Angela took a deep breath. “He's going to get it fromif | see him again.” “Angela, you deserve someone better. You're prettier and more capable than | am. You're going to take over the company in the future as the charismatic president.” Annie laid out her genuine thoughts.

Angela stared at her sister. Due to the sincere bond they mutually shared, never once had she thought of putting Annie in harm's way. That was why she forsaked every chance she had by backing off when it cto her relationship with Richard.
After completing his mission, Richard had made up his mind to keep his grandfather company for a while at Lloyd Residence. There was a week for him to spend twith his family before undertaking his next mission.

The old man was on the brink of flipping out, but his attention was diverted to Richard's confession. “Oh? Who is it?” “Not now. I'll tell you sother day.” “Don’t you dare pull a trick on me. | won't let you off if it's a lie.” “Grandpa, please inform Meyers Family about it in my stead. | will send my apology to them.” Needless to say. Phillip would not permit Richard to do that since he was the one forcing the engagement on him in the first place.

He then patted Richard's shoulder. ‘A week later, bring over the girl you like. | would like to have a meal with her.” Richard took a few seconds to ponder over it. “Okay, I'll do my best to persuade her.” That night, everyone was notified to have dinner at Meyers Residence.

“Yeah. Ann is just down on her luck.” As the mother, Jennifer was a little resentful about the outcas she had been looking forward to her daughter's marriage.
Hearing that, Daphne piped out as her sister-in-law, “Jennifer, look at the bright side. Ann is still young and pretty. She'll find herself a good match sooner or later.
Think about it-no matter how outstanding of a person Richard is, he has to be away from hoften for his missions. Ann might live a widow-like life after marrying him. She's better off being single.”
