Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 118

Just then, the doorbell rang.

When Angeline heard it, she thought that Tanisha had forgotten her hotel room card. She went to open the door, still clutching the materials that she had yet to categorize. She was about to speak but the words stuck in her throat.

Gregory was standing outside the door with Ned. He said rather apologetically, "My cousin came all the way here. He said he has something to say to you, so I…"

Ned had told Gregory that he had something very important to tell Angeline. Gregory had wondered if his scumbag cousin finally had some conscience and was there to pursue his wife.

If that were the case, Angeline's baby would have a father. That was why Gregory had brought Ned over.

"I don't think I have anything to say to Mr. Fletcher," Angeline replied and immediately closed the door, her expression cold.

"Wait!" Ned stepped up to block the door from closing. "Angeline, don't force me to threaten you."

"Haven't you threatened me enough?" Angeline's voice was filled with intense hostility. "What are you going to threaten me about this time?"

Anger surged within Gregory when he heard that. He grabbed Ned's arm. "Ned, that's not what you told me just now!"

"Let me talk inside." Ned continued staring at Angeline. "I won't take up much of your time."

Seeing that Angeline had no intention of letting him in, Ned asked, "Do you want me to keep pestering you during the conference?"

Angeline raised her eyebrows. "Say whatever you have to say here. I don't want to be with you in an enclosed space."

Ned didn't insist. He turned and said to Gregory, "You can go. I'll meet you after I finish talking to her."

Gregory looked at Angeline, waiting for her opinion.

When she nodded, Gregory cast his gaze upon Ned warily and said, "I'll be standing somewhere nearby. You'll be within my sight, but I won't interfere with your conversation."

Then Gregory glared at Ned before walking toward the end of the corridor.

"There's something that may not mean anything to you but is very important to Ingrid. That's why I came to meet you…"

"The endorsement of Norwalk Corporation?" Raising her eyebrows, Angeline flashed a cold smile as she interrupted him, "Let me guess. Seven years ago, someone's life was saved in Ica. That would mean that she had no right to take part in the competition as a representative of Oceanford College."

Ned hadn't expected Angeline to know about it already. Wasting no time, he continued, "You're not a celebrity, and you don't need this opportunity, but this is an endorsement that suits Ingrid very well. Ingrid will give you all the endorsement fees, and I'll compensate you as well. Ingrid's manager will pay a separate sum of money to you too! All we need is for you to remain silent."

Seeing that Angeline was just looking at him silently, he added, "You don't need to do anything, and you can earn money. Why not?"

"How much are you giving this time, Mr. Fletcher? What about Ms. Dalton's manager? How much are the endorsement fees?"

Ned thought that she had agreed, so he said, "The endorsement fees are 20 million dollars. I'll add on five million, and I'm sure Ms. Dalton's manager won't give a lesser amount than me." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Of course. You can always do more for Ms. Dalton." Angeline's eyes were calm. "However, I don't need any of that!"

"What do you mean?" he questioned.
