Chapter 994
“Ann.” Angela called Annie‘s name out of concern.
“Angela… T–The engagement is canceled. Richard called off our engagement. H–He says that he likes another
woman.” Annie sobbed in dejection upon recounting that.
“Where are you? I‘ll come to you,” questioned Angela in a gentle voice.
“I‘ll send you the location.” Annie just needed someone to confide in. She sent the location to Angela as soon as she
terminated the call.
Angela informed her mother before hitting the road by car toward the coffee shop. By the time she found Annie,
the jilted woman was sitting right there with puffy eyes and a long face
Angela sat next to her and gave her a hug. At that moment, Annie threw herself into her embrace as tears trickled
down her cheeks again.

late.”
“Angela, I wonder what kind of girl a rigid man like him left me for. She must be an amazing and beautiful person to
have won his heart.” The sorrow in Annie was laced with crumbs of frustration nonetheless.
Angela held her tongue for a moment before offering some comforting words. “Let‘s not think about that. Just let
him be! You‘re not bad yourself.”
“Hmm, but I‘m not sure how I‘m going to face Grandpa, Dad and Mom. They must be disappointed in me.” Not only
Annie had to accept the called–off engagement, she also needed to face her family‘s disappointment.
“Don‘t worry about it. They‘ll understand.” Angela then primped Annie‘s messy hair strands. “You must believe that
your family loves you the most.”
Annie sniffed and nodded like an obedient child. “Hmm. Angela, I actually sensed his indifferent attitude during the
engagement ceremony back then. I’ve texted him numerous times, but he never replied at all. It is true that he
doesn‘t care for me.”
Angela‘s chest tightened as her heart ached for Annie, yet she could not help her sister, which ensued a wave of
guilt in her. If I didn‘t fall in love with Richard at the base; if I didn‘t exist in the first place, would he give it a shot
with Annie?
“I asked whether the girl he likes is an outstanding person, but he said that that was not the case. It‘s just that no
one can take away her place in his heart. Angela, I‘m so jealous of that girl!” Annie blinked her teary eyes while she
unbosomed her genuine
thoughts and sorrow without hiding anything.
Angela‘s heart was squeezed by an invisible string and she took a deep breath. “Ann, actually—” She just wished
she could tell the truth.
“What?” Annie stared at her in curiosity.
Gazing at Annie‘s tear–stained face, Angela heaved a sigh as she figured that it had been a rough day for Annie.

Following that, Annie rested her head on Angela‘s shoulder wearily. “Angela, do you know? I heard that his uncle is
the vice president of the country; even his mother is from a powerful family. I bet a lot of wonderful women will like
him.”
Angela‘s brows slightly furrowed. Is Richard from such a powerful family? Is the vice president his uncle? But I
remember that the vice president is still young! There‘s only about two years difference in their age, though.
“Angela, I‘m starving. I haven‘t eaten anything until now.” Annie suddenly thought of her rumbling stomach.
“What? He didn‘t even buy you a meal?” Rage suddenly rushed in Angela‘s veins.
A surprised Annie looked at her with baffled eyes.
“How dare he!” It was almost 1.00PM at the moment.
“No, it‘s not like that. I left the restaurant without eating anything. Don‘t blame him.” Annie attempted to put in
good words for Richard as Angela seemed like she was going to punch someone right then.
Angela inhaled deeply to regain her composure before taking hold of Annie‘s hand. “Let‘s go. Just grab anything
you want. All on me.”
“Let‘s go for a feast! I wanna have the most expensive seafood buffet.” Annie decided to efface her sadness with a
feast.
