Chapter 113


    Olivine’s entire being trembled at the sight of him. It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over


    her head, drenching her from head to toe.


    “Are the results out?” she asked, her voice raspy.


    “Yes. I told you, right? There’s nothing I can’t do,” the scarred man replied with a smug grin. He sat


    across from Olivine and drank from her ss.


    After soothing his throat, he put on a solemn expression and began to reveal the results of his


    investigation. “The nurse who delivered Angeline’s baby said she gave the baby to a man named Mr.


    Miller. She was paid five hundred thousand to keep this a secret.”


    After a pause, he added, “If I hadn’t resorted to special means to dig up the truth, the fact that Floretta


    Golding’s birth mother is Angeline Sorelle will forever remain a secret!”


    Floretta’s birth mother is Angeline?


    Olivine slumped in her seat in shock before she could wipe the tears away from her face.


    She gripped the tablecloth so tightly that her body started shivering.


    How can this be? What right does Angeline have to be connected to Evander this way?


    “Ms. Sherrock, since we’ve coborated previously, I shall help you deal with this,” the scarred man


    offered casually as his gaze turned dark.


    “Kill the nurse so she won’t tell anyone the truth!” Olivinemanded as her chest heaved. She


    mmed the table as jealousy eroded her rationality. “I’ll pay you one million if you can get this done!”


    I cannot let Evander find out that Angeline is Floretta’s birth mother. Otherwise, I will never stand a


    chance against her.


    “Deal!”


    After the scarred man left, Olivine’s jealousy intensified. She knew that with her current state, she


    couldn’t defeat Angeline alone and needed someone else to help her.


    Thus, she pulled her phone out to contact Sherrock Group’s PR department. She ordered them to


    inform all subsidiaries of Sherrock Group to withdraw their investment from Sorelle Group.


    That very day, Sorelle Group suffered a huge blow. As a result of the withdrawal of investment, they


    couldn’t continue with theirtest bidding project today. Being forced to pause work for one day meant


    they lost a considerable sum ofbor costs.


    Joseline’s due date was three dayster. She was resting at the hospital and nearly had a miscarriage


    after hearing the news.


    Without hesitation, she rushed to thepany to conduct an emergency meeting.


    The PR department’s manager and other employees hung their heads in silence as she reprimanded


    them.


    “Why did this happen? What did I hire you guys for? What is the cause of all this?”


    The manager felt a chill go down his spine. Carefully, he looked at her and replied, “Calm down. Ms.


    Sorelle. You don’t want to affect your baby, right? ording to our investigation, Sherrock Group was


    the one behind this.”


    Sherrock Group?


    Joseline arched a brow in confusion. “We have never been enemies with Sherrock Group. You should


    at least think things through before you lie to me!”


    “Perhaps you offended her in private and dragged thepany into your feud,” the manager


    comined.


    Realization struck Joseline after she heard the manager’sint. She promptly dismissed everyone


    from the PR department and called someone.


    When the call was connected, Joseline quickly changed her attitude and tone. “Ms. Sherrock, I am


    Joseline Sorelle. It’s been a while since we met for coffee, right?”


    “Cut to the chase,” Olivine responded coolly.


    Despite her dissatisfaction with Olivine’s attitude, Joseline had no choice but to tamp her feelings down


    and ventured, “I’m calling about the withdrawal of investment. Did Angeline offend you recently and


    made you upset? Our family has cut off ties with her, but you can let me know. Perhaps I might be able


    to help you.”


    “You can ask her about it,” Olivine snapped and hung up.


    Stunned by the other woman’s hostility, Joseline got so upset that her belly started wrenching in pain. A


    scowl marred her face.


    She decided to vent her hatred for Olivine on Angeline.

    B*tch! She’s still causing trouble for me even after she left!


    After cursing Angeline, she ordered herpany’s PR department to investigate Angeline’s motive.


    When she learned that Angeline had been searching for her child in secret, a vicious glint appeared in


    her eyes.


    She decided to take this to her advantage.


    In the meantime, Evander and Angeline were in Summerbank and had no idea what happened back


    home. They were oblivious to the new incident that cropped up.


    Angeline had been feeling unwell since the gamemenced in the morning. After taking a few bites


    of her food, she asked the director for a leave of absence and went back to her room to get some rest.


    Concerned, Evander headed to Angeline’s room to take a look at her a few minutester.


    Angeline was curled up in her bed, unconscious while hugging the covers.


    Evander reached out to touch her forehead and was shocked to feel the scalding temperature.


    When he realized she was running a fever, his expression turned grim. A regretful look surfaced in his


    icy gaze.


    I should’ve brought Angeline back ashore when I learned she was afraid of water. Otherwise, she


    wouldn’t be running a fever now.


    Fishing his phone out, he called the doctor arranged by the guesthouse and was about to go and get


    her a ss of water.


    However, as soon as he spun on his heels, Angeline grabbed his arm without warning.


    She was muttering, “D-Don’t kick me out. Mom, I was framed. Please believe me…”


    Evander turned over his shoulder and noticed the pained expression on Angeline’s face. She seemed


    to be having a nightmare as she was trembling all over in fear.


    “My baby. Don’t throw my baby away. I want you. Why, Hanson? The person who betrayed me was


    Joseline.”


    Tears streamed down Angeline’s face as she mumbled under her breath, venting the agony that she


    had been struggling to repress.


    A slight pucker appeared between Evander’s brows. Feeling sorry for her, he reached out to wipe her


    tears away.


    He couldn’t really experience the pain that Angeline was experiencing, but after bing Floretta’s


    father, he could empathize with her torture.


    How much had she suffered in the past that made her feign nonchnce to show that people don’t get


    to her?


    “Mr. Golding.”


    The doctor had arrived.


    Evander regained hisposure and was back to his usual indifferent self.


    When the doctor came in, he ordered, “Take a look at her.”


    The doctor nodded and came over to Angeline with the medical kit. After checking Angeline’s condition,


    he hooked her to an IV drip.


    “Mr. Golding, don’t worry. Ms. Sorelle caught a fever, that’s all. Fortunately, it was discovered in time.


    She’ll recover tomorrow morning after IV therapy and a good night’s rest.”


    “Mm,” Evander grunted in response and rxed slightly.


    He then saw the doctor out of the room.


    As the doctor walked away, Evander was about to return to the room when he received a call from


    Ss.


    It was past midnight in Spaunia, so something urgent must’ve cropped up for Ss to call him at that


    hour.


    Evander answered the call to hear Ss’ grim voice. “Mr. Golding, do you remember the nurse who


    brought Ms. Floretta back from the hospital back then? The one we had a deal with? She drowned in


    the sea at seven tonight.”
