Chapter 20

Floretta’s ember eyes became wide open as they glistened with light. Then she promptly jumped downfrom the couch and trotted into the house, straight toward the wardrobe. As she ran, she shouted, “I’mgoing out, Franny!”

Francesca Green, who had been taking care of Floretta since she was little, followed after her. “Whyare you going out right now, Ms. Floretta?”

“To replace Daddy!” Floretta went through the wardrobe to replace the clothes she wanted.

“Didn’t he promise yesterday that he’ll come back early during the night to celebrate your birthday?”

“I don’t want him to celebrate my birthday. He’s going to replace his girlfriend and ditch me.” As though thegirl was throwing a tantrum, she pulled out and threw the clothes inside the wardrobe all over the place.When she found a more formal-looking red dress, she positioned it in front of her body and showed it toher caretaker to see. “I want to wear this to meet Angel.”

“Who’s this… Angel?” Francesca was confused, though the name sounded familiar to her. I think Iheard Floretta mention it a couple of times before.

However, she didn’t take the girl’s words seriously, as all adults often do when listening to what childrensay.

Floretta’s eyes sparkled when she spoke about Angeline. “She used to be my idol, but now she’s myidol and my future mommy!”

Because the spokesperson arrangement was canceled on the spot, Angeline and Nancy weresurrounded by reporters as they tried to exit the building. Even after half an hour, they still couldn’tleave Golding Group. Nancy was protecting Angeline as she called the driver. “Block A, the entrance ofGolding Group. Quickly.”

Meanwhile, a dozen microphones and cameras were pushed so close to Angeline’s face that they werealmost kissing her.

“Is the reason Starlight Jewelry terminated the contract because of your pre-marital pregnancy fromfive years ago?”

“Did you suddenly return to the Sorelle family to fight for the inheritance?”

“Did you give birth to the child, Angeline? Who’s the father?”

“I heard your relationship with your family worsened and was the reason you got exiled. Is that true?”

The barrage of questions the reporters launched at Angeline landed squarely on her old wound.

Her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she remained silent.

Years of experience in the entertainment industry had taught her that the best thing she could do at themoment was to say nothing. If she spoke too much, she might accidentally say something wrong.

Nancy continued to repeat the same things as she blocked the reporters from getting closer toAngeline. “Sorry, but we didn’t come here to sign a contract. This is a private trip. Please make way.We will be making no comments today.”

The contract-signing ceremony was pretty significant, so a lot of reporters were there. Both Nancy andAngeline were getting squished pretty badly by the sea of people.

Just as Nancy was wondering what to do, a voice amplified by a loudspeaker to the point of beingdeafening was suddenly heard from behind the reporters. “Hello!”

The sea of reporters suddenly froze for a moment.

“Look! Denise is kissing her rumored boyfriend in the car! This is a rare opportunity! If any of youmanage to capture a picture of it, it’ll be going straight to the headlines!”

A middle-aged woman’s voice was heard from the loudspeaker. Not only that, she repeated the samething three times in a row in a mechanical manner.

Just as everyone was still dumbfounded about what was going on, a black sports car abruptly startedits engine in the open-air parking space in front of Golding Group’s entrance. A man and a womanwere sitting in the driver’s seat and the passenger seat. The woman in the passenger seat was usingher coat to cover up her face, and her figure looked like Denise’s.

“It’s Denise!” an unknown person shouted.

The wave of reporters promptly chased after the sports car with their cameras.

Angeline was still taken aback when the edge of her dress was tugged.

When she turned around, she saw a girl with hair buns clutching the corner of her dress. The girl waswearing a red strappy dress while looking as though there were stars in her eyes. She shushedAngeline before whispering, “Follow me.”

“What’s going on?” Nancy was still dumbfounded as she stared at the reporters chasing after the blacksports car. Then she waved her hand behind her, hoping to touch Angeline to get her to move. “Let’sgo, Angeline.”

However, her hand wasn’t hitting anyone, which prompted her to turn around in confusion. Where’sAngeline? Where did she go?

Concurrently, Angeline and the girl she met once before reentered Golding Group. They avoided all thereporters and the people who gathered in the lobby.

Angeline let out a sigh of relief after she hid inside a stairwell. Then she pulled out her phone and senta text message to Nancy while thanking her savior. “Thank you. Was the loudspeaker your doing aswell?”

“You’re welcome!” Floretta raised her watery eyes and stared at Angeline with a bright smile. “Theperson who was shouting earlier was my caretaker, Franny! The people inside the car were actuallyWallace and his girlfriend.”

“It was not Denise?”

“I asked my caretaker to lie to the reporters! He was unlucky to have been sitting at the entrance at thatmoment.” The girl stuck her tongue out, looking lively and adorable. “However, my daddy said thatWallace is a philandering man and that he changes girlfriends faster than he changes clothes! So,there’s no need to worry about him.”

Angeline wasn’t interested enough to ask who the man Floretta mentioned was, though she didvaguely understand what happened. With a confused look, she stared at the girl. “Why are you helpingme?”

“Because I can’t let them bully my future mommy!”

That stunned Angeline as she stared at the girl with innocent eyes and dressed like a character from achildren’s cartoon.

For some reason, she suddenly thought about what Joseline had said about her child still being alive. Ifthe child were still alive, they’d probably be as old as this girl right now.
