Chapter 144


    “I have money. It’s enough for us to spend.” Angeline chuckled and ced the card in the car before


    shutting the door and waving Evander goodbye.


    The man did not bother wasting his breath arguing over it. Hence, he nodded at her and drove away.


    Angeline’s lips were pursed tightly as she watched his car disappear from her sight. No matter how


    desperate she was, she would never ept Evander’s card.


    After all, she was always misunderstood for approaching Evander because of money. If she epted


    the card, it would make things difficult for her when they broke up.


    With that, she stepped into the building and took the elevator to go to the third floor. That was where all


    the luxury brands’ stores were.


    Soon, she arrived at a jewelry store. After reading the signboard and making sure she was at the right


    store, she strode into the area.


    Just then, the staff who was standing at the door approached and greeted respectfully, “Wee!”


    “Hello.” Angeline smiled. With that, she scanned every piece of jewelry behind the ss disy but did


    not find what she wanted.


    Noticing Angeline’s furrowed brows, the staff hurriedly reminded, “Miss, you can also tell me what kind


    of jewelry you’re looking for, so I can rmend some to you.”


    Thus, Angeline took out the men’s ring given by Hanson and handed it to the staff. “This is from your


    store, isn’t it? Is there a ring of the same design?”


    The staff took the ring and discussed it with a few colleagues before answering her politely, “I’m really


    sorry, miss. This is a limited edition ring from six years ago. Back then, ourpany invited a famous


    designer from Marsingfill to design three special pieces of jewelry for ourpany. There was only one


    piece for each design. Perhaps you can take a look at the others in our store.”


    Angeline was delighted to hear that. If there were only one piece of jewelry for each design, then her


    chances of looking for the person would be greater.


    “I see. Could you look up the owner of this ring? I found it on the road, and I’m worried the owner might


    panic.”


    The staff hurriedly nodded, gazing at her with admiration. “Of course, but I’m afraid it’ll take some time


    because I’ll have to send the ring back to our headquarters to get it checked.”


    “It’s fine. Time is not a problem.”


    Angeline pursed her lips as hatred shed past her eyes. Indeed, time was not a problem. Finding out


    who the monster was from back then was the only thing that mattered.


    Angeline had no assistants by her side when she exited the jewelry store. Hence, she left the building


    right away to avoid attracting attention.


    After finding a deserted spot, she pulled out her phone and dialed a familiar number.

    “Ms. Yandell, would you care for a meal with your artist? Are there any jobs these days? Bing


    popr isn’t important. Anything’s fine as long as I get to earn some money.”


    Nancy teased, “Wow, you’re finally contacting me. I thought you were busy dating these days.”


    “Tsk. Nonsense. Men aren’t as important as money.”


    Nancy rolled her eyes and purposely raised her voice when she said, “Don’t be such a showoff. Your


    man isn’t an ordinary person, anyway. Then again, if you want to earn an ie with your capabilities,


    there is apany that recently invited you to help with their livemerce.”


    Hearing that, Angeline frowned. “A live stream?”


    “Yes. The eleven-eleven sale is in three days. Since it’s a national online shopping day, so all the major


    companies are looking for hosts to hold their livemerce. It’s a little degrading, but the job pays an


    eight-figure sry. It can even increase your work performance.”


    In the inte age, live streams had be a form of entertainment for the elderly. On top of that, the


    live streaming and entertainment industries were slowly integrating. Many major celebrities often


    appeared on official live-streaming tforms to help out with their livemerce.


    However, the offer seemed a little too good to be true.


    “But…” Nancy drawled, sounding hesitant. “Thepany that invited us to host the livemerce is


    Hanson’s branchpany. Considering your rtionship with him, I don’t mind declining it if you don’t


    want to go.”


    Angeline’s expression turned grim when she heard that, and she could not help but wonder what


    Hanson was up to.


    Has he forgotten the lesson Evander taught him yesterday?


    “It’s okay. You can just forget about it. I’ll call them to decline the offer.”


    “No, it’s fine. I’ll take it,” said Angeline. Though she did not know what Hanson’s motive was, there was


    no reason for her to reject a job worth eight figures. All she needed to do was talk.


    I won’t necessarily bump into him during the job, anyway. Besides, I heard Joseline is still resting from


    giving birth. I can’t miss the opportunity of infuriating her if I meet him.


    With that, Angeline asked Nancy to get her a driver to send her home.


    Meanwhile, a heated argument had broken out among the Yiurk family over the eleven-eleven sale


    contract.


    Joseline stood in the living room while gripping the contract Hanson had just taken out of his bag. Her


    entire body was shaking with rage as she questioned, “Hanson, don’t you know Forrester Group is


    established by the Yiurk and the Sorelle family? Besides, you know Angeline has been eyeing the


    company’s shares. Hasn’t it crossed your mind that this contract is basically giving her a chance to


    infiltrate ourpany?”


    With a calm expression, Hanson sat on the couch and took a sip of his coffee before asking inly,


    “You were the one managing Forrester Group back then, right?”


    “Yes. Is there something wrong?” Joseline felt panic rise in her heart at the sudden question.


    ng! Hanson suddenly mmed the coffee cup on the table. His expression turned as dark as


    thunder, and he chided, “I’ve asked Shay to check the sales performance report, and it seems that


    Forrester Group has been facing losses for the past few years. Even Yiurk Group has lost several


    million, too. What have you been doing?”


    Joseline shuddered at his words, and guilt shed past her eyes.


    Suddenly, an idea came to her. She feigned an innocent expression and went to Hanson’s back to give


    him a shoulder massage while saying piteously, “Hanson, I’ve been busy for the past few years. That’s


    why I didn’t have time to manage Forrester Group. You can’t hire Angeline just to vent your anger—”


    “Looks like you’ve underestimated Angeline’s influence. She’s the most suitable candidate for this


    event. Have you been faking your friendship with her all this time?” Hanson grabbed her arm and


    pulled her forward violently, casting her a mocking nce.


    “I-I…”


    His stares made Joseline panic. Thus, she knitted her brows and gazed at him in disbelief. “Hanson,


    we’re a married couple, and our son was born not long ago. How could you doubt me already?”


    At the mention of their son, Hanson’s face contorted with rage. His gaze became even more piercing,


    as if he wanted to tear Joseline’s pretentious mask apart.


    “From today onward, Forrester Group will be managed by Yiurk Group. If you’re not happy about it, you


    can withdraw your shares!”


    With that, Hanson shoved Joseline aside, stuffed the contract into his bag, and stormed off without


    bothering to see if she was fine.


    At the same time, the sound of the baby crying came from upstairs. However, it only made Hanson find


    the situation more ironic. He clenched his fists and furrowed his brows in frustration.
