Chapter 1005
“Annie may not be able to enjoy that life, but I can‘t believe our Angela can!”
“I know, right? I just hope their side will understand.”
“Let‘s all meet up and talk sometime!”
“Okay, but we‘ll have to wait till Angela speaks with Annie tonight! We can go back to Dad‘s for dinner and discuss it
tomorrow.”
Lying dazedly on the couch, Angela could not believe her mother had discovered everything without any prior
‘rehearsal‘. All that was left to do now was to be honest with Annie.
“President Meyers, someone just sent you a dinner invitation.” Daphne‘s assistant said as she prepared to leave the
office.
“What kind of dinner invitation?” Daphne was surprised to see the assistant hand over an invitation card box with
lavish packaging.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor a few seconds, she was stunned as she looked at the words printed on it. It was an invitation to a charity dinner
with a royal theme. This is no ordinary dinner invitation.
SO
u familiar with the person who sent this invitation card?” As she brought the card into the office, she inquired of her
daughter.
Taken aback, Angela took the invitation card from Daphne‘s hand. She then ripped open the girdle, revealing a
handwritten note inside an enveloped card.
“Dear Miss Meyers, The Golden Peony Charity Dinner cordially invites you to join us for our annual dinner
celebration. We eagerly await your arrival and thank you for taking the time to meet with us.” The simple invitation
was signed by a person named Scarlet Husson.
“Mom, this is the name of Richard‘s mother.” Angela gasped with one hand covering her mouth.
Daphne noticed it as well and could not help but ask, “Have you met his mother?”
“I‘ve never seen her,” Angela replied while shaking her head.
“That‘s probably because she knows you‘re Richard‘s girlfriend and specifically invited you to this dinner.”
Has Richard told his mother about me? Why else am I invited?
Daphne looked intently at her daughter as a sense of worry surged within her. She hoped that Angela‘s future
mother–in–law would adore her and generously accept her into the Lloyd Family.
“Angela, show your best self at this dinner party. It‘s possible that this is a test from your future mother–in–law.”
To that, Angela could not help but clench her fists and nod, “I know, Mom.”

She then dialed Richard‘s phone number as she left the reception area.
“Hello,”
“Did you bring up our relationship with your mother?” she inquired, clearly intrigued.
“What‘s the matter?”
“I just received a dinner invitation from your mother and I‘m perplexed.”
“My mother appears to be very eager to meet her future daughter–in–law.” Richard, on the other end of the phone,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas clearly unsurprised becausc he had told his mother at the base that he would bring his girlfriend home.
Angela reluctantly expressed her concern to him, “I had just gotten out of your car when my mother saw me
carrying a bouquet of flowers! When she asked about our relationship, I told her
everything. Now, I‘ll have to spill all the beans to everyone in my family.”
“I‘ll do it,” he uttered quietly as if he was willing to withstand all blame and criticism by himself.
However, she flatly refused. “You are not allowed to speak. I was the one who got it all started. I owe my family an
apology.”
“I don‘t want you to get hurt.”
“They are my family. They‘ll never hurt me and I only hope to receive their blessings. Don‘t worry, I‘m going to be
fine,” promised Angela.
Richard wanted to protect her from being hurt and criticized, but she had the same thoughts–no matter how
serious the mistake was, she would take on all of it and never involve him.
It was the evening and Angela had invited Annie out to dinner. Coincidentally, Annie was also getting ready for a trip
and she gladly agreed to accompany her.
At around 5.00PM, Angela drove to pick up Annie, who emerged in a casual outfit as she opened the door of the
passenger seat and smiled. “Angela, my luggage is all packed. I‘ve already booked a flight and I will be leaving in
two days.”
