Angeline thanked Taylor as she got into the car.
She borrowed a charging cable from him and finally got her phone charged.
Upon turning it on, she saw over 60 missed calls. Except for two missed calls from Anne, the others were from the same number.
It was Ned.
Angeline tightly gripped her phone and wondered about Ned’s intention for making multiple calls.
Was it because he had found out she hadn’t slept with the man in the room he had arranged for her? Or
because he had found out she wasn’t with Zachary?
Whatever the reason was, it couldn’t be out of concern.
Angeline smiled self–mockingly and dialed Anne’s number.
“Angie!” Anne sounded excited when she answered the call, but she still spoke in a hushed tone.
“Angie, the police said everything’s cleared up, and Ms. Dalton said there’s no need for any compensation. I’ve
been released. I’m at the hotel arranged by the production team now.”
“Which hotel are you at? I’ll come over now,” Angeline said.
Feeling anxious that the Emmersons might bother Angeline, Anne hurriedly replied, “Don’t, please don’t come.
The Emmersons are also here.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine now. I’ll go back after the recording. But… I’m not sure if I can give Ned the photos.”
Angeline clenched her fists and felt a sting in her palm. Only then did she realize her palm was bruised from the night before. She whispered, “Throw aw

Anne was stunned.
After a while, a low sob sounded from the other end of the line. “I should’ve realized it earlier. You never came back with Ned after waking up from the co
“Anne, it’s all in the past now,” Angeline softly interrupted Anne.
“I just feel you’ve suffered too much, Angie.” Anne sighed heavily. “You loved Ned so much. You were even willing to give up your life for him. Ned clearly loved you the same too. You shouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Angeline’s love and concern for Ned were obvious to everyone.
Just then, another call came in. Angeline told Anne she had another call coming in and hung up on Anne.
When the call was connected, Angeline realized it was from The Family Search.
“Hi, Ms. Emmerson, can you come for the rehearsal this afternoon? The recording is tomorrow, and we need to
1/2.
“I won’t go for the rehearsal. I have other things to do.”
“Oh, okay. Then I’ll talk to you about the details later over the phone. You can call me Alex.”
Taylor, who was driving, saw Angeline put down her phone through the rearview mirror and said, “Ms. Angeline, if you don’t want to participate in The Family Search, you can ask Mr. Lawson to make a call.
“Don’t worry. Mr. Lawson and Professor Lawson have spoken on the phone. Professor Lawson hasn’t been affected. The production team has a bottom

Mentioning Sean inevitably made Angeline think of the incident from the night before. She gave Taylor an awkward smile and said, “It’s okay. I know what I’m doing. I have other reasons to participate in the program.”
At this moment, her phone screen lit up again.
It was Ned.
With the divorce certificate obtained and Anne and Ingrid’s matters settled, was Ned calling her to confirm whether she had fulfilled his final wish?
She lowered her gaze, silently watching the phone screen go dark before blocking the number.
Taylor dropped Angeline off at the villa gate and told her that Tommy had been arrested for drug–facilitated assault
