Scarlet’s eyes unconsciouslynded on Ang’s back and she heaved a silent sigh as she thought, | wonder whether this girl


    would be able to stop Richard from joining his next mission. Would he give up for her sake?


    Despite the oue, this was ultimately one of Scarlet’s agenda tonight. She was determined to get Ang to talk Richard into


    giving up his current mission. This was the only wish she had as she didn’t want to lose her son.


    Another woman strode over quickly to stand by Scarlet as she reported in a low voice, “Madam Falkner, the vice president is


    upied with some guests, so he won''t be able to make it tonight.”


    Scarlet nodded. “Sure, I’ve noticed that. Please invite Miss Ang into my dressing room ten minutester.”


    This was a traditional formal banquet, so each guest in attendance dressed up to the nines. At that moment, there were a lot of


    people who shone in their respective industries gathered inside the hall.


    Ang was used to attending traditional banquets so she stood gracefully and with poise next to She became the center of


    attention of people inside the room and most people were also quite interested in the tall, handsome man by her side.


    Richard had hardly appeared with Scarlet. So, many of the guests didn’t realize that Richard was Scarlet’s only son.


    “Richard,” Suddenly, a low male voice rang out.


    He instantly stood up and greeted the man politely. “Uncle Walter.”


    Walter Falkner was Scarlet’s current husband and they didn’t have any children of their own all this while so they had adopted a


    girl since she was a child. Walter was an elegant man who carried himself with an impressive aura. He had fallen in love at first


    sight with Scarlet and since their marriage, he had always respected her profession and her choices in life.


    This was also the reason why Richard was so respectful and polite toward his supposed stepfather.


    “Ang, this is Mr. Walter Falkner here,” Richard introduced Ang to Walter.


    She responded by greeting Walter politely, “Hi, Mr. Falkner.”


    “Nice to meet you. You must be Richard''s girlfriend. Nice to meet you.” Walter nodded with a smile. “Richard, I''ve got a few old


    friends who are keen to meet you. Would you be able to spare the time ande with me?”


    Subsequently, Richard turned to Ang and said, “I''ll be back soon.”


    Ang sent them off with a smile. At that moment, one of the female ushers came over to Ang’s side and said, “Miss Ang,


    our mistress would like to meet with you privately.”


    Meanwhile, Ang was stunned. “Who would she be?”


    “It''s Madam Falkner. I''ll lead the way.” The usher smiled and gestured ahead.


    Ang hastily rose to her feet and didn’t drag things any longer. Why does my future mother-inw want to see me in private?!


    She trailed after the usher toward the dressing room on the second floor with a slightly anxious heart.


    Meanwhile, Scarlet stood in front of the French windows inside the dressing room on the second floor. From Scarlet’s posture, it


    seemed that she had been purposely waiting for Ang to arrive.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “Ang, it’s good to see you,” she spoke in a soft voice.


    “Ms. Husson,” Ang nced at her future mother-inw meekly without knowing what to say.


    “Take a seat and let’s have a chat.” Scarlet gestured at the couch and took a seat too. The waiter came over and served them


    some tea before walking out of the room.


    Ang was quite nervous and she couldn''t stop twiddling her fingers.
