However, Angela merely stared at her mother in silence.
“Fine, you're not saying anything, are you? | took a photo of his number plate and I'm going to call your father to look into it. With his capability, | don’t believe that he won't be able to find out who that guy is,” said Daphne while reaching out her hands to look for her phone.
