Chapter 397

Fred smiled as he leisurely walked out. “Miss Santos, long time no see…

Angel glanced at him. She felt that his smile gave off an uncomfortable vibe. Although his features bore some resemblance to Matthew, his eyes were sinister and repulsive. She coldly turned her gaze away, clearly not wanting to engage with him.

Fred was naturally unhappy to be ignored. He lowered his

is voice in displeasure. “Angel, don’t you recognize me? I am Matthew’s…”

“Get lost! Don’t try to cozy up to me Angel snapped, rolling her eyes and walking away without a second thought. She had recognized Fred, but she was well aware of the Grant family’s dirty dealings, especially Fred’s notorious reputation in Kranson City. Seeing him made her feel disgusted. Fred was already filled with anger. Now, he was further humiliated by Angel’s outburst. He had always been overshadowed by Matthew at the company, but he hadn’t expected to be disrespected by a mere actress here.

Despite being the daughter of the Santos family, Angel was just a vase to Fred, a useless decorative piece. Now, she dared to speak to him so rudely just because of Matthew.

“That bitch” Fred clenched his fists, pulling out his phone with a cold smile. “Angel, you forced my hand. Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance. Blame Matthew instead.”

Soon, several figures were stationed at the foot of the mountain.

The Anderson family’s memorial service didn’t last long, given that Sarah’s body was never found, and many formalities were omitted. In the end, a burial team laid her symbolic grave under the big tree in the Anderson family’s backyard, a way of returning her to her roots.

However, only Owen knew the real purpose behind this.

Olivia often took walks in the backyard, basking in the sun. There was a small wooden house in the backyard, which served as her private painting studio. Now, if she were to go to the backyard and see the large tree, it would remind her of Sarah. Coupled with the solitude of the backyard, it would likely bring her more sorrow than comfort

Angel accompanied Olivia in seeing off the last guests was exhausted by the end. Thinking she could finally leave, she heaved a sigh of relief and bid farewell to Olivia. As she stepped out, dusk had fallen,

Olivia wanted to keep her for the night, but Angel thought Matthew had probably gone to replace Valerie. This thought made her so angry that she couldn’t stay. She insisted on leaving.

“I won’t keep you here if you want to leave. Be careful on the road, Olivia said.

“Don’t worry, Olivia. I’ll come to keep you company in the next day or two Angel said coquettishly before leaving. She pulled out her phone to make a call when she saw a car approaching.

She moved aside to let it pass, but the car veered slightly off course, startling her. She stepped on the accelerator, but a sharp braking sound cut through the night.

Her car was hit, and Angel was furious.

Her mood had already been sour today, and this was her new car. Angered, she got out of her car to inspect the damage when a young man stepped out from the other vehicle. It was too dark to see his face clearly. Angel was about to shout in anger when she noticed a cold smile on the man’s lips.

The smile sent a chill down Angel’s spine. She was about to return to her car when the man moved swiftly. He immediately covered her mouth and dragged her into a van, blindfolding and tying her up.

Another man jumped out of the van, and they drove off,

, one car leading and the other following.

They clearly knew the area well, having likely scouted it beforehand. After winding through the roads down the mountain, they soon disappeared into the night.

The night was as black as ink, making it seem like nothing had happened.

Valerie was

was sitting in Matthew’s car, pouting a bit angrily.

She was supposed to leave on her scooter, but halfway through her ride, she heard a honk behind her. Matthew had somehow followed her and insisted she get into his car.

She hadn’t stopped her scooter, but Matthew still managed to block her path.

She thought, ‘So what if you have a car!‘

Chapter 397

Matthew folded down the back seat, stashed the scooter in the back of the car, and drove down the mountain.

He thought Valerie had fallen asleep, but when he glanced up, he saw her reflection in the car window. Her cheeks were puffed up like a cartoon character, making him want to pinch her.

“Don’t be angry. I’m taking

ing you to see something.” he said.

Just before heading down the mountain, Charles had sent him a message. They parked the car at the park in front of Slotmond Estate.

Valerie listened in a daze, but since she was already in his car, she couldn’t run anywhere. So she nodded. However, Matthew still acted mysterious, When they arrived, just as she was about to get out, her vision went black. Something cold was placed over her eyes.

She took a moment to realize that it was his tic. She was confused. ‘Why is he covering g my eyes with his tie?!

“Come with me.” In complete darkness, Matthew’s voice became particularly clear and deep. Valerie felt her hands enveloped by warm, large hands. She had to follow his footsteps carefully because she couldn’t see anything.

Even so, she accidentally stepped on his feet However, Matthew didn’t get angry. They walked for about twenty–something steps, and Valerie vaguely heard the sound of music playing

In her confusion, the tie was untied. When she regained her sight, she saw a pink car parked not far away.

“Is this… did you prepare this for me?” she asked in surprise.

The car wasn’t large. It was the same model Matthew usually drove, but the interior of the car seemed to have been body, there were images resembling her cartoon hamster. Valerie’s heart skipped a beat unexpectedly.
