Chapter 252


    Needless to say, Olivine was beyond delighted. Ha! Lady Luck has finally blessed me with the perfect


    opportunity! Even if Evander falls for Angeline again, there''s no way a scandalous woman like her will


    be epted into the prestigious Golding family.


    “No need to get mad, Old Mrs. Golding,” Olivine gentlyforted as she ced her cup down and


    rubbed Valerie''s shoulder.


    “It''s not worth worrying yourself sick over a woman like that. Evander was just blindly infatuated with


    her.”


    Upon hearing those words and realizing Angeline had tainted the Golding family''s reputation, Valerie


    exploded with rage, “What''s wrong with Evander? How could he have fallen for such an atrocious


    woman?”


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “Let''s not me Evander now, Old Mrs. Golding. Our priority is to block the news from getting


    published, especially since some reporter''s have already taken photos of Evander and Angeline


    together.”


    “What?” Valerie eximed as she leaped to her feet, looking absolutely livid. “Which mediapany is


    it? How dare they disrespect the Golding family!”


    A glint instantly shed across Olivine''s eyes.


    “Well, you know how fast news spreads among mediapanies. It''ll be hard to block them all unless


    we can find a way to extricate Evander from this mess.”


    Perceptive as always, Valerie fell silent and began pacing around with the aid of her- walking stick. Of


    course, it didn''t take long before a n came to mind.


    With that, she quickly turned around and held Olivine''s hand.


    “Olivine, you and Evander have known each since you were kids, and I''ve always regarded you as my


    granddaughter-inw. s, it was never made official, and I deeply regret that. It must''ve been tough


    on you.”


    Even though tears had started welling up in Olivine''s eyes, she put on a brave front and shook her


    head understandingly.


    “It''s okay, Old Mrs. Golding. I''m willing to wait for Evander no matter how long it takes.”


    “Air, you''re a good kid,” Valerie said, tenderly patting the young woman''s hand before pulling thetter


    toward herself. “However, you don''t have to wait anymore. I''ll get our butler to arrange a press


    conference and set a wedding date for you and Evander. I''ve checked the calendar before, and the


    fifteenth of next month seems like the perfect day.”


    For a moment, Olivine was so shocked that she didn''t know what to say.


    Oh, my gosh. I have nned on using Old Mrs. Golding''s influence to get close to Evander, but who


    knew she''d do me such a huge favor by deciding on our wedding? She must really hate Angeline to the


    core!


    Despite bubbling over with excitement, Olivine eventually snapped out of her daze and lowered her


    head with a look of feigned coyness.


    “Hmm... But wouldn''t Evander be mad that we didn''t get his opinion?”


    “He nearly brought shame to tire entire Golding family. What right does he have to disobey me?”


    Valerie scoffed.


    I love my grandson a lot, but this time, I have to harden my heart and do what''s best for him and the


    family!


    True enough, even though Valerie usually seemed like the peace-loving matriarch, everyone knew


    better than to defy her orders when she was in a rage.


    Otherwise, how could someone who had merely married into the Golding family have kept the n


    going strong for so many years?


    Now that the tables had beenpletely tinned against Angeline, Olivine was filled with indescribable


    joy.


    I''m d tlrat all the years I spent visiting the Golding residence and cozying up to Old Mrs. Golding


    have not been in vain. Ha... So what if Angeline is good at seducing men? She still lost in tire end!


    Meanwhile, Angeline felt as though she had slept for a century as she continuously wove in and out of


    nightmares.


    It took a lot of effort, but she finally opened her eyes and bolted upright in bed, panting heavily as her


    sweat-soaked clothes clung ufortably to her skin.


    Just then, a bright, chirpy voice rang out beside her. “Angel, are you okay?”


    Angeline instantly looked up, only to see Floretta, with her two pigtails, standing by tire bed. Huh? Am I


    still dreaming, or is this reality?


    “Floretta? Ar en''t you supposed to be at the Golding residence?” she asked suspiciously.


    “Air, thank goodness the fever didn''t turn you silly,” Floretta replied as she felt Angeline''s forehead.


    When the little girl realized thetter''s fever had gone down, she sighed heavily and exined,


    “School''s over, and I pleaded with Franny for ages before she brought me here. You''ve already been


    sleeping for two days, Angel! Youzy piggy!”


    Angeline couldn''t help but frown in confusion. What? I had a fever for two days? Wiry don''t I know''


    anything?


    It wasn''t until she looked up and saw the half-empty IV drip that she finally knew'' she wasn''t dreaming.


    Feeling utterly helpless, she held up her hands and massaged her throbbing temples.


    I can''t believe it''s been two days... How''s Sebastian doing, then?


    Unable to calm her anxious droughts, Angeline promptly tried to remove the IV needle.


    “No, Angel!” Floretta said sternly as she shot a hand out to stop the young woman. “Daddy said you


    can''t leave until you''ve finished your IV treatment and has also instructed me to stay with you at all


    times.”


    Undeterred, Angeline gazed at her little nurse and gently pleaded, “Don''t worry. I''ll be fine. Sebastian,


    however, needs to be cared for. I have to go to him.”


    “No!” Floretta replied firmly. “That can wait.”


    Angeline sighed. I bet Evander must''ve taught her to say that. With that determined look and confident


    posture, she does bear a striking resemnce to him.


    Before she could say anything else, Francesca entered the room with a bowl of stew and walked to the


    bed. “That''s right, Ms. Sorelle. There''s no hurry.” After using a thermometer to take Angeline''s


    temperature, she added, “The fever''s finally gone down.


    You haven''t eaten in two days, so I brought you some food.”


    “Thank you,” Angeline said gratefully as she epted the stew and began stirring it mindlessly. “So,


    did anything happen when I was unconscious?”


    Knowing what worried Angeline the most, Francesca instantly curled her lips into a smile.


    “Don''t worry, Ms. Sorelle. Mr. Sebastian is safe and doing well. Mr. Golding sent him to a psychiatrist


    and persuaded him to undergo treatment. From what I heard, his condition has improved a lot.”


    Angeline heaved a sigh of relief and took a sip of her stew. “I''m very grateful for his help.”


    As long as Evander''s in charge, I know I can always trust him to do the right thing.


    Sadly, given that she had only just recovered, Angeline didn''t have much appetite, nor could she taste


    her food very well. Nevertheless, she knew'' she had to regain her strength for Sebastian, so she forced


    herself to finish the stew.


    As soon as she was done eating and felt a little better, she gazed fondly at Floretta, who was sitting


    quietly beside the bed and drawing away.


    I''ve been so busy recently that Ipletely neglected her. Would she me me for it?


    The next second, Angeline got out of bed and sauntered to Floretta''s table. Not wanting to disturb the


    little girl, she leaned forward and grabbed her phone.


    Well, I''m sure my public admission of having given birth before has sent the inte into a tizzy. I can


    already picture the amount of news I''d be inundated with.
