《Second Marriage to Mr. Rich》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

Angeline was awakened by the sound of water running in the bathroom.The blackout curtains in the hotel obscured the light, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was day or night.Feeling a splitting headache, she instinctively wanted to press her temples, but her arms were so sore that she couldn't lift them.Not just her arms, but her whole body ached terribly, especially near her pubic area.Sean!A thunderous explosion echoed in her mind.She sat up abruptly. Her blood turned cold.Clutching the duvet tightly against her chest, Angeline gazed at the down jacket that was still damp on the floor. Other than the down jacket, a shirt, trousers, sweater, and her jeans were scattered on the floor. The scenes from the night before played in her mind like a movie.She wondered what she had done.Angeline's face was drained of color.Sean was the adoptive son of the Lawson family, her biological mother's brother in name.She didn't want anything to do with the Lawson fam

Angeline thanked Taylor as she got into the car.She borrowed a charging cable from him and finally got her phone charged.Upon turning it on, she saw over 60 missed calls. Except for two missed calls from Anne, the others were from the same number.It was Ned.Angeline tightly gripped her phone and wondered about Ned's intention for making multiple calls.Was it because he had found out she hadn't slept with the man in the room he had arranged for her? Or because he had found out she wasn't with Zachary?Whatever the reason was, it couldn't be out of concern.Angeline smiled self-mockingly and dialed Anne's number."Angie!" Anne sounded excited when she answered the call, but she still spoke in a hushed tone."Angie, the police said everything's cleared up, and Ms. Dalton said there's no need for any compensation. I've been released. I'm at the hotel arranged by the production team now.""Which hotel are you at? I'll come over now," Angeline said.Feeling anxious that the E

Angeline intentionally recorded the conversation. After controlling her emotions, she calmly spoke."You're truly shameless to say such things. My mom originally had a happy family, but you people abducted her to Emmerson Village. You didn't give her clothes, fed her only once a day, chained her up in the cellar, and beat and scolded her because you were afraid she would run away."You had even broken her leg. Do you take this as treating her well? She was brought to your house at the age of 16 and started having children after that. You people would abandon the baby if she gave birth to a girl."After taking a deep breath, Angeline continued, "She gave birth to eight children in 11 years and died alongside the ninth child on the operating table. Is this what you mean by treating her well? Would you say the same if you were treated this way?"Infuriated by her words, Juliet reflexively attempted to crush her with the most vulgar words possible."Y-You filthy slut! As a woman, you'

The Emmersons refused to give up and called again.Angeline decisively blocked their number. She began organizing the pieces of evidence she had left behind against the Emmersons.Meanwhile, the Emmersons were grumbling in the hotel and coming together to curse Angeline."That bitch is just like her useless mom! Shameless scum! All she wants is Benjamin's inheritance!" Juliet seethed with hatred."Benjamin, you must perform well tomorrow on the show. No matter what, you have to get in contact with your grandpa. Don't let that bitch get what's yours!""She's all grown up now. How dare she threaten me with imprisonment? I'm her biological father! I gave her her life! I can take it as I wish!" George's face darkened as he spoke harshly.Jay was how the Emmersons addressed Jessica, Angeline's birth mother.Women abducted to Emmerson Village were simply meant for childbearing, so no one cared what their names were.Upon learning that Angeline's birth mother's name started with the l

Leslie spoke slowly. Even now, she sounded like she was lamenting as she said, "The patient's father also went down on his knees and begged me, saying that if his daughter couldn't survive, he was afraid that his wife wouldn't either."He begged me to save their daughter at all costs. But the patient still couldn't make it after the surgery. Later, I heard that not long after the patient passed away, her mother also followed her to heaven. It's really pitiful."The recording of the conversation stopped here.Ian looked at Benjamin and said, "After our investigation, I'm sorry to tell you that your mom has indeed passed away, as her friend, Ms. York, said. Today, we've invited Benjamin's mother, Jay's friend, to come to the studio. Let's welcome Ms. York to tell us about Jay's story."The staff escorted the emotional Anne onto the stage. As she sat down, she recounted how she and Jessica had escaped from Emmerson Village with Angeline's help.She also described how Jessica had fall
