Chapter 482:
âThat must be the case. Only the siteâs creator could add users as friends without restrictions!â
She snatched up her phone, started to compose a message, but paused, her finger hovering over âsend.â After a momentâs hesitation, she deleted the draft.
âI must tread carefullyâ¦â
With a light tap of her fingers on the wood, a calculated glint shone in her eyes, revealing a hint of her brewing scheme. She should endure the silence until the websiteâs creator eliminated Harlee.
Elsewhere, Angela emerged from the depths of her coma. The violent force from Wade at the engagement party had not only struck her but had also robbed her of the child she was carrying.
Upon absorbing this devastating news, Angelaâs grief erupted in screams and wild shouts.
Before she could release all her pent-up emotions, Angela caught sight of her mother, Lillie, whose face was etched with somber lines.
The stark emptiness of the room, save for her motherâs presence, hinted at dire changes.
Angela pieced together that tensions must have escalated between the Brooks and Hilton families during her unconscious state, given Lillieâs grave demeanor.
Angelaâs heart seethed with bitterness toward Harlee.
Had Harlee succumbed to the poison she had been plotting sooner, she wouldnât have found herself a victim of Wadeâs forceful push when she pretended to intervene. Now, swallowing the agony of her miscarriage, she steeled herself for whatever came next.

âMom, Iâve let out my feelings. Please, whatâs happened with the Brooks family?â
Lillie, who once would have offered a comforting embrace, now regarded Angela with a chilling detachment, her eyes reflecting a hard resolve.
âAngela, thereâs something crucial you need to know.â
Angela lay on the hospital bed, a serene calm washing over her as she picked up on Lillieâs demeanor. She watched, her expression blank, as Lillie unfolded the tale of her origins and the events following her surgery. The room was quiet, punctuated only by the soft beeping of the medical equipment.
When Lillie finished speaking, Angela lifted her face, now marred by trails of tears, her shoulders trembling as she sobbed quietly. The look on her face was a tumult of grievance and defiance.
âMom, I have to marry into the Brooks family. Iâll make them and Rolland regret everything theyâve done!â
Lillie observed the deep resentment burning in Angelaâs eyes, feeling a twinge of compassion for her.
Despite the lofty expectations she held for Angela, Lillie found it difficult to maintain her detachment.
Angela was, after all, the daughter she had lovingly raised for over two decades.
As Lillieâs resolve wavered, Angelaâs determination seemed to solidify. She looked up, hope flickering in her tearful eyes.
