Chapter 1001


    “Nope, but he definitely crossed the line because he was still your boyfriend at that time. I didn’t dare to


    tell you about it,” recounted Annie.


    Ang took a deep breath. “He’s going to get it from me if I see him again.”


    “Ang, you deserve someone better. You’re prettier and more capable than I am. You’re going to take


    over thepany in the future as the charismatic president.” Annieid out her genuine thoughts.


    Ang smiled lightly. “I am going to take my mother’s ce.”


    “For real! That’s awesome!” Annie gave Ang a thumbs up.


    Ang stared at her sister. Due to the sincere bond they mutually shared, never once had she thought


    of putting Annie in harm’s way. That was why she forsaked every chance she had by backing off when


    it came to her rtionship with Richard.


    Afterpleting his mission, Richard had made up his mind to keep his grandfatherpany for a


    while at Lloyd Residence. There was a week for him to spend time with his family before undertaking


    his next mission.


    At 12.00PM, Phillip was feeding the fish at the yard when Richard returned home. He walked toward


    Phillip’s back and sprinkled the kes into the pond while saying, “Grandpa, there’s something I gotta


    inform you about.”

    “Go ahead.”


    “I’ve called off the engagement with Annie.”


    Phillip turned to look at him in confusion. “Why didn’t you discuss with me first?”


    “There’s no need for that. I have someone I like.” Richard’s tone was firm. The old man was on the


    brink of flipping


    out, but his attention was diverted to Richard’s confession. “Oh? Who is it?”


    “Not now. I’ll tell you some other day.”


    “Don’t you dare pull a trick on me. I won’t let you off if it’s a lie.”


    “Grandpa, please inform Meyers Family about it in my stead. I will send my apology to them.”


    Needless to say. Phillip would not permit Richard to do that since he was the one forcing the


    engagement on him in the first ce. If there had to be someone to apologize for it, Phillip should be


    the one doing it. He then patted Richard’s shoulder. ‘A weekter, bring over the girl you like. I would


    like to have a meal with her.”


    Richard took a few seconds to ponder over it. “Okay, I’ll do my best to persuade her.”


    That night, everyone was notified to have dinner at Meyers Residence. Phillip had phoned Joshua to


    apologize about the called-off engagement. Considering that it was a big family event, prudent notice


    was necessary.


    Ang and Annie headed straight to Meyers Residence from the mall in the city center and their


    parents arrived soon. after they did. Dinner was served as usual on the dining table in which every


    member of the family was present..


    “Ann, don’t take it personally and don’t me the Lloyd Family,” Joshuaforted Annie before turning


    to face his youngest son and daughter-inw. “You too. Don’t be too upset about it. It’ll do no good to


    both families.”


    “Rx, Dad. We’re chill.” Matthew eased his father’s worries.


    “Yeah. Ann is just down on her luck.” As the mother, Jennifer was a little resentful about the oue


    as she had been looking forward to her daughter’s marriage.


    Hearing that, Daphne piped out as her sister-inw, “Jennifer, look at the bright side. Ann is still young


    and pretty. She’ll find herself a good match sooner orter.


    Think about it-no matter how outstanding of a person Richard is, he has to be away from home often


    for his missions. Ann might live a widow-like life after marrying him. She’s better off being single.”
