Angela sensed his emotions and leaned forward from the passenger seat to kiss his lips. This was a very effective move and the manâs eyes were instantly sprinkled with joy. With a smile, he said, Iâm all ears!â
She nodded before explaining, âLast night. | received a call from Dexter, a jerk who wanted to extort five million from me by threatening to spread my old photos. | intended to have the police assist me in apprehending and prosecuting him. Who knew he would change the location at the very last minute? Iâm afraid of looking like a fool if | call the cops, so please help me to catch him.
Angela looked at Richardâs face after she finished speaking. He was gritting his teeth and his piercing gaze indicated that he wanted to tear Dexter apart after catching him.
âWith what photos did he threaten you?â His eyes glowed with rage.
âIt's just some of my old photos. He intended to photoshop them into some obscene content and post them on the Internet,â she exclaimed angrily.
He assumed Dexter was a scumbag who deceived her feelings, but Richard greatly underestimated Dexterâs ability to do evil.
âWhere is he now? Richard gritted his teeth.
âStay calm. Those photos arenât explicit. Let's cool down and we'll catch him now,â she assured, her heart tensed as she looked at his gloomy handsome face.
âShow me the address.â He reached for her phone, which she handed to him. He then looked down to double-check the address before launching the navigation. system.
Angela secretly examined the man next to her several times, only to notice that his handsome face was tense, his eyes were narrowed, and he was suppressing his anger. Her heart was warm as she looked at her furious man, who was about to avenge her.
It feels great to be protected.
At this point, Dexter had arrived earlier than expected in another park. He looked around nervously while keeping an eye on the time, carefully observing everyone who passed by.
To his credit, he had nice facial features, a handsome face, and a nice fashion sense, but he still came across as a scumbag.
His finances were tight right now and he was depressed as a result of his large expenses. He was already in a lot of debt, so he was forced to commit crimes to get money under the urging of multiple creditors.
He learned that Angela had now taken over her motherâs company and would soon have the wealth of a publicly traded company. He was desperate for the money and would go to any length to obtain it.
He now deeply regretted flirting with another woman on the plane and failing to return as an honest man. Had he not done that, Angela would not have. discovered his true colors.
After all, she had put her faith in him during his time abroad. She even called him two days before his flight, pleading with him not to get engaged because she loved him. He believed he had her in his grasp.
As the events unfolded, he was not sure what went wrong as Angela found out about his one-night stand with another woman.
The perfect character he had been playing for three years shattered in an instant.
For the last three years, he did not dare to touch her in order to gain her trust, since he had slept with too many women and had STDs. To appear as a pure lover, he refused to touch his own girlfriend. He was extremely regretful for not doing so now that he thought about it.
As Dexter was feeling worried, he noticed. a familiar figure approaching. It was a young lady dressed in a blue woolen coat and windbreaker with her long hair down. She was wearing sunglasses and exuded an elegant and noble air. Angela is here.
At that moment, his heart was racing like crazy. She captivated him not only because of her vast financial resources, but also because of her stunning appearance and perfect figure.
Despite being exposed for what he was, he still believed Angela would forgive him and that she might still love him after all.
âYou've arrived, Angela.â Dexter took a confident step forward with excitement. He even dressed up spectacularly today, wearing clothes she had bought for him.
âDonât come near me,â she reprimanded coldly, standing three feet away from the scumbag.
Her voice was full of disgust and annoyance.
Dexter's smile froze and he nervously tightened his fists. âI apologize, Angela. Iâm sorry for hurting you this way. Iâm deeply in debt and my motherâs health is failing. Furthermore, Iâm struggling to afford a meal right now. I've been consumed by grief ever since your departure and | have no plans to work... Angela, please forgive me...â
This was all an act in an attempt to pull her heartstrings and gain sympathy from her.
She looked at him as if he were a disgusting fly. Behind the sunglasses, her delicate face was expressionless like a beautiful sculpture.
âAre you done with your act? Now, delete all of my photos from your phone,â instructed Angela.
â| canât get you out of my mind, Angela. | love you the most. If it isnât for my limited funds, | wonât have to hurt you like this. Donât worry; if | earn money in the future, | will definitely give it back to you.â He sighed.
âHow dare you ask me for five million?â she questioned with a sneer.
âAngela, you canât be this ungrateful. When I was abroad, | treated you as if Iâm a servant by listening to your words and taking good care of you. Did you forget?â
His face darkened as he inquired.
âItâs a shame. You signed up for it.â She coldly snorted.
âYou... Angela, how could you treat me like this after all that weâve been through?â His face turned red with rage.
âWeren't you just blackmailing me ten seconds ago?â She sniggered.
Dexterâs expression changed when he realized Angela was uninterested in mending things with him. Not wanting to waste his effort, he sneered, âItâs not my fault that your family is so wealthy. | won't let my efforts over the years go unnoticed. You will never get rid of me without five million.â
