Chapter 36


    Angeline’s right eyelid twitched when she heard that.


    Denise’s words kept haunting her. That’s definitely a warning that actually means something.


    A live-stream voting session between Angeline and Denise would be conducted to decide on the


    ambassador for the public service announcement. Besides, the gifts given by their fans during the live


    stream would be donated to the Red Cross.


    Angeline had been reading her script seriously the moment she reached the dressing room. She didn’t


    even put it down.


    Although she was a very experienced actress, the public service announcement this time was


    extremely important to her.


    I have to win! Only then can I take back my shares with the Sorelle family and get my revenge on


    Joseline!


    At that moment, she heard porcin crashing on the ground. Following that, a girlined, “Hey!


    Don’t step on my little trumpet! All of you are so mean!”


    The girl’s voice captured Angeline’s attention immediately. Why does it sound like Floretta’s voice?


    She lifted her hand and asked her makeup artist to stop before she went to open the door.


    Then, she saw a security guard carrying a little girl. Thetter was wearing a pink bubble dress, and


    her hair was tied into two little braids. She looked adorable.


    “Floretta?” Angeline was shocked when she looked at the little girl’s face.


    “Angel, help me. Quick.” Floretta tilted her head to look at Angeline with teary and pitiful eyes.


    Horrified, Angeline quickly walked up to the guard and carried Floretta from his arms.


    “Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Angeline asked with concern as she examined Floretta’s body.


    “I’m fine, Angel.”


    “Thank goodness.” Angeline took a deep breath and patted her chest. It’ll be awful if Evander sees this.


    The guard left. Realizing no one was apanying Floretta, Angeline asked seriously, “Can you tell


    me what’s going on now? Did youe here on your own?”


    Floretta stuck out her tongue and said, “Yeah. I sneaked in. I didn’t expect to be noticed. I remember


    the date of yourpetition when I was in Daddy’s office the other day. As your top fan, I muste to


    support you in person!”


    After saying that, she took out a toy trumpet and blew on it forcefully to make a loud sound.


    Angeline couldn’t hold back herughter. She couldn’t get mad at Floretta when she looked at the


    latter. “I’m really grateful for your support, Floretta. But do you know how worried your daddy will be if


    you sneak out like this?”


    She looked at the time on her phone and saw that there was still a little time before the shooting began.


    She patted Floretta’s tiny head and asked gently, “Floretta, let’s go back to your daddy’s office, shall


    we?”


    Floretta was unwilling to leave. She teared up and pleaded, “No… Can I stay and watch your


    performance? Please? It wasn’t easy for me to sneak out, and I even got you a present. Look!” She


    searched through her bag and took out two cartons of strawberry yogurt. “You said you feel happy


    when you drink alcohol, so I got you my favorite yogurt. I hope you’ll always be happy, Angel.”


    Angeline was speechless. I only said that when I was drunk. I didn’t expect Floretta to take it seriously.


    Angeline took the yogurt from Floretta. When she felt the warmth of the yogurt from Floretta’s hand, her


    eyes reddened slightly.


    A child’s innocent feelings are the most sincere. Itforted Angeline from all the grievances she had


    suffered all those while.


    Unable to bring herself to turn her down, Angeline took Floretta for a little tour of the set after sending a


    message to Evander to let him know where Floretta was.


    It’s better for me to tell him where Floretta is before he finds her. Otherwise, he’ll think that I have some


    ulterior motives again.


    Floretta must’ve been kept at home for too long, as she was curious about everything, and Angeline


    had to exin everything to her patiently.


    “Angeline, this is bad!” At that moment, Nancy rushed toward Angeline in a fluster. It was rare, given


    how calm andposed Nancy usually was.


    As she walked over, she stared at Floretta in bewilderment.


    Angeline pushed Floretta behind her back. “It’s fine. She won’t affect me. What happened?” she asked,


    putting on a serious look.


    Nancy lowered her head and handed a document to Angeline. “Bad news. We’ll definitely lose this


    time. This is thetest script given by the director. I looked through it and your screen time has been


    greatly reduced.”


    Hearing that, Angeline immediately flipped through the pages of the script to scan the scenes and lines.


    Her eyes burned with rage as she eximed, “How can this be? Didn’t we have a deal?”


    “He said it was Golding Group’s decision.”


    Angeline gritted her teeth, and her entire body shook with anger as she gripped the script.


    The only person who has the authority to give such an order is none other than Evander! I knew things


    wouldn’t end easily when I scolded himst night in my drunken state.


    Not only were her scenes significantly reduced, but her character’s arc had been changed for the


    worse.


    Denise would y a university student who went to help in the countryside, while Angeline would y


    a butcher who was brought to justice for kidnapping a child out of evil thoughts.


    My fans on Twitter are pretty young. What’s going to happen once a storyline like this is aired? Let’s not


    even talk about winning against Denise right now. Before that even happens, everyone will probably


    curse me on the inte!


    Floretta’s eyes widened. Realizing something, she pulled Angeline’s hand and made Angeline lower


    her body.


    She said in Angeline’s ear angrily, “I’m sure Daddy did this! That cunning man! I’ll call him and get him


    to undo this!”


    With that, she took out her phone from her bag and was about to press the speed dial to call her father


    with her chubby fingers.


    “Floretta, don’t!” Angeline stopped her immediately. Evander hates me from the beginning. If Floretta


    does this and makes things worse, I may even lose the chance topete with Denise.


    Angeline furrowed her eyebrows tightly and massaged her throbbing temples as she tried to calm


    down. However, her mind was already a mess.


    The live stream is less than an hour away…


    Meanwhile, at Golding Group, Evander was going to attend a morning meeting after taking a document


    from his assistant when his phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a call from


    Francesca.


    He knitted his brows and answered the call. “Yes?”


    “M-Mr. Golding, it’s bad. M-Ms. Floretta disappeared when I went to take her food,” Francesca said


    incoherently.


    Evander’s handsome face fell. “How could a living person just disappear like that?”

    “I’m sorry. A pair of her shoes are missing. I-I think she sneaked out again.”


    What? She’s still so young. Where could she possibly run off to?


    Evander was fuming with anger when he hung up the phone. At that moment, he received a notification


    for a new message.
