picked her up and let her stay at my house for a night to get over the jetg. Is there anything wrong with me taking my niece to a party? Sister-inw, do you have a problem with me?" Maisy was stunned. Alexia looked at Daisy, "Daisy, you have always said you are the eldest Miss Duncan, what is the meaning of it? And you treated your sister so badly yesterday in front of so many people. You''ve disgraced the Duncan family!" "Do you want people to think all Duncan''s daughters are so ill-bred? Outside this door, you represent the Duncan family. You make a fool of yourself, and every girl in the Duncan family will be affected!" "Isn''t that what you''ve been telling Angel? What? Is it only targeting Angel?" Daisy''s face turned pale. She had always been afraid of her aunt. What was more, her words were enough to make her the enemy of the other Duncan¡¯sdies. Alexia nced at the family members who were either surprised or amused by the disaster. She turned to Angel and said, "Angel, say hello to everyone, and don''t let people say you are impolite." Angel looked up with a bright smile. "Yes, aunt." Everyone thought she was hiding behind Alexia because of fear, so she would not dare to do that. They did not expect to see such a bright-eyed face. Angel was a perfect continuation of her mother''s radiant look. After five years, she became so beautiful. Not only appearance, even her temperament had Isabelle''s elegant demeanor. Then Angel said hello to everyone. - Looking at the nice and cute Angel, everyone was confused about what to do. Everyone said hello too. "Hello, Angel." "Gee, Angel is even prettier." "Yes, yes, you look like your mother." "Well, you are exactly the same." There was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and all the Duncan¡¯s men came out of the study. Looking at Frank, her father, Angel froze and called out softly, "Dad." Then she lowered her head. She was afraid. At first sight of her, Frank was stunned. If was like Isabelle stood in front of him. After he realized she was his daughter, his face turned cold. With a scornful smile, Daisy went over and took Frank''s arm. "Daddy, sisteres back." A defiant look at Angel was out of the corner of her eye. Frank remembered what Daisy saidst night. He frowned and asked, "I heard you went back to home yesterday. Why did youe back today? Why didn''t youe back to see Grandpa first? You are rude!" Angel kept her head bowed and did not move. Alexia said, ¡°Brother, I went to pick up Angel back. There is a family gathering today, so it is the most appropriate time toe back. Last night I had an important dinner party, so I took Angel with me. I did Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. not know you and sister-inw would me her." Alexia gave a detailed and perfect exnation of Angel''s itinerary. When Frank was to say something, yton arrived. "What''s it?" He asked. "Grandpa!¡± Angel called out. yton''s eyes narrowed at the sight of Angel, and then he smiled kindly, "Oh, Angel''s back? Your aunt said you need to get over jetg. How''s that?" Angel smiled sweetly. "I am good." yton nodded and looked at her. "Well, you are taller and prettier." And then he said to Alexia, ¡°Alexia, Kyle said he wants to let Angel follow you, is there a problem?" Alexia grabbed Angel''s shoulder and said, "No problem, Dad. Angel can keep mepany." They went to the sitting room and sat down, each with their own thoughts. Maisy said with a smile, ¡°Dad, Alexia is so busy, she can¡¯t take care of Angel. Let Angele home. I have time, I can take better care of Angel." Alexia looked at Maisy, "Sister-inw, don''t worry, Angel is not a child, she and I can take care of each other." She knew what was in Maisy''s mind. Maisy smiled, "Angel is the eldest Miss Duncan, Alexia, if she lives outside, others will think I can not tolerate her. Dad, it is not good for our family¡¯s reputation." She looked at yton and nudged her husband beside her. yton frowned, looked at Angel, and said stiffly, "You''d better move back." Alexia sneered, ¡°Sister-inw, I think you said this for your own sake. If you consider Angel as your own daughter, people will not gossip about it.¡± "You --, Alexia, what do you mean? What have I done wrong to her? I want to be nice to her, so you have to give me a chance, right? How can I be nice to her? She doesn''t evene home." Maisy said. "All right, Angel stays with Alexia, but she has toe back one night a week to visit Grandpa and your father." yton spoke to stop them. Kyle had begged him to let his aunt to take care of Angel, and he would not contradict him for such a trifle. His grandson would not anyone to bully his sister. However it was equal to hold Kyle''s soft rib. As Kyle grew stronger and stronger, he sometimes felt powerless, afraid that one day he could not control Kyle. Angel''s return had put the hilt into his hand with Kyle''s own hands. He would treat this girl well. Chapter 19 Young Master Duncan Chapter 19 Young Master Duncan It mighte in handy one day. The way he looked at Angel was full of affection. Angel nodded. "Yes, Grandpa, I''ve got it." yton nodded with satisfaction. The better Angel was, the better for him. He did not care whether his son and daughter-inw treated the granddaughter well or not. Or, if they were not kind to her, it would be more pleasing to him, and the granddaughter would naturally be more dependent on him. He turned to Maisy and said, "Alexia will take care of Angel, so you''d better concentrate on Leo''s marriage." "Leo''s marriage?" Maisy was surprised. yton nodded, "Well, Kyle found a good match for Leo. It was Phoebe Wright, the youngest daughter of Tyler Wright''s family living in the United States. I heard she fell in love with Leo at first sight." Everyone was shocked. Kyle unexpectedly found a match for Leo? Miss Phoebe fell in love with Leo at first sight? Angel was more surprised than anyone, or she was petrified. Maisy poked Frank, "Is it true?" Frank nodded his head, and his eyes fell on Leo''s face, which was very bad, with a warning meaning. Angel looked quietly at her second brother. Leo looked like Frank, so he was like Kyle too, but with such a different temperament that it was hard to imagine him and Kyle as brothers. He was very good looking and definitely fit the popr aesthetic. Slender figure, wide shoulders, narrow waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes made him handsome. But his eyes were gloomy. When looking at people, he always showed his insouciance and superior. He was a spoiled young man, with self-esteem and inferiority. Because of the dishonorable life of his siblings and the perfection of his half-brother, he had long lived in a cynical pall. Such negative emotions brought to his face, destroying his original perfect facial features and his temperament, so he looked like a street punk. He listened to the elders talking about his marriage now without joy or crimson, but with a look of suffusion. No one understood his frustration. Angel got it. But Leo wouldn''t believe her. "Angel, do you know Miss Phoebe?" Luke Duncan''s wife Joanna Martin asked carefully. There were not a few people in the Duncan family who wanted to be friendly to Angel. But they had to be careful. They had known about the fact from the smiling yton. How could they miss the opportunity? Joanna looked at Angel with eager eyes. Angel curled her lip and said with a smile, "Yes, I do. We''ve met a few times, but we don¡¯t know each other very well." "Well? Is she pretty?" Joanna asked with a smile. All the people were curious. "Yes!" Angel''s face was serious. She found a picture in the mobile phone to show it to Joanna. Joanna showed it to others. Maisy took a look too. At one nce, she felt excited. Miss Phoebe was noble, pretty and had a prominent family. It would be a good marriage! Her heart swelled with joy. Suddenly, she frowned and asked Leo, ¡°Leo, when did you meet Miss Phoebe? Why didn''t I hear from you?" Leo was upset and did not answer her mother''s question. Maisy knew her son''s stubborn temper, so she looked at her husband. Frank cleared his throat, ¡°When Leo went to J Country, he met Miss Phoebe in the bar. When Miss Phoebe was being harassed, Leo helped her." "Oh my god! Brother, you are a hero! No wonder Miss Phoebe will fall in love at first sight with you!" Daisy was so excited. This was an honorable thing! She couldn''t help ncing at Ste Duncan. If her brother married Phoebe, their status would rise. Then there will be no need to bow down to others. the Wright family were a bigger family than the Duncan family. And Phoebe fell in love with her brother at first sight! Maisy and Daisy were proud of it. The families were so shocked at the Duncan family''s marriage that they ignored the quiet Angel, and the meal was peaceful. On the way back, Alexia can not help but ask, ¡°How can your brother think of making a marriage for Leo with a rich family?" Angel sighed. "My brother''s probably thinks about the future of Duncan family." "Hum! For the sake of Duncan''s future, he can¡¯t do that. Maisy had always been thinking about how to take Duncan¡¯s family as their own. If there is such a backer, it will be tough in the future." Angel patted her aunt on the back of her hand, "The Duncan family has you and brother, they can do nothing big. Miss Phoebe will be the daughter-inw who married into Duncan family. So you have nothing to worry about.¡± Alexia sighed and did not say any more. Angel got into her quilt after taking a shower and made a phone call. Only a ring, a lowzy voice sounded, "It should be eleven o''clock in the middle of the night, why don''t you sleep?" "I --" Angel scratched her hair. "What''s the matter? Want to apologize? Don''t worry, I won''t forgive you, I won''t, your brother won''t." The tone was cool. "Alfie, your voice is pleasant! Next to my brother, you''re the most handsome person in the world." Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Angel rolled around on the bed. "Stop it! Heartless girl." There was a hint ofughter in his voice. Angel, ¡°Alfie, is my brother still angry?" Alfie, ¡°Angel, I am also angry!" "Alfie, you are the best person to me except my brother in the world. How can you be angry with me? Don''t be angry, OK?" "Kyle is angry, too. He isn''t the best man for you, is he?" The voice grew colder. "Hum, what do I do? I failed to coax you, Alfie, you are angry with me." Angel rolled around again, holding her throat. A chuckle reached her ear. Chapter 20 Will it Exposed? Chapter 20 Will it Exposed? Angel suddenly sat up and said, "Alfie, youughed, so you are not angry with me, right? I am lovely, you will not be angry with me, right?" "Don''t tter yourself, Angel. You''ve gone too far this time. We won''t forgive you, and you can''t expect me to intercede for you. Your brother ignored me now.¡± Alfie''s voice was still chilly. Angel grinned, "Alfie,e on, my brother wouldn''t be angry with you. He''s angry with me, so I stay away from you. Can you forget me? I am sorry." "Apologizing doesn''t work. Exining doesn''t work. I gotta go." Alfie said. "Alfie, Alfie, listen to me, listen to me, I have something important to talk to you." Angel implored. Alfie, ¡°Say it." "Yeah, well, I went back to Duncan''s with my aunt today. They said Phoebe has a crush on my brother at the first sight, what is going on?" Said Angel. Alfie snorted, "You disguised as a man to help Phoebe fight in the name of Young Master Duncan?" Angel, ¡°¡­" "You dared not to admit it?" Alfie''s tone was cold. "I wanted to get rid of Phoebe. She has been haunting my brother all the time. I don''t like her!" said Angel. "Now she gives up on Kyle, but she said she must marry Young Master Duncan. Will you marry her?" Alfie was gritting his teeth. "What is wrong with Phoebe''s brain? How could I have imagined that she would stop falling in love with my brother all at once, but fell in love with a man she has not even seen? Is it my fault?" Angel said. "Do you think it''s my fault?¡± Alfie said. "No, you never made a mistake! And only me would make such a silly mistake." Angel answered. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Alfie did not speak! "Well, you finally know you''re stupid, don''t you?" Alfie resumed hisnguid voice. "So? Alfie, how did you do it? How do you make her believe that Leo is Young Master Duncan?" Angel asked before Alfie became impatient. "She didn''t see your face, so she believed it¡° Angel took a breath and sighed. "I didn¡¯t think so much. If only I said a random name." "Angel, do you think everyone is stupid? It is not the first time you used this name. Every bar knows about Young Master Duncan. Phoebe investigated you, so she fell in love with Young Master Duncan." "Isn''t she stupid?" Angel blurted out. Thinking of Alfie''s expression now, she immediately smiled and changed the topic, ¡°Well, how did you make Leo really admit it? Her face was green tonight." Angel wanted tough at the thought of how embarrassed Leo was. "We didn''t do anything except tell your grandfather that Phoebe fell in love with Young Master Duncan, who was really in J country at that time." Alfie said calmly. Angel was stunned, wondering what was wrong, "Well, my grandfather believes that?" Alfie was patient, "Your grandfather cares that the Wright family wants a marriage. The fact is not so important." "But, but, what if it is exposed?" Angel was worried about the the Wright family, which was not easy to mess with. "Exposed? It is not our business. Phoebe was looking for Young Master Duncan and we found him." Alfie said. "But Young Master Duncan isn''t Leo." Angel felt confused. "Who says not?" Alfie said. "Alfie, you know that''s not what I mean, I mean, what if Leo is exposed?" ¡°She will not. I guess she will dress as Young Master Duncan." Alfie said. Angel was speechless. That worked? "Why do I think this is weird?" Muttered Angel. After the phone call with Alfie, Angel tossed and turned with her quilt in her arms. Phoebe, the youngest daughter of the Wright family, was the most favored one. The Wright family had great power and great influence in the J country, and had innumerable business contacts with the Duncan family. Phoebe met Kyle at a party and fell in love at first sight. From then on, she began to find opportunities to get close to Kyle. But there were no young women within three meters of Kyle, except her sister. But it provoked Miss Phoebe''s desire to conquer. It was said that Phoebe had dated many men, so she had rich experience in rtionships. Indeed, she was beautiful and rich. Many men liked her. But Kyle did not. In order to be able to see Kyle, she took the opportunity of cooperation, with the identity of the Wright family''s high level, went in and out of the Duncan family, participated in meetings, and ¡°harassed¡± Kyle in any means. Angel had always been concerned about her brother''s affair, because she wanted him and Alfie to marry the girls they liked. However, after knowing Miss Phoebe''s "great achievement", Angel knew she was not a good person and wanted to get rid of her immediately. She couldn''t let her brother be one of her boyfriends. So, after learning about Miss Phoebe''s whereabouts, she went to the bar where Miss Phoebe was that night. As soon as she entered, she saw several men arguing about two pretty girls. The men had a bad reputation, and two of them had been beat by Angel, and now they hade back so quickly. Angel, without a word, knocked them down again. Chapter 21 Angels Law Chapter 21 Angel''s Law She left without saying a word and without taking a nce at the two girls. But unexpectedly, one of the two was Phoebe. The point was that she had saved Phoebe but that Angel disguised as a man that day. Angel had two bad habits in the eyes of her brother: dressing like a man and fighting. Because the consequences of these two were serious, making Kyle and Alfie annoyed. Last time, Angel had gotten into a fight for pretending to be a man, and she had promised never to wear men''s clothes again and never to fight again when she was punished by Kyle to stand facing the wall. However, in less than a week, she did both, even though the premise of her mistake was to help her brother get rid of Phoebe. The consequence would be serious. So she took Aaron and Heidi to run away. Specifically, she took a ride with Aaron and Heidi. Aaron and Heidi were going to take her work back to participate in thepetition. Once on the ground, she told Aaron that she had sneaked out without telling her brother. Aaron was scared and made a call to Alfie. Angel wasn''t worried about his brother''s anger.

She had a n to back home long time ago, beside Professor Jordan wanted to here back Her brothers agreed and prepared to take her back when they finished the work of these months. But she didn''t expect toe back in such a way! She had hoped that when she was settled and her brothers'' anger had subsided, she would confess her fault. But the fact that Phoebe fell in love with her was quite beyond her expectation. Why did Phoebe fall in love with her? And Leo admitted that he was Young master Duncan. Besides, during her years in J Country, she always pretended to be the Young Master Duncan when she was wearing men''s clothes. There were a group of fans around her. Her brother forced her not to wear men''s clothes because he was afraid that she would go further and further on the way of picking up girls. But now she had to give up her own ¡°brand¡± to Leo? She didn''t seem to have a choice. Miss Phoebe and Leo became the main characters. Angel blinked and felt that the world was a fantasy. Well, anyway, her brothers were involved, and she could not control the development of the situation, so let it be. Paradise Studio was going well. The partners would send sales people to team up with Aaron and Heidi, and Angel would just have to focus on the design. Their brand positioning was high-end customization, even customers had to go through strict screening. This positioning and Angel''s idea happened to coincide. The official operation started next Monday, when Angel would have to go to work on campus. It was a pity she won''t be able to see the sales team, but she could meet them in the future. To Angel''s small relief, things were going well, both at school and in the studio. On Sunday morning, Angel came downstairs yawning and saw Alexia working on the sofa with her ¡°Are you off today, aunt?¡± Asked Angel curiously. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexia answered without raising her head. Angel walked over and sat down beside Alexia, ¡°I thought you work three hundred and sixty-five days a year.¡± Alexia rolled her eyes at her, ¡°Do you think everyone is working machine like your brother?¡± Angel stuck out her tongue. ¡°Work machine is an urate word to describe her. I''ll have to tell him who he stops angry with me.¡± Alexia fingers moved fast on the keyboard, ¡°Oh? Is Kyle still angry with you?¡± Angel shrugged. ¡°Yes. Alfie is still angry too.¡± ¡°Oh, did you make a big trouble?¡± Alexia said Angel put her arms around Alexia''s neck. ¡°It doesn''t matter. I have you as a talisman.¡± As long as she stayed with her aunt, her brother and Alfie would forgive her! Alexia closed theputer after finishing her work, ¡°Let¡¯s do something today? How about going shopping and having meal outside?¡± Angel leaned on her. ¡°Ok!¡± Then sheughed to herself. Alexia could not help but extend her hand to rub her head. Angel thought about it. ¡°Aunt, shall we go to ytongcheng Orphanage?¡± Shecked interest in shopping. Alexia raised her eyebrow, ¡°Do you want me to donate my weekend off to the orphans in the orphanage?¡± Angel smiled. ¡°Isn''t that good?¡± Alexia hung her head and thought, ¡°OK, let''s go to the orphanage! I''ll have someone get ready. Dongcheng Orphanage was funded by the government. They took in children who had been abandoned and were born with disabilities. In addition to the provision of food and clothing for the children, they offer medical treatment. Six years ago, Belle was here to do volunteer work and called on those rich and powerful families to donate money and materials to help the children of the orphanage through the difficulties. In those days, this matter once caused sensation, all the powerful families had participated in it. However, one yearter, Belle died because of illness. Dongcheng Orphanage, soon after Belle''s death, slowly returned to its former shape. After all, there were few people do the charity. Chapter 22 Spiritual Sustenance Chapter 22 Spiritual Sustenance Fortunately, Dean Isabel Lane was a sensible man. She was a capable person. After she took over the orphanage, although she was still living a poor life, she managed to get every sick child treated in time. Angel stood at the door and surveyed it. Nothing had changed. From the gate to look inside, there were teachers in the yground taking children exercise inughter. The security guard at the door noticed them and asked, ¡°Who do you want to see, please?¡± Angel smiled. ¡°I came to see Dean Lane and deliver something.¡± Alexia was stunned. Angel seemed to know here well. But she had only been back for a week and was busy every day. When had she been here before? The security guard opened the door and let them in, directing them to the dean''s office. From the entrance to the main building, there was a long winding corridor, nked by the yground, which was empty. After all, they were all disabled children, so they could not have idents again. There were some stone tables and benches on the side of the corridor. Angel stopped her pace. In front of them on the left, there was a stone table, where a middle-aged woman was feeding a five- year-old girl sitting on the stone bench. ¡°Lillie, you have good performance today. You will recover if you do well like this every day.¡± The voice was soft and gentle, but it was like a hammer that struck Angel''s heart. Angel stumbled and clung to the railing beside her. ¡°Angel?¡± Alexia walked behind Angel, so she did not see her face had been pale, but thought she was just looking out. Angel tried to take deep breaths to calm herself. ¡°Sofia, did you forget that I had a heart attack again?¡± The little girl, called Lillie, swallowed the food and said in a soft voice. ¡°No, but it doesn¡¯t matter? As long as you have treatment, you will be fine.¡± Sofia said with a smile. The little girl sighed, ¡°It¡¯s useless, even my mother abandoned me.¡± ¡°No, no mother will abandon her own child. Your mother must have her reason to temporarily put you here. When she finished her work, she will pick you up.¡± Sofia said. Lillie looked at Sofia, ¡°Really?¡± Sofia nodded with a smile, ¡°Of course, Lillie, every child is the mother''s little angel, mother will always protect her children.¡± ¡°So, am I an angel, too?¡± Her eyes brightened. Sofia nodded, ¡°Yes, you are.¡± Sofia wiped her mouth. Lillie thought for a moment and smiled. ¡°That is Sofia Lloyd, the wife of the chairman of The Newman Group. She has been working as a volunteer here for four years. She is a kind person.¡± From behind her came a low and clear voice. Alexia said, ¡°Hello, Dean Lane.¡± ¡°Angel?¡± When she saw that Angel did not turn around, she pulled Angel quickly. Angel turned slowly and wiped her face with her sleeve, but she did not hide her tears. ¡°Oh, why are you crying?¡± Alexia was surprised. ¡°Angel, are you feeling ill?¡± Angel''s face was pale. Angel shook her head and then looked at Isabel. ¡°How do you do, Dean Lane?¡± Isabel looked at her with a smile. Then she said, ¡°You look familiar.¡± Angel nodded, ¡°I am Angel. I had been here several times with Belle.¡± Isabel was surprised. ¡°Are you Angel?¡± Angel nodded, and slowly held out her hand to her. Isabel stepped forward and embraced her. ¡°Angel?¡± Angel stiffened for a moment, and then reached out her hand to embrace Isabel. She said softly, ¡°Dean Lane, it''s me. I am back, and I will continue to do whatever Belle has not finished.¡± Isabel''s tears welled up. ¡°As long as you''re safe, it''s better than anything.¡± Alexia did not understand what was going on. Why did Dean Lane seem to know Angel so well? Belle? Was it because Belle? She let go of Angel, wiped her eyes and said with a smile, ¡°You are taller and prettier.¡± Angel smiled, trying to steady her breathing and heartbeat. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Alexia then chimed in, ¡°Angel, what''s going on?¡± Angel introduced them, ¡°Aunt, this is Dean Lane. Belle took me here several times before, so I know Dean Lane.¡± ¡°Dean Lane, this is my aunt, Alexia.¡± Isabel smiled and held out her hand. ¡°Alexia, we actually met several times, at UNICEF events.¡± Alexia stretched out her hand, ¡°Oh, right, Dean Lane, nice to meet you.¡± Angel turned to look at the stone table and bench. Sofia and Lillie had gone. Angel froze. ¡°Angel, that''s Belle''s mother.¡± Isabel whispered. Angel nodded. ¡°Belle died of heart disease, which was a big low for her, so she had been ill for a long time. I heard Mr. Newman put away Belle¡¯s things so that she won¡¯t be sad for seeing them, even changed the room. She almost went crazy.¡± Isabel sighed softly. Angel clenched her fists tightly. Alexia sighed, ¡°I heard that Mr. Newman loves Sofia, I think he wants to let here out of the pain.¡± Angel had her back to them, sneering. Isabel continued, ¡°Later, a servant brought Mrs. Newman here and told her that this was the ce where Belle had worked as a volunteer. Mrs. Newman stayed here and regarded it as another home, and even stayed here longer than she had stayed at home. The servant told me in a whisper that it was her emotional attachment.¡± Alexia was sympathetic. Isabel sighed, ¡°They are all poor children without mothers here, but she is a poor mother without her child. She was careful and truly loves the children. I really felt sorry for her.¡± Chapter 23 Mrs. Newman Does Volunteer Work Chapter 23 Mrs. Newman Does Volunteer Work They walked into Dean Lane''s office as they were talking. ¡°Angel, how have you been these years?¡± Dean Lane poured tea for them. Angel took the tea, sat up straight and smiled. ¡°Dean Lane, I think you want to know why I be different.¡± Dean Lane was embarrassed. Angel said, ¡°Five years ago, I was in a car ident. I was very close to die out of it, but when I woke up, my mind became normal. My brother took me abroad, so I studied abroad and am back to work home. She looked at Dean Lane with clear eyes. Dean Lane took her hand and said in delight, ¡°Good, Angel!¡± Angel nodded and said firmly, ¡°Yes, Dean Lane. I wille here often.¡± ¡°Good, good! Belle must be very happy if she were alive. She used to say you were a good girl, but trapped, maybe one day you would suddenly sober up. It is true.¡± Dean Lane''s eyes were red and he was almost in tears. She sighed lightly, ¡°She was a nice person.¡± Angel turned her head away, with her fingers bent slightly. ¡°After Belle left, the children here are very sad. Although these children are disabled, and even some are mentally ill, but, they are good people. They like you, miss you. Do you remember Sammy and Miller?¡± Isabel asked. Angel nodded. ¡°Are they all right?¡± Isabel shook her head. ¡°They didn''t make it. They died two years ago.¡± Angel was silent and took Dean Lane''s hand. Alexia quickly diverged from the topic and asked Isabel about the orphanage in detail. Alexia had good impression on Isabel. After a few words, she decided to support the orphanage. Angel got up and walked out. She knew this ce well. Soon she saw that thin figure. She was helping the teacher to teach the children to draw pictures. She was wearing a gentle smile and patient to the children. Angel looked at her through the window, silently and greedily. This was where she found her spiritual bast. The servant that Dean Lane said must be Rosa. Angel looked up to keep the tears from falling. Unexpectedly, the best person in the world to both of them was Rosa, a servant of the Newman family, who treated them like a family member. ¡°Angel?¡± Behind her came Dean Lane''s voice. Angel took a deep breath and turned her heard. Dean Lane looked inside Sofia and softly asked her, ¡°Do you want to see Sofia?¡± Angel shook her head gently, ¡°No, if she can keep such a quiet life, Belle will rest assured. I''m afraid it will make her sad if she sees me.¡± Dean Lane was silent. ¡°I will oftene, but I will avoid her, so as she won¡¯t be sad. Dean Lane, if Sofia has any incident, please let me know timely.¡± All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. Dean Lane nodded, feeling that Angel had a point. Mirosi Restaurant. Alexia looked at Angel, who was in a bad mood. ¡°Angel, I didn''t expect you and Belle to do volunteer work here before. I found that Belle had a great influence on you.¡± Angel smiled wryly, ¡°Belle just did what she could do. She took me here because she wanted to me be normal one day. She seemed to be living outside the rich family, but no one cared.¡± Belle and Angel, in fact, were the same in heart. In their hearts, everything was good. ¡°Angel, since this is an unfulfilled wish, you can go ahead and let me know if you need any help, whether it is money or goods.¡± Angel said softly, ¡°Thanks, aunt.¡± ¡°You are wee.¡± Alexia took Angel''s hand. ¡°You and Dean Lane talked about Belle, and I think I can offer help to the orphanage. Belle took you to here, so you became normal. You don''t know how your brother and I felt when you were hurt. We wish we could worship all the gods and Buddhas just to give you back to us.¡± Alexia took a long sigh, ¡°I had never been so afraid, so had your brother. At that point, all the doctors said you could be saved because you were seriously hurt.¡± Alexia picked up the cup and took a sip of water, ¡°At that time, your brother fought alone abroad with the aim of sess. If he failed, he may not be able to keep everything your mother left. By that time, you had an ident, but he came back.¡± Alexia sighed, ¡°Angel, your brother loves you. He has his reason to keep an eye on you. You should understand him.¡± Angel felt the weight of a heavy stone crushing her breath. ¡®Angel, we had to live a good life. I won''t let those who love you down!¡¯ ¡°Aunt.¡± Angel spoke softly. ¡°Here, try this soup. It''s good.¡± Alexia said to Angel. Angel picked up her spoon and took a sip. ¡°Angel, do you want to visit the Newman Family? Our two families have known each other for many years. I''lle with you if you want to.¡± Alexia asked. Angel shook her head slightly. ¡°No. When I woke up, my brother went there with me once. After only three months, they put all Belle¡¯s things away and changed her room into a study.¡± Angel''s voice became cold. ¡°They said they were afraid of Mrs. New would be sad to see Belle¡¯s thing!!¡± Alexia frowned, ¡°If it is the truth, they can change a house. Why did they change her house, as of they wanted to erase the trace of their daughter.¡± Alexia seemed to be talking to herself. But Angel''s heart was tearing. Alexia sighed, ¡°It was said that Mr. Newman loves Mrs. Newman, but I didn¡¯t see it from Mrs. Newman today.¡± Angel raised her eyebrows. ¡°What does it feel like when you''re in love?¡± ¡°It''s not like her anyway.¡± Alexia couldn''t find the right adjective for a moment. Angel''s hand holding the fork froze. Alexia said, ¡°I have only seen Sofia several times, but after Belle died, she seems to live like a Walking Dead with no soul.¡± Angel asked, ¡°What about the rest of the Newman family?¡± ¡°The others?¡± Alexia was stunned. Angel nodded. ¡°The rest of the Newman family.¡± ¡°Oh, the Newman family is very simple. Charles has only two daughters, the elder sister is two years older than the younger sister.¡± ¡°Belle has always been a sensible good girl. Anna is a smart girl; she is now helping Charles with the business of thepany. I heard that she was admitted to M University of postgraduate. And she is very great and the standard of a wife of a rich family.¡± ¡°If your mother were still alive, she might ask your brother to marry her. Such a kind and capable daughter-inw is the standard model for the wives of wealthy families.¡± Alexia was joking. ¡°Don''t do that. Other my brother''s life will be ruined.¡± Angel blurted out. Alexia was stunned. ¡°My brother wouldn''t like an arranged marriage,¡± said Angel. ¡°Doesn''t she have a fianc¨¦? Why are they not married?¡± She quickly changed the subject. Alexia shrugged, ¡°After Belle died, the family was sad, and Mrs. Newman was seriously ill in bed. Anna had to help Charles do business, so the marriage was dyed. ¡°However, William is spoony. Under the pressure of his family, he stayed with Anna for many years. I think they will get married soon.¡± Angel didn''t believe a word of it. Alexia took a look at Angel, ¡°I heard that Belle liked William, and had fought for him with her sister. Do you know that?¡± Angel shook her head. ¡°That''s impossible. Belle would never fight with her sister about anything, no matter how much she liked it. Even if she liked it, as long as Anna wanted it, Belle would give her without hesitation.¡± Alexia was stunned, ¡°What?¡± Angel sneered. ¡°In the Newman family, younger sister should never fight with her sister. It''s a rule for Belle. If Belle showed any disobedience, Sofia would be first to punish her.¡± Alexia widened her eyes, ¡°How is that possible? Was Sofia crazy?¡± Angel picked up the ss and took a long sip of water. Belle learned to self-healing at a very young age about any grievance. Because she loved her family. Chapter 24 Too Good Chapter 24 Too Good As Angel, she would never again believe the words spoken in the name of love. Angel was ignorant, but someone loved her. Belle was tolerant, but she died. Alexia took the steak to Angel, ¡°I always feel The Newman family is too false.¡± Angel choked on the water and coughed slightly. Alexia asked, ¡°What''s wrong?¡± Angel waved her hand. ¡°It''s all right, Aunt, your words scared me.¡± Alexiaughed, ¡°What did I say?¡± Angel wiped her lip corner and said, ¡°You said the Newman family is too false.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Alexia put a piece of steak into her mouth, chewing slowly, as if trying to figure out how to phrase. She took a sip of water and said slowly, ¡°Good things make people feel unreal. I have never thought about that before, but today I met Sofia, I suddenly had this feeling.¡± ¡°Anna is too perfect, all rich and powerful daughters see her as a good friend. She is always so soft and gentle, but I felt something wrong.¡± Angel smiled. ¡°If I die, you will be sad, but you won¡¯t talk about it with others.¡± Alexia''s movement suddenly stopped and she looked at Angel with incredible surprise. Angel put the steak into her mouth and said lightly, ¡°They are using a dead person.¡± They did not let her go even if she was dead. They used her to build a good name for themselves. ¡°They said they were afraid Sofia would be sad to see Belle¡¯s things, but they have been using Belle''s death to perfect their own images?¡± Alexia was stunned. Angel said nothing, but took another gulp of water. ¡°No wonder Sofia was gloomy.¡± Murmured Alexia. ¡°What can she do? So what if she knows about it? She loves Charles more than anything, so, she could only ce her love to an orphanage. She dares not miss her daughter.¡± Angel''s voice was calm and cold. Alexia put down the knife and fork and leaned on the chair, ¡°It is sick¡± Angel smiled ¡°Aunt, is the man who stopped Daisy for me at the Yany Restaurant surnames Foster?¡± Angel asked, lowering her eyes. ¡°Oh, yes, Jason Foster.¡± Alexia answered. Angel''s hands were clenched into fists, against her jaw. ¡°I think Daisy likes him.¡± Angel looked at Alexia and said. Alexia sneered, ¡°Daisy is daydreaming. Jason won¡¯t like her.¡± The Foster family was one of the four major families. Philip Foster has three sons. Brooklyn Foster was his eldest son born with his wife. The second son and the third son Noah Foster was born with his mistress, but was raised in the family in the name of his wife. Philip was a resolute and decisive person. He raised his sons in the principle of survival of the fittest. So in terms of the right of inheritance, Noah had no advantage. Preston and Noah knew their own identity, so they fought for their goals. The three sons were like a tiger. In order to show themselves in front of their father, they must constantly improve themselves and create benefits for the foster family, so as to stabilize their position and seize the right of inheritance. But the problem was that the brothers were quarrelling. The infighting between them would eventually be internal friction. In a situation where all forces were in bnce, marriage became another means of strengthening oneself. About a decade ago, the family''s infighting had reached a fever pitch. Brooklyn had two sons, Jason and the other lived in a foreign country. Preston had two twin sons and a daughter. Noah had two sons. Before Brooklyn arranged a marriage for his son, he lost hundreds of billions in an investment. That was almost all his possessions. Mrs. Foster as that time gave up her identity and took her sons to overseas. That ident finally was proved to be the result of Preston, who had been hunt down by his opponent. So far, the foster family fell in the hands of Noah. But who could tell what would happen in this world? In business, it was always stormy. Two years ago, a number of projects of the bonus chain were out of the situation, and arge number of funds were needed. The four big families had always been fighting each other, but now they were ready to help the Foster family to tide over difficulties. However, the foster family suddenly got overseas capital injection and didn¡¯t need help from other families. Then the Foster family was under control by Brooklyn, who hade back. Overnight, the Foster family had changed. Brooklyn carried a huge amount of money into the Foster Group. He was one of the legal heirs, and his wealth could be worth more than half of the Foster Group''s. Neither the Foster Group¡¯s shareholders nor Foster family members had any reason to refute. He had been disappeared for ten years, but ten yearster, he came back to take his things back. The Foster Group¡¯s internal rectification, handover and transformation hadpleted in less than half a year. ¡°Do you know who did that in the Foster family?¡± Alexia said, stirring her sd. Angel listened quietly and shook her head, even though she knew about it. ¡°It''s Jason, the eldest son of Brooklyn, a 28-year-old man.¡± Alexia sighed. ¡°I have always been sympathetic about your brother. Your mother died and your father is capable, so your brother has to bear such a heavy burden at such a young age. He became more and more silent. Until I met Jason...¡± ¡°I think some people are born with a heavier burden than others, and they can bear it. We had cooperation with Jason, but my employee cannot stand it.¡± ¡°My employees are elite of the Duncan family, but they still can¡¯t keep up with Jason. They said they he probably sleeps with his eyes open and has aputer chip imnted in his head.¡± Alexia shook her head. ¡°I knew him since he was a child. He was a warm boy, but when he grew up, he is like a monster.¡± Angel said nothing. ¡°Angel, there''s a lot of rivalry between the rich and the powerful. The Foster family is moreplicated than the Duncan family. My brothers and uncles are always thinking of themselves for their immediate interests.¡± ¡°The foster family is different. Even if they have internal fight, they will ensure the foster family''s own interests, which cannot be done by other families. ¡°This is why the Foster family has survived several crises and is still at the head of the four major families. Your brother was the only one shouldering the family burden.¡± Alexia calmly analyzed. Angel reached out and patted her hand. ¡°The Duncan family has you! With you here, my brother will have less trouble. Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, he would not be able to shoulder such a heavy burden.¡± This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Alexia showed a smile, ¡°tterer.¡± Angel''s lips curved, ¡°It''s true! We don''t know what would have happened without you.¡± What she said was true. Their mother died early. If not Alexia was protecting them, Kyle would face many difficulties to protect his sister and protect his mother¡¯s things. After all, the former Angel made Kyle mentally and physically exhausted. Looking at her niece''s clear eyes, Alexia sighed, ¡°I was satisfied with you now. Your mother in heaven will bless us. I just want to help Kyle to raise the family, protect you and watch you get married.¡± Alexia put her right hand on her chest, smiling. Angel reached out her hand and patted her again. ¡°Aunt, you are still young. If my mother was still alive, she would arrange marriage to you. You are beautiful, you should have a boyfriend to love you.¡± Angel said andughed. As expected, Alexia said ¡°How dare you make fun of you! Wait, I will arrange a blind date for you, so that you have a boyfriend to love you!¡± Angel burst intoughter, and then realizing she was in a restaurant, she hastily covered her lips and lowered her voice. Suddenly, she met a pair of cold eyes. She was stunned. On the second floor, there was a person looking at them. Angel blinked and looked at that man carefully. He in a ck suit looked familiar, but Angel remembered of nothing. ¡°What''s it?¡± Alexia turned her head to look upstairs. ¡°Oh, nothing, someone upstairs was looking at us, but I didn¡¯t see him clearly.¡± Angel answered. Alexia did not pay attention to it. After the meal, Alexia received a phone call from thepany, sent Angel home and hurried back to thepany. Chapter 25 The Past Chapter 25 The Past Lingnan Cemetery in the evening was shrouded in a huge ck shadow. There were still flowers on Belle''s tombstone, but the flowers had withered. Angel carefully cleaned the tombstone and put down the lilies. Then she cleaned the tombstone with a wet towel. ¡°I''ve seen them all, and they''re all living very well. Belle is not forgotten, they are still using her.¡± ¡°I didn''t expect that the people who really cared about us were strangers without blood ties.¡± Angel let out a slight sigh. ¡°Angel, we must live a good life, a wonderful life.¡± The setting sun lengthened her lonely figure as she slowly left. A bouquet of flowersy beside the white lilies. Jason looked at the Belle¡¯s picture on tombstone, thinking of Angel¡¯s words. It seemed that Angel care about Belle. Belle, someone like me had engraved you in the heart. The Ferry Bar. Angel drank fast. Some things slowly cleared up in her heart. When she was a child, Anna took Belle to y with Jason, William, Laura and Jason''s cousin. Belle was always ordered to pour tea take sugar and wash fruit By Anna, she said Belle was more carful them servants. Belle relished it. As long as she could follow her sister, she was willing to do anything. Jason didn''t like to talk. The girls thought he was handsome, but he was boring. Therefore, Belle always was with Jason. Belle took good care of Jason and never bothered him much. Sometimes they sat quietly, watching others y. Belle used grass leaves to weave some exquisite gadgets and showed him, which made him smile. He looked good with a smile and sometimes he touched her head. When they were together, it was always very warm. Gradually, Jason only liked to be with Belle. Jason told her that when he grew up, he would marry her, give her a family and build a ss house for her to look at the stars. Belle felt very happy to hear that. She liked Jason. She wanted to take care of him for a lifetime. Angel drained her ss in one gulp. A warm me rose in her stomach. A woman¡¯s voice was heard, ¡°It is up to me who my son is to marry. His wife must be helpful to his career. There are many richdies, but not everyone is good enough for him. Belle, stay away from Jason.¡± ¡°Belle, Mariam and my mother are best friends. She treats me as my mother does. She wants me to marry Jason. I can¡¯t go against her.¡± ¡°Belle, Jason said he treats your as his sister. We will certainly build a ss house for you. Jason said this is what he promised you. He is your brother-inw, and he will take care you like before.¡± Angel drained her ss again in one gulp. Belle wanted to ask Jason. She wanted to know what Jason was thinking. Did he want to marry her or her sister? If Jasonstick to his own heart, she would not give in. It was the first time in her life that she had such a brave thought. But, Jason disappeared. She begged Mariam to let her see Jason. Mariam coldly said, ¡°Jason went abroad to study and won''te back a short time. Belle, you are 15 years old, do you parents know youe straight to look for a boy?¡± ¡°Jason is to inherit the family, didn¡¯t you understand what I told youst time? Hum! You are stupid, and not even half as good as your sister! '' The humiliation made Belle want to find a crack into the ground. At this time, Anna pushed William to her. William had also been a ymate, but he got along better with his sister. What boy wouldn''t like a princess? Belle had always been Cindere. Anna threated Belle with the future of the family, so Belle had to ept it. She didn''t hate him anyway. When she thought of marrying him in the future, she had all kinds of unwillingness in her heart, but her sister had told her that daughters of such noble families as themselves were all like that. However, if she spent life with William, it would be good. At least they would not disturb each other. She was the daughter of the Newman family. Her sister was right. If the Newman family was getting better and better, they would be happy. Then her sister studied abroad. Belle understood her sister was with Jason. At that moment her heart died. She packed her schedule, reading books, volunteering at the orphanage, and ying with Angel. She and William didn''t see each other very often, and William was so busy that they only met once when their families met. Belle liked such a distance. But those around her knew she was deeply in love with William. She always gave William a variety of small handmade gifts, writing poems and painting, everything. As Laura said, she fell in love with William. Only Belle knew what she fell in love with was an image. She was the daughter of the Newman family, and she was not qualified to fall in love. Belle''s love died in her adolescence. Angel''s tears crept down. She wiped them off and looked up to dry her ss. Later Anna came back from abroad. Something had happened to the Foster family. Brooklyn and Mariam left M city in a disgraceful manner. Then there was no news about them. The rtionship between Jason and Anna was only known by a few people. With the disappearance of the foster family, the matter came to an end. And Anna never mentioned Jason. And William who never came to the Newman¡¯s began toe frequently after Anna came back. Belle knew nothing about it. Now, After listening to her aunt''s introduction, everything was clear. Mariam and Brooklyn had a sense of crisis and tried to arrange a marriage for their son to solve the problem. Mariam thought highly of Anna. She knew which daughter of the Newman family was better. Besides, Anna¡¯s birth mother Erika Allen and Mariam was good friends. So, how did she know Belle liked Jason? Did Jason tell her? Or did Anna tell her? How did Anna know Jason was to build a ss house for Belle? In addition to her and Jason, no one knew about it. Angel had another drink. Belle was betrayed by everyone. She never had dignity. All affection and love were her own imagination. ¡°Hey, handsome, alone?¡± A sweet voice was heard. Angel pulled herself together. She was wearing a ck biker suit and a ck cap today, not a man''s suit. She was not going to make her brothers angry at a time like this. But it was clear that the slightly tipsydy thought she was a man. Angel was tall, so it is easy for her to pretend to be a man. ¡°Shall we have a drink? New here? I haven''t seen you around before.¡± The beauty had lifted her shoulders and sat down beside her. Angel, with n a slight smile, touched her ss lightly and drank it. She looked over her shoulder at the beauty beside her, who was wearing heavy made up. So she filled her ss. The beauty said with a smile, ¡°Are you going to get me drunk? You''re really good-looking. Come on, let''s toast. My boyfriend doesn''t want me anyway.¡± There was glistening tears in the beauty''s eyes. Angel raised her eyebrows. The beauty pointed to the other side of the noisy circle, ¡°Well, Laura and Daisy, do you know them? As long as they twoe, that group of men like flies would go for them. I do not intend to forgive him. I want to break up with him!¡± She spoke forcefully and desperately. The beauty drank up the wine in the ss and went to get the bottle to pour herself a ss. She was so drunk that she couldn''t see the bottle clearly. She stretched it twice, but she failed to touch Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. the bottle. Angel stopped her hand, poured her soda, and said, ¡°Don''t drink it. It''s not worth it.¡± Her voice was deep and masculine, the result of long training to match her role as Young Master Duncan. Beauty''s tears fell down. She could not get such concern from her boyfriend. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s not worth it. I love him, but he went to other girls.¡± She sighed, ¡°Men are cheap. If you are good to him, he will not cherish.¡± Angel looked at her again, and it was evident that she was a well-bred girl to be able to say such a schrly thing under such circumstances. The beauty finished the soda and then reached for the bottle and poured herself a drink. ¡°Let me drink,¡± she said quietly. ¡°Let me get drunk once and learn a lesson.¡± Angel didn''t stop her. Maybe it wasn''t a bad thing to get her drunk once. She took the beauty¡¯s mobile phone and looked through her WeChat and sent her picture to her dad. After inputting the address, she put down the phone and let beauty drink. In this world, all things were to rely on their own solution. Other people''sfort, after all, was useless. Chapter 26 drinking and Fighting Chapter 26 drinking and Fighting Angel took a sip of her wine and looked at the beautiful woman beside him. She wondered if the woman would remember her current mood when she woke up tomorrow. Perhaps tomorrow boyfriend made an apology, and she would forgive him. And then, things would go over and over again. Angel smiled. She heard that people in love had negative IQs. So, don''t bother with a fool. Let her drink if she wants to. Her family would pick her up anyway. Angel''s eyes fell on the side that the beauty had just pointed at. It was noisy. She didn¡¯t expect that Laura and Daisy were bar stars. It brought Laura much grievance when she was with Belle! It was hard for her. The beauty finally got drunk. Angel gave her a pitying look. When her phone rang, Angel picked it up and told her where they were. Then a middle-aged man followed by two tall young men came to them. ¡°Hanna! Two young men came to help the beauty. Another hostile one asked Angel, ¡°Who are you?¡± Angel reached for her hat and let down her long hair. ¡°I''m a passer-by. She came by to have a drink and talk.¡± At the moment her hair fell down, the two young men froze. The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice, ¡°Where is the beast?¡± Angel raised her eyebrows, knowing that they should be Hanna''s father and brother. ¡°You''re looking for her boyfriend?¡± She asked. ¡°Do you know him?¡± asked a young man. Angel shook her head and pointed toward the other side of the noise. ¡°She told me her boyfriend left with another woman.¡± The two young men thrust the beauty into their father''s arms and rushed to the other side. Angel smiled. Were all brothers the same? She suddenly missed her brother and Alfie. The middle-aged man lifted his daughter into him arms and said to Angel, ¡°Thank you, girl.¡± Angel chuckled and shook her head. The middle-aged man looked at her and said gently, ¡°You are also drunk. Do you want to call your family to pick you up or shall we give you a ride? It''s not safe to be out alone at thiste hour.¡± Angel was stunned. She or Belle had not been cared by their fathers. Then smiled, ¡°Thank you! My brother will pick me upter.¡± The middle-aged man said nothing, fumbled in his pocket and handed her a name card, ¡°This is my name card. If you need me in the future, you cane to me. I know you are a good girl at first sight. I hope you can be my daughter¡¯s friend. A fight had broken out over there. The middle-aged man nodded to Angel and walked past with his daughter in his arms. Angel looked to the other side of the room and shoved the card into the phone case. Angel was drunk because she felt the door of the bar shaky. So she stood on the doorstep of the bar and texted Aaron, thinking ¡°soberly¡± that she had made another mistake, but that she had taken a good attitude in correcting it. She felt that she could be forgiven. After sending the message, she strolled up and down the vacant lot in front of the bar. By midnight, all the neon lights were dimmed and the sky was clear enough that no stars could be seen. Angel suddenly remembered the man''s childhood promise to build a ss house to look at the stars. Naive, where in the city to look at the stars? It was an unrealistic dream so there was unrealistic oue. ¡°That''s her, beat her!¡± There was a sudden roar behind her, followed by a strong wind. Angel instinctively ducked, and without looking back, she raised her foot. Driven by her drunkenness and instinct, she had never thought of strength. The person behind her got kicked. Angel growled in her heart that this man was not strong enough. Eight people froze, and on the doorstep of the bar stood a man with bruise on face. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Go hit her!¡± The man covered his face and roared between his teeth. Some of the men behind with sticks winced, but at the thought that they have more people, so the emboldened to rush forward together. Angel''s alcohol-burning brain lit up. She nced at the iron bar that had fallen from the man who had attacked her, and with a pinch of her foot, the bar jumped into her hand. She put the cap edge down and showed an evil smile. It was a good way to vent anger with a fight. This was a ragtag group that had just been put together, probably a group of stupid wealthy second- generation. Angel did not kick them as hard as she kicked the first man. But it was easy to beat them up. There were moans and shouts of crying. ¡°Son of bitch, who are you?¡± ¡°Wait, don''t go, I''ll call more people toe right away!¡± ¡°Yes! We will kill you!¡± ¡°Ouch, it hurts! If you broke my leg, I will kill you!¡± Angel dragged the iron bar around them and kicked the person at her feet. She felt dizzy, supporting herself with the iron bar, ¡°What''s wrong with learning to be a goon? There is no sense of achievement to deal with you.¡± ¡°Ah --¡± came a drawling angry voice behind them. A dagger fell with a tter at Angel''s feet. The familiar cologne smell. Angel, full of joy, threw his arms around the tall body and rubbed him against the chest. ¡°Brother!¡± Feeling his body stiffen, Angel grinned and tightened her arms. ¡°You''re not mad at me, brother, are you?¡± Her hat fell off and her tousled hair spilled out. ¡°Angel!¡± ¡°Angel!¡± Two cries of surprise rang out behind her. Angel hugged brother tightly in her arms and smiled. ¡°Why are you sote? I''ve already had a fight.¡± A strong force pulled her, and she was held by Aaron. She wanted to look back for her brother. She asked him to hug her. Her dizziness made her weak and she fell into Aaron''s arms. ¡°Angel!¡± Heidi called her urgently. Aaron held Angel carefully and gave her to Heidi. Aaron nced at the moaning men on the floor, then at the man standing in front of him. Jason gave a look at the people at the foot, ¡°Take her back, I with deal with them.¡± Aaron looked at him deeply and nodded slightly. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Jason.¡± Then he left with Angel and Heidi. Zak came forward and said in a low voice, ¡°He is Aaron Russell, rank 7 in the Dark Flower List, and that little girl is Heidi Russell, rank 15.¡± Jason nodded his head and said in a cold voice, ¡°Call the police and take these people away.¡± He walked slowly back to his car. He had just finished a party and when he came out, he saw her ¡°walking¡± in front of the bar. He was curious and did not leave immediately. Therefore, he witnessed her good skills. Jason could not help but think of the first time he saw her. In a flurry, she was agile to avoid his hand, so that was her instinctive reaction. She must have been trained in a strict and systematic way, and Kyle had not made her into a delicate flower. They must be on good terms. She took him for Kyle. The word of the coquettish ¡°brother¡± was still in his ears. She leaned forward softly, as if the magical feeling was still there. Jason grabbed the mineral water to drink, pressing the feeling down. Belle never acted like a spoiled woman. Belle was always gentle to others. She always put other people''s feelings first. He always felt that Belle was wronged. He has been thinking one day he would marry Belle, stay with her so that she would never live for others. He wanted her to be a spoiled woman like Angel. Of course, he should the only person to spoil her. Unfortunately, there was no chance any more. Angel jumped up out of bed. She looked at her pajamas and felt confused. She dreamed about her brotherst night. He came! Too bad! She drank, and she got into a fight! Angel wailed. It was over! The door of the room was pushed open gently. Angel pulled up the quilt to cover her head. ¡°It''s me. There''s no need to hide.¡± It was Aaron''s voice. Angel pulled the quilt down to look at Aaron. After making sure there was no one else, she sat up quickly. ¡°Aaron, I had a dream about my brother and I was holding him. It was so real.¡± Angel said. Aaron looked at her and sighed. ¡°Couldn''t you be afraid of me?¡± Angel immediately responded, ¡°So I just had a dream? My brother''s not here?¡± Aaron looked at her helplessly. Angel was ted, and then frustrated. ¡°Is my brother still angry?¡± Aaron didn¡¯t answer such boring questions. ¡°Why drank? Why fought?¡± Angel got out from the quilt. ¡°Aaron, you''re like an old man. You''re only twenty-three. You can''t let me be afraid of you. There are already two mountains above me. Do you crush me to death? I am so lovely, can you bear it?¡± She said as she headed for the bathroom. ¡°You can choose not to tell me, but you have to think of a good reason to exin to the bosses, and I don''t even know how old I am. Twenty-three is your age.¡± Aaron''s voice was steady. Angel leaned against the bathroom door andmented, ¡°Aaron, you know what? You are more and more like Alfie. This chilly tone makes me have illusion, spare me.¡± She mmed the bathroom door shut. Aaron froze, and then sighed. He must have to report, because Jason helped her. And, the emergence of Jason was strange. Was it idental? He looked like he knew Angel. It was the first day Angel to be a teaching assistant to Professor Jordan. As soon as she arrived at Professor Jordan''s office, she saw a very spectacr scene. Books, materials and pictures were everywhere on the desk and on the ground. They were all tottering in piles. It looked like a second-hand paper collection site. Professor Jordan stood in a roomful of background papers, rubbing his hands excitedly. ¡°Hey, hey, Angel, look, I''ve got all the work I need you to do!¡± Chapter 27 Final Certificate Chapter 27 Final Certificate Angel reached out and rummaged through the pile of student books nearest her. ¡°Hugo, are you sure you sorted them out instead of just moving them out?¡± Professor Jordan smiled, ¡°Both.¡± He quickly changed the subject, ¡°Your PowerPoint presentation was great! Perfect! You know what I thought! Come with me to ss today and do this after ss. No hurry, no hurry.¡± Professor Jordan was absolutely thrilled. He pointed to the hot meal box almost submerged on the table. ¡°My wife asked me to bring you dumplings, stuffed with cabbage and pork. She said that you are too thin, and you should eat more of her cooking in the future. Angel touched the meal box and smiled. ¡°Your wife is good to me.¡± Professor Jordan wanted to win favor, but after looking at all the materials in the room, he had no choice but to be silent. Angel followed Professor Jordan to a ss. Professor Jordan proudly introduced her to the students and amazed them all. Angel wore a gray-and-pink checked suit with a chiffon shirt, ck cropped trousers, with hair pulled up, trying to look older and older. Unfortunately, her baby face didn''t work so well. Such a dress let her a bit more capable, but did not make her look ¡°old¡±. The students were suddenly attracted by her. Professor Jordan found the male students involuntarily sitting up straight body, so he said with pride, ¡°Do you want to date with her? Easy! Do not be absent from ss, hand in homework on time, meet my requirements of work design, and get A+ in paper, I will ask her out for you!¡± The boys cheered at once. ¡°Professor, are you serious?¡± ¡°Professor, will you keep your word? ¡°Professor, you can''t go back on your word!¡± ¡°Professor, I recorded, don''t go back on your word!¡± Angel was speechless. But she sat still with a perfect smile on her face. This unreliable old man was literally using her as a final certificate. Unfortunately, this group of students was with high IQ and low EQ. If the old man would fulfill his promise, he must be a false Professor Jordan! And the girls made Angel feel that she had be a perfect hedgehog. Then they finished a lesson. The ss atmosphere was surprisingly good. The more focused the students were, the more excited he became. And finally, he told the students that the 80-plus page PowerPoint presentation was made by his teaching assistant. It made the attention of the students fall on her again. So when Professor Jordan asked her to the next ss, she resolutely refused to be a reward again. The old man grinned, unconcerned. Without going to ss, he had a way of letting his students know about their ¡°rewards¡± for the semester! Angel stayed in Professor Jordan''s office to sort through the mountain of files that belonged to her. She knew that, except for the student information that needed to be registered, all the other information was found by the professor for her reference and study, which were all precious materials that could not be found outside. So, she was willing to be ¡°enved¡± by this crazy old man. It was already noon when Professor Jordan finished his ss. When he returned to his office, he was startled as soon as he opened the door. The office, which was so messy that it was hard to find a ce so stand, became so tidy that even the floor was spotless. Professor Jordan couldn''t help but walk out and looked around. He suspected he had gone to the wrong office. That was right! He pushed open the door again. ¡°Angel?¡± There was nobody in the room. His desk and chair had been rearranged. In front of the bookshelves there were four desks, on each desk were materials and books, neatly arranged, even the bottom of the table was filled. ¡°Here I am!¡± A voice muffled from under the table. Then she poked out a head and groaned, ¡°Hugo! Is it toote for me to go back on being your TA now?¡± Angel''s morning updo, fashionably done, had fallen apart. Her hair, which was loosely curled like seaweed, made her in face as polished as a jade. The id suit was draped over the chair, the chiffon shirtpels hung loose, the shoes were set aside, and she stood barefoot on the floor. Hugo Jordan burst out intoughter. She was still an intellectual elegantdy in the morning, but now she was the naughty lovely little girl. Angel stood there with an angry look. But immediately, her facial expression changed. She looked behind Hugo. Behind Hugo stood a tall young man with a light blue shirt and a ck three-piece suit. His coat was hanging in his arms. In the other hand, he was holding Hugo¡¯s teaching ns andputer. He looked at the woman standing in the sun with the same stunned look. ¡°Ah, Jason,e in.¡± Hugo said to Jason. Jason walked into Hugo''s office and set theputer on the neat desk -- the tidiest it had ever been. The pens were in the pen holder, the business cards were in the card holder and the pad of paper was in the note box. The big books were neatly stacked. No wonder Professor Jordan was about to exit just now to make sure that if he had entered the wrong room. If he had entered alone, he would have gone out without hesitation. This room was too inconsistent with Professor Jordan''s. ¡°Angel, I thought I was in the wrong office.¡± Hugo was excited, looking around. Angel put on her shoes quickly. Why was Jason here? She lowered her head to rearrange her clothes, slowly calmed her breath and reached out to put on her suit. ¡°Angel, Angel, what did you say? Stop being my teaching assistant? Now way, you can¡¯t regret!!¡± He gave a stern warning. Suddenly he pulled Angel to Jason, ¡°This is your senior! Come,e! If you''re too busy, you can ask him for help!¡± ¡°He is Jason! How''s that? Handsome?¡± The old man looked at Angel with little stars in his eyes. Angel lowered her eyshes as if embarrassed. Her fists were clenched at her sides. Her body tensed, trying to keep her breathing steady. Hugo said to Jason, ¡°Well, this is my proud student after you, Angel! You are her senior, take good care of her! Do you hear me? I didn¡¯t expect we gather in M City!¡± He leaned closer to Jason and said in a low voice Angel could hear, ¡°You have to help me keep her. You can''t make her go back on her words, understand? It is not easy to find a sensible obedient apprentice!¡± Jason had been pacified from the first surprise. So the proud student Professor Jordan had been talking about was Angel. He looked at Angel with a smile. ¡°Hello, Angel.¡± He had a soft sweet voice. Angel calmly raised his eyes, nced at him, and slightly bent his lip. ¡°Hello, Jason.¡± Hugo looked to his left and then to his right. ¡°Well, why are you so shy?¡± ¡°Angel, Angel?¡± He waved his hand before Angel''s eyes. ¡°If you don''t have a boyfriend, I will introduce you to Jason. He is single, excellent without shorings. He and your elder brother are alike, you will like him.¡± Hugo spoke with utmost sincerity. Angel red at him. ¡°Hugo,¡± she said, ¡°Would you like my brother to fly over to y chess with you and talk about my teaching assistant job for you? I can call you right now!¡± She said almost through gritted teeth. Hugo repeatedly shook his head, ¡°No, No, No, No, No, No, No, your brother is so busy, don''t bother him. Don''t, Don''t, I still want to live a few more years.¡± If Kyle knew Angel cleaned up his office, he would be angry. He looked at Jason and suddenly had an idea: what would it be like if the two met? Angel ignored him and took Jason as air. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. She pointed to the piles of materials under the desk and said to Hugo, ¡°Hugo, I have put them up in different categories. You must not mess with them. Otherwise, I will never tidy them up again.¡± She pointed to the paper in the corner, half a meter high, ¡°I want to take those home to sort out, do I need procedures to borrow them?¡± Hugo turned over, ¡°No, take them away. They are the materials of my earlier years of material, which has not been rearranged.¡± Once again, he felt that it was right to bring Angel back. Angel pointed to the meal box. ¡°I had the dumplings, please tell your wife they are delicious.¡± She smiled, so that everyone who saw her smile would feel that she had delicious dumplings. Hugo was pleased, ¡°I will tell her. She will be happy if you have her cooking every day!¡± ¡°By the way, how are you going to get the data back? Can you carry it?¡± Hugo patted that thick one pile, and then he looked at Jason. ¡°Jason, send Angel back, these are too heavy.¡± Before Angel could say a word, Jason nodded, ¡°OK.¡± Hugo beamed, looking at his disciples leaving. Downstairs, Angel holding the small part of the information in her arms looked at the pile of Jason effortlessly carrying and softly said, ¡°Hugo, I can call a taxi.¡± Jason did not speak but directly went to his car, opened the trunk and put the materials in. Angel tried to say something, but she never said it, and her eyes followed his figure. Jason took the materials in Angel''s hands and put them in the back seat, then pulled open the copilot''s door, looked at her and said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Angel.¡± Angel said nothing, got into the car and fastened her seatbelt. Jason started the car, and Angel told him her address. Jason nodded. Angel looked out of the window with her head slightly tilted. Chapter 28 Have a Dinner Chapter 28 Have a Dinner Belle took bus or subway to school when she was in college, so she was familiar with the surrounding of M University. Five years passed, the change here was not big. Angel had drunk a lot of winest night and had not slept well. Although Heidi had made her a refreshing soup in the morning, she was still exhausted from the whole morning''s physical work. As the car drove steadily, Angel dozed off. Before falling asleep, she was still thinking, Angel did not know Jason, because the Duncan family never let her appear in public. And when Belle took her out of the door, the foster family had left. So, Angel did know Jason. So, now she was Angel. He was the disciple of Hugo, the heir of the Foster family. But, what Belle made the mistake, Angel would not do it again. The sun shone on her, making her skin fair. Her brows were delicate. When she fought, she would wear an evil smile on the face. Her eyshes were long and thick, and when they were opened, they seemed to be fitted with proper eyeliner. When they were closed, they seemed to be perched on a pair of butterflies, trembling that people couldn''t help but want to touch them. Her lip color was light. When her lips corner curled, it would show an innocent smile. Jason had stopped the car, quietly looking at the sleeping girl. Her ck hair was slightly curly. Jason always had a feeling that this girl was like Belle, in addition to appearance. Jason reminded himself that Belle was nice to her and she must inadvertently learned the characteristics of Belle. It must be so. Belle liked all kinds of beautiful things. Was she so nice to Angel because she was good looking? Or because her intelligence and fortune made her distressed? Angel''s eyshes fluttered. Jason took back his eyes and pretended to look at his phone. ¡°Jason?¡± Angel woke up and looked outside. Had she fallen asleep? Jason faintly said, ¡°You are hungry, let¡¯s have dinner, and then I will send you back.¡± Angel was about to speak but her stomach duly growled. She was embarrassed. It was Professor Jordan who made her work as a coolie all morning. Even the dumplings could not save her stomach, leaving her hungry and sleepy! And made a fool of herself - Jason had opened the door for her. This was a very warm and unique shop, with small partitions. Although there were many guests, they were all quietly talking. It was not noisy, which made Angel feel good. Jason chose a corner of the position to sit down and ordered dishes. He did not ask Angel''s opinion, and she did not pay any attention. She looked around curiously. Jason helped her set the table. Angel whispered, ¡°Thank you!¡± Jason gently said, ¡°Hugo let me take good care of you in the future, so if there is any need, juste to me.¡± He reached for Angel''s cell phone, which had no lock screen. He saved his phone number in it, and added her WeChat with remarks: Jason. Angel was stunned, looking at a series of operation of Jason. She said, ¡°Jason, thank you for helping me in Yany Restaurant.¡± Jason was stunned. She only mentioned Yany Restaurant, and did not mention about yesterday, so it seemed that she was drunk and did not remember it. Aaron and Heidi did not tell her. He handed his chopsticks to Angel and said faintly, ¡°You''re wee.¡± Then he asked, ¡°You and your sister don''t get along very well, do you? I think she''s been very unkind to you.¡± Angel chuckled, ¡°We''re half-sisters. They suffered a lot to get into our family, so naturally they will me on someone else. And I happen to be the softest one.¡± Jason raised eyebrows, ¡°You seem not to care about them.¡± Angel smiled. ¡°What should I? There are so many good things to do in the world, why bother with something that isn''t?¡± Jason showed a smile, ¡°Reasonable. I heard from Hugo that you are a good student. You are 23 years old and you will graduate this year with a PHD, you are awesome.¡± Angel nced around at the customers and smiled faintly. ¡°What''s the big deal? I just studied when everyone else was eating and sleeping. I was an idiot caused by fear.¡± Jason was astonished at her straight forward with frank, ¡°An idiot?¡± Angel nodded. ¡°Yeah, you''re not a local, right? All the big families in this city know that there''s an idiot youngdy in Duncan family, and that''s me. And then I had a terrible car ident, and I didn''t expect to be able to live and became normal. So I made up for the years I had wasted, and studied hard.¡± Angel paused, ¡°Everything in this world is very difficult. Even if a cook, a waiter has its own hardships. But the study is the fairest thing, you gain if you pay.¡± Jason praised her, ¡°So the teacher likes you very much. Angel''s hands were resting on her chin, ¡°When Hugo liked a person, he would praise him so much, magnifying his merits and using them as a foil to his own extraordinary qualities.¡± Jason smile. She should be familiar with Hugo''s temper, like Belle. Hugo often signed when he mentioned Belle. When the dishes served, Angel''s eyes lit up. Jason knew she would like the dishes he ordered. She liked meat like Belle. He ordered Belle''s favorite dishes. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Angel picked up the soup spoon to fill a bowl of soup and handed it to Jason, ¡°Thank you for inviting me to dinner!¡± Jason was shocked by her smile. Belle must like her pure and clean smile. He took the bowl and whispered, ¡°You are wee.¡± The mood was throbbing. Belle, when having a meal with him, always gave him rice or soup to him first. Angel took the first sip of the soup and eximed, ¡°Wow, good!¡± Jason was absent-minded. Her demeanor and action was the same with Belle! Angel looked at Jason, ¡°Had you grown up in foreign country? Hugo said you became his student when you were in M Country.¡± ¡°I''m a local, but I was sent abroad when I was 18, and I didn''te back until two years ago,¡± Jason said, ¡°So I did not know you.¡± Angel tucked a slice of pork into her mouth. ¡°Delicious. Well, it''s normal not to have heard of me. My dad considered me a disgrace, and the less people know about me, the better.¡± Jason looked at her. It should be a sad story, but she was like telling others¡¯ story. But she waspletely indifferent, as if these things were all normal. Facing a girl who had such a bumpy life but tried to live well, who could have hard heart to her? Jason thought Belle must be soft when she faced such a girl. Angel from the dish took a shrimp, peeled the shell, and then said, ¡°I think you are not order than my brother, you don¡¯t know each other. Do you know William, Anna?¡± She did not mention Belle. Jason looked at Angel who dipped in the sauce and froze. He nodded slowly. ¡°Yes.¡± Belle was good at taking care of others. Once had dinner in the Newman family, she silently shelled shrimps for him and Anna, but she had not had one. He and Anna never touched troublesome food, unless someone helped them. Angel looked at him. Jason''s eyebrows were engraved Belle¡¯ heart. At the moment he, drooping eyes, covered his mood. What did he think of? Wasn¡¯t he familiar with those people? But he was indifferent, even to Anna. Angel shelled another shrimp. ¡°Weren''t you with them when you went abroad? You can all y together, can''t you? You have simr backgrounds and simr ages. I suppose you are all from that elite school?¡± Jason slowly raised his eyes, served her kale and shook his head gently, ¡°I was suddenly sent abroad by my family. For more than a year, in addition to my tutors of various courses, I had not met anyone, including my parents, and no way to contact with others.¡± ¡°Then my family''s business went wrong. I went to college and managed my family''s business while studying. For some unavoidable reasons I lost contact with everyone.¡± Jason''s tone was slow and serious. But every word was carefully considered. He did not know why he had to exin all this patiently. But he said it anyway, to a little girl who didn''t know and probably wouldn''t care at all. The girl didn''t care about herself or her family, so how would she care about other people? Angel took his every word seriously as if it was precious. The two stopped talking. Jason gently stirred the soup in the bowl. Angel kept shelled the shrimp. Finally she understood why Jason suddenly disappeared at that time. Angel felt relieved atst. Chapter 29 Ill Take Care of you Chapter 29 I''ll Take Care of you ¡°William, Anna, this is the restaurant rmended highly by Betty Wong. She said that some dishes are very delicious. Let¡¯s try together. If it is good, we can gather there in the future. The environment here is really good.¡± A charming and pleasing voice came. Angel clung to her hand, and the sharp spines of the shrimp''s head pierced her fingertips. A drop of blood appeared. ¡°What''s the matter?¡± Moving faster than his voice, Jason grabbed Angel''s hand and pulled out a wet tissue to wipe the juice off her fingers, along with the blood. Angel withdrew her hand, put the finger in her mouth and sucked it. ¡°It''s all right, it''s all right.¡± Jason was stunned. Did every girl react and act like this when her finger was pricked? Why did she act like Belle? Angel had looked behind Jason. William, Anna and Laura. What a coincidence! ¡°Angel?¡± Anna came over in surprise. ¡°Fancy meeting you here.¡± Anna¡¯s voice was soft. Even if you don''t look at her face, only this charming voice would catch a lot of attention. Angel stood up. ¡°Hello, Miss Anna.¡± Anna showed a sad expression on her face and sighed softly, ¡°Angel, I heard from Alexia that you were hurt, so you don¡¯t remember anything in the past, but it doesn''t matter. We can build up our rtionship again. You are my sister''s best friend, and from now on, you can call me ¡°Sister¡± like her.¡± The she said with a soft smile. ¡°What nonsense! If I were at school, I would have called you Miss Angel.¡± She covered her lips slightly and smiled at Angel. Angel could not help but think she was gentle and sensible. Her eyes fell on Jason. Anna was surprised to see him, ¡°Jason? What are you doing here?¡± Jason stood up and said lightly, ¡°Anna, William, Laura.¡± William came forward and said with a smile, ¡°Jason? What a surprise to meet you here! I heard it has to make an appointment half a month in advance to see you. We''re in luck today.¡± His eyes flitted over Angel, recognizing her as Professor Jordan''s student, the eldest Miss Duncan. Thinking she was only a rich daughter, he did not pay much attention to her. But it was rare to meet Jason, so he could not waste this opportunity. Jason¡¯s tone was insipid, ¡°What is it?¡± William immediately said, ¡°I heard that you bought thend in the eastern suburbs. My father told me that I must make clear the general n of your family and see if there is any opportunity for cooperation. I made an appointment with you for several times, but was blocked by your secretary.¡± ¡°Well,e straight to me tomorrow afternoon, and I''ll tell the secretary.¡± Jason said. ¡°Great!¡± William did not expect that. Jason¡¯s attitude had never changed. He nced at their table. ¡°Why don''t we eat together?¡± He smiled to Jason and the two beauties. Anna and Laura fixed their eyes on Jason. While Jason only looked at Angel nobody noticed. Angel smiled delicately, ¡°Jason, I finish, I have something else to do, so I am leaving.¡± ¡°I''ll send you.¡± Jason said without hesitation. Angel shook his head. ¡°No need, I''ll just get a cab myself.¡± Jason said to William politely, ¡°William, see you tomorrow.¡± He gave Anna and Laura only a slight nod, then motioned to Angel, ¡°Let''s go.¡± ¡°We are Professor Jordan''s students,¡± Jason said faintly. ¡°Oh, then Jason is your senior, Anna. You are Professor Jordan''s student.¡± Laura giggled. Jason and Angel did not speak but walked out. Angel didn''t say hello to any of them. Laura stopped her smile in embarrassment, ¡°Did I say anything wrong?¡± Anna looked at the back of two people and said nothing. Back in the car, Angel fastened her seat belt and asked Jason, ¡°Will it be a bad idea to leave like this?¡± Jason started the car, ¡°We can talk about business in thepany. We have no personal contact.¡± Angel was surprised. She asked, ¡°Anna studied abroad too. Wasn¡¯t she with you?¡± Kwon gave her a strange look and shook his head. ¡°I don''t know when or where she studied abroad. We have known each other since childhood, but we are not close friends.¡± Angel looked at Jason¡¯s side face, feeling pleased. Stopping the car at a red light, Jason suddenly turned his head sideways and asked, ¡°Angel, have you ever lost your memory?¡± Angel was shocked. This was the first time Jason said so. Angel looked out the window and said faintly, ¡°Selective amnesia. I only remember the people I want to remember, as for the ones that don''t matter -- I don''t have enough memory.¡± Jason was silent. Angel spotted their car on the curb and pulled over. She looked at Jason in surprise. Jason parked the car, with his hands on the steering wheel, looking ahead. After being silent for a moment, he turned to look at Angel. Jason cleared his throat and said, ¡°Angel, Anna and I are not familiar, but I once promised to Belle that when she grew up, I will marry her.¡± Angel was pleased to hear that. ¡°Unfortunately, she died. I was forced to leave, and when I regained my freedom, she was long gone.¡± Jason turned look at the other side of the window, trying to calm himself down. Angel looked after him without moving. She could not move, she could not think, her heart was beating fast, and her fingers were trembling. Looking at Angel again, he had calmed down and said slowly, ¡°I don''t even know what happened. She was gone as if she had never been in this world.¡± ¡°All I can do now is look for traces of her. If you don''t remember her, that''s fine. I just want to do something for her. She chose to take care of you, and now she''s gone, so let me take care of you.¡± Jason had never had such a long sentence. He had been a silent man since childhood. Except for the time he promised Belle, he had never said such a long sentence. Big tears rolled down Angel''s face and she wiped them away. Tissue was handed over. Angel pressed the tissue to her eyes and looked away. Jason did not disturb her, looking at her slightly trembling shoulders. He understood that Angel did not forget Belle, she just used her own way to remember Belle. Angel turned her face back to him with a tearful smile. ¡°Can Ie and see you more often?¡± Jason nod, ¡°Yes, I gave you my private number. You can call me.¡± Angel''s tears fell again, but she nodded with a smile. ¡°Can I call you at any time?¡± Jason nodded with a smile, ¡°Yes.¡± His tone was gentle. And Angel was happy. It didn''t matter what had happened. The point was, she was dead, and he remembered the promise. That was enough! If he wanted to know, she would tell him. But now she didn''t want to say a word. She would take care of it Her mind shed Anna¡¯s eyes looking at Jason. She had never wanted to give up! Even now, her boyfriend was William, but she still wanted to be with Jason. William was like a fool. No, Belle was the fool. She got cheated and killed. Laura should be the person knew about everyone! Interesting! Things would turn full circle. She would wait and see everyone¡¯s fate! At weekend, at the request of yton, Angel would return to Duncan¡¯s for one night. Alexia was on a business trip and could note back. She called Angel and asked her not to go back on her own. She was worried. Angel didn''t care. She was a Duncan. The would not kill her. She would go back to the Duncan family sooner orter. Alexia had to send the driver to take her back to the Duncan¡¯s. Angel never rejected arrangement of her aunts and brothers. Because she knew it was the only way to reassure them.

Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Because Alexia was strong, her driver was respected by the families, so if he took Angel home, Angel would be safe. Angel thought if she came alone, she would be ignored by the servants. Angel met Leo in the living room, who had juste back from the outside. Just at a nce, she was stunned. Leo wore a ck jacket and a ck cap. Angel blinked. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she didn''t have illusion. Angel almost choked on her own spit. Angel could not help but think if the ¡°Young Master Duncan¡± was like this. He looked like a hood. She forced herself to resist the urge to cover her face. She could not stand it. Chapter 30 Sisters Quarrel Chapter 30 Sisters Quarrel Maisy and Daisy came down from upstairs. ¡°Brother, why are you back so early today?¡± Daisy said to Leo. Leo kept his fingers busy on his phone without raising his eyes. Maisy said to his daughter, ¡°Don''t bother your brother. He has been exhausted these days.¡± She turned to Leo and said, ¡°How are you today, son? Are you hurt?¡± Leo coldly hummed, ¡°Hummed! Why I have to imitate him!¡± Maisy said with a smile, ¡°Son, endure it. It is your chance to turn over. Your grandpa¡¯s birthday party is in the next money. The Wright family wille, you must take the opportunity to perform well.¡± Leo¡¯s game failed. He put down the mobile phone and said angrily to Maisy, ¡°Did I have to imitate a man who had never showed up? What if that man suddenly shows up one day?¡± Maisy signed Leo stop talking and lowered her voice, ¡°Don''t talk nonsense. What are you talking about? You''re Young Master Duncan. You are not imitating anyone.¡± Leo didn''t say anything, but picked up the phone again. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± asked Daisy. Maisy stared at her, ¡°Go and check the kitchen. I heard that idiotes back and went to the kitchen. Stay away from her and leave her alone until everything settles down on your brother.¡± Daisy''s lips curled. ¡°I don¡¯t want to pay attention to her.¡± Her eyes rolled. ¡°But what does that idiot have to do with my brother?¡± Maisy roared, ¡°Don''t ask! Have a good performance. Your brother''s business is the most important now. I''ll talk to youter when the matter between your brother and Miss Phoebe is settled. Don''t get into trouble!¡± Daisy stopped talking. In fact, her mother only had her brother in eyes, because her brother could help her to stand firm in the family. She only paid attention to Daisy when she had more energy. So, she had to fight for her own future and her goal was Jason. When she became Mrs. Foster, she would not pay attention to this family. Her mother and brother would try every means to please her. Hum! But she was angry when she thought of Angel. She was an idiot but she was born in a rich family. It was said that the property her mother left her was equal to half that of the Newman family. And she had a capable brother. But Daisy¡¯s brother could not protect himself, leave alone to protect her. God was not fair. Hum! Why not provoke her? Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡®I''ll mess with her!¡¯ At this thought, Daisy got up and went to the kitchen. Angel was not in the kitchen. Alexia''s driver sat on a chair at the door of the kitchen to help the cook pick vegetables. Daisy went upstairs. Angel''s room was on the fourth floor. Angel was looking at everything in her room. Her room was the same as when she left it five years ago. With the protection of Kyle and Alexia, no one dared to mess up with her. Angel sighed lightly. In a way, Angel was actually much happier than Belle. There was a lovely porcin doll on her desk, which was given by her brother when he went abroad in those days. She ced it on the desk. When she woke up in the morning, she would felt peaceful when she saw it. She took out her phone to take a picture of the doll and sent it to her brother. Her brother was angry with her and had been ignoring her. She would send her brother a picture of her smiling face every day. But her brother never answered her once. He was angry and she had to continue to coax him. ¡°Brother, this porcin doll was given to me by you a long time ago. Have you forgotten it?¡± She sent him a WeChat voice. She knew her brother would listen to it, but he refused to reply her. She sat down at her desk and opened the drawer. The phone rang. ¡°You went back to the Duncan¡¯s?¡± It was from her brother. ¡°Brother, you finally replied to me. Are you still angry with me?¡± Angel send a voice to him. No more. Not even a word. Angel didn''t give up but requested video call! There was no answer. Oh, her brother was cruel. Angel pouted. ¡°Bang!¡± There was a loud bang in the doorway, and Angel was frightened. The phone dropped to the ground. Daisy had rushed in. ¡°Hey! What are you doing here?¡± Daisy barked at Angel. Angel''s eyes narrowed as she looked at the haughty Daisy, with her memory flickering through her mind. Daisy never knocked when she walked into her room! ¡°I''m in my own room.?¡± Her voice was cold. Daisy paused for a moment, and then gnashed her teeth. ¡°How dare you talk back?¡± And with that she sprang to pull Angel''s hair. But before her hand had touched Angel, she tripped over something and hurled herself against the windowsill, where she fell. Angel eximed, ¡°Oh, Daisy, what''s the matter with you?¡± There was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door, and Angel went to help Daisy. Angry, Daisy struggled to her feet, shoving Angel away with her hand. Angel was thrown backwards by her, hitting her back on the table. ¡°Ouch!¡± The servants came in and were greatly surprised, ¡°What''s going on, Miss Angel, Miss Daisy?¡± The two men were helped to their feet, and Daisy broke away the servant''s hand and rushed at Angel. ¡°Bitch! Get out of here!¡± She was going to hit Angel. ¡°Ah!¡± Angel hid behind the servant, Amaya, with her head in her arms. Amaya was so anxious that she caught Daisy''s hand and said, ¡°Miss Daisy, don¡¯t do that!¡± ¡°What? I''m kicking the idiot out! I hate her!¡± The servants were frightened and anxious when Daisy lost her temper. The timid servant hurried out to tell someone about it. Amaya had worked in Newman family for a long tiem, so every one respected her. Amaya was tall and brawny. She held Daisy''s hand and Daisy could not break free. ¡°Amaya, get out of my way. Leave my business alone.¡± Said Daisy sharply. ¡°Miss Daisy, Miss Angel is your sister!¡± Amaya said. As soon as Angel came back, she went into the kitchen, saying she wanted to make food for her grandpa. She did not look like an idiot. In these five years, Angel had been protected by the Kyle, afraid that she would get bullied. This home, sooner orter, belonged to Kyle. Amaya, at the thought of this, was determined to protect Angel. ¡°Angel? What''s going on over there?¡± A low stern voice broke out. All the people present were startled. Angel unconsciously looked at her phone. Just then she was startled by Daisy. She dropped her mobile phone on the ground, and before she could pick it up, Daisy rushed over. She didn''t expect that Kyle epted her video call at the moment the phone dropped. Angel picked it up quickly. ¡°Brother, well, I --¡± Angel''s mind was spinning fast, but her mind was tied. ¡°I hear Amaya''s voice, Amaya, are you there?¡± Kyle said. Angel looked at Amaya for help and handed the phone to her. Daisy winced in the silence of the servants. Amaya took the phone and was excited, ¡°Mr. Kyle.¡± ¡°Amaya, I heard it all, please help me to see if Angel is hurt.¡± Kyle''s voice was calm, polite and controlled. She looked quickly to Angel, who had just knocked her back against the foot of the table. ¡°Does you back hurt, Miss Angel?¡± she asked. Angel shook her head. ¡°It''s all right. It''s all right.¡± Amaya pointed the camera of the phone at Angel. Angel saw her brother''s cold face. ¡°Amaya.¡± Kyle red at her sister. ¡°Yes, Mr. Kyle.¡± Amaya respectfully said. ¡°Angel''s skin gets bruises easily. Please check itter. If there are bruises, rub it away for her. She can¡¯t take care of herself, please help me to take care of her.¡± Kyle''s voice was gentle. Amaya''s eyes got wet, ¡°Yes, Mr. Kyle, you rest assured, I will take good care of her.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Kyle hung up the phone. ¡°What''s going on?¡± Maisy came screaming. ¡°Mom -¡± Daisy pped to the Maisy, with infinite injustice. Amaya handed the phone back to Angel and turned to block her. Maisy stared at Angel behind her. Before she could speak, Amaya said, ¡°Madam, Mr. Frank and Mr. yton will be back soon. Let thedies change their clothes.¡± Maisy grabbed Daisy and said, ¡°Change your clothes. What did I just tell you? Have you forgotten?¡± Daisy stumbled, ¡°Mom! What are you doing? It''s not my fault. I didn''t do anything.¡± ¡°Don''t talk nonsense!¡± Maisy could noly vent her anger to her daughter. When they had gone, Amaya closed the door quietly and locked it. She looked at Angel and whispered, ¡°Miss Angel, make sure you lock the door when you go back into your room.¡± That was a piece of advice. Angel nodded, ¡°Ok.¡± Amaya smiled and sighed, ¡°Let me see your back.¡± Angel smiled and shook her head. ¡°No need, Amaya. I didn''t hit it hard at all. My brother just likes to make a fuss. Don''t take it seriously. Let''s go downstairs. Grandpa should be back.¡± Amaya was worried, ¡°Are you really all right?¡± Angel nodded his head and took her arm. ¡°Yes. I''m not a kid. Don¡¯t act like my brother, you will get old soon.¡± Amaya smiled, for Angel''s intimacy, and for the affection between the two siblings. Chapter 31 Filial Miss Angel Chapter 31 Filial Miss Angel Maisy''s heart was uneasy, she worried that Kyle would tell yton. Now the mainstay in the Duncan family was Kyle. No matter Frank or his three younger brothers could not assume the responsibility of the Duncan family. So yton set his sights on his grandchildren. That was why she had tried so hard to get Leo to marry Miss Phoebe. She had tried so hard to appease Leo these days. But Daisy made troubles to her. Leo''s marriage was up to Kyle, so, before Leo sessed, she must not offend Kyle. Kyle was far away, so she had no chance to offen her. But he sent Angel back. She did not understand why Kyle can be excellent? And her chilre could not be a match to him. What made her unbearable was that her children dared not raise their heads in front of Kyle. Actually, few people in the family dared to raise their head in front of Kyle. Thinking of it this, she felt better. She taught Daisy a lesson and did not want to listen to her exination but hurriedly went downstairs to wait for yton. If you Kyle or Angelined to him, she can timely exin. But things didn''t go her way at all. Everything was calm. yton''s face did not show any waves. Frank and his brothers talked as usual. Maisy felt relieved. She was in no mood to pay attention to Angel. But as everyone gathered around the table, Angel emerged from the kitchen with a casserole. She ced the casserole in front of yton. yton smiled. ¡°Angel? When did you get back? I didn''t even see you when I came in. Let the servants do this thing. Mind your hand, it is hot.¡± The maid said, ¡°Miss Angel came back in the afternoon and had been busy in the kitchen, saying she wanted to cook food for you.¡± yton looked at Angel with relief. ¡°Oh? Angel can cook?¡± Edward Duncan smiled, ¡°Mary, you must have done this for Angel. Well, Angel has the filial piety, right? Dad?¡± yton nodded with a smile as he took Angel''s hand. ¡°Angel, you are good to me.¡± Mary said, ¡°No, Miss Angel cooked it. She knows your have high blood pressure, so she specially cooked this soup.¡± The more she exined, the more convinced they were that she was acting for Angel. Angel took the lid off the casserole and handed it to Mary. Then she filled a small bowl of soup and ced it in front of yton. ¡°Do you want to taste it first, Grandpa?¡± She cocked her head and had a cute smile on her face. yton took a mouthful of soup and drank it. He took a second sip. ¡°This is not made by Mary.¡± He could not help looking at Angel. Angel leaned down and said in a low voice for all to hear, ¡°Then let¡¯t not give Uncle Edward!¡± The tone was so cute that yton burst outughing. Pointing to Edward, he said, ¡°Angel said she won¡¯t give you food.¡± From the interaction between his father and Angel, Edward understood what happened. So heughed and said, ¡°Well, Angel, youo are mad at me for belittling you?¡± Angel pressed her lips and looked at yton. ¡°Give your uncle a bowl,¡± said yton. Angel filled a bow of soup, ¡°Okay, I''ll listen to Grandpa.¡± Then she handed the soup to Edward, ¡°Uncle Edward, drink soup.¡± Even a fool would have understood the atmosphere. Angel''s face was so innocent that it was hard to get over the idea that she was an idiot. But what she did was not stupid at all. There were so many grandchildren in the Duncan family, but none of them did such a thoughtful thing to yton? It could tell from yton''s face that he was pleased by Angel''s little trick. These people might not be business wizards, or even talents, but they were good at reading other¡¯t mind. They thought their wiive and childrend should be closer to Angel. In Duncan family, if they wanted to win recognition of Kyle, they could only rely on Angel. And with Kyle''s support, they could have a good life in the Duncan family. Mary hurriedly poured soup into a bowl for everyone. Daisy sniffed the soup bowl in disgust, ¡°It smells so bad. How dare you give it to grandpa? Hum!¡± She had said it in a low voice, but her words reached everyone''s ears as clearly as they could. All eyes were on her. Before Maisy could speak, Angel said with a smile, ¡°Daisy, if you don¡¯t like it, you can eat something else.¡± She said to yton, ¡°I will try to cook a meal for Grandpa every week to make up for the filial obligations I and my brother own you¡± yton nodded. ¡°Good gir!¡± Daisy could not bear it any more, andid down her chopsticks. ¡°Enough, Angel! Do you realize you look disgusting? Just you and your brother are filial? Is it possible that Grandpa won''t be able to eat until youe back? Do you take us as dead?¡± Maisy pulled Daisy, ¡°Daisy! What are you talking about?¡± Daisy pushed Maisy away, staring at Angel with fire in her eyes. Angel''s face fluttered with fear. ¡°I, I just, I just thought, I haven''t been back for years, I just wanted to make Grandpa happy, I, I didn''t mean anything.¡± ¡°I think you deliberately show off yourself, deliberately let us make a fool of ourselves, you are evil!¡± Daisy was adamant. Angel was silent. She hung her head and did not know how to express it. ¡°Now you are pretending to be pitiful?¡± Daisy asked. ¡°That''s enough!¡± yton banged the table and roared. All gave a shiver. yton red at Maisy, ¡°Take your daughter away! Never show up again! '' Maisy was scared and quickly pulled Daisy, covered her mouth, ¡°Dad, I''m sorry, Daisy is temporarily out of control. I will teach her well!¡± She tried to pull Daisy away, but Daisy was so angry that she refused go away and began to cry. yton looked at Frank and said, ¡°How do you discipline your daughter? She doen¡¯t like ady at all. Aren''t you afraid of embarrassing our family?¡± Frank looked embarrassed, but did not dare to retort. The crowd looked at him and Leo. Loe looked like ¡°it''s none of my business.¡± Luke said, ¡°Yes, brother and sister-inw, Daisy''s temper should be changed. If she wants to bully Angel, she can''t hold other brothers and sisters back. We are thinking to let our kids to learn from Angel!¡± Edward said, ¡°Angel, don''t take it to heart. You''re doing the right thing. Let the other sisters help you too! It makes the family happy. It is good!¡± Frank was embarrased. Angel put her hand on yton''s arm and said, ¡°Grandpa, Grandpa, don''t be angry. Daisy is too young and was not sensible. Daddy''s so busy, so he can¡¯t pay too much attention to her.¡± She stroked yton''s back. ¡°Don''t be angry, Grandpa, it''s all my fault. I will talke with brothers and sisters to be good to you.¡± yton''s face softened. Not expecting that Angel woulde to his rescue, Frank nced at her. She looked sincere and anxious. yton''s face softened and he patted her hand. ¡°Angel,¡± he said, ¡°I am happy you are good to me. Come back often to visit me and cook some food for me.¡± Several young masters and youngdies under the inspiration of their parents quickly came over to coax yton. Only Leo and Dais were left out. Since then, every family knew that Angel was the real eldest Miss Duncan. Behind her there her grandfather, brother and aunt! If they wanted to get on well in the Duncan family, they had to be nice to Angel. Such talk did not only circte in Duncan family but soon spread outside. Daisy was the object of discussion, which made her embarrassed. Angel smiled. It was just the begining. Whatever they did to Angel, she would get it back. She told Kyle she did not remember, because she did not want him to vent her anger on her behalf. Belle''s principle had always been helping herself. So was Angel. Angel''s life began to fall into ce. During the day from Monday to Friday, she worked as an assistant to Professor Jordan, sorting out Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. materials, making PPT and criticizing students'' homework. She had a busy and fulfilling life. Sometimes she went to ss with the professor. The student showed much interest in this beautiful assistant teacher so that the normally sleepy office of Professor Jordan was now bustling. Professor Jordan was surrounded by fruits and snacks all day long. In all his years of teaching, he had never been so loved by his students. The old man was happy every day, and felt more sure that he had done the right thing to ask Angel to Angel looked at him and felt speechless. Fortunately, the old man epted all food but refused the requirrment to have a date with his assistant. This allowed Angel to focus on her studies and work. Chapter 32 Save the Workaholic Brother Chapter 32 Save the Workaholic Brother In the evenings, she usually went to Hart Lane to help Aaron and Heidi with everything on their to-do list for the day. She worked two shifts with the sales people on the team, but they were doing their jobs, and the work was going well. In a couple of weeks they would have their first product ready. At weekend, she woulde back the the Duncan¡¯s. And she spent the rest of the time with Jason. Since that day, since Jason showed his mind to her, Angel felt warm in heart. However, Jason was workaholic like her brother. He could work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Then, to harass Jason became Angel¡¯s routine. She lived beside her brother for five years, so she knew well about the operation of thepany and she could figure out Jason''s free time. For example, she sent WeChat messages three times in the morning, at noon and at night. ¡°Jason, what did you have for breakfast?¡± ¡°Jason, have you had lunch yet?¡± ¡°Jason where do you have your supper?¡± To her surprise, Jason answered her questions. ¡°Sandwiches, coffee.¡± ¡°Yes, I have.¡± ¡°Jinjiang Restanraunt.¡± Even if it was concise, Angel was delighted. But the work was never done! She sessfully transformed her brother and Alfie, she was sure she could transform Jason! She intended to kidnap Jason from his busy work! It was Friday night, lying on sofa, Angel holding her mobile phone. ¡°Jason, will you be off tomorrow?¡± Angel wrote and deleted for many times before she sent the messege. It was her first date, so she was nervous. In the meeting room of the Foster Group, Jason listened to the department managers¡¯s views on a new project with a cold face. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. The silent phone''s screen lit up. Jason took a look at. ¡°Angel: Jason, will you be off tomorrow?¡± Jason quietly picked up the phone and began to reply her. ¡°I have a meeting in the morning, but I have no ns for the afternoon. How about you?¡± Jason''s fingers stopped. And finally, he deleted ¡°How about you?¡± and sent it out. Angel immediately gave an adorable emoji. Then she said, ¡°Can youe with me to the orphanage?¡± Then she added, ¡°Last time I promised the children to send them picture books. I don''t have a car. Can you help me carry them?¡± Jason looked at the screen on a pitiful emoji and replied, ¡°Ok!¡± Angel immediately sent a happy emoji. Kyle smiled, looking at the emoji There was an instant hush in the meeting room. The vision of all people gathered on the face of Jason. Everyone''s thinking now was: Mr. Jason is smiling. Abnormal quiet made Jason raised his eyes to look at the public. Everyone avoided his eyes and looked down at the minutes. Of course, Jason¡¯s smile disappeared. ¡°Is there a consensus? Continue!¡± Jason said. Everything was back as it was. As if it was just an illusion of a dozen people. Spring of M City was short. It was warm for just a few days and the temperature climbed up. There was a children''s bookstore in the old city. Because the street was going to be demolished, the owner had to sell all the books at a low price. Angel had negotiated the price online and paid for the book, and was to pick it up during the break. She asked Jason to work as a porter and driver. This can kill two birds with one stone, namely she could ¡°harass¡± Jason, but also couldplete a meaningful work. Angel was here early in the morning. The owner set off an area for each customer, and all the books they picked could be put in the designated area. Angel was wearing a tracksuit today, ck sneakers, ck sweatpants, a yellow hoodie, a ck cap, and white rubber gloves. This outfit made her look like a bee. Jason parked the car and found this bee. He strolled over with his hand in the pocket of his trousers. The little bee was so busy that she ran into him with a pile of books in her arms. Jason stretched out his hand against her shoulder and grabbed the book in her arms, ¡°Be careful!¡± Jason''s voice was low. Angel rairsed her head in surprise, ¡°Jason? You are here.¡± Jason nodded. His eyes fell in the book in her hand, and Angel handed the books to him. She lowered her voice and said joyfully, ¡°I found hundreds of picture books in the warehouse. The owner agreed to sell them to me at a discount. Help me move them to your car quickly. I am afraid he will regret.¡± She pointed to the books in her section of the floor and ran off to the warehouse herself. Looking at her back, Jason was speechless. It was as if there were two people living inside her. Angelmanded Jason to move books,pletely regardless of his suit and his elite appearance. Two people worked together to move the books to the car. Angel took off her gloves and leaned on the car door, panting ¡°Oh, I''m so tired, so hot, so thirsty. If I had known this, I would have brought Aaron and Heidi here¡± Jason looked around and moved to a small shop. On his return, Angel was presented with a cup of iced lemon tea. ¡°Thank you, Jason!¡± Angel took it, took a deep gulp of the cool drink, and she refreshed. Jason looked at her smiling face, he did not say anything but pulled open the door for her. Angel sat in impolitely. ¡°It''s so hot, Jason, I want cold air!¡± Jason turned on the air conditioning. It was a few moments before Angel felt her soul finally return to her body. She copsed in the passenger seat and would have slipped under the seat if it hadn''t been for the seatbelt. Jason took a look at her, ¡°Did youe here early?¡± Angel nodded. ¡°Well, I bought many books and I feared it will run out of time, but this collection of picture books has been a surprise. The teacher will have something new to read to the children.¡± She nced at the books in the back seat. She leaned back in the chair and sighed as she yed against the sun with her fingers. ¡°Oh, I have spent out a month''s sry.¡± Jason, ¡°Sry?¡± Angel nodded. ¡°Well, I just got paidst week, it is not much. Hugo said I will get more when I have my own ss schedule next semester.¡± Jason took a look at the books from the rear view mirror, ¡°Did you buy them with your all sry?¡± Angel did not pay attention to the tone of Jason, but proudly said, ¡°Yes? How''s that? Not bad, huh? In the past, I --, Belle bought things to orphanage with money earning from her part-time job, but it was always not enough!¡± Angel could not help sighing. Jason frowned, ¡°Belle had a part-time job?¡± Angel nodded, ¡°Yes, my pocket money and her pocket money added up to be limited. Belle did not use my pocket money, she might be afraid that people thought she was in trapping the mentally retarded child, so, she did some part-time jobs.¡± Angel tried to keep it light. At that time, Angel had no idea about money. Knowing that Belle needed money, she gave Belle the cards and cash her brother had given her. Belle knew that because Kyle could not take care of his sister, so Kyle could only give her money. But she could not use Angel''s money, unless there was Kyle''s agreement. However, she did not have the chance to meet Kyle. Jason asked, ¡°What did Belle do?¡± She was a student, and the daughter of a wealthy family, so she had to take into ount the image of the Duncan family? Tutoring was definitely not for her. ¡°Paiting.¡± Angel said lightly. ¡°Her sister Anna asked her to design some clothes as required, and then helped her sell the manuscript and pay by the piece. Belle felt grateful to her sister.¡± Jason was in amazement. An uncertain thought lingered in his mind. But before he could ask, Angel changed the subject and said with a smile, ¡°Jason, I''m going to have a part-time job like Belle. I''m going to deliver food!¡± Her voice suddenly lightened. ¡°Deliver food?¡± He repeated her words. Angel nodded. ¡°Yes, I have spent out my sry. I still have twenty days to go before my next paycheck and I don''t have enough money for food!¡± Angel straightened herself up. ¡°Work at school is a bit heavy and I don''t have much time. I''ll just serve you alone. I will send you takeout every day, and you pay me! I cook very well!¡± Angel looked at Jason''s side face, waiting for an answer eagerly. Jason¡¯s breath was cold, Angel knew he was shocked by that Belle painted for Anna. However, she would not tell him those manuscripts were now taken out by Yydream Work Studio! That was between her and Anna! Jason said, ¡°I don''t need you to send me food.¡± Angel was offended at once, ¡°Are you afraid I don¡¯t cook well? You have to try it, don''t you? If you don''t it, you can return it!¡± ¡°The point is, if you don''t buy it, how am I going to make the money? What should I do without money?¡± That tone made Jason can not help but smile. The girl was looking at him. She was Angel! Kyle''s sister! And she said she had no money? Angel, beseeching, reached out and tugged at his sleeve. ¡°Jason? Give me face, save me from hunger.¡± Jason had no choice but to take out his wallet and throw it to Angel, ¡°You can take the card. The password is Belle''s birthday.¡± Angel picked up the wallet with a pause in her hand. Chapter 33 A Reluctant Memory Chapter 33 A Reluctant Memory Jason found her froze, ¡°Even you are busy, you need to have food.¡± Angel smiled. ¡°Did you have food when you are busy?¡± Jason did not answer. When he was busy, he did not have time to have food. Angel, seeing that he did not speak, said triumphantly, ¡°Hum! I know you didn¡¯t.¡± Jason smiled, ¡°How do you know?¡± Angel sighs, ¡°Don''t forget, I have a brother in your style. Not only him, his best friend, Alfie, is in your style.¡± ¡°I don''t know if they''ve eaten and restedtely,¡± she muttered. Jason took a look at her, ¡°Do you miss your brother? Then whye back?¡± Angel nced up at him and then dropped her eyelids, ¡°Well, that''s a hard question.¡± Jason could not help but smile, ¡°Have you done something bad?¡± His smile caught Angel''s eye, and she froze. Jason was particrly good-looking. She found it since she was a child and often praised him. In addition to Belle, Jason would darkedn his face when others said he was good-looking. Angel recovered. ¡°That''s the deal, Jason.No disputing.¡± Jason was not sure if Angel would cook, but he knew Belle could cook. However, his mood somehow improved. In the frontof Angel, he felt his emotions be pure. ¡°Here we are.¡± He stoppoed the car slowly ¡°Wait a minute. I''ll ask the security to let us get the car in.¡± Angel got out of the car and scampered to the secutiry. Then the gate opened slowly. Angel waved at Jason and motioned him to drive inside. Jason showed a smile and drove to the direction she pointed to. Jason always felt this girl touched his heart as if she was Belle. Jason parked the car, and Angel had called a few children to move books. The children came running over with shouts of joy. Angel shouted, ¡°Get in line, don''t push, don''t carry too much! Don''t be tired!¡± She put Jason on the side, and moved the books with the children. Jason came to help, feeling the joy of the children. Dean Lane and the teachers all came out to help. ¡°Angel, where did you get all these books?¡± The teachers were surprised was delighted. ¡°Angel is capable.¡± Dean Lane praised her. Angel was a busy bee again. Angel directed they to move to the books to the designated library and let the children back to ss. Dean Lane and two teachers left in the library. Dean Lane noticed Jason. ¡°Angel? This is -¡± ¡°Oh, dean, I forgot to introduce, this is my secior, Jason!¡± ¡°Jason, this is Dean Lane, this is Miss Chang, and this is Miss West!¡± Angel dropped what she was doing to make the introductions. Jason politely shook hands with Dean Lane and two teachers. Angel looked at the books and sighed. ¡°There aren''t enough shelves. We need two more.¡± Dean Lane said with a smile, ¡°Leave it alone, we can solve this problem. Take Jason to my office and drink some water, it is hot now.¡± Angel pulled Jason away. As soon as they stepped out of the corridor, children surrounded Angel. ¡°Angel, I''ve finished the homework you left mest time. Would you like to see it?¡± ¡°Angel,e and see mine.¡± ¡°And mine, and mine.¡± The children were shouting at her. Angel looked at Jason apologetically. Jason smiled, nodded to her, and beckoned her to go with them. Angel smiled happily, ¡°Jason, you sit here, I''ll be back in a minute, very soon.¡± She ran away with the children. Jason looked at her back. Did Belle do this before? Suddenly, his pupils narrowed and he caught sight of a familiar figure. He strode to her. ¡°Sofia?¡± He called her in a low voice. Sofia looked up and froze. ¡°Sofia, I am Jason, do you still remember me?¡± He looked at this thin woman, whom he might not have recognized if he had not known her so well. ¡°Hello.¡± Sofia said and truned her vision away. ¡°Sofia -¡± Jason did not know what to say. And Sofia had sat down on the stone chair. She did do not look at him, as if he did not exist, as if everything around her did not exist. ¡°Mr. Jason?¡± There was a voice behind him. Jason turned, ¡°Rosa?¡± Rosa looked at Jason, ¡°Is it really you? Mr. Jason?¡± Jason nodded, ¡°Rosa, long time no see.¡± Jade''s eyes lit up with tears. She smiled and whispered, ¡°How time flies. You have grown into an adult.¡± Rosa put a coat on Sofia¡¯s body, shook her head to Jason, beckoning him not to speak. She led Jason to the corridor and sat on the bench. From their point of view, they could see Sofia''s back, ¡°Mr. Jason, Mrs. Newman may not remember you.¡± Jason looked at Rosa in surprise. Rosa showed wry smile, looking at Sofia''s back, gently said, ¡°Miss Belle has gone. Mrs. Newmansuffered a great stimulus and had serious illness. Miss Bellel¡¯s room had changed into the study, and her things were thrown away. Miss Anna said it is for the good of Mrs. Newman. Mrs. Newman since then seemed to have forgotten everything connected with Miss Belle.¡± ¡°She''s not mad, she''s just shut her mind off. I sent her here and told her that it was the orphanage that Miss Belle had been supporting when she was alove, so she stayed and did what she could to take care of every child. But she has not mentioned about Miss Belle and was quiet at home.¡± Rosa''s tears fell. ¡°Mr. Jason, don''t disturb her. Let her be quiet. It''s good for her to be alone. I have sometimes thought it was Miss Belle''s blessing for her. At least she has a ce to go.¡± ¡°If there is no such a ce, Mrs. Newman would not be able to stand it.¡± Rosa wiped tears from her face. Jason felt distressedd, ¡°Rosa, I went to the hospital and the case said Belle had heart disease. When did she get heart disease?¡± Rosa gently shook her head, ¡°Miss Belle had been very healthy. She fell off the stairs one time and was sent to the hospital. It is said she had a concussion and a broken leg. She was in aa, and then she was detected with a heart attack, but she was gone in three months --¡± Rosa covered her mouth, repressed her not to cry out, but her tears had fallen down. ¡°Falling off stairs? How did that happen?¡± Jason frowned. Rosa shook her head, sobbing, ¡°That day Mrs. Newman and I went to book dinner dress. I don¡¯t know how she fell off. Miss Anna found that and sent her to the hospital. Miss Angel had a few for a dew days, I advised her to take a few days off school, but she said she had apetition to take part in.¡± Jason suddenly raised his head and saw Angel standing at the corner of the corridor, with pale face. Jason was stunned. Angel had turned and walked away at a gallop. Jasonforted Rosa and gave her his contact information. He took a look at Sofia still sitting in the stone chair, feeling sour. Jason strolled slowly in the courtyard and counld not find Angel. ¡°Can''t find Angel?¡± Dean Lane asked, smiling as he emerged from one of the ssrooms. Jason had to nod with a smile. ¡°Come with me. She must have gone into the backyard to y with the children.¡± Dean Lane took Jason to go to the backyard. Turning the corridor, he heard the sound of happyughter and screams before he saw anyone. They were ying games. Leading by Angel, the children behind her were running andughing. Angelughed happily, so that Jason could not help but doubt if she had heard his conversation with Rosa. ¡°Angel is different now. Not only is her intellect back to normal, but her whole being is different. I always have the illusion that I see Belle.¡± Dean Lane looked at the children with a smile and gently said. Jason''s vision fell on Angel. Angel was an enigmatic girl. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. These days she was so cheerful that he almost forgot how changeable she had been when he first saw her. She pretended to be weak in those rich girls. She bit her wrist to bleed in her car, and just now her face changed when she saw Rosa. Angel''s worries have been suppressed by her, and these worries should be rted to Belle. After losing Belle, she must feel painful in heart He had Dean Lane''s illusion too. He could see Belle¡¯s habit on Angel. When the bell rang, the children all went back to the ssroom, and Dean Lane went to look after them. Angel was exhausted and sat down alone on the yground, folded her knees and buried her face between them, as if she was tired and resting. Jason ran to Angel in hurry. Angel was found huddled and trembling. ¡°Angel?¡± Jason put his hand on Angel''s shoulder. Unexpectedly Angel rolled to them and and kick Jason. Jason dodged it, ¡°Angel!¡± He caught Angel by the shoulder and noticed that something was wrong with her eyes. ¡°Angel, what''s the matter? Angel?¡± Angel smiled faintly and muttered, ¡°Jason.¡± Jason was in shock. ¡°Angel, what''s wrong?¡± Jason covered Angel''s forehead and found cold sweat on it. Chapter 34 Cut her Bridges Chapter 34 Cut her Bridges ¡°Angel? What''s wrong with you?¡± Jason lowered his voice. Maybe the temperature of Jason¡¯s hands was too warm, Angel had a shiver. ¡°Jason?¡± Angel''s voice was clear. Angel''s legs gave way and she knelt on the ground. ¡°Angel?¡± Jason wanted to help her up. Angel took his hand and shook her head slightly. ¡°Let me calm down,¡± she said. Her palms were covered with sweat. Jason crouched down and looked Angel at the same level. ¡°Angel, what''s wrong? Let''s go to the hospital.¡± Angel shook her head. ¡°Palpitations,¡± she said calmly. ¡°I will be fine in a minute.¡± She closed her eyes gently and took deep breaths again and again. There was inexplicable voice in her ears and fuzzy figure was in the eyes. ¡°Miss Anna sent Miss Belle to the hospital.¡± ¡°Nobody was home that day.¡± What happened that day? Suddenly, a warm embrace surrounded her. ¡°Angel.¡± ¡°Brother.¡± When Angel woke up, she found herself in the hospital in surprise. ¡°Angel, don''t move.¡± A low voice sounded in the ear. ¡°Jason?¡± Angel looked Jason in surprise. ¡°Why are we in the hospital? ¡°You fainted on the yground, and I had to take you to the hospital.¡± Jason looked at her in worry. Angel pulled off the quilt and got out of bed. She had not had injection and seemed to be just watching. She said, ¡°Let''s go, I am fine.¡± ¡°The doctor told you to stay, Angel. Be good.¡± Jason stopped her and put her on the bed. Angel''s face grew paler and paler. She put her cold hand on Jason''s hand. ¡°Jason, get me out of here right now, or you''ll see me in aater.¡± With that, she shook off Jason''s hand and stumbled toward outside. Jason had to keep up with her. ¡°Angel ¨C" he tried to persuade her. Angel took hold of his arm. ¡°Just let me go and rest in your car. I had unstable hearbeat in the hospital. Jason agreed and carefully helped her to his car, put the seat t and let her lie down. Angely still with a cold sweat on her forehead. Jason gently wiped her sweat and found that the breath of Angel gradually slow down. Angel was in such a strange state. Angel opened her eyes atst. She slowly sat up and asked Jason to help her put the chair back. Jason handed her a bottle of water. She took a sip and heaved a long sigh. ¡°Frightened by me, right?¡± She showed a tired but familiar smile to Jason. Jason frowned. Angel sighed and put her hand on his brow. ¡°Don''t frown.¡± Jason grasped her wrist and did not let her touch his face. This action made her like Belle. He caught sight of teeth marks on her wrists, which were no longer visible. Was that what she bitst time? ¡°Angel, why? What''s the matter?¡± Jason looked into her eyes. Angel looked away. Jason stretched out another hand, pinched her lower jaw, and forced her to face him. Angel sighed and pushed his hands aside. ¡°I''m sorry I scared you.¡± Angel calmed down atst. ¡°Jason, five years ago, I was in a car ident from which I almost died.¡±Angel spoke very slowly. ¡°When I woke up, I just knew Belle had died. I could not ept it, so I went to her home, but they had changed her room. It was curled that they erased the trace of her existence. I was angry and vomited blood, and since then I had heart palpitations.¡± Angel¡¯s eyes fell on Jason¡¯s face. He looked distressed ¡°There is something I don''t remember. The doctor said it was a reaction to traumatic stress. I was very hostile to the hospital, so it was not easy to recover in the hospital. Later, I buried myself in the book and devoted myself to study, and I am fine. But when I came back, I found that a lot of old things would make me have it again, and this one was the worst.¡± Angel took a sip of water and looked out the window. ¡°I saw Sofia the first time I came here. Dean Lane told me about her, but I didn''t go to see her. Maybe she does not want to talk about the perious things too.¡± ¡°Angel, what happened to Belle in those days? I investigated about it, but nothing came up.¡± Jason said. Angel looked at him silently. Should she tell him? Would he believe her? Even if it was Jason, could he ept it? No! It was impossible. Angel closed her eyes. When she opened them again, everything was clear. ¡°Jason, I was kidnapped when I was a child, so I became an idiot. My intelligence had a problem, I didn¡¯t understand manything even if I am with Belle. Now I am sober, and I feel there was something wrong with her death, but I have no evidence, sorry.¡± Angel''s voice became low. Jason patted her shoulder and did not speak. Angel smiled. ¡°Belle must wish me to be alive. If she knew if you are alive, she would be happy.¡° Jason looked at Angel in shock, ¡°What did you say? Belle thought I was dead?¡± Angel looked at Jason''s reaction and thest doubt in her heart dissipated. She nodded gently, ¡°Yes, Anna told her, and she really could not find you, whether in the foster family or your secret base. She wished you to be alive, even if you were to marry Anna.¡± ¡°Why should I marry Anna?¡± Jason was confused. Angel took a deep breath and looked at Jason, ¡°Because your mother came to her and told her that she was not a match to her. Anna said, you have promised to marry her, and you will consider her as your sister, and she, as the daughter of the Newman family, must contribute to the Newman family, so, she had to marry William! But as soon as your family disappeared, Anna is with William again.¡± Said Angel slowly. Anna had always been acquiring anything from her, but in the end, she still felt it was not enough. So, she had to break Anna¡¯s bridge! Human nature was the most untestable thing. Anna had obvious intention to Jason and her means were dirty. Who knew if Jason would be fooled? This time, she wanted to strike first. In any case, she would give Anna any chances! Jason''s voice was very cold, ¡°I never promised to marry Anna, I never knew these things!¡± A faint smile curled Angel''s lips. The price Belle paid was too high. Jason was shocked. He never knew about these things. He thought Belle would stand there and wait for him toe back. She seemed to be docile, but in the heart she stubborn and persistent. He had a lot of things he had to do, but one day he could exin them to her, and he was sure she would understand him. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. He was so sure of Belle. But unexpectedly, he no longer had a chance to exin to her. He found her story with William, but he doubted it. Heard that Belle tried hard to approach William, he did not believe it. Belle was not that kind of person. And now Anna and William was a pair of unmarried couples, and that rumor of Belle was abrupt. Whether it was Belle was covetous her sister¡¯s fiance, or Anna got into Belle¡¯ rtionship, which was unfavorable the both family. There was a more important reason - Belle was dead. The Newman family, in the name of Mrs. Newman, buried everything about Belle. Angel went home, dug up the medicine he had not taken for a long time, swallowed it, and went to sleep. She was too exhausted to think of anything. She needed a dreamless sleep to calm herself. ... There was a reason why Hugo was called ¡°the ghost¡± at M University. If you wanted to take one of his courses and thought it was easy to get credit, it was a big mistake. The old man was serious about teaching. He was certainly serious about asking his students to follow him. The students¡¯ attitude could be seen in the homework There were weekly design assignments and monthly design assignments. He would carefullyment on everyone''s homework and tasks. If you were good, it would be much more beneficial in the future. After all, in this industry, he was a big figure. However, there were always a small number of people wanted to take the risk. Three people were publicly named for their design assignments handed inst week. They were suspected of giarism. Two boys, one girl. The girl was Anna. Hugo had never been a sentimental person. Anna¡¯s identy was nothing to him. So, he had no psychological burden to critize them. The students were in an uproar. Anna was popr, rich, beautiful and gentle. Everyone liked her. And the two boys, Harvey Cox and Aydin Barrett, were also born in a rich family. Every one knew how they got into the university. But no one ever dared to question them. The old man critized them! Aydin was the first one stood up and argued, ¡°Professor, you said I giarized. Who is the original author? What was the original work like? There''s got to be some basis, right?¡± Hugo took a look at him, ¡°Do you mean that I let you die for certain reason?¡± Aydin could not help choking. Anna had tears in eyes, looking innocent. That was far more damaging than Aydin¡¯s anger. After all, under the high pressure of Hugo, some people already disgruntled. ¡°Professor Jordan, why don''t you tell them where it came from?¡± ¡°Yes, professor, show them.¡± ¡°We respect your authority, professor, show us!¡± Hugo looked around the whole ss. He was indifferent to the ¡°public anger¡±. Aydin patted on the desk, ¡°Fuck! I''m going to see the principal! Even if I can¡¯t study here, I can''t bear this anger!¡± As a rich young man, Aydin had many supporters. ¡°Aydin, we support you!!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, the professor is not a big deal! He can''t wrong us?¡± ¡°Anna, stop crying. Let''s go to the student affairs office. We want justice!¡± ¡°Yes, Anna, don''t cry! He is bullying honest people!¡± ¡°We study from dawn to dusk. It is more tired than that we go to high school. And he still makes it difficult in homework. It''s inhumane!¡± ¡°Go! Let''s go to the Student Affair Office!¡± ¡°I''m quitting school!¡± ¡°Let''s go to the principal! ¡°Anna, stop crying, we are all on your side!¡± Feelings ran high and the ssroom was full of noise. Looking at these indignant students, Hugo could not help sighing and shaking his head. Now the students were worse. It was getting harder and harder to find talent. They were rich, so they were arrogant. The purpose of their study was not to improve themselves, not to learn more knowledge to equip themselves, but just get to a paper diploma. He did not want to teach such students. He wanted to see what the student affairs office had to say today. Impeach him? Good! That would great! He didn¡¯t want to teach them anyway. The back of the ssroom suddenly came clear apuse. The noisy voice suddenly turned down, and it finally left Anna crying. Anna looked back and surpressed her crying. The room fell silent and peered at the back of the room. Angel was wearing a more androgynous outfit today, ck trousers, light blue shirt, and a ck zer draped over her shoulders. She looked like a handsome boy, if not for her long hair falling. There was a slight sneer on her face. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she stopped pping her hands and stood up slowly. Chapter 35 Plagiarism Chapter 35 giarism The suit jacket slipped and she draped it over her arm. Both boys and girls drew a little breath. Angel was a beautiful woman, and her looks and gestures made like like a handsome man. Angel walked slowly down the steps. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. She nced over the noisy boys, smiling. ¡°As a TA, I appreciate your courage!¡± Her voice was pure and beautiful, but her tone was cold and full of sarcasm. Aydin and Harvey had not yet sat down, looking at Angel. If Hugo had spoken, they would have refuted. But facing Angel, they both gulped. They were thinking of their words. Angel had ambled up the steps and stood in the middle of the room. ¡°You said you got up early to finish your homework, but you got ndered by Professor Jordan. But is this your work?¡± She spoke sarcastically, casting a scornful nce at the rioters. ¡°You said that it is tired to study in a university, who told you it is not tired to study in university? Do you think you will have a good life and don¡¯t have to study hard when ou are admitted by M Univeristy? Do you think money can solve all the problems?¡± They were unpleasant. ¡°Miss Angel, you are still yong, do you¡¯t have to lecture us. We might as well tell you some great truths about life!¡± Instantly there were heckles andughs. Angel folded her arms and looked coldly at theughing men. Theughter grew awkward. Harvey said, ¡°Miss Angel, is there any evidence that we are giarism?¡± The man he found had been working for the students at M University for years. They were all original and without duplicates. Angel looked at him and, without looking back, pointed to a PowerPoint presentation on the multipurpose whiteboard. She was holding a page-turning pen. A design suddenly appeared on the screen. Angel looked at the design. ¡°Gee, this is the work of Harvey. It is original, ingenious, and bright in color. Harvey''s face could not help revealing satisfaction. Angel looked at him. ¡°Harvey, I just want to know who drew this picture for you and how much did you pay for it?¡± Harvey''s face changed and he said firmly, ¡°I didn''t spend money, this is my own design!¡± Angel''s lips twitched, ¡°Calm down, I just want to remind you that you got ripped off. If you didn''t pay for it, you lost nothing, but you''d better not use this man in the future, because it was so clear that he was fooling you!¡± Angel pressed the page-turner pen. Another picture was immediately shown, and the room fell silent. Angel smiled. ¡°Harvey, do you see now why I said you were tricked? Your work won a prize fifteen years ago, but the prize was not popr, so few people know about it. In our industry, fashion is important. This man must have thought that no now would know a work out of date.¡± The original work, the original author and the trophy appear on the screen. Harvey widened his eyes, ¡°Shit! How dare he fool with me?¡± Angel''s eyes were sharp. Harvey¡¯s pupils shrunk, ¡°Miss Angel, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m not scolding you but that man.¡± The ssroom was full of boos. Not all the students were the stooges of these rich families. Those who studied hard had long been sick of these rich second generation. But they could only dare to do so in Professor Jordan''s ss. They didn''t expect this young teaching assistant to openly challenge these people. Angel showed another picture, ¡°This is Aydin''s works. I can''t give evaluation to this great work, because of author happened to be a predecessor I liked. This one has not been published, but showed onece in a private exhibition. And you actually found it!¡± She nced at Aydin. Aydin recovered within a few seconds, stood up and said respectfully to Angel, ¡°Miss Angel, thank you very much for letting me know that I was cheated. I will never forgive that bastard.¡± Angel frowned. ¡°I don''t care about it, but if you dare do it again, I won''t let you go!¡± People around burst intoughter. Aydin touched his head in embarrassment and promised he would not do it again. Finally Angel''s eyes fell on Anna, whose eyes were full of plea. Angel looked at her with a half-smile. Two pictures appeared on the screen. ¡°As for Anna, being listed as a giarist is indeed a bit undeserved.¡± As her words fell, Anna straightened her back. Angel looked at Anna, ¡°because, she did not giarize the famous work, but her own sister''s original work!¡± All eyes were looking at Anna. Angel paused. ¡°Unfortunately, her sister happened to be a student of Professor Jordan. This work was never handed in as an assignment, but she sent it to professor to ask for his advice. She was professor''s favorite student, and if she were alive, she would be the teaching assistant.¡± Anna stood up and said in a soft voice, ¡°I''m sorry, Angel, I just want to let my sister''s work to be seen.¡± Her appearance was pitiful. Angel looked at her with a cold smile. She walked down the steps to the tform. Hugo gave the tform to her, and he did not say a word. Such a storm was solved by Angel. He took a look at Anna and thought if only Belle was alive! Angel, standing in the tform, said in a light tone, ¡°I may not be able to identify every copy of the work, but the three today are just very unfortunate. If you feel wronged, think I have gone too far, please go to the student affairs office or the president''s office toin. We will not have a problem.¡± Harvey and Aydinshouted, ¡°We are wrong, please forgive us!¡± Angel couldn''t help smiling. She exhaled lightly, ¡°Visualmunication art visually give people a kind of aesthetic enjoyment, more importantly, it conveys a message, a concept to people. Without good ideas, there is no good work, andposition is to solve the spatial rtionship between graphics, color and text. It is to speak for the client through designers.¡± ¡°You may have no respect for yourselves, for money, but please show respect for the real authors and stop spoiling their work like this.¡± Her tone was light and teasing at thest words, andughter came from below. Angel smiled, and her smile was instantly like a spring breeze. ¡°If you cane to my office to discuss topics, you are wee. I don''t need flowers or candy, but I will do everything I can to help you. Anyway, professor doesn''t allow me to touch any of the things you sent me. So he took them all. Didn¡¯t you didn''t find her recently got fat?¡± Everyoneughed louder. Angel looked back at Professor Jordan. The old man smiled and shook his head helplessly. Chapter 36 Here Comes the Takeout Chapter 36 Here Comes the Takeout ¡°Miss Angel, does this mean that we can make appointment with you?¡± Some boys heckled loudly. Professor Jordan immediately said, ¡°No way. What did I say? You have to hand in your homework on time, be on call at any times, your design meets the requirements, your paper get A+! Discussions with Miss Angel can only be held in my office and not out of my sight!¡± There was a roar ofughter and the boys'' cheers. In this materialistic age, it was good and rate that there were people who sincerely guide you! Harvey and Aydinwere not people who didn''t know how to be grateful, and Angel had saved them face. It amde Angel win the heart of this ss. She looked even younger than them, but she had such power and insight. Plus, when she spoke, she was so cool and handsome. The students turned into her fans. Angel was in a good mood that she gave a blow to Anna. How shameless to take out with her first year''s work! Anna was unbearable that she lost face in the public. It was just the beginning. A perfect person was like a fragile eggshell. It could''t stand beating. Towards noon, Angel packed up her things, picked up a meal box and headed out. ¡°Oh, Belle, where are you going? Won''t youe to the dining-room with me?¡± Hugo called her. Angel smiled back at him. ¡°No, Hugo, I have no mongey. I have to earn some extra money.¡± ¡°No money?¡± Hugo was surprised. She had got her sry a few days ago. ¡°It''s gone. I''m so poor I don''t have money to eat.¡± Angel replied without looking back. Hugo looked at her back and muttered, ¡°Girl, do you think I will belive you?¡± Angel did not hear Professor Jordan''s whine. She walked quickly down the stairs, paused on thest step and slowed down her pace. Anna was waiting for her at the door. ¡°Angel -¡± Anna¡¯s nasal sound was heavy. She must have cried. Her eyes were read but her makeup was still delicate. Angel stood and looked at her quietly. ¡°Angel, I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to deceive you and professor.¡± Anna reached out and took Angel''s arm. Angel instinctively stepped aside to avoid Anna''s intimate gesture. Anna wanted to cry, ¡°Angel, I --, is there any misunderstanding between us? You used to have good rtionship with Belle and you often came to our home. Don¡¯t you remember? Angel, I''m Belle''s sister and yours too!¡± Angel looked at her calmly. ¡°Miss Anna, you''re thinking too much. How could there be any misunderstanding between us? I don''t remember anything you said. Your sister was one of the professor''s students, she is my senior.¡± She exined clearly about their rtionship. ¡°But I didn''t expect you to hand in your sister''s work, which impressed the professor.¡± Angel said coldy. ¡°Angel, Belle has died for five years, and in the past five years, I missed her every day. You you don''t understand my feeling. I envy you that you can lose memory. If only I can lose memory. I know Belle had never handed in this work before, so I wanted her to be recognized by the professor. But I didn''t expect it to be misunderstood.¡± Anna¡¯s voice sounded sad and helpless. Angel looked at her with sudden relief. She was sure that Belle was framed by Anna. If it was not her reincarnation, she would believe her. It turned out that Anna had good means, and she was not a match to her. Angel sighed, ¡°Since it is a misunderstanding, then you go to exin to the professor. For the sake of Belle, the professor will fogive you, after all, you are kind. But don''t do it again. Or it''ll look like you''re taking advantage of someone who''s been dead for years.¡± She said and strode out of the room, not wanting to look at the woman again. Anna held back her tears in a second. She stared Angel¡¯s back and clenched her fists until her fingernails were broken. Angel took a taxi to the the Foster Group. She had asked her brothers for permission to drive, but had yet to get an answer and, given her ¡°many sins¡±, she thought she better gave up. Anyway, taking a taxi was convenient. If it was not back to the Duncan¡¯s, she did not need Tommy. Sitting in the taxi, she sent a message to Jason, ¡°Jason, takeaway has been on the road.¡± Plus a cute smiley face. Momentster, Jason replied, ¡°Ok, I will send someone down to pick you up.¡± Angel smiled. She was happy, not only detered a group of students and made Anna lost face. Anna had never been so embarrassed. Once, Anna was perfect. Everything about her was perfect. All the people around her obeyed her, taking care of her as if protecting a fragile China. Oh, China? Get ready to be broken. Like her aunt said, a perfect person was too fake. The Foster Group was not far from M Univeristy, and was in the CBD business center. For these wealthy families, location was a symbol of status. After the establishment of status, the circle was also important. Angel pulled up her hair, put on a hat, got out of the taxi, and headed toward the Foster Group with her meal box. Ten minutes earlier, Zak had suddenly showed up and stood by the entrance to the lobby, folded his shoulders, looking out motionless. That handsome cold face was expressionless. The receptionists and the security guard on the first floor were good looking. But the patrolling security guards were overshadowed by the level of Zak''s look. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. The receptionists could not help but keep their eyes on him. Zak was Jason''s personal assistant and bodyguard. Generally he went to the top floor by the president''s exclusive elevator from the underground parking lot. It was the first time that he stood on the first floor. Angel walked straight to the lobby, facing the special lift, where if anyone came down he would be sure to see her. For about ten minutes the lift did not move. Angel texted to Jason, ¡°Jason, the meal is cold, when you pick me up? If I go straight to the front desk, will they let me in?¡± Jason hurried down from the elevator. Zak felt surprised when he saw his boss, so he walked to him, ¡°Mr. Jason, she has not here yet.¡± Jason did not speak but looked around the lobby and saw a ¡°youth¡±. Zak was stunned, seeing that ¡°youth¡± came over with her meal box. Zak was surprised. ¡°Jason, how can youe down personally?¡± Angel asked happily. Jason took a look at Zak, ¡°Let''s go.¡± He reached out to take Angel''s meal box. In the elevator, ¡°Miss Angel?¡± Zak was not sure. Angel looked at him. ¡°Hello, did you stand by the door?¡± Zak showed a wry smile, ¡°My boss let me pick you up. But I didn''t recognize you, why --¡± Angel suddenly looked down at herself and said, ¡°I think men''s clothes are convenient. I''m afraid that wearing women''s clothes will have a bad effect on Jason.¡± With that, she smiled at Jason. Jason was confused, ¡°What effect?¡± Angel winked, ¡°Affecting you to find a girlfriend. I am afraid there will be a scandal.¡± Jason frowned, ¡°Nonsense! I don¡¯t have a girlfriend.¡± Angel showed a bright smile. Zak was confused. Jason took a look at Zak and said ¡°This is Zak, you cane to him.¡± Zak straightened his back immediately. ¡°Miss Angel.¡± Angel smiled, ¡°Hello, Zak.¡± She could see that he was Jason''s assistant. They were different from her brother and Alfie. At this time, the lobby was noisy. ¡°What''s the matter? Did Zak get punished? Mr. Jason came down to pick her up in person? Who is that?¡± ¡°It''s a young man. He''s got a hat on. I can''t see his face, but he''ll be very handsome!¡± ¡°Dear me, did we see something we weren''t supposed to?¡± ¡°Really? Is it really our boss --¡± ¡°Oh dear, how sad!¡± ¡°Not only a woman will rob your boyfriend, even the man will get involed.¡± ¡°Why are you whining?¡± ¡°I''ve been using my boss as a reference for my boyfriend!¡± ¡°Good heavens, then you''ll never get married.¡± Chapter 37 Promise Me Chapter 37 Promise Me But Jason and Angel did not take thesements serious. On the top floor, Angel put on her hat and pressed the brim. Jason and Zak looked at each other and saw each other''s doubts from their eyes. Angel was extremely skilled at doing this. When she arrived at Jason''s office, Angel opened the meal box and said, ¡°Oh, I''m starving to death. Please hurry up. My meatballs are going to be soft and not taste good.¡± Jason smiled. Zak went out and closed the door. He badly needed to find a ce to calm himself. Since when had Miss Angel be a guest of honor? Mr. Jason was gentle to Miss Angel. Angelid out the meal and put chopsticks into his hands. ¡°Jason,e and taste my cooking.¡± Two portions of rice, one of fried meatballs, one of beef brisket with potato and tomato, and a vegetatable soup. Angel took two paper cups and poured the soup into them. Jason had a meeting in the moring and and he was hungry. Just as he was about to pick up the meatballs, Angel handed him the cup of soup. ¡°Start with the soup and tell your stomach you''re ready to eat.¡± She tilted her head and smiled at him. Jason was chocked, because Belled used to say that. Angel picked up her cup and took a sip of soup, then picked up the meatballs. Jason drank a mouthful of soup, it was good. As she ate, Angel told Jason what had happened at school in the morning. Jason was listening quietly with a smile on the lips. Angel like this was lovely. Angel did not mention Anna came to her. ¡°Jason, am I good?¡± Shecently said to Jason. Jason gently nodded with a smile. Angel was content. ¡°I think in the future those male students will be crazy after you, and you may not have time to deliver food to me.¡± Jason said with a smile. Angel froze. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Didn''t you let theme to you if they have questions? Of course, they can go to you with a straight face.¡± Jason looked at her. Angel waved her hand. ¡°Oh, it''s okay. Hugo will deal with it! This period of time, the snacks those boys sent were eaten by Hugo, so he would take care of it.¡± Then she exined Professor Jordan''s requirements, ¡°Hugo said that if they meet the requirements, he will ask me out for them. Don''t worry, I''m sure that no one can meet the requirements until the end of the semester. They were all cheated by the old man!¡± Jason looked at Angel gently, listening to the interesting thing between her and Hugo. ¡°By the way, Jason, is the food delicious?¡± Angel asked. Jason took thest mouthful of rice and noded, ¡°Hmm, very delicious.¡± Angelughed her eyes out. ¡°That''s great.¡± Jason said, ¡°How much is it?¡± Angel cocked her head and looked at Jason. The vision of Jason was very gentle. ¡°I''ve decided not to charge. Just promise me one thing.¡± Angel looked at him. Jason was surprised, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you have no money?¡± Angel shook her head. ¡°It doesn''t matter. I will think of other ways to earn money.¡± ¡°Well, what do you want me to promise?¡± Jason looked at her with interest. Angel thought for a while, ¡°Promise me, don''t like Anna, can you?¡± Her face was serious and her voice went cold. Jason was stunned, ¡°Change condition.¡± Angel¡¯s heart was painful. She almost cried and looked at Jason. Jason said, ¡°I won¡¯t like Anna. You don¡¯t have to do that.¡± Angel was touched. Tears fell down, and she took tissue to wipe them, and smiled, ¡°No need not change, that is it.¡± Jason touched Angel''s head and said softly, ¡°Angel, I have never liked Anna.¡± Angel nodded heavily and lowered her eyes. ¡°Ok! I see.¡± Okay, that was enough. Zak knocked at the door toe in. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. ¡°Mr. Jason, the meeting will be held in twenty minutes.¡± Jason nodded. ¡°Shall I send you home?¡± Jason asked Angel. Angel picked up the meal box. ¡°I''ll just take a cab.¡± Jason said, ¡°Or, you wait here I, I will go with you after the meeting.¡± Angel''s eyes lit up. ¡°Ok! Then I will wait for you, I promise not to make any noise!¡± Angel said it almost instinctively. Jason smiled. Zak lowered his head to cover his smile. Angel murmured, ¡°I have always waited for my brother in his office.¡± Jason cleared his throat and nodded. ¡°Well, there is a rest room inside. If you get tired, you can go there and rest. The meeting will take about three hours.¡± Angel nodded and pulled out herptop. ¡°I have homework to do.¡± Jason walked out with Zak. It was obvious that Angel was attached to her brother, and she thought of him as her brother, perhaps unconsciously. She was a lovely girl. No wonder Belle liked her so much. ¡°Mr. Jason.¡± Zak called him. ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°Rumor has it that Kyle and Young Master Duncan are very close and Kyle is very protective of his brother, so I think the Young Master Duncan is Miss Angel, not the real Young Master Duncan.¡± Zak whispered in a voice that only two people could hear. Jason froze. A faint smile showed from her lips. It was possible. Interesting. Zak found his smile and was shocked. He did not expect Miss Angel could make his Bossugh. Miss Angel''s identity was not simple. Zak showed a wry smile. When Jason finished the meeting, it waste afternoon. When he reached the office door, he remembered that there was a girl in the office. Angel hadn''t sent him message all afternoon. Had she gone? He pushed open the office door. The light of the setting sun fell on the sofa. Angel curled up on the sofa and slept soundly. On the coffee table, there was aptop and several pages of penciled manuscripts. Jason picked up the manuscript. It was a sketch of several men''s suits, shirts and essories, which should not have beenpleted. Angel designed clothes? Was it just for fun? This gril had great talent. Learning seemed to be easy to her. Jason put down the manuscript and looked at the sleeping Angel. She curled up in a small ball and slept like a child. It was said that people who sleep in this position did not have a secure childhood, caused by insecurity. With a brother like Kyle, did she still feel insecure? Angel moved the body and fell to the carpet. ¡°Ouch!¡± Angel got up, spellily. Jason could not help butugh and hurried to help her, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Angel''s long hair fell down as waterfall. She rubbed her eyes with one hand and pulled it over her head with the other. ¡°Can we go home now? Jason touched her head, ¡°Yes, I will send you back.¡± Angel gathered her things. ¡°You studied fashion design?¡± Jason asked, holding her manuscript. Angel took the manuscript from his hand and put it in her bag. ¡°No, but I like it. I draw it when I am at leisure.¡± She looked up to see Jason looked at her and said with a smile, ¡°How about I design a few sets of clothes to you, and you can put on to advertise for me. Maybe I''m the fashion designer of tomorrow!¡± She began tough. Jason noded and agreed without hesitation, ¡°Ok, then I''m waiting for your design.¡± Jason had infinite patience when facing Angel. As they were about to walk out, Zak came in, ¡°Mr. Jason, something is wrong.¡± Jason asked in a cold voice, ¡°What''s the matter?¡± Zak took a look at Angel, ¡°Mr. Jacob had a car ident.¡± ¡°Where? Is he all right?¡± Jason elerated his pace. ¡°He should be all right. He called me himself. I think he had had drunk.¡± Zak said. Both men quickened their pace. Angel silently followed them. In the elevator, Jason said. ¡°Angel,e with me to deal with it first.¡± Angel nodded curtly. On the outskirts of the city there was a vast expanse of empty wastnd, owned by an unknown develope, that had never been constructed, but the asphalt road had been paved. Because few people woulde here, so it became a ce to race cars. It was so far from the city that no one wouldin about a roaring engine. They sped along. Zak drove fast but steady. Angel gave up her thought after she nced at Jason¡¯s cold face. Soon the arrived at the scene of the ident. A Lamborghini made a close encounter with a power pole, with devastating consequences. It didn''t look like a bunch of people racing, or else there wouldn''t be just one old car here. Angel could not help but look around the car, which was a global limited edition, and now it turned into scrap iron! There was no one at the wheel. At this time the sky had been dark, and there were no street lights, only Jason¡¯s car lights were on. ¡°Jacob!¡± Jason shouted. ¡°Mr. Jacob!¡± Zak shouted, while making a phone call. Angel jumped up when the phone rang. She didn''t hesitate to kick when she felt a hand grab her ankle. Plump! Something heavy fell into the ditch by the side of the road. ¡°Jacob! ¡°Mr. Jacob!¡± Chapter 38 to Lecture His Younger Brother Chapter 38 to Lecture His Younger Brother Jason and Zak jumped down at the same time. Angel realized she was in trouble again. She quickly helped Jason and Zak fish the person up. The person was put on the ground. Angel could smell the wine. It was dark and she could see his face clearly, but he looked tall. ¡°Jacob, Jacob? Jason patted his face and gently called him. Zak checked again, ¡°No bleeding, no trauma. I don''t know if he¡¯s broken or not. The wine bottle is on the side of the road. It doesn''t look like a drunk driver, it looks like he drank after the crash.¡± He stretched hand and felt his carotid artery, nodded to Jason. They helped the man to his feet and shoved him into the back seat. ¡°Zak, you stay and take care of the car while we go to the hospital.¡± Jason said. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. ¡°Ok!¡± Zak answered. Without being told to, Angel jumped into the car and fastened her seat belt. When Jason started the car, Angel nced at the back seat. ¡°Who is he?¡± ¡°My younger brother.¡± Jason''s voice was t. Angel was surprised. Belle had never met Jason''s brother. Angel heard from her aunt that Jason¡¯s younger brother was raised in foreign countries since childhood. ¡°He is Jacob, two years old younger than you. He is in poor physical condition and had been raied in the foreign country. My parents are pampered to him, so, he was capricious.¡± Jason said. Why did he race car in the wilderness after drinking? From the way the car crashed, the speed was fast. He was killing himself. Jason was not in a good mood. She sighed, ¡°Is it difficult to be an elder brother? You either have a brother or a sister who always makes trouble.¡± Jason took a look at her. She tried tofort him. And he became less angry ¡°Do you make your brother angry too?¡± He asked. Angel nodded and sighed, ¡°Well, to be honest, my brother doesn''t talk to me yet. I leave him messages every morning and night before I go to bed. I act in a coqueting way and do everything I can, but he still ignores me. This was her biggest worry now. Jason raised his eyebrowd, ¡°What did you do?¡± ¡°Jason, if you get angry with your brother, will you just ignore him?¡± Angel dodged his question. Jason answered, ¡°I will beat him first.¡± He regretted every time he beat up his brother. ¡°If I am not a girl, my brother also sure beat me. Once, I made my brother angry, he did not want to beat me, but hit on the sandbag with a fist. The sandbag was leaking, which scared me to death.¡± Angel pped her hands over his chest. ¡°What did you do?¡± Jason was curious. ¡°Hey hey, past events, don''t mention it.¡± Angel bit her lip. ¡°I have no parents, I only have my brother. My brother always wants to protect me. As Alfie said, my brother regards me more important than his own life. It is because he loves me too much that he gets angry and wants to beat me! Jason, are you the same? In fact, every time I made my brother anger, I regreted, so every time I said sorry and promised to be good, for a period of time, at least.¡± The voice of Angel was getting smaller and smaller, she stealthily looked at Jason. ¡°Actually, I did the same thing, but it wasn''t a Lamborghini, but a Porsche.¡± Angel said. Jason stopped the car and took a cold look at Angel, ¡°When he wakes up, you two can make friends and exchange the experience of making brother angry.¡± Angel smiled, ¡°Jason, you look just as angry as like my brother when you are angry. Even my aunt said you are the same style. When my brotheres back, I introduce you to him. You will have a lot in Angel pulled the sleeve of Jason. Jason shaked it off. Angel pouted. ¡°Did you get hurt?¡± Jason suddenly asked. ¡°What?¡± Angel nced at the man in the back seat. ¡°I mean you, you hit the Porsche.¡± Jason said coldly. ¡°I broke my left arm, but it''s nothing serious. I think your brother should be all right.¡± At least his right hand was fine. He had grabbed her ankle with it. Jason snorted, ¡°If I am your brother, I will never let you touch a car!¡± Angel looked at him with round eyes and fell silent. Jason took a look at her, ¡°What?¡± ¡°That''s what my brother did. Do brothers all have the same idea?¡± Angel recoiled. ¡°Jason, you''re terrible. You''re just as terrible as my brother. I''ll think about staying away from you.¡± Angel shook her head and sighed. ¡°You should protect yourself!¡± Jason said a low voice. When they arrived at the hospital, Jason felt he was less angry. Jacob Foster was pushed into the emergency room, the Foster family soon had someone to take care of him. His parents did not show up, maybe he did not want them to be worried. Jason sent Angel back home. The next morning, Angel had no ss. She cooked lunch and porridge, packed it in a meal box, and went to the hospital first. Mr. Jacob lived in a private VIP room, in addition to him, there was no one else. Angel pushed the door open and went in. Mr. Jacob leaned on the head of a bed with a mobile phone, ying games. There was bandage on his left arm. Hearing the voice, he did not raise his head, ¡°I want to eat braised pork ribs.¡± His voice was nasal, but rather maic, and he was giving orders to the servants at home. ¡°You look like ribs to me. Shall I braise you in soy sauce for you? I''m also good at stewing.¡± Angel ced the meal box on the nightstand and pulled up a chair to sit on the edge of the bed. Jacob put down the phone and looked at her in surprise. Angel also looked at him. Last night it was dark, she was coaxing Jason and did not pay attention to him. Now she found that he looked like Jason.. But their temperaments were quite different. Jason was cold and mature, probably because he was the eldest son. Her aunt said he was a decisive man. While Jacob was soft and even gloomy. His hair was long and thick and curly. He looked like a boy studying art. Today, Angel was in a ck biker suit, a pair of Martin boots and had a ponytail. Jacob blew a whistle, ¡°Hello, beauty!¡± Angel red at him, crossed her legs, and pointed to the meal box. ¡°Have the porridge, boy. You''re a long way from ribs.¡± ¡°Who do you call a boy?¡± Jacob frowned and red at her. ¡°You, you are younger than me!¡± Angel red back at him. ¡°How do you know I''m not older than you?¡± Jacob said. Angel looked at him and pursed her lips. ¡°Didn''t you hear it allst night? Your elder brother said, I am two years older than you. Call me sister! Remember? Boy!¡± Jason stared at her, ¡°You little gril, don''t recognize me as brother.¡± Angel looked at him with a half-smile. When they brought him to the hospitalst night, Angel had held his head. When she touched his face, she felt it wet and thought it was blood, but it was not. She quietly looked at the person lying on the t gurney and found his eyes moving. She knew he did not faint, or even drunk, so he should have heard her dialogue between her and Jason. From his attitude towards her, she knew Jason was important to him. Jacob avoided her eyes. ¡°I guess, you can''t drive any longer. I made a mistable too. Your brother is in the same type with my brother, I advise you as an experienced person apology to your brother. No matter how angry he is, you should take it. Having someone to love you is a blessing, and you should cherish!¡± She said earnestly. Jacob stared at her, ¡°Who are you? My brother''s girlfriend? You are so wordy, like an old woman! My brother will not like you!¡± Angel jumped over and patted him on the head, ¡°Who''s old? Boy!¡± Jacob was stunned and said angrily, ¡°Why do you hit my head?!¡± ¡°You haven''t hurt your head. You said I am old. Shouldn''t I hit you?¡± Angel said. She nced at his cast arm. ¡°I''d have hit you if you weren''t hurt!¡± Jacob sneered and looked at her up and down, ¡°You are overestimating yourself! No wonder your brother wants to beat you. If you were a man, hum! I''ll beat you right now!¡± Angel was not angry. ¡°Well! You overheard me talking to your brother.¡± Jacob froze. Angel said akimbo, ¡°Thank me, I begged your brother for your mercy. Apologize to your brother and Promise not to do it again!¡± ¡°I can''t promise that.¡± Jacob blurted out. Angel gritted her teeth. ¡°What''s in your head? You apologize first even if you want to do it again. If you do not apologize this time, how can you have a chance to make mistakes next time?¡± Jacob looked at her in shock. Angel suddenly covered her mouth, regretted. Jacob look at the door and changed his face. Chapter 39 Everything Goes Well Chapter 39 Everything Goes Well Angel turned her head, frozen. Jason was cold that he could simply freeze someone to death! ¡°Jason? Don¡¯t you have a meeting this morning? Why are you here now?¡± Tongue-tied, Angel''s mind was racing. She was so screwed. He had heard it all! Jason took a look at her and went to Jacob¡¯s bedside. Jacob now shrank inside. ¡°Brother.¡± His voice trailed off and his head dropped. ¡°Jacob, Dare you have drunk driving? Believe it or not, I will now call the police and put you in prison for half a year?¡± The voice of Jason was cold extremely. Angel could not help stroking the frozen goose bumps on her arms. But she felt pleased in the hearte. She was familiar with such scene! ¡°I... I wasn''t drunk drinking. I drank after the crash.¡± Jacob whispered exnation. ¡°Oh? Why didn¡¯t you contact me when you had the crash but drank? Are you out of your mind!¡± Jason roared. Jacob instinctly raised his arm to cover his face, ¡°Brother, I am sorry, I won''t do it again.¡± ¡°Apologize first, and you will do it again?¡± Jason said that and nced at Angel. ¡°No!¡± ¡°No!¡± Jacob and Angel replied in unison. The Foster brothers looked unison at Angel. Angel was embarrassed, ¡°I, I just, I just get used to it.¡± Jason was speechless. Jacobughed out loud. Jason gave a nce at Jacob, and Jacob stoppeduging instantly. How did Kyle educate her sister? It didn''t necessarily correct her behavior, but it trained her to apologize and make promises as a reflex. Zak lightly coughed and said, ¡°Mr. Jason, we should go back.¡± Jason mercely stared at Jacob, pointing at him, ¡°Stay in the hospital, I won¡¯t let you go if you make troubles again!¡± As he walked out, he red over his shoulder at Angel, who stood aside. ¡°Where''s my lunch?¡± ¡°Oh, yes, yes.¡± Angel''s smile was iparable ttery. She took the meal box and followed Jason. And then she pointed to the other meal box and whispered to Jacob, ¡°Boy, the porridge is for you, remember, you owe me favor!¡± After, she hastened to leave. Jacob lowered his voice, gnashing his teeth way, ¡°I am not!¡± Zak was driving. Angel holding the meal box sat next to Jason, who was reading the document. His face was gloomy. Angel took a nce at him now and then. ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Jason said without raising his eyes. Angel looked at Jason. ¡°Are you asking me?¡± Jason did not speak, nor looked at her. ¡°Are you angry with me?¡± Asked Angel, cocking her head. Jason seemed to be trying to calm his anger. He looked up at Angel. ¡°I don''t know why I should be angry about.¡± Angel smiled, ¡°So you are not angry? I just gave him some advice so that he can admit his mistakes and not make you angry.¡± Jason was sympathy to Kyle. It would be difficult to have such a sister. After the lunck, Angel took a taxi to Hart Lane. Aaron and Heidi''s work was going well. They had already finished their first samples of ready-made clothes. When Angel entered, the first-floor showroom was in a state of jubtion. Angel¡¯s eyes lit up. Her ¡°Four Seasons¡± was finally finished. ¡°Angel! There you are!¡± As soon as Heidi saw her, she ran over excitedly and took her to see her clothes. ¡°Look, all clothes are ready. We use this season''s fabric to show the four seasons, and then for each season, we change the fabric without changing the theme, how about that?¡± Angel nodded. ¡°Yes, yes! Good job!¡± Aaron came down from upstairs and saw this scene. He gave a clear cough. Angel saw a woman behind Aaron. She was in a light gray suit, white chiffon shirt inside with short curly hair, which made her delicate face fashionable. ¡°Angel, this is Renee Brooks, our sales director. Renee, this is Joe.¡± Aaron introduced them. Both of them were stunned. ¡°Hello, Renee, nice to meet you!¡± Angel smiled and held out her hand. Renee also held out her hand and said in surprise, ¡°I didn''t expect Joe to be such a beautiful little girl.¡± She looked sideways at Aaron. Aaron smiled. ¡°She''s not a little girl now. She is twenty-three.¡± Angel red at him. ¡°Why is that numbering out of your mouth making me old?¡± ¡°Only twenty-three?¡± Renee was surprised. She asked, ¡°Are you really twenty-three? You don''t look even twenty to me.¡± ¡°Renee, you are sweet, much better than someone. He''s just a spoilsport!¡± Angel nced at Aaron and suddenly became closer to Renee. Aaron smiled helplessly. ¡°She just looks small.¡± Angel reached out and pushed Aaron. ¡°I hate you!¡± She pulled Renee''s hand, ¡°Let''s talk business.¡± Standing in front of the gorgeous clothes, the four of them were silent for a moment. Even though they had already seen them, they were still amazed. ¡°Renee, what is your sales n? Can you talk about it?¡± Asked Angel. Renee and Aaron looked at each other, ¡°I just had a discussion with Mr. Parker. This first batch of finished products was to be gift.¡± Renee''s voice was calm. ¡°Why?¡± Heidi jumped up. Everyone was startled by her. Angel looked at Renee, waiting for her to continue. Renee spoke at a moderate speed, which was pleasant to hear. ¡°In M City, one of the best fashion brands in the world is Yydream, which is part of the the Newman Group. It is a full line brand, with clothing in every level. The high-end has Anna as its endorsement. She was a daughter of a wealthy family and it is not difficult to open this market.¡± Renee said. ¡°It is headed by David. He tends to be in the Chinese style, so its overall style is partial to the Chinese style, but their products in every season is irrelevant with the Chinese style. The sales team is led by Anna. Each season there will be a luxury show, with the media to build momentum. They spend a lot in endorsements, advertising and media every year. I have done research, I feel like Yydream is just lively on the surface. Angel listened carefully, and pondered. Renee''s vision fell on the clothes in front of her and continued, ¡°I want to abandon the middle and low end, and only keep the high-end market.¡± Heidi was surprised, ¡°Isn''t it a niche?¡± Renee nodded, ¡°For us, the most important thing at this stage is to create our own brand. If we start from the middle and low end of the market, then there is no chance to enter the high-end market, and now the middle and low end of the market has been upied by Anna, so if we invest in the market, it is usless. We have to go high end market first, and we have to use hunger marketing, take Joe''s name tounch our brand.¡± Angel smiled. She understood what Renee meant. ¡°So, you want to give this first batch of clothes to the brand, so as to promote our brand?¡± Renee nodded. Angel approved, ¡°Nice idea!¡± ¡°We will select some candidates,¡± Renee said, ¡°Next month, it will be Mr. yton¡¯s birthday party. It will Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. be the best opportunity for us to present our brand. I want to give away all of our current 20 signature outfits.¡± Angel smiled. Aaron and Heidi looked at each other. Angel said to Renee, ¡°Renee, can I keep two sets? I can assure you that the person I give will meet your requirements.¡± Renee nodded. ¡°I heard that you came back from abroad, but I didn''t expect you to have local acquaintances.¡± Qin said to herself, ¡°I''ll find a way to get the ivitatation of Mr. yton''s birthday party.¡± Angel said, ¡°Renee, go ahead and decide on the candidate list. I will deal with the ivitation. But the Duncan family should not be in the candidate list. Renee was hesitated. Alexia was one of her target customers. But since Angel had that requirement, she would give up. After all there were only a few clothes but so many people to choose from. Angel took a stack of manuscripts out of her backpack andid them on the table. ¡°I''ve been designing some men''s clothing these days, so you can see if it''s worth.¡± Three people looked at the manuscript in surprise. ¡°In the menswear market, we can operate in the same way,¡± said Renee. ¡°It will be easier topete than in the womenswear market.¡± Angel said, ¡°Well, I''ll just design it and you run it. Aaron has a better sense of fashion than I do. He can model it. I will make the initial manuscript and the rest is on Aaron and Heidi. Heidi nodded confidently. Aaron smiled. ¡°Why have youe up with the idea of men¡¯s clothing?¡± Angel''s mind shed Jason''s figure, she smiled, ¡°I have the inspiration all of a sudden, after all, there are many rich men. Aaron, can you get these men''s suits done first?¡± She wanted to get the clothes before her Grandpa''s birthday party. She had enough people to give to. Aaron looked at the manuscript without looking up. ¡°No problem. I''ll have it ready tonight, and we can start.¡± Renee looked at three people with excitment. Paradise Studio was a piece of cake for her. The reason she took over it was to return the favor to her boss. But she did not expect that these three young people would be so capable. This seemed to be a worthy cause for her! Angel was also in a great mood. Everything went well! All that was left now was to soothe her brother. But she was not worried, because next month her brother would be back for her grandpa''s birthday party. As long as she behaved well in this month, her brother''s anger would disappear naturally. If he still was angry, she would be rude to him. How could it not end? He must be grateful! Chapter 40 Brand Endorsement Chapter 40 Brand Endorsement Just as Jason had predicted, Professor Jordon''s office became crowded. Those male students came to the office in droves with the excuse of research and design direction to find Miss Angel. Miss Angel did what she said, discussed with them, consulted information, and was patient and meticulous. She was good at theoretical knowledge and painting skill. In the beginning, it was always boys. Girls and girls had always been natural enemies. However, as those boys wer more and more ¡°obsessed¡± with learning and their homework became more and more excellent, the girls began to find her. Angel was not a melodramatic person. She didn''t discriminate between boys and girls, and she was more partial to girls. Therefore, many girls became her loyal fans. Hugo only onlookered on them and helped when he needed to. Most of the time he let Angel do all the work, so his life was very leisurely. He liked lively and enthusiastic students, and he thought this was the only way to perfect his teaching career. Once again, he was impressed by what a brilliant decision he had made in bringing in Angel. All he had to do was see that Angel didn''t get stolen by a boy. If Angel had been taken away, Kyle would have torn down his little building. Since thest giarism incident, Aydin and Harvey became differment and admired Angel. They had never been humiliated to be named and exposed. After ss, they wanted to find the man who cheated them to vent their anger, but Angel overheard that. Angel, clutching a pile of books, asked them, ¡°Why could he lie to you? That''s because you guys are stupid and rich! Don¡¯t you feel ashamed? Can you give me a new look at you instead of make me categorizing you as spoilt idiots?¡± These two rich boys were simple, not stupid. These people had amon feature: they had been used to listening to good words since childhood. asionally someone went against them, they felt that it was fresh and pleasant to listen to. Thus, they had been determined to be good. Now they studied hard, which surprised the people around them, and the little boys who followed them naturally followed their movements. All of a sudden, the ethos of the design school seemed to be right. Anna¡¯s giarism finally got the understanding of Professor Jordan. After all, Belle was Professor Jordan''s heart headache, and Anna¡¯s reason made Hugo once again miss her. Since people around Anna spread out such a sad story, Anna¡¯s image did not suffer any loss, but let her more pitiful. But gradually, the design school has shifted to focus on the small design building, and even the topic of discussion had been a variety of alternate themes. Those who surround her in daily life were all hoping that their design talents could be recognized by her, and they could work in The Newman Group in the future. However, they had begun to pull away from her in recent days. This let Anna gradually felt uneasy. She wanted to be surrounded, no matter where. She was still surrounded by die-hard fans, but that was not enough. Atst, at her cue, her foolish followers found out the truth. The truth was that they were all around Angel now. Boys and girls were all surround Angel. Anna and William had a rtionship, but, Anna still liked to be surrounded by boys. Anna liked those boys looking at her, which made her very satisfied. However, since Angel showed up, a lot of things had changed in a subtle, which made her flutter. Angel was hostile to her. She had never met anyone who treated her so coldly, and no matter how how hard she tried to please Angel, Angel did not buy it. What was the reason? She was just an idiot. Even if she was with Belle, Anna had never offened her, so there should be no hatred between them. She was a Duncan, so she would not do anything bad to Angel, for that Angel was repelled her? Anna was puzzled. But she could not avoid Angel. So, by hook or by crook, she was going to break the ice and be good friends with Angel. Anna carefully thought about every conversation between her and Angel and found that Angel was not willing to mention Belle. Was it because, mentioning Belle was equal to uncovering her scar? After all, Angel was an idiot when she was with Belle. She must not want to mention it now. Anna suddenly enlightened. She did it wrong. That was a big mistake. As for Professor Jordan and Jason, she could use Belle''s story to attract their attention, to get their sympathy. But Angel was different! How stupid she was. Thinking of this, Anna suddenly got into a good mood. She would get close to Angel with a brand-new identity. She had many stylists at her hand, so she did not need Belle¡¯s work. Even though it would be not extraordinary, it was still good. So, Anna also joined the discussion army, and soon she became a leader, who surrounded Miss Angel and Professor Jordan. Angel silently watched the changes of Anna, but she was calm in heart. Sure she was Anna. Mr. yton''s birthday wasing. The Duncan family was busy getting it ready. Alexia told Angel when she was back from business trip, they had to move back to the Duncan¡¯s in advance. Angel had no problem with that. After dinner, Angel knocked on Alexia''s door with two big boxes in her arms. Alexia looked at her in surprise, ¡°What is this?¡± Angel grinned and asked, ¡°Aunt, could you do me a favor?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexia said without hesitation. Angel opened the upper box. Inside was an evening dress, glowing with light gold in the light. Alexia was stunned, this color was beautiful. She couldn''t help but touch it. The texture was very good. ¡°This is --¡± She looked at Angel. Angel reached for the dress, shook it, and smiled. ¡°Try it on, Aunt.¡± Alexia pointed to herself, ¡°Me?¡± Angel nodded, ¡°Yes, Aunt, I designed this dress myself. I want you to wear it at Grandpa''s birthday party. Will you be my endorsement?¡± Alexia looked at the clothes and froze, ¡°Really? Angel, is this one of your designs? When did you design it? Why didn''t I know? It is beautiful.¡± Alexia was so shocked. Angel pushed Alexia to the dressing room, ¡°Aunt, try it on first, see if it fits, if not, I''ll change it for you.¡± Alexia gently stroked the clothes on her body, and walked out slowly. ¡°Wow, aunt, how beautiful you are!¡± Angel eximed, took Alexia''s arm with a smile and pulled her to the mirror. On the wide belt around the waist there were some faint patterns of ancient words, which seemed to be gone when you looked at it closely, but only the pattern of the material itself. Alexia raised the skirt, and found that the skirt embroidered with the same folded branch pattern. When the skirt was fluttering, it was like an indescribable spring. ¡°Angel, this dress is beautiful.¡± Alexia sincerely eximed. Angel stepped back and looked at Alexia. ¡°Wow, aunt, you are beautiful!¡± Although Alexia had been nearly forty years, but well maintained. And experience was in her temperament. Alexia was admiring the details on the dress, ¡°Angel, these flowers should be hand embroidered, right?¡± She fingered the pattern of her skirt. ¡°Well, I painted it and embroidered a small part, most of them werepleted by Heidi. Her embroidery work is good, I can not match.¡± Angel helped Alexia with her clothes. ¡°Aunt, if the waist is slimer, it will show your figure. I help you change.¡± Angel''s hands were at the waist This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. of Alexia. ¡°No, I think it''s just right. Don''t make it so tight. I am no longer a little girl, and I don¡¯t like to suffer for the sake of beauty.¡± Alexia said with a smile. ¡°The little girls don¡¯t like to suffer for the sake of beauty too. You are a little girl, but you are charming than little girls! Well, it doesn''t matter if it is not to be changed though, and I don''t like it too tight.¡± Angel said. Alexia patted her head, ¡°Do you have honey? Why do you always say sweet words?¡± She turned from side to side, looking at the flowers on her skirts, ¡°Angel, I never thought I would ever wear one of your designs. I am so happy now.¡± Angel rolled her eyes. ¡°Aunt,¡± she said, ¡°Will you keep wearing my clothes? Our brand is about to start building momentum, and with an endorsement like you, we can take off.¡± ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t need endorsement fee.¡± Alexia pulled her niece''s pigtail. Angel stuck out her tongue. ¡°We have no money. We''re poor now.¡± Chapter 41 Brand Endorsement 2 Chapter 41 Brand Endorsement 2 Alexia said, "Do you need money? How much do you want?" Angel waved her hand. "No, no, Auntie. We''re working with apany now,unching our own brand. It has been started and we have to save everything." Alexia was not at ease, "Is thatpany reliable? Do you want me to have someone assess it for you?" Angel put the matter of "Paradise Studio" simply to Alexia. Alexia said, "I will help you find some famousdies to do brand promotion." Angel smiled, "Auntie, let us do it first. If it really does not work, you help us. You are my treasure, I can¡¯t show you easily." Alexia said earnestly, "Angel, if you need help, let me know." Angel said, "Sure, I promise! With you on my back, I have confidence." She opened another box with a smile and took out a red dress, "Auntie , how do you like this one?" She went to Alexia''s dressing room to change her clothes. This was a dress as red as the scorching sun and fire. The skirt hem was like summer flowers in full bloom. Layer byyer, it stretched out an fell down. This was one of the theme of the four seasons - "summer". Angel pulled her hair back with her hand and grabbed an eyebrow pencil from her Auntie''s dressing table to get it stuck. Alexia froze and then got tears in her eyes. Angel was stunned. "What''s the matter with you, Auntie?" Alexia wiped away her tears, "I am happy, I am happy, Angel." Angel handed over the paper towel to her and held Alexia who was surprised. Alexia held her in his arms. "Angel, I am so happy! It''s a pity your mother won''t be able to see it and see you have grown up. You are so beautiful and so capable. How happy she would be if she were alive!" Angel slowly held Alexia. "Auntie, my mother is watching from the sky. She knows everything and she must be happy Auntie, I will live a good life and work hard, so that you and mother will be always happy!" She patted Alexia on the back. Alexia let go of her and smiled with tears, "Good! You are great! You are the best!" Angel smiled and wiped her tears with a tissue. "Auntie, I came to try on a dress with you, but I made you cry. I still have a lot of bad ideas to share with you." Alexia looked at her and pinched her face with a smile, "You little monkey, what idea do you have?" Angel tilted her head and said, "I''ve told the sales department that the girls in the Duncan family can¡¯t have any of our dresses. They won''t be able to wear the same dresses as us. They''ll have to pay us pretty good money to wear them!" Angel cocked her chin proudly. Alexia nodded with a smile, "Good! No discount for them!" Angel nodded heavily. ¡®Why forgive those who mistreated you?¡¯ Forgiveness was for those who deserve it. Never waste emotion on those who don''t. Alexia took Angel back to Duncan''s house and lived in it. Frank held indifferent attitude towards his daughter. He was annoyed with Angel winning yton''s heart, but he dared not speak of it. Her face made him want to run away all the time, so that he almost kept her at arm''s length. Maisy was busy with her and Daisy¡¯s dress, as well as things rted to Leo. Daisy wanted to know what brand of dress Angel would be wearing that day. Maisy said casually, "Your Auntie like the most is the French brand DRA, she and Angel sure will wear that brand. Your Auntie certainly will choose blue or red, and Angel consistently chooses white. Your Auntie and her dead mother always dress like her like this to make her a fairy. We can just avoid that color." That made sense to Daisy. "Well, I''m going to wear pink, and I''m going to buy a new one! Thest dress was ruined by that little bitch, and you stopped me from settling with her! She should have paid me one! She''s got so much money, why don''t we let her pay for it?" Said Daisy angrily. Maisy frowned, "I have told you many times that we can''t do anything right now, until your brother is settled. We have time, don¡¯t worry. A little neglect may breed great mischief. Can''t you use your brain? Your intelligence quotient was almost at the level of a fool!" Daisy was frightened by this sudden anger, stunned for a moment, then carefully asked, "Mom, do we have to be so careful? My brother is the second young master of the Duncan family, and, Phoebe said she liked him. So what are we afraid of?" Maisy felt that her temper was hot, so she said in a soft tone, "It is put forward by Kyle. He is insidious and this time he is so kind to share this good thing with us, I feel not at ease, so, we must be careful. Only when this thing is settled, I can rest assured." Daisy thought for a while, "Kyle must think of the Duncan family in the end. If my brother and Phoebe were married, it will be good for the family. He must think it in this way. Aren''t you overthinking, Mom?" Maisy stared at his daughter, "He and that fool --" Maisy paused and couldn''t help looking around. Daisy was impatient, "Well, Mom --, you are in your own home now, why do you act like a thief? Angel is a fool." Maisy red at his daughter again, but did not object, "They have so much inheritance. Kyle gave what under his name to Angel, but have you ever think that you are also his sister? You are single minded, I am afraid you will get framed by him!" "Then, is he trying to make it up to us by making my brother to be with Daisy?" Daisy thought about it. Maisy was stunned and she said with many years of experience, "Don''t dream about it! It''s better to be careful than not, Daisy. We have to be on the lookout all the time. You''re all Ducans, so every penny of Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. the family is rted to you, and you must have every penny you can get. You must take the initiative. You can''t just sit there and wait for pie to fall from the sky like the two children of your third uncle''s family. There is no such thing as a free lunch.!" Maisy lectured her daughter. Daisy listened carefully, which made Maisy have a better mood. "You''ve got to keep your eyes open now, Daisy. If you find someone you like, try to get your father to show up, your grandfather to back you up. Find someone in equal rank, that''s the lowest standard! If you can someone who is good for the family, everyone will suck up to you. Look at your Auntie, she has more say than your father in the family! So, you have to please your grandpa, understand? You can''t let that fool take advantage of all!" Daisy''s eyes became bright and she said, "Mom, tell me which one is more suitable for me in the future?" Maisy said after thinking, "There are only a few families matching the Duncan family. There is no son in the Newman family and his family¡¯s branches were not good. The Foster family has many sons, but their family is too chaotic. William has been married with the Newman family, the other several is at your age, well, I think Hall family is good." Maisy thought these candidates in the brain. "Mom, I like Jason Foster!" Daisy''s voice trembled as she spoke of his name. "Jason Foster?" Maisy frowned. ¡°No, he''s not good for you!¡± She spoke with certainty. ¡°Why?" Cried Daisy. "What''s wrong? Didn''t you just say that I should find someone in equal rank and is good for the family? The foster family is now in the heyday, if I can be with Jason, grandfather must be happy!" Maisy''s attitude was firm, "No, I have seen him several times, he is handsome. But the Foster family is dangerous. Jason now is in charge of the family, so his mind and means than is not worse than Kyle. How can he marry you? If he wants to marry with our family, he will marry Angel, so as to match his status. And he is cold and unfeeling as Kyle. You will never be happy with him. His family is so ¡°It is not the truth!¡± said Daisy. Maisy ignored her and continued, "If you choose the Foster family, you can choose Jacob Foster, I heard that he has his parents and brother''s favor. Then we can haver rtionship with the family and get substantial benefits. What is more, we won¡¯t have direct conflict with other family members. You better choose Jacob Foster!" "No, I don''t know who Jacob Foster is, I just like Jason!" Daisy was angry. Maisy took a look at her daughter, "When did you have a fancy on Jason?" Before Daisy answered, Maisy continue, "Even if you like him, he should like you. If he likes you, sure I am d, so is your grandfather. In that way, you have the say in the family, but woman should be down to the earth.!" Daisy smiled. "Mom, how can I know until I try? I''m the youngdy of the Duncan. I am pretty and have good shape. I have knowledge and the ability. I am not bad. If I have a chance like Auntie, I can have the destiny as her. Mom, you should help me, brother is sister-inw¡¯s, but I am always your daughter!" Daisy blinked at her mother. Maisy did not speak, looking at her daughter. Daisy made sense.. It was not easy for her to have her children, and if it were them, her way into the family would not have been so smooth. Now the two children were her security for the rest of her life. Leo was a son and now he was justifiably listed in the family tree. She could contend for Isabelle''s legacy, but for the property of the family, what Kyle had, Leo should have the same. None of them could be less than his. She had really neglected her daughter. Chapter 42 For Ones own Good Chapter 42 For One''s own Good If Daisy married a man like Jason, her and her mother¡¯s status would be higher. After more than twenty years of marriage with Frank, she was nothing more than superficial good. To the outside world, she was Mrs. Duncan, but in Duncan family, even if Isabelle was dead, she had been suppressing her. She had not been taken as the eldest sister-inw or daughter-inw. Behind the scene, her sisters-inw never took her seriously, waiting for an opportunity to squeeze her out, always looking forward seeing she made a food of herself. She had expected Leo to make her proud. And now, she found she had Daisy! She was in good mood! It was yton¡¯s seventieth birthday, so it was more ceremonious. Not only the Duncan Vi had action, those branches of Duncan family, rtives and the business circle of M City were all waiting for such an important day. The Duncan Vi got busy half a month ahead. The public rtions department of Duncan Group, ording to Alexia''s instructions, got into the This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Duncan Vi and worked together with the housekeepers to get the party ready. Every night, Angel stayed with Alexia, heard the reports of subordinates and did the deployment of each work. No one cared about Angel going out early anding homete. No one asked what Angel did every day. No one knew Angel was at work. In the eyes of the Duncan family, she was still the same fool she was years ago. She was simply taken under the wing of Alexia. This birthday banquet, for everyone, was a rare performance opportunity. And they had their own goals. So, everyone in the Duncan family was very busy. And they paid no attention to nothing but the party. Only two days was from the birthday. The most important person in the Duncan family - Kyle - had not That made some people nervous. Maisy muttered to Frank, "Didn''t Kyle tell you when he would be back? Outwardly, he''s a Duncan, but internally, he''s your son after all. These years, he''s never been with us on the birthday celebrations. With all families there, it did not matter. But there will be many outsiders, he should respect you.¡± Frank frowned and said nothing. Maisy looked at him, not going to let go. Frank said, "I heard from Taylor that he promised father he woulde back. The exact time hasn''t been decided yet. He will do what he promises." Maisy was discontent, so he did not know about it. "Well, what shall we do then? We have to stay together, don''t we? Otherwise, it will be embarrassing." Only when Kyle stood in their ranks could she and Leo and Daisy¡¯s position be recognized. These years, Maisy was very persistent to this matter. Isabelle agreed her to marry into the family. She did not care about her title, as long as the Duncan family admitted her two children. But she did not expect that since they moved into the family, Isabelle moved away from the house and did not see anyone of the family till she was dead. Then the rtionship between the Duncan family and the Marsh family fell to the freezing point, and the loss of the Duncan family was difficult to estimate. From that year on, Frank was never promoted at the family. They became chief culprit, the death of Isabelle became their sin, making them be looked down upon. She hated that woman. She wished to set off firecrackers to celebrate her death. But even if she died, her son continued to oppress her. Every year on yton''s birthday, he took his sister and never knelt down with them. And then he was alone, and he never let his sistere back. He never thought of them as a family. He never acknowledged her as a stepmother. Perhaps no one cared about this matter. After all, twenty years had passed. She was Mrs. Duncan both externally and internally. But it was her worry. Frank frowned. "Oh,e on, why are you so stupid for such a small thing? The host is arranged by Alexia. You will not be embarrassed, after all it is such a big scene." Frank did not ask his son''s itinerary. Since Isabelle''s death, no, since Maisy and her children were exposed, for more than twenty years, the number of their talking was countable. Maisy secretly gnashed teeth, but she was helpless. She could not understand why Frank was so afraid of his own son! It was reasonable he was afraid of yton because he was his father, but he was afraid of his own son! She had never seen a father as cowardly as he was, but he gave Leo beating and scolding. Daisy burst in and shouted, "Mom, lend me your diamond ne, I don''t match any of mine!" Maisy took a look at Frank and swallowed the words she was to say. Then she helped Daisy find jewelry. "Dad, I have a fancy on a bracelet, can you buy it to me?" Daisy saw Frank and acted in coquetry. Frank was happy to be interrupted, so he said, "Go ahead and get my secretary to sign the bill." "Thank you, Dad!" she said, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. ¡°I love you, Dad!" A smile appeared on Frank''s face. The birthday party was held in the evening. The Duncan Vi was decorated with lights. The road to The Duncan Vi was carried out traffic control by the traffic police, because too many cars headed to the Duncan Vi. The police had been informed to strengthening police force in Dongcheng District. District, after all, was the most important area tonight. To put it in a bad way, if a bomb was ced in the Duncan Vi, the economy of M City would be paralyzed tomorrow, and even to the whole country and even overseas, it would bring shock. Therefore, the Duncan family had reported to the government department in advance. The garden inside the vi was the main venue of the banquet, which was decorated magnificently, highlighting the noble identity of the host family. yton, apanied by his two brothers, sat chatting in a pavilion in the middle of the garden. The weather was beautiful and the weather was fine, which was pleasant. Dressed in a white Tang suit today, yton was hale and hearty with a big smile. His four sons sat with him too. "Why hasn''t Kylee by this time?" Dougie asked, peering into the face of yton. yton did not show any displeasure at the news. He nced at his watch and said nothing. Dougie then looked at him housekeeper Taylor behind him. Taylor showed a slight smile, "These days Mr. Kyle was dealing with a very important merger and acquisition. He said that no matter howte it was he woulde back and asked Mr. yton to rest assured." Hector said, "Kyle is filial. With Kyle, our family is blessed." yton loved to hear that. The three brothers were infighting for half a lifetime, now these years, the situation was stable on the whole. Kyle contributed to that a lot. No one in the Duncan family was able topete with Kyle. It was the pride of yton, and even if he died now, he did not have to worry about who would led the family. However even if Kyle was capable, he could not be controlled, which was also his worry. Dougie asked along the topic, "Where did Kyle take this time? He''s beenying siege to cities all these years, and he''s made our family do well abroad." yton said with a smile, "Kyle said, he will establish our family¡¯s empire in J Country, where all people will surrender to us. When the acquisition is done, we will be solid in J Country. In that way, if all our domestic industries were over, it doesn''t matter, because our energy in J Country now is three times as much at home." yton and Dougie could not help but open mouth but could not say a word. Hector changed the subject. "I saw Angel on my way in. She looked just like her mother. I''m sure there''s no better girl than her in this town. Brother. I''m sure there''ll be a lot of peopleing up to you soon to ask you about Angel." Dougie smiled. To him, granddaughter was used for marriage. Angel was beautiful but simple, no one would dislike her, on the contrary, she might be more attractive. Suddenly he had a thought. When he looked up at yton, he found that his brother''s face was grave. "It''s up to none of us to decide what to do with Angel," said yton slowly. "We need to have advice from Kyle. You know how he feels about his sister. He is out there trying to keep the Duncan family on fire. We can''t have a fire in the family." He gave Frank a faint nce. "Angel is a good girl, and her mother has left her such arge dowry. If it bes known to others, it will make people keep an eye on it. If we are not cautions, we will not only harm her, but also will get the family into trouble. He had made it clear that if Angel was not married, it will be good to the family. Once she married, no matter who she married to, the Duncan family would have to worry about it. Therefore, no one could control Angel''s marriage. As a Duncan, it was best to hope that Angel would not get married. Of course, if the stakes were high enough to call for a marriage, then Angel would be the best choice. In this case, Kyle had the final say. This was yton¡¯s endorsement to Angel. After all, Maisy was her stepmother, and the rtionship between them was not good. Not only they, but Frank, the father, paid no attention to the two siblings. It was not impossible that if they had thought of Angel''s marriage, they would marry her off at random. Dougie and Hector nced at Frank and said, "Of course, how could Angel easily get married?" Edward turned to ask Frank in a whisper, "Brother, do you know the merger case of Kyle?" "We are only in charge of domestic affairs," he deadpanned. So he didn''t know about it. Edward pressed his lips and thought Frank was cowardly as a father. yton''s eyes turned to Frank. "You should deal with the thing rted to Leo." "Yes, Dad," Frank said. There was a slight noise outside the pavilion as crowds of guests poured in. Frank got up and said, "Dad, we are going out to wee the guests." They were his children, but he found that in fact, he was just a decoration. It was not his turn to take care of Kyle. What happened to Angel was Kyle¡¯s decision, and it was none of his business. There was even no room for him to take care of things rted to Leo. He couldn''t sit down any longer. He might as well go out to meet the guests. Over the years, he had used to such a situation. Since he was helpless, he did not intend to be hard on himself. The only thing Frank did actively in his life was probably to be with Maisy, but which made his life more passive. He didn''t want to think about it anymore. Chapter 43 Angel Was Ever Better Than Anna Chapter 43 Angel Was Ever Better Than Anna The first to arrive were the ones from the Newman Family, the Hall Family, and the Pearson Family. Charles was with his wife, Sofia, and his daughter, Anna on both sides. Sofia had an indifferent expression on her face. As Charles and Anna greeted others, she just slightly nodded without saying much. Anna was dressed in a white dress today with a light blue belt around her waist which was knotted on one side into a light blue rose, making her look chic and refreshing. Her whole outfit set off her face which was originally beautiful, making her look more extraordinary as if she were a fairy. With a light smile on the corner of her lips, she greeted every acquaintance politely. Charles''s face was as serious andposed as ever. They were followed by a couple from the Hall Family. As Dennis Hall walked, he whispered to his wife, Jessie Graham. William kept staring at Anna as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. His clothes today matched Anna''s. He wore a white three-piece suit with a light blue tie that matched Anna''s belt. This pair of the beautiful and handsome young couple immediately attracted everyone''s attention. Laura was holding the arms of her father, Marcus Pearson. With a light smile on the corner of her lips, she kept staring at William and Anna from time to time. Wearing a bright red dress today, as usual, she looked beautiful and noble. She was a beautiful woman who wouldn¡¯t easily be inconspicuous among the crowd. As soon as Anna saw Alexia, she intimately took Alexia''s arms, "Aunt Alexia, your gown is so beautiful! When ites to a dress of such a color, only someone whose temperament and skin tone like yours can handle it. You indeed are good at choosing clothes!" Alexia graciously allowed Anna, Laura, and other noblewomen who came to observe her dress after they heard Anna¡¯s words. Then she proudly said, ¡°My Angel personally picked it for me! I think she has good taste as well. So I will leave what I should wear in the future to her." Anna smiled more affectionately, "Where is Angel? I brought Laura along with me to see her. They are almost at the same age. So I think they will get along with each other." Alexia immediately looked around and shouted, "Angel!" Angel responded from afar, lifting her skirt and walking over gracefully. As a coordinator of this banquet, she had been helping her aunt. And as time went on, the ones from the PR department and the housekeeper at home woulde directly to her if they needed anything. After all, in their opinion, Angel was much more talkative than Miss Alexia. When Angel approached, Anna couldn¡¯t help but suck in a breath of cold air, feeling that she almost couldn¡¯t maintain the smile on her face. As for the red dress Angel was wearing, Anna had seen it on the runway, only to find that it was the "summer" dress out of the "Your Four Seasons" series which beat David Lee¡¯s work! When she saw the skirt on Alexia''s body, it suddenly urred to her that the nude-colored one on Alexia''s body was the one named "spring". It was just that the color shouldn¡¯t be the one on the runway, which was why she didn''t recognize it for a moment. "Aunt." Angel came to them with a smile, gently lifting the hem of her skirt with one hand. And she got an elegant posture and a sweet smile on her face. "Angel,e here. Let me introduce you to everyone." Alexia immediately held Angel''s hand. Angel greeted everyone one by one under Alexia''s introduction. "Uncle Charles, Aunt Sofia, Sister Anna." "Uncle Dennis, Auntie Jessie, Brother William." "Uncle Marcus, Sister Laura." Angel¡¯s well-behaved look stunned Anna. And for a moment, she even had a feeling that this Angel wasn¡¯t the same as the one she knew. She had always been reserved and cold towards her. Seeing Angel, Sofia stared at her quickly and stared closely at her face without saying a word. She subconsciously gripped Charles with her hands. Charles felt the pain and shook off her hands, ring at her. Sofia awkwardly stopped staring at Angel and turned her head to look at others. Angel looked at her and couldn''t help but feel pain in her heart. Even so, she listened to Jessie talking to her with a smile on her face as usual. "Oh my God, is this Angel? Ouch, she simply looks so simr to Isabelle. Alexia, don''t you think so?" Jessie asked Alexia with surprise as well as joy. Alexia smiled and said, "Yes. As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. The more Angel ages, the more she looks like my sister-inw." Jessie couldn''t help but pull Angel''s hands, "What a beauty she is! She looks more beautiful than her mom at her age. Yo, look at her. she''s so, so good looking." Angel smiled gently, looking decent and elegant. Laura couldn¡¯t hide her shock. She thought to herself, ¡°Howe this little girl was so beautiful. While standing in front of her, even Anna is overshadowed. And judging from her gentle and well-behaved appearance, no one will think that she is a fool. Nobody will remember this fact anymore.¡± Laura nced at Anna who was standing next to her with a smile on her face. However, in her heart, she knew that Anna probably had met a strong opponent this time. When it came to the things which Anna possessed, whether it was her family background, her look, and her temperament, or her talent, Angel had it all. And Angel was even better than Anna. For some reason, Laura looked at Angel, feeling a chill rising behind her. Charles looked at his wife who was silent beside him, feeling annoyed in his heart. In his opinion, if Sofia could be as socially proactive as Jessie, he surely would be in less trouble. On this kind of asion, females needed to show up to socialize with each other. However, Sofia didn¡¯t say a word. Suppressing his anger, Charles said amiably, ¡°Angel, you are so grown-up in a blink of an eye. Back then, you used to hang out with my Belle when you were both little girls. Angel, now that Belle is gone. Her sister, Anna is still here. You should visit my family more frequently in the future.¡± It was clear that Sofia''s body stiffened after she heard Charles¡¯ words. Angel didn¡¯t respond upon hearing Charles''s words. Instead, she smiled at Sofia, "Aunt Sofia, aren¡¯t you feeling well? I''ll have someone take you to the VIP room to have a rest there." Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Everyone looked at Sofia. Jessie said with concern, "Ouch! Sofia, your face is so pale. Let me apany you to take a rest." She held Sofia with one hand. Angel said, "Thank you, Auntie Jessie. Sorry for causing trouble to you." Jessie smiled and said, "Look at Angel. Why is she articte and talkative? It doesn¡¯t trouble me at all. I''ll apany your Aunt Sofia to rest. You and your siblings should talk with each other more." Laura took a deep breath and showed a most friendly and cordial smile, "Angel..." "Miss... Miss Angel? Oh my god! What... What did I see? How can it be Miss Angel?" "Holy shit. It''s indeed Miss Angel!" Two exims interrupted Laura''s words. Aydin and Harvey stood in front of Angel in unison. Aydin and Harvey were both the most favored grandsons in their respective families. And both of them followed their grandfathers respectively. However, as soon as they entered the banquet hall, they saw a familiar face among the crowd. They couldn¡¯t help but exim in surprise. The two of them eximed a bit loudly, attracting the ones surrounding them to look over. Ronan Barrett couldn¡¯t help but reach out and p his grandson, thinking to himself, ¡°Howe this brat acts inappropriately in public?¡± But Aydin surely couldn¡¯t care about these. Harvey and Aydin eyed Angel up and down, observing her. Alexia couldn''t help but say, "What''s wrong with these two naughty kids?" But Angel just looked at them with a smile. Although Angel was smiling gently and elegantly as usual, for some reason, everyone felt apelling aura emitting from her body as she stood in front of these two handsome boys. Aydin touched his nose and called out gently. It seemed that if he talked more loudly or he blinked his eyes, the one in front of him would disappear. So he called out carefully with unusual caution, "Miss Angel?" Angel felt amused and gently responded, "Good evening." Aydin jumped backward with a big step in fright and pulled Harvey over. "Harvey! She''s indeed Miss Angel!" Harvey stared at Angel with widened eyes. Angel felt speechless. Alexia, who was puzzled, asked Angel, "Do you guys know each other?" Angel said lightly, "They''re my students." ¡°What?¡± The ones around couldn''t help but be petrified. It was clear that Harvey and Aydin looked like they were about the same age as Angel, or rather, they looked a little older than Angel. Originally, they thought that Angel should have attracted two yboys with her beauty. Howe now Harvey and Aydin were Angel¡¯s Students? However, Aydin and Harvey did call her "Miss Angel" just now! Before anyone could question Angel, Ronan, Aydin''s grandfather, who was walking behind Aydin, stepped forward and asked Angel hesitantly, "Are you the assistant of Professor Jordan in University M, Miss Angel?" Angel was extremely well-behaved in front of the elders. So she nodded with a sweet smile, "Hello, I''m Angel." Alexia was surprised by the fact that Ronan was somewhat almost respectful to Angel. So she introduced Angel in a hurry, "Angel, this is Ronan from Jiaheng Real Estate. Call him Grandpa Ronan quickly!" Angel bowed gently, "Good day, Grandpa Ronan!" Ronan hurriedly reached out and helped her up ceremonially, "Hey, I don¡¯t deserve this! I don¡¯t deserve this!" He looked at Angel, "What a surprise! What a surprise! Miss Angel, do you know? Miss Angel, do you know that this brat of ours, Aydin, is now reformed and rehabilitated because of you? And so is the brat from the Cox family! Ralphie and I were thinking of going to University M one day to personally thank Professor Jordan. But Miss Angel, I didn''t expect that you would be the granddaughter of Mr. yton. Ralphie, Ralphie! Come on,e on!" After Harvey''s grandfather, Ralphie Cox, knew Angel''s identity, he was astonished as well. After that, he was emotional. Angel looked at the two students of hers who were standing aside with mixed feelings as she said to the two elders, "You can just call me Angel. We aren¡¯t at school. I am a junior in front of your guts. Kindly don¡¯t be polite to me." Ronan and Ralphie were no longer calm, "She¡­ She...Look at her! Alexia, your family is indeed so good at educating children!" Alexia was modest with honor. Aydin muttered, "Grandpa, we''re doing well now as well!" Ronan red at him, "That''s because of Angel!" He turned to Angel and said with a smile, "Angel, when these two boys are in your hands, you can beat them up and scold them. If they don''t do as you say, you canin to us directly. We will discipline them for you. And we will surely break their legs." Angel smiled and nced at the two students of hers whose faces were livid. And she said with a smile, "Grandpa Ronan, Granpa Ralphie, both of them are quite proficient and professionally capable. You can rest assured." Ralphie was extremely satisfied, saying, "We rest assured. This time, we are relieved, Angel, if you need anything in the future, juste to us!" Thinking of Angel''s identity all of a sudden, he became embarrassed again, saying, "Oh, I think your grandfather, your aunt, and your brother are all responsive to your requests. So there is nothing we can do to help you." Alexia smiled and said in a lowered voice so that everyone could hear her words, "You can help me. Of course, you can. Grandpa Ronan, Granpa Ralphie, this girl is quite naughty. We frequently punish her by deducting allowance. When she gets punished next time and can¡¯t afford to buy ant food, I will let her go to you guys for dinner." Hearing her words, everyone was stunned at first. Then theyughed. Alexia''s words instantly brought everyone close to each other, making Angel¡¯s position of being a junior clear again. After all, they couldn¡¯t let otherspare the grandsons of the two families frequently. Even if they got along with Angel, it was a social asion anyway. In Alexia¡¯s opinion, only by acting appropriately could they get things done better in the future. Chapter 44 It Was So Incredulous Chapter 44 It Was So Incredulous Ronan and Granpa were indeed more cheerful. Ronan said with a big smile, "Angel, if they deduct your allowance next time,e to my house!" Angel immediately smiled and said, "Good!" Angel responded as if she were a lively and cute little girl, making her look even more animated. The ones around Angel judged her even more differently. From the moment Angel entered the garden, she, who was a radiant girl, had attracted everyone''s attention with ease. Only after inquiry did they find out that Angel was Kyle''s sibling, Angel and that she was the eldestdy of the Duncan Family. The ones who didn¡¯t know the inside stories began to turn to the ones who knew the details about what was going on with thisdy showing up out of nowhere. After all, over so many years, everyone knew that the eldestdy of Frank¡¯s branch was Daisy. For a while, rumors rted to various versions of Angel''s past went around. It wasn¡¯t until they heard the conversation between Ronan and Ralphie that they knew that Miss Angel was also a teacher in a university! Originally, they thought that finally, there was someone in the city who could rival Miss Anna from the Newman Family in terms of beauty. However, they didn¡¯t expect that this youngdy would be so talented. Judging from the current situation, she was even more outstanding than Anna! Anna looked at the ones who flocked around Ang and Alexia from the Duncan Family as her heart was full of mixed feelings. William looked at the ones surrounding and frowned, thinking that they were indeed so snobbish. Wherever they went in the past, Anna and he would be the focus. They would be surrounded by groups of people who asked them many questions and cared about them. However, these people ignored them today. They deliberately wore the new clothes designed by Dream Work Studio today. But no one cared. Instead, they all paid attention to Alexia and Angel. William Was so ustomed to "taking the lead". The main point was that when he stood by Anna''s side, they would always be the most dazzling ones. However, even he felt ufortable today, let alone Anna. Laura noticed Anna¡¯s expression and knew what she was thinking about. So she held Anna¡¯s arms lightly, ¡°Unexpectedly, the little Angel back then could be like what she is now. Sister Anna, we should take care of her better in the future. After all, she was once Belle¡¯s most favorite sister.¡± Anna''s face showed a light and somewhat sad smile, "Yes, Laura. In the future, we surely have to take care of her well. You are Belle''s best friend. You should be more concerned about her." Laura nodded obediently, "Sure." William sighed, "Anna, you are so kind. Belle has gone for so many years. Don¡¯t torture yourself again. Miss Angel is no longer stupid now. She doesn¡¯t need us to take care of her." Anna smiled sweetly and snapped, "William, you saw the scene that day, Jason said he was her senior. If we make friends with Angel, won''t you and Jason have more contact with each other?" It was something that William hadn''t thought of. So he said, "That''s true." The ones from the Duncan Family were the ones who couldn¡¯t calm themselves down the most. Except for Alexia who had a proud and relieved look on her face, everyone else was confused. ¡°What the hell is going on with this Miss Angel?¡± ¡°Is she an assistant to a professor of University M?¡± "is Angel a teacher?" "Moreover, does she work at University M?" "How is that possible? Are you kidding?" "it is a great joke!" "Everyone knows that she''s an idiot, okay?" "That''s right! What is this? What kind of nonsense is this?" "Nonsense? That''s from Jiaheng Real Estate. And that is Ralphie from Yongxin Department. They are This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. as influential as our master. How can they talk nonsense?" "I''m not talking about Ronan and Ralphie. I''m talking about their grandsons!" "These are all elite figures. If their grandsons are talking nonsense, they surely will know it. Will they be convinced by their words? Will they still treat Angel so? Look at the looks in their eyes. They simply want to take Angel directly home and treat her as their biological granddaughter as well as grandson- inw." "But it is too unbelievable. How is it possible? Is University M a ce which people can get into with ease? Being a student there is so difficult, let alone being a teacher there!" "Could it be that Kyle helped her get in there by bribing someone there?" "Even if Kyle did so, she could be a student there at most. Howe she could be a teacher there? if she weren¡¯t that capable, would she embarrass herself there? Impossible!" "But, it is said that Angel is a university teacher. Even if I am beaten to death, I won¡¯t ever believe it!" "I won''t believe it either!" As everyone in the Duncan Family was whispering, the four masters of the Duncan Family over there hade over to wee the guests. Ronan and Ralphie were quite happy to go to yton. And they left their grandchildren behind to give Alexia and Angel a hand. After they met yton, they were still excited! "Mr. yton, hey, Mr. yton, happy birthday! Happy birthday!" The two saluted to yton with their hands in unison. yton got up to greet them. "Hey, Mr. yton, let me tell you, I indeed have to thank you for raising a good granddaughter. this little girl, she is simply too good. Speaking of the two naughty boys, we can¡¯t make them change even if we beat them up. I didn¡¯t expect that over these two months, your girl dragged them back to the right path. Thanks! Thank you! Thank you very much!" The two of them took yton''s hands without saying a word and began to thank him. yton was simply bewildered. "Who are you talking about? Are you talking about Alexia?" yton was a bit stunned. Ronan said excitedly, "Ah, no, if Alexia is willing to help me discipline my grandson, of course, it will be good as well!" yton asked them as he turned his gaze to Taylor, "Then who are you talking about?" Before Taylor could say anything, Ralphie snapped, "Mr. yton, regarding my grandson, Harvey, you''ve seen him before. This child grew up by my side. Ever since his childhood, he has been smart. Although he is stubborn, I like him the most. But the more he ages, the less he is educated. All-day long, he has been idle. He has a good brain. It is just that he doesn''t use it in the right way. s! I am so angry. I beat him up a few times. And I have thrown a tantrum as well. Even so, it is useless!¡± Ralphie couldn¡¯t help but sigh. yton nodded his head and listened to his words with a smile on his face. After all, everyone had a few disobedient children. So did the Duncan Family. It was just that he wouldn¡¯t ever take those children seriously. Ronan echoed and snapped, "But two months ago, these two little kids suddenly look like new persons. Instead of going out and fooling around, they started to work hard. They also told their fathers that they wanted to go to intern in thepany''s design department and work as a staff at the bottom. Ouch, it makes me so happy. I thought even if they said so out of a whim, I wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate it as well! " Ronan was so happy that he patted his thighs. Granpa went on to say, "We secretly observed them over the two months. I didn¡¯t expect that these two yful boys and naught, didn¡¯t dy their official business at all! I asked them what had happened and what their intentions were. As a result, under my questioning, I knew that their teacher had educated them. They said that they wouldn¡¯t continue to be yboys in the future. Ouch! They even know that they are yboys and defeated children!" "When they were enrolled into the School of Design, we found it quite honored. Seeing that they were having a degenerated life, we didn¡¯t restrain them much either. Thinking that they were absurd, we didn¡¯t bother with them. We originally didn¡¯t count on them for anything. After this semester began, we didn¡¯t expect Professor Jordan toe back to teach them. Moreover, his teaching assistant is such a powerful person that she could make our prodigal grandsons go back to the right track. We two also discussed with each other when to go to school to meet Professor Jordan so that we could thank them properly. Unexpectedly, as soon as we were here today, the two boys saw your granddaughter. And they were dumbfounded, saying that she is the assistant professor." "Ouch, Mr. yton, see how blessed you are! Your Kyle is beyond our reach. And now even Angel is so powerful! Among the ones in the previous generation, there is such a woman as Alexia. And among the current generation, you directly trained your granddaughter to be a female doctor. Mr. yton, you aren¡¯t going to leave us a way out of this life, right? We can''t even catch up with you!" The two of them wereughing heartily. yton was confused. As he put on a smile forcibly to cater to the two of them, he winked at Taylor off the stage who had juste back in a hurry. Taylor whispered and reported to yton about what he had found out. yton was overwhelmingly shocked! At this time, someone came to invite Ronan and Granpa to go out to meet their friends, leaving the ones from the Duncan Family in the pavilion. yton couldn''t help but ask Taylor in a low voice, "Is everything you said true? Is Angel a teacher at University M?" Taylor nodded and said in a modest voice so that everyone on the scene could hear his words, "I asked Miss Alexia for confirmation. When Miss Angel studied abroad, she was under Professor Jordan¡¯s guidance. This time, it was also because of Professor Jordan¡¯s invitation that she can from abroad to work. This semester, she will act as Professor Jordan''s teaching assistant first. After she goes through formal graduation and gets a Ph.D. degree, she can stay and teach in University M. " The ones from the Duncan Family looked at Taylor in surprise, feeling that they probably had experienced some hallucinations in their ears. yton murmured, "None¡­ None of them has told me about this!" Taylor lowered his head and thought about it, saying, "Mr. yton when Missy just came back, she told us she was at work. It is just no one of us cared about her words." Because in everyone''s eyes, Angel was a fool. And she was just brought around by Kyle all these years. Kyle taught her things about how to get along with others and get things done so that she wouldn¡¯t look different from someone normal. Everyone from the Duncan Family thought the same way. Even though Angel had said that she was studying and that she was working, no one had believed her words. "Hehe." yton couldn''t help butugh. ¡°It is indeed true that people can¡¯t judge others by their appearances.¡± ¡°Regarding this child, Angel¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t she know how everyone in this family thought of her? Or didn¡¯t she simply give a damn about it at all?¡± ¡°I can''t believe that this child has brought such glory to the Duncan Family.¡± yton couldn¡¯t hide the smile on his face. More and more people came over to congratte yton on his birthday celebration. yton straightened up his back. Now he was waiting for his grandson¡¯s return. Angel became the focus of the attention, which infuriated Daisy, who had been waiting for the grand finale. Staring at the red dress on Angel''s body and then looking at the pink-colored dress on her body, she felt dwarfed. Then she looked at Alexia who was surrounded by many guests and thought to herself, ¡°The old woman is a big hit tonight. And the dress which I have carefully selected isn¡¯t even noticeable.¡± Daisy felt ufortable in her heart because of this matter. As her chest seemed to be congested in anger, she felt that she had difficulties breathing. ¡°Didn''t my mom say that my aunt liked DAR''s work the most? Didn''t she say that my aunt likes something blue the most and that she likes to make Angel something white?¡± ¡°It seems that my mom is not a helper at all.¡± ¡°On such an asion, how to attract others¡¯ attention if I can¡¯t stand out with my dress?¡± However, before she could get over this matter, the sisters, Gracie and Kiara, ran over and told her that Angel was a Ph.D. as well as a teacher at the School of Design of University M! To Daisy, this was like a bolt from the blue! ¡°How could this be?¡± Daisy almost screamed out, "No way. Her IQ is so low. How can she be engaged in academic study? She''s so stupid that she can''t even do the addition or subtraction!" Gracie and Kiara and a group of youngdies who came over to watch the fun couldn''t help but look at each other with disbelief. ¡°Daisy couldn''t be a fool, could she?¡± ¡°Does Angel look like someone that can''t even do the addition or subtraction?¡± The gazes from the crowd made Daisy immediately realize that she had acted inappropriately. Then she angrily controlled her emotions for a while before saying disdainfully, "s! You may not believe my words. My brother is most distressed for her. For her, no matter how much she spends, he won¡¯t take it to his heart." The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
