Chapter 76
Bruno was staying at an apartment in the city. As Angie and Suzette stepped into the apartment, Bruno quickly welcomed them and handed Angie a luxury suite room card.
"Quickly tidy up to meet Mr. Lowe. It was hard for me to persuade him to give you a chance. This is the room card, so you must serve him well, understand? This is the last hope for our family." Bruno said desperately, as if he was grasping the last straw of hope. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Dad, what are you talking about?! I'm already together with Noah. He isn't willing to marry me only because he's deceived by that itch, Madeline! Once he comes back to his senses, he'll definitely remember my kindness. I've been by his side for five whole years, so he must have some feelings for me…"
Angie was still reluctant to face reality. She threw the room card away and fell to the floor. She cried hysterically, and her eyes were bloodshot as if she was going to faint soon.
"Smack!" While Angie was still forcibly trying to convince herself, she was suddenly slapped. It was such a strong slap that it made her feel dizzy.
"Angie, stop dreaming! The person with you that night had not been Noah. Even the released surveillance footage showed it, so how could he still want you?!"
Bruno frowned and glared at Angie in disgust. It was as if the one sitting on the floor was not his own daughter but a slut that had slept with countless people.
"Now take the video released by the Quincy family and meet Mr. Lowe to beg him. Maybe the Grant family still has a chance of survival. At least your performance that day had still been satisfactory."
Bruno could not be bothered to talk nonsense to Angie anymore. He directly grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
"What did you say? Was Jerry the person I was with that night? That chubby idiot?!"
The video previously did not capture the man's face, but his body did seem wider than Noah's. With that, it was clear it was not Noah.
Angie covered her ears and screamed. She could not believe that she did not sleep with Noah even after putting in so much effort. Instead, she was ruined by that bastard.
"Why? Why was Jerry there? He even… Why?!"
Bruno was determined to sell his daughter for the sake of his reputation, so he was indifferent to Angie's crying. He only turned to look at Suzette.
Suzette took a step back and dodged Angie's hand. "Angie, I think what your dad said is right, so you should listen to his arrangements." Suzette's cold voice sounded. Angie stood up trembling and rushed into her room.
One hour later, the news that Angie committed suicide for love had been spread throughout the media.
"Why did the charitable black widow slit her wrist and commit suicide?!"
"The black widow, Angie Grant, has met a dead end after being abandoned!"
The news that Angie had been abandoned by Mr. Quincy previously had only been suppressed. However, there was now news about Angie committing suicide, which caused Facebook to be in a frenzy. It quickly became one of the top three trending searches on Facebook, and its popularity remained stable.
At this moment, Angie was lying on a hospital bed with layers of bandages wrapping around her wrist. In reality, it was only a shallow cut. It could be said that not a single nerve had been damaged.
She did not put on this act of committing suicide only to clear her name.
Bruno glanced at his daughter on the bed, who was pretending to be dead. He did not rest at all and immediately took the surveillance video released by the Quincy family to Jerry.
"Mr. Lowe, the matter that day was a misunderstanding. Angie mistook you for Noah. When she discovered the truth, she felt embarrassed to see you, so she decided to commit suicide. She's still unconscious in the hospital now!"
Bruno played the video several times in a loop in front of Jerry. He spoke eloquently as he made up a crazy story as if Angie had actually committed suicide because of Jerry.
"Is this true?" Jerry had seen the video online previously. After hearing that Angie was even giving up her life for him, he narrowed his eyes in puzzlement and surprise.
Although Angie had a poor personality, she had a beautiful appearance, and her performance in bed was decent. Rich kids like Jerry, who lacked both brains and looks, would like people like her the most.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can go take a look. Angie is still lying in the hospital!" Seeing that there was a chance, Bruno continued acting.
How could Jerry not fall for Bruno's impressive act? He was soon fooled by Bruno's words and said he would take responsibility for Angie. "Tell Angie I've forgiven her and ask her to take care of her body. I'll definitely treat her well in the future."
Bruno was delighted and continued to trick Jerry so he would help the Grant family financially… While Bruno continued fabricating stories, Suzette did not stay idle too. She sat beside the hospital bed,
peeling an apple and brainwashing Angie.
"The Lowe family is considered a reputable family in Imperia, so don't be stubborn. Jerry is an idiot, so as long as you can coax him, you'll be able to get whatever you want in the future."
Angie was stunned by her mother's words, and her dull eyes lit up. She had tried her best to marry Noah only for the honor of being the Quincy family's Young Mistress. Although the Lowe family could not be compared to the Quincy family, it was much better than the Grant Corporation.
Angie was gradually moved, and she nodded in the end. "Mmhm, I'll listen to your arrangements."
Suzette was overjoyed when she heard this. She could not be bothered to continue peeling the apple anymore and quickly got up to tell Bruno the good news. After thinking a little, the two immediately decided to arrange a marriage with the Lowe family.
On the other hand, Madeline finally managed to escape from Noah with such great difficulty that she did not even bring Thomas back. She prepared to return to enjoy some time alone to forget Noah's disgusting actions. However, she did not expect to receive a notification from Facebook before she even arrived back home.
"Heh, commit suicide? She really has a lot of tricks up her sleeve." Madeline sneered and did not believe Angie would be willing to commit suicide.
As she was about to comment and ridicule Angie, she saw people in the comment section talking about Angie and Jerry's engagement and that they were about to get married soon. Madeline scrolled through the page, and news about their engagement soon appeared. Although the news was not popular yet, it was well-founded, so it did not seem fake.
Moreover, someone even posted an explanation that the man who kissed Angie in the video was Jerry. Madeline soon understood why Angie pretended to commit suicide now. She was really clever.
"Let's turn around and go back to the hospital. Angie has found a new target, so let's congratulate her." Madeline turned around and instructed Albert, who came to pick her up.
"Yes, Ms. Madeline."
They soon arrived at the hospital ward. Madeline entered the room while holding a bouquet of white daisies. They had always been her favorite flower, but Angie hated them the most.
"Congratulations, your lifelong dream is about to come true. Although the Lowe family can't be compared to the Quincy family, it's also considered a wealthy family." Madeline put the flowers by Angie's side and congratulated her, but her eyes were filled with coldness.
"What are you saying? Lifelong dream?" Angie did say that she wished to marry into a wealthy family when she was a child, and Madeline was the only one there at that time! How did this woman know about it?
"Besides that, what do you mean by these flowers? Are you deliberately trying to disgust me?" Angie hated the pale white daisies the most! Wait, Madeline also knows that I hate white daisies the most!
"You're Madeline, right? You didn't die!"
Madeline stared at Angie as she went crazy. She only spoke after the room had been messed up. "Angie, you should know who's the one who actually harmed Grandpa, right?"
Madeline got closer to her step by step, and her eyes were icy cold, filled with anger and hatred.
