Chapter 453:
âI can free you from your fatherâs grasp and even arrange your marriage into the Brooks family as Wadeâs partner, but only if you accept one condition.â
Angela, cunning as ever, steered the conversation back to Lindsay and Wade, her voice shaking with fear.
âWade? But isnât he your fiancé?â
Lindsayâs expression remained calm, her lips curling slightly.
âIf youâre interested, he could be yours.â With that, Lindsay said no more.
Angela understood that this was a trap set by Lindsay, yet she dived right in, unable to tolerate any more of Rollandâs abuse.
âDeal,â she said firmly.
Lindsay rose lazily upon hearing the answer she anticipated.
âTake a week to recover. Make sure you look attractive when itâs time. Iâll send you to Wadeâs bed then.â
Angela was puzzled over why Lindsay hadnât revealed any condition yet. Was it just because Lindsay disliked Wade and wanted to use her to break the engagement? No, that couldnât be it. In their world, there were no favors without strings attached.
Angela raised her head, locking eyes with Lindsay.
âWhat is it that you want from me?â
Lindsay brushed a stray hair from her face and smirked.
âNot much. Just help me handle a mutual enemy.â
Angela guessed quickly.

âHarlee?â
âYou catch on fast!â Lindsayâs smile broadened.
âYou get your revenge and what you want.â
Isnât that beneficial for Angela remained silent. On the outside, it seemed she stood to gain from this deal, but the specifics of what she would need to do were left unsaid, tying her freedom and future to this agreement.
Previously, Angela would never have gambled her freedom on such a partnership, but now⦠she had nothing left to lose.
âYes. Thank you for giving me this opportunity!â Angela said to Lindsay.
Just then, a knock snapped Angela back to reality.
âCome in.â Angela adopted the soft demeanor expected of a pregnant woman.
Lillie walked in, concerned to find Angela on the sofa rather than resting.
âOh, dear, why arenât you in bed? Tomorrowâs a big day. You should sleep early to keep your skin glowing.â
Angela relaxed into Lillieâs embrace, her face etched with uncertainty.
âMom, Iâm unsure if Iâve chosen rightly this time.â
Lillie comforted her, patting her shoulder and sighing.
âAngela, you are our familyâs pride. With your capabilities, you deserve someone of Wadeâs caliber.
Donât doubt yourself.
Be brave and press on. Iâll always support you.â Her gaze intense with concern, Lillie continued, âTomorrowâs your significant day.
