Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 82

Angeline instantly locked her phone screen. Her heart was pounding heavily.

She recalled the bruises she saw on Henrietta’s wrists when she fell asleep on the dining table. However, she found no other wounds on Henrietta when she checked. So, Angeline assumed that the bruises on her wrists were by accident.

Henrietta had returned home early with her shoes wet the other day.

Yesterday afternoon, Henrietta’s eyes gleamed with hope and joy when Angeline had picked her up for lunch. She was overjoyed to be transferred to a new school and was confident that life would improve for them.

Angeline finally realized Henrietta wasn’t happy because she transferred to Cloudsville High School. Instead, she was simply relieved she could finally attend a new school.

Roaring waves of fury washed through Angeline. Her heart ached, but she couldn’t stop it.

She should’ve been more attentive and learned that Henrietta had been bullied in River Town

High School.

“I’m fine,” Angeline muttered, forcing a smile before she sat down and ate with her labmates.

Her phone, clutched tightly in her hands, buzzed again. It was a message from Henrietta. She reminded Angeline to take her lunch as well with a cute emoji.

Feeling more at ease, she was relieved that she had transferred Henrietta to a new school.

If Henrietta was hesitant to pursue the matter, Angeline would help her overcome her trauma in a new environment.

However, if she was resilient enough to seek justice for the bullying she endured, Angeline. was more than willing to back her up. She would assist Henrietta in pressing charges against them, even going as far as sending them to jail.

Nevertheless, Angeline wondered who had been texting her.

She messaged the person for inquiry, and the response came quickly. The unknown person told her to add their contact on WhatsApp.

Angeline realized it was Tommy once she added his contact.

Shortly after, he sent her a video. The photo he sent her before was evidently a screenshot from this video.

Angeline sprang to her feet.

“Angie, aren’t you going to eat more?” Marion asked, looking up at her.

“I’m full. I feel like going outside to get some sun.

Angeline sat on the bench under the laboratory building. She decreased the volume of her phone and braced herself before tapping on the video to play.

In the video, a group of people smacked Henrietta’s face with shoes wrapped in towels. Henrietta cried in fear, yet the group of demons cackled. They gave her a chance to call for help, yet no sound came from her when she opened her lips.

She could only kneel and beg for their mercy.

Tears streamed down Angeline’s cheeks as she covered her mouth tightly.

Tommy: “Do you want to see something even more exciting?”

Initially, Angeline wanted to call him. However, she suppressed her agony. She needed

evidence.

Angeline: “Did you instruct them to do this?”

Tommy: “Aren’t you very tough? The adopted son of Lawson Global is backing you up, isn’t it? If I can’t do anything to you, that doesn’t mean I can’t take it out on a little mute girl.”

When she texted him again, she realized he had blocked her. She took screenshots of their conversation and got up.

Pacing back and forth in the corridor, she tried to gather her thoughts. Her priority was Henrietta’s safety. Fortunately, she had already been transferred to a new school.

She texted Henrietta and suggested having a fancy dinner out tonight.

Henrietta’s response came swiftly. The emojis she sent clearly expressed how excited she was.

Feeling relieved, Angeline returned to the lab again.

At 5:40 pm, Marion received a call while organizing the data. She appeared to be stunned. She stood up and spun around to look at Angeline, who stood before the acrylic glove box, mixing chemicals in front of the video recorder.
