Chapter 34
“Tommy got what he deserved. He won’t have the chance to harass you anymore,” Taylor said as he opened the gate to the villa for Angeline.
“Thank you,” she replied. She knew that it was Sean’s way of not involving her and warning Tommy.
No wonder Ned had called her. He was probably trying to hold her accountable.
Outside the shabby area, a sleek, black sports car stood out.
Ned sat in the car with furrowed brows as he realized Angeline had blocked his number when he heard the busy signal on his phone.
Annoyed, he tossed the phone aside and lit a cigarette.
On the passenger seat lay the scarf Angeline had left in the car the night before.
Ned only found out the drugs Tommy had given him weren’t actually truth serum after Tommy was brought to
the private room by Sean’s bodyguards.
Tommy had lied to him out of fear that he might relent.
Ned had forced Angeline to take those drugs and insisted she wait for Zachary to come and pick her up.
Angeline swore that even if she were to be trapped in Emmerson Village forever, she would leave on her own.
It was evident that she had misunderstood that he had intended to make her sleep with Zachary.
Just thinking about Angeline’s “as you wish” annoyed Ned to no end.
Thankfully, Sean was there.
If it were anyone else, Ned would be concerned about Angeline’s safety, but Sean should have already taken
Angeline to the hospital.
He rolled down the car window. As he looked at the hustle and bustle of the village, he took a deep drag of his
cigarette.
All he could think about was Angeline’s expressions from the night before, which only made him feel more
irritated.
All of Ned’s impressions of Angeline weren’t good. In his mind, she was the third wheel between him and
Ingrid, an unshakeable nuisance.
However, when Ned heard that she was actually planning to take her own life when she had accidentally saved him that time, his heart ached inexplicably.
He couldn’t connect the image of someone trying to end her life with the beautiful girl who had kissed him. against a wall covered in blooming roses at sunset.

For the first time since losing his memory, Ned wanted to know about his past with Angeline,
Unfortunately, apart from that scene, he couldn’t remember anything else.

The Family Search was a pre–recorded program, and the actual recording was scheduled for the day after.
In the evening, the production team called Angeline, informing her of the program’s flow and her scheduled appearance time.
Perhaps learning from the production team that Angeline was also going to participate in the program, Emmersons obtained Angeline’s phone number from the production team.
the
Seemingly having a premonition, Angeline pressed the record button when she answered the call.
“Angeline, you shameless bitch. Aren’t you very good at hiding? Why are you suddenly afraid when you know we’re going on the show?” Benjamin’s voice on the other end of the line was full of malicious glee.
“You ungrateful trash. We’re doing you a favor by having you marry the Morgan crip in Emmerson Village. There are so many men in college. A slut like you must have slept with countless of them. You-
Before Benjamin could finish, the phone was snatched away by his grandmother, Juliet Emmerson. Her voice
was as sharp as ever.
*Jodie, you heartless bitch. Why don’t you die? We raised you, and you caused your dad to go to prison? You’re just like your slutty mother.
“We bought her to continue the family line, fed her, and treated her well. Not only did she give birth to a worthless thing like you, she even ran away! She even took my eldest grandson with her to the grave! Why
didn’t you die with her?”
