NovelOnlineChapter 231
The commotion outside abruptly ceased, and everyone turned their heads in astonishment as Angela stepped
forward from the back.
"Well, if it isn't the legendary Mrs. Bamford? What's this? Instead of staying quietly in your corner, you've
decided to meddle in other people's business?"
The woman speaking was someone Angela recognized-Olivia Quimby, who used to tag along with Elena. She had
striking features, was dressed head to toe
in high-end brands, and exuded the air of a wealthy heiress.
Beside her stood two other women Angela didn't know, but their expression mirrored hers-haughty, arrogant,
and dismissive of everyone else.
"That's right. | am meddling," Angela said coolly, pulling out her phone and aiming the camera at Olivia's face. "If
you don't cto your senses, Ms. Quimby, I'll capture this ugly side of yours and project it on the big screen for
everyone to see."
Olivia's face darkened instantly. She glared at Angela, her eyes brimming with fury.

forgotten those years you spent groveling? You were the most notorious lapdog in all of Eldmere City! And now
you have the nerve to lecture me?"
Angela let out a quiet sigh. "Being a lapdog is indeed disgraceful. That's why I've learned my lesson. You'd do
well to learn yours too. Oh, but wait-you're not just a lapdog, you're a mistress."
Before the words had left her lips, Olivia's anger exploded. "You wretch! How dare you insult me?"
Angela's expression turned frosty. She stepped forward and slapped Olivia hard across the face. "Now that's an
insult. Learn the difference."
The slap landed heavily, making Olivia's face turn to the side forcefully. A vivid red mark formed there instantly,
stark and undeniable.
"You hit me? You dare resort to violence here? This is the Jewell residence! Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"
The women beside Olivia were stunned and instinctively stepped back as if they were afraid of being dragged
into the chaos.
Angela dusted off her hands as though she were brushing away invisible dirt.
Her voice remained calm as she replied, "Why would | be afraid? This was merely an act of justice. You have the
audacity to bully even the host's guests—I'd say you're the ones who have lost all sense of fear. If you're not
afraid, then why should | be?"
Olivia's face contorted with rage. She glared at Angela, her teeth clenched, looking as if she wanted
more than to strangle the
latter on the spot.
"Olivia, let's just go. If someone sees us, it'll be over for us."
"Yes, let's leave. It's getting late anyway."
The two women's voices were meek, as though they feared Olivia would stir up even more trouble.
"You-you wretch! Just wait!" Olivia shot Angela one last vicious glare before slinking away in disgrace.
Angela watched them retreat, then called out lazily, "I'll be waiting anytime."
With that, she paused the recording on her phone and sent it directly to Zayn. "Ms. Graham, thank you so much
just now."
Mia approached Angela. The gratitude was evident in her expression. "If not for you, | might have..."
"It was nothing." Angela turned to leave. "There's no need to thank me, especially since | didn't do it for you."
Something about Mia seemed off. Angela couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her than met the

From her experience, she could tell Mia didn't seem like someone who could be easily pushed around. Yet in front
of those loud, overbearing women, she had appeared utterly helpless. That discrepancy atone was suspicious.
"Regardless, I'm still grateful for today." Mia quickly followed her.
Her white gown shimmered under the interplay of moonlight and chandelier glow, making her look like a
princess who had stepped out of a fairytale. She was elegant and breathtaking.
But as she looked at Angela, there was something else in her eyes-an unmistakable mix of admiration and
ingratiation.
