Her Precious Baby

Chapter 260

‘’Be a good girl and go home with your daddy.”

“I won't! You're all bad people!”

Screaming hysterically, Floretta began grabbing the bottles in the living room and smashing them.

“I don't want any so-called home. I only want Angel. Please come out, Angel! Don't you want me anymore?” she wailed pitifully.

Her innocent words sent a sharp pain through Angeline's heart, and tears gushed out of Angeline's eyes again.

After living with Floretta for such a long time, she had begun to treat the little girl like her own biological daughter.

As an impulsive thought flashed through her mind, she subconsciously walked to the door and gripped the doorknob tightly.

However, just as she was about to turn the doorknob, the sound of Evander's stem voice sounded outside.

“Stop this ruckus, Floretta. Angeline isn't your mommy,” he ordered.

When Angeline heard that, her movement came to a halt, and a trace of pain surfaced in her eyes.

He's right. I'm not Floretta's mommy. Moreover, I've broken up with him. Who am I to ask for her to stay with me?

Floretta went on crying for another while on the other side of the door, and none of Francesca's tricks worked in coaxing her. In the end, Evander simply lifted the little girl into his amis and left the place.

By then, Floretta's voice was already hoarse from crying, but she still went on weeping, “I want Angel... Angel, please don't abandon me...”

Angeline's heart clenched when she heard the child's cries. She leaned lightly against the door, her tears pouring forth as if from a broken dam.

Floretta had always been very withdrawn in nature. It was not till she met Angeline that she slowly opened up.

Now tliat Angeline would no longer be by the child's side, she did not dare to imagine to what extent Floretta would shut herself off again.

Bang!

The front door slammed shut.

Silence filled the air as the commotion died away.

Angeline's emotions eventually calmed down as well. Since Evander had given his answer, she could only force herself to let it go, no matter how reluctant she was.

Most importantly, she had to live a good life.

Only after she became more capable would she be able to provide Sebastian with the best treatment and live the life she desired.

Outside the door, Roger and Nancy were both a little dumbfounded after witnessing Evander leaving with Floretta and Francesca.

Nancy broke the silence, fuming with righteous indignation, “What a heartless man! Here I was, thinking that he had come to console Angeline. Who would have thought that he even took Floretta away instead? I can't believe I used to support him. I must have been blind!”

“I never thought he would be so brutal either-.” Roger shook his head helplessly as he muttered under his breath, “Couldn't he have just spoken a few kind words to coax her first?”

Suddenly, Nancy turned toward him with a terrifyingly sinister gaze.

“You get lost as well!”

“Huh?” Roger looked at her innocently as he asked in a soft voice, “Have I done something wrong to you lately? Where do you expect me to go at this hour?”

"Shut up!”

The more Nancy looked at him, tire more she could not stand tire sight of him. Pushing his shoulders, she drove him toward the door.

“You're both useless men! Don't even get me started on your history with women as well. Since tilings have ended between Evander and Angeline, then I don't want to see you anymore either!”

“B-But I've done nothing wrong!” Roger retorted exasperatedly.

As the two argued and shoved at each other, the door opened, and Angeline walked out of the room.

“Nancy, please arrange for a press conference for me.”

Angeline's hoarse voice cut through the atmosphere in the room.

Nancy returned to her senses. Loosening her grip on Roger's ear, she turned toward Angeline with an anxious gaze.

“What do you want to do?”

“I'm going to announce my agreement to terminate my contract with the company and my decision to quit the entertainment industry.”

With tliat, Angeline took in a deep breath with a calm smile on her face.

However, the words she had just spoken with such nonchalance sent a ripple through Nancy's heart.

“Angeline, have you lost your mind? You're joking with me, aren't you?” Nancy asked with shock.

“No, I'm fully prepared for this step. I'm sorry, Nancy,” Angeline answered truthfully.

Her eyes were filled with guilt as she hugged Nancy's shoulders tightly.

She had no regrets about leaving the entertainment industry.

However, she felt sorry for Nancy, the person who had striven to gain resources for her throughout the years.

Hearing those words, Nancy held her forehead, feeling slightly dazed. After some thought, she patiently reminded Angeline again, “Angeline, I know how badly the scandals on the internet have affected your mood, but you should know tliat the netizens have a short-lived memory. As long as you produce a new piece of work, everyone will forget the rumors of the past.”

“That's right, Mrs. Golding. You're an A-list celebrity. It would be such a waste if you gave up just like that.” Even Roger could not help but furrow his brows deeply, feeling regretful for her. “If it's because of the company, I'm sure Golding Group will help you to gain opportunities. You don't have to—”

“Don't bring up anything to do with him anymore.” Angeline cut him off frostily, looking visibly displeased.

Roger could only swallow the rest of his words as a wave of helplessness washed across his heart.

They're just torturing each other, but for what?

“Nancy, you understand best the reason I initially joined the entertainment industiy. It was none other- than to become stronger and to find my child. Now that I've found my child, there is nothing else I could ask for. I guess I should use this opportunity to tend to Forrester Group, which was left to me by my mother.”

Angeline took Nancy's hand in hers, holding it tightly. There was a trace of relief in her eyes and a hint of reluctance as well.

“Sure, as long as you've thought it through.” Tears were brimming in Nancy's eyes. Pulling Angeline into her arms, she sobbed into her ear, “I promise to arrange for your last press conference. Perhaps quitting this industry will be good for you. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, all you have to do is ask.”

Throughout the years, Angeline kept being the target of unscrupulous media companies and becoming the subject of unfounded rumors.

Only by leaving the entertainment industry would she have a chance to lead a good life with Sebastian.

For tire next few days, Angeline followed her treatment plan and recovered from her condition. After that, she went to take care of Sebastian at the hospital.

The press conference and Angeline's farewell event with her fans were held on the same day. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

It all went smoothly. However, Angeline's actions became a trending topic for several days, giving the unscrupulous media companies more opportunities to spread rumors about her.

Despite tliat, Angeline no longer wanted to bother- about them but quietly began her preparation to take over matters related to Forrester Group.

A part of Forrester Group's shares was owned by the Yiurk family, which meant that she would become business partners with Hanson soon.

Due to their personal grudges and what Angeline knew about Hanson's character, this idea did not appeal to her. Thus, she made up her mind.

By hook or by crook, I must force the Yiurk family to withdraw their shares!
