“I have money. It’s enough for us to spend.” Angeline chuckled and placed the card in the car before shutting the
door and waving Evander goodbye.
The man did not bother wasting his breath arguing over it. Hence, he nodded at her and drove away.
Angeline’s lips were pursed tightly as she watched his car disappear from her sight. No matter how desperate she
was, she would never accept Evander’s card.
After all, she was always misunderstood for approaching Evander because of money. If she accepted the card, it
would make things difficult for her when they broke up.
With that, she stepped into the building and took the elevator to go to the third floor. That was where all the luxury
brands’ stores were.
Soon, she arrived at a jewelry store. After reading the signboard and making sure she was at the right store, she
strode into the area.
Just then, the staff who was standing at the door approached and greeted respectfully, “Welcome!”
“Hello.” Angeline smiled. With that, she scanned every piece of jewelry behind the glass display but did not find
what she wanted.
Noticing Angeline’s furrowed brows, the staff hurriedly reminded, “Miss, you can also tell me what kind of jewelry
you’re looking for, so I can recommend some to you.”
Thus, Angeline took out the men’s ring given by Hanson and handed it to the staff. “This is from your store, isn’t it?
Is there a ring of the same design?”
The staff took the ring and discussed it with a few colleagues before answering her politely, “I’m really sorry, miss.
This is a limited edition ring from six years ago. Back then, our company invited a famous designer from Marsingfill
to design three special pieces of jewelry for our company. There was only one piece for each design. Perhaps you

Angeline was delighted to hear that. If there were only one piece of jewelry for each design, then her chances of
looking for the person would be greater.
“I see. Could you look up the owner of this ring? I found it on the road, and I’m worried the owner might panic.”
The staff hurriedly nodded, gazing at her with admiration. “Of course, but I’m afraid it’ll take some time because I’ll
have to send the ring back to our headquarters to get it checked.”
“It’s fine. Time is not a problem.”
Angeline pursed her lips as hatred flashed past her eyes. Indeed, time was not a problem. Finding out who the
monster was from back then was the only thing that mattered.
Angeline had no assistants by her side when she exited the jewelry store. Hence, she left the building right away to
avoid attracting attention.
After finding a deserted spot, she pulled out her phone and dialed a familiar number.
“Ms. Yandell, would you care for a meal with your artist? Are there any jobs these days? Becoming popular isn’t
important. Anything’s fine as long as I get to earn some money.”
Nancy teased, “Wow, you’re finally contacting me. I thought you were busy dating these days.”
“Tsk. Nonsense. Men aren’t as important as money.”
Nancy rolled her eyes and purposely raised her voice when she said, “Don’t be such a showoff. Your man isn’t an
ordinary person, anyway. Then again, if you want to earn an income with your capabilities, there is a company that
recently invited you to help with their live commerce.”
Hearing that, Angeline frowned. “A live stream?”
“Yes. The eleven-eleven sale is in three days. Since it’s a national online shopping day, so all the major companies
are looking for hosts to hold their live commerce. It’s a little degrading, but the job pays an eight-figure salary. It
can even increase your work performance.”
In the internet age, live streams had become a form of entertainment for the elderly. On top of that, the live
streaming and entertainment industries were slowly integrating. Many major celebrities often appeared on official
live-streaming platforms to help out with their live commerce.
However, the offer seemed a little too good to be true.
“But…” Nancy drawled, sounding hesitant. “The company that invited us to host the live commerce is Hanson’s
branch company. Considering your relationship with him, I don’t mind declining it if you don’t want to go.”
Angeline’s expression turned grim when she heard that, and she could not help but wonder what Hanson was up to.
Has he forgotten the lesson Evander taught him yesterday?
“It’s okay. You can just forget about it. I’ll call them to decline the offer.”
“No, it’s fine. I’ll take it,” said Angeline. Though she did not know what Hanson’s motive was, there was no reason
for her to reject a job worth eight figures. All she needed to do was talk.
I won’t necessarily bump into him during the job, anyway. Besides, I heard Joseline is still resting from giving birth. I
can’t miss the opportunity of infuriating her if I meet him.
With that, Angeline asked Nancy to get her a driver to send her home.
Meanwhile, a heated argument had broken out among the Yiurk family over the eleven-eleven sale contract.
Joseline stood in the living room while gripping the contract Hanson had just taken out of his bag. Her entire body
was shaking with rage as she questioned, “Hanson, don’t you know Forrester Group is established by the Yiurk and
the Sorelle family? Besides, you know Angeline has been eyeing the company’s shares. Hasn’t it crossed your mind
that this contract is basically giving her a chance to infiltrate our company?”

With a calm expression, Hanson sat on the couch and took a sip of his coffee before asking plainly, “You were the
one managing Forrester Group back then, right?”
“Yes. Is there something wrong?” Joseline felt panic rise in her heart at the sudden question.
Clang! Hanson suddenly slammed the coffee cup on the table. His expression turned as dark as thunder, and he
chided, “I’ve asked Shay to check the sales performance report, and it seems that Forrester Group has been facing
losses for the past few years. Even Yiurk Group has lost several million, too. What have you been doing?”
Joseline shuddered at his words, and guilt flashed past her eyes.
Suddenly, an idea came to her. She feigned an innocent expression and went to Hanson’s back to give him a
shoulder massage while saying piteously, “Hanson, I’ve been busy for the past few years. That’s why I didn’t have
time to manage Forrester Group. You can’t hire Angeline just to vent your anger—”
“Looks like you’ve underestimated Angeline’s influence. She’s the most suitable candidate for this event. Have you
been faking your friendship with her all this time?” Hanson grabbed her arm and pulled her forward violently,
casting her a mocking glance.
“I-I…”
His stares made Joseline panic. Thus, she knitted her brows and gazed at him in disbelief. “Hanson, we’re a married
couple, and our son was born not long ago. How could you doubt me already?”
At the mention of their son, Hanson’s face contorted with rage. His gaze became even more piercing, as if he
wanted to tear Joseline’s pretentious mask apart.
“From today onward, Forrester Group will be managed by Yiurk Group. If you’re not happy about it, you can
withdraw your shares!”
With that, Hanson shoved Joseline aside, stuffed the contract into his bag, and stormed off without bothering to see
if she was fine.
At the same time, the sound of the baby crying came from upstairs. However, it only made Hanson find the
situation more ironic. He clenched his fists and furrowed his brows in frustration.
