chapter 6

Jorge barely came back from hospital to their house.When he went upstairs, he saw that everything was still there. Even the card that he gave her for her monthly expenses was untouched, but her documents in the drawer were all gone.Jorge suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and the irritable feeling became more intense.After all, he could not remain indifferent to her after three years of marriage.Quinn came into the room angrily. “The!Blue Diamond ’ necklace in the safe is missing! It’s worth $10 million. Angela must have stolen it. I’ll call the police!”Jorge frowned. “Don’t call the police. It’s not her. Maybe you left it somewhere.”Angela had never asked for the password to the safe, so how could she steal the necklace?‘Also, it’s merely $10 million. It’s not worth much, so what’s the point of stealing it?’When Jorge thought of this, he could not even recall if he ever gave his wife any jewelry in their three years of marriage...Jorge took his car keys and left. He sat in the car and smoked a cigarette, but the uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate.Quinn was not willing to let this lowly woman get away that easily. She did not have to call the police because she had plenty of other means.After Angela and Easy left Imperial Jorge's house, Easy had been cursing the Trumphs until they got home. “That old hag is senile! If it wasn’t for her age, I would’ve taught her a lesson!”Angela was used to it and smiled. “Forget it. Don’t stoop to her level. Anyway, we won’t be seeing them anymore.” The two ladies were talking and laughing. When they finally returned to the Reed Mansion, they saw Grant Reed, who rarely appeared because he was always busy with work, sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper. He looked so serious, noble, and indifferent.Angela happily ran over and hugged him from behind as she acted like a spoiled child. After three years without seeing him, he still felt as familiar as ever.“My younger Brother, you’re finally back! I really love you. Why did you disappear after sending me home?”Grant helplessly and dotingly allowed her to wiggle around him. His cold aura was broken by the cozy atmosphere.“There was an important meeting I had to attend. I rushed back as soon as it was over. Here, your gift.”This was Grant’s habit. No matter how far away he went on a business trip, he would always bring her souvenirs. This was a limited-edition custom-made handbag that was not yet available in the country. It had an eight-digit price tag and was invaluable in the market. Most importantly, it was unique to Angela. Grant found out in advance that Easy was also here, so he bought her a custom Chanel perfume that women liked.Easy took it over with a blush on her face and said softly, “Thank you.”However, Grant did not notice Easy's  expression because his eyes were fixated on his elder sister. He knew that she had a rough time, so he felt heartbroken and only wanted to give her the best.On the other hand, Angela keenly observed Easy's reaction. Her smile widened and she had already fantasized about their future.......Late at night.“Holy shit!” Easy was hyperventilating as she called Angela, who picked up the phone in the middle of the night with a sleepy voice, “What’s wrong?”“Go online right now! The Trumphs still didn’t forget to sling mud at you after the divorce. They said that you stole something from them and that they won’t involve the police if you return it by tomorrow. Otherwise, they’ll screw you over. It’s gone viral!”Angela's heart sank and she immediately went online. It was an official statement from the Trumph Corporation accusing Angela of having no character and stealing valuable jewelry after the divorce.“Valuable? They even dare to show off a mere $10 million jewelry? Do they think that you’ve never seen money before?” Easy cursed indignantly.The comments on the internet were speculating that Angela was kicked out of the wealthy Trumph family because of her bad character.Those netizens spittled so much hate and even dug out Angela's social media account. Her only happy memories during the past three years that she posted on her social media were all spun into twisted stories by those spiteful netizens.[Peaceful times? I think she’s just pretending!][She deserves to get kicked out of the family!][They should just call the police. She’s not only a clown but also a thief!]There were many other hateful comments about Angela.Angela had seen that set of jewelry once. Jorge kept it locked in the safe and she did not know the password, nor did she ever ask for it.‘Haha! Jorge Trumph doesn’t even have the basic decency after our divorce and wants to hurl mud at me? Does he think that I’ll put up with this crap?!’ Angela immediately dialed Michael's number. “M, I remember that K’s entertainment company is under my name. Who is managing it now?”Michael paused for a moment and rubbed his brow. He had also just learned about this news. “Dominic Young. I’ll get him to handle that viral hashtag right away.”“No need. I’ll handle this myself.”Angela's tone was indifferent. ‘Don’t they want a confrontation? Do they think that I’m scared?’This viral topic spread like wildfire after 8 became a rat that everyone mocked.At 8:00 am, Angela logged on to her social media account and posted a photo with a statement.After that, she looked at the nice weather outside and smiled bitterly in self-derision.‘I was really so blind to marry Jorge Trumph. "The photo Angela posted was the one of Ayesha Quade and Jorge Trumph's sleeping together. Their intimacy was self-evident.What was originally a sharp weapon used to hurt Angela became a shield for her to protect herself.Angela's statement was as follows:[Dear Mr. Jorge Trumph,I was deeply sorry to hear that ‘Blue Diamond Necklace ’ was stolen, so I hired a private detective to track it down overnight. The detective found the jewelry  in Germany, at the hands of Ms. Samira Trumph. It seems that Ms. Samira Trumph is quite a world-class gambler.I hope that you will investigate this thoroughly before jumping to conclusions.Regards,Angela.]Angela also attached the well-known private detective’s investigation report as well as another photo of “ Blue Diamond Necklace.” that was on a gambling table with Samira Trumph.Samira Trumph was daughter of Quinn Trumph.In an instant, the already viral gossip became even more turbulent. Jorge Trumph's  divorced ex-wife, Angela, was put in such a vulnerable position, yet she hired a reputable private detective agency and even cleared her name during the day without disturbing anyone’s rest. Her statement was also justified and concise.Moreover, that photo of Jorge Trumph and Ayesha Quade together implied the reason for their divorce.Who was the unprincipled one in this relationship?The netizen’s voices instantly changed directions. Needless to say, Angela's innocence was proven. She was blatantly accused without reason. Everyone started sharing her post. All of a sudden, the Trumphs became the subject of this scandal.Continue ✍ Atrayee Sarkar
