Second Marriage to Mr. Rich novel Chapter 228

"I think Ingrid might be trying to get Simon to help Fletcher Corporation through its troubles!" Danny said.

"I plan to stir things up tonight. Do you want to come and add to the fun? Simon admires you even without knowing you're the founder of Vitality Biotech. If he finds out, who knows, he might pursue you. It could be a chance for Xavier and Yasmine to obtain a stepdad!"

"Do you want me to file a complaint to Heather?" Angeline asked.

"My bad, my bad! I was wrong!"

Danny quickly backed down.

"So, are you coming tonight?"

"I might," Angeline said.

"But let's not mention the founder thing to anyone."

"Got it! Simon will be thrilled to know you're joining us tonight."

After hanging up, Angeline checked her watch. She needed to hurry to Eddie's studio.

She changed her clothes and drove to the suburban location of Eddie's studio. As she parked, she unexpectedly encountered Ingrid and her agent, Linda.

"Angeline!"

Ingrid was surprised to see Angeline here. She found her palms sweating as she remembered what Tommy had said about Angeline gambling with him at the casino.

Ingrid clenched her fists, turned to Linda, and said, "Wait for me here, Linda."

Ingrid quickly approached Angeline. She blocked Angeline's path, her eyes red.

"Angeline, did you gamble with Tommy at the casino because of what happened to your sister in the past?"

Angeline looked at Ingrid, who was obstructing her way, and smiled faintly.

"Yes, but what does it matter if Tommy loses? Ned enjoys cleaning up after him."

Ingrid clutched the hem of her dress tightly.

"Can you tell me the truth? If your children are truly Ned's, you have to tell me. I've been without parents since I was little, and if..."

Ingrid's voice choked up.

"How interesting. All of you seem so eager for my children to be Ned's. You can't stop asking me this," Angeline chuckled softly.

"My children's biological father is not Ned. I've explained this many times. If you're still worried after marrying Ned, I can give you a strand of hair from my child for a paternity test then. Will you let me pass now?"

Ingrid stepped aside, watching Angeline enter the compound.

Linda stood next to Ingrid with her arms crossed. She glanced at Angeline's car and then at Angeline's retreating figure and the bag in her hand.

"What's Angeline doing at Mr. Reynold's studio? Could she also be buying porcelain? Can she even afford his work?"
