Chapter 94 Stanley, Be Careful (2/2)

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

Angela and Arvin stepped in. Angela had only one thing on her mind, and didn't even notice Stanley.

Arvin discerned Stanley's irregular expression and then looked at Nancy in bed. Then, he understood the relationship between them.

”Nancy, Nancy...” Angela caressed Nancy's moon-white face.

”It's all my fault! Nancy, I'm sorry... I didn't protect you...”

She cried. It was all her fault. She had brought this on Nancy.

Angela restricted her view to Nancy's face, out of fear that she would pass out again at the sight of her scar.

Arvin totally understood her recrimination against herself, but wished to comfort her.

He placed a firm hand on her shoulder, gave it a paternal squeeze of consolation, and said, ”It has nothing to do with you. It was not your fault.”

According to Stanley, Nancy was the target of a gangland conspiracy. Angela's injuries were a result of her getting in the way.

”I'm good at taekwondo, I just can't understand where I went wrong. But now, I can't even protect Nancy! Am I really such a failure?”

”You're strange. Your thoughts are too... critical, ” said Arvin. Deep inside, he couldn't understand the motivations of her mind.

Angela rubbed her eyes, ”Why would you call me strange?”

”Would it still be your fault if there were 100 gangsters? Would it?” Arvin wiped her tears from her cheeks and rubbed the back of her neck therapeutically.
