Chapter 452:

With a somewhat awkward cough, Nathaniel patted Rhys on the shoulder.

“Carry on then.

Good luck,” he said, retreating with a meaningful grin.

Turning back, Rhys found Harlee at the bottom of the staircase, her arms folded, a playful smirk on her lips.

“Could you make some of that spaghetti you brag about?”

Rhys’ lips curled into a doting and resigned smile.

“Alright, I’ll get on it.”

Meanwhile, despite the now-bankrupt Hilton family, Angela had cleverly broken free from Rolland’s tight grip. She had not only entered but also clinched the top prize at the national piano competition held by the National Pianist Association.

In Baythorn’s elite group chat, the conversation buzzed.

“Angela has really suffered a lot due to her family. I heard her father was hell-bent on keeping her from joining the competition.”

“I had the pleasure of attending her performance.

Her music seemed to have a healing power.”

“Honestly, Angela is in a league of her own.”

“Had you heard that rendition of Beethoven’s Fifth? That’s no easy feat!”

“Indeed, impressive as that was, Angela just outshone everyone. Speaking of which, did you hear? Angela is now engaged to Wade Brooks.”

“Wade? Wasn’t he engaged to Lindsay?”

“It turns out Angela and Wade had too much to drink on a cruise and ended up together.

A month later, Angela discovered she was pregnant.

Following a whirlwind of drama, the Morgans called off Wade’s engagement to Lindsay.”

“Is that so? When’s the engagement party?”

“Tomorrow.

After her win at the piano competition, she’s certainly secured her place in the Brooks family.”

Just then, Lindsay chimed in, “Tomorrow marks Angela’s engagement celebration. Let’s all extend our best wishes for her happy future.”

Immediately, the chat overflowed with messages saying, “Congratulations on your engagement, Angela!” In Wade’s room, Angela watched the flurry of congratulatory texts scroll by on her phone, a smile of satisfaction curling her lips.

Then, a private message from Lindsay popped up.

“Remember your promise.

Fail to keep it, and I’ll defeat you as swiftly as you climbed!”

Bang! In a burst of anger, Angela slammed her phone against the floor, her gaze fixed downward as tears began to well in her eyes, her face contorted with rage.

Soon after, Angela hesitantly picked up her phone, replying to Lindsay’s message with forced politeness. This was because Wade was someone Lindsay had discarded and was now passing on to Angela.

Over a month earlier, Lindsay had found Angela, whose face was disfigured by signs of domestic violence. Lindsay tossed a bundle of cash at Angela’s feet, looking down at her with disgust.
