Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 44

Around 7:30 pm, the other students said they wanted to celebrate Angeline’s arrival. So they brought her over to a restaurant opposite the university to have dinner.

“Professor said tonight’s dinner to celebrate our new teammate is on him!” Reese declared, handing menus to

everyone.

“Wow! How happy is the old man to have Angeline onboard? He’s being so generous tonight!” Reese’s girlfriend, Marion West, handed Angeline a menu. “Hurry up and take advantage of it, Angeline! The professor is usually really frugal!”

“Get some non-spicy meats as well. Angeline can’t eat spicy food!” Alva told Marion, who was ordering.

The barbecue restaurant was packed with noise and chatter. Smoke from sizzling meats filled the place as the waiters rushed back and forth between the tables. All of them greeted and thanked the customers as they

entered and left the restaurant.

Angeline’s seniors kept telling her stories about James’ adventures finding talented people to join their team. Laughter continuously rang out from their table.

Angeline slowly felt comfortable being in such a friendly environment.

At 8:00 pm sharp, The Family Search’s latest episode was broadcast on all streaming platforms, including the TV in the restaurant. The online viewership kept on increasing.

Angeline’s seniors turned around to watch the program as well.

As Anne confronted the Emmerson family about whether they dared reveal that Benjamin’s mother was abducted in the first place, gasps rang out from the restaurant.

“My goodness! His mother was abducted!” Alva exclaimed.

Marion’s brows knitted together. “If she was abducted, it’s only natural that she ran away! How could that old woman insist that the mother ran away because she thought their family was too poor? How is being abducted and thinking they’re too poor the same thing?”

Even Reese couldn’t help but grumble, “Why go on the program if he knew his mother was abducted in the first

place?”

Soon enough, the hashtag #TFSshouldchildofabductedwomansearchformother grew viral online.

Angeline silently served her seniors more barbecued meat and vegetables,

Forty minutes passed.

As Juliet began walling about how Jodie had failed to marry early on and bear children, instead choosing to drug a man to sleep with him only to end up getting her nudes posted online, Anne began arguing with Juliet about how Jodie was a good young woman regardless.

The hashtag #jodieoceanfordcollege drugsothersforsex was revitalized.

“Oceanford College?” Marlon turned to Angeline curiously. “You’re from Oceanford College, right, Angeline? Did this really happen?”

Angeline nodded and said honestly, “Yeah, but the drugging wasn’t done on purpose. Both of them just accidentally drank some drugged alcohol and the photos were taken afterward,” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Who posted those photos? Was it the guy?” Reese asked with a frown.

“Mhm…” Angeline wiped her mouth with a tissue.

She was prepared to be interrogated about this matter. If her seniors asked her whether they knew who Jodie was, she would tell them it was her.

“Huh? Why?” Alva was confused. “Was It to show off?”

“Because the guy liked another girl. When that girl heard of this news, she wanted to leave the country. The

guy ended up going with someone else’s suggestion and posted the photos online.”

Angeline’s heart was no longer as painful as it was before when she brought this topic up.
