"Good!" said Mark, nodding with a smile.

He then put on his gloves and carefully placed the item into the brocade box.

"I'll see you out," Eddie said to Angeline, who replied, “Alright!”

She took the brocade box from Mark and thanked him before walking out with Eddie.

Eddie added, "Now that you're back in Krontos, you must visit and play a game of chess with me when you have the time! I can’t forget how you tricked me into the hospital with chess. It's the reason I'm still alive today."

"Well, it's because you were willing to trust me."

Eddie left only when he had escorted Angeline to the parking lot.

Angeline noticed Linda storm toward her after carefully placing the porcelain in the trunk and closing the door. Ingrid chased behind her, shouting, "Linda, stop it!"

When Linda saw Angeline, she raised her hand, about to deliver a slap.

With an eyebrow raised, Angeline swiftly grabbed Linda's wrist and slapped her across the face instead. She then kicked Linda in the torso, causing her to fall to the ground while clutching her stomach tightly.

"How dare you bully people like this, Angeline?"

Angeline looked down at Linda condescendingly, retrieved a handkerchief from her pocket. and wiped her hands, replying, "Funny. I'm simply standing here minding my business, and you come over wanting to attack me without a word. Who's the bully here?"

"Linda!" Ingrid screamed as she rushed to help her manager up.

"Did you tell Mr. Reynolds to stop doing business with us?” Linda questioned while pointing at Angeline.

"Did you sleep with Mr. Reynolds? Otherwise, why does he listen to everything you say?"

"Linda, stop talking nonsense!” said Ingrid from the side, her eyes red again.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"How does she know that Simon has returned to the country?”

‘Oh no! Angie must be angry now. >. She will tell Simon that it wasn't me who saved him back then, but her! If SO, how will I help Ned or theYates family now?"

"How dare she bully Ingrid and slap me? 'll ensure she gets twice the pain!" she vowed inwardly.

"Let's go first. Choosing a gift for Simon is time-sensitive,” said Linda, reaching back to help Ingrid, who was still crying, into the car.
