A Love Trap

Chapter 868 Angelina's Call

At that moment, in Angelina's heart, there was nothing but rage towards Jeremy and Ashley.

However, Angelina had some more important things to think about. When she saw that Belinda was so happy to see her, Angelina wondered what she thought when she found out the truth. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Five years ago, when Angelina knew that she was not the daughter of the Gu family, she really wanted to protect Belinda.

She thought that if Belinda were to find out, the woman would definitely be disheartened. So Angelina thought that she should keep it a secret for the time being.

If the true Camelia was found, Angelina was planning to explain the situation to the Gu family.

It was always easy for the impoverished to get used to an affluent life. But the affluent would always have a hard time adjusting to being impoverished. Angelina was not an exception. When she got indulged in the luxurious life that came with being part of the Gu family, she had completely forgotten about her original plan.

Before she knew it, it had already been years. Now she could only blame others.

She didn't even realize that she had once wanted for Camelia to be found.

"Of course I have something to tell you.

You know who you are by now, don't you?"

Angelina asked with so much confidence.

When Jeremy kicked her out of the Gu family mansion, Angelina secretly followed him. She wanted to see what he was doing.

By that point, she already knew who Jeremy's sister was, so she used that to make him do her bidding.

But what she didn't expect was for Jeremy to not take the bait.

Had Jeremy not been looking for his sister all this time? Angelina thought that he had always wanted to find her.

Angelina thought she knew Jeremy. The Jeremy she knew would certainly do anything to find the real Camelia.

However, Angelina was completely wrong about him.

Jeremy didn't even bother when she made such a proposal.

Upon hearing what Angelina had said, Ashley vehemently frowned.

'Does she already know my true identity?' Ashley asked herself.

She didn't even know about it until Jeremy told her yesterday.

While listening to Angelina, it seemed like the woman already knew about her identity.

"What do you mean?" Ashley casually responded pretending to be naive about the whole thing.

If that was the case, then Ashley could figure out why it seemed like Angelina hated her so much.

Angelina was the only one who had long known that she was not the real daughter of the Gu family.

That was why she sought out Lesley and wanted her to deal with Ashley.

"What do I mean? Ashley, didn't you leave J City several years ago? Why did you come back? What are you doing here? Why didn't you just stay away from this city? Why did you have to come back?!"

Angelina launched a tirade of questions with a sharp tone

which pierced Ashley's ears.

Needless to say, her tone and line of questioning made Ashley frown.

It was true that Angelina helped her once.

So Ashley had a good impression of her. But her fondness for Angelina had quickly disappeared because of the latter's behavior towards her!

Ashley responded rigidly, "Why can't I come back? Besides, why do you care so much? You don't want me to come back? Is that it? Do you want to continue pretending to be the daughter of the Gu family? It seems like you've forgotten your place after all these years. If it's not yours in the first place, it will never be yours. So, everything that you're going through, you deserve it for what you did."

"It's not like that! Everything was fine until you came back! Jeremy had been so nice to me. And after all these years, he had never been with a single woman. He's perfect!

He even dotes on me and gives me whatever I want.

But everything changed when you came back! Jeremy isn't that nice to me as he used to be. He even discovered that I'm not his real sister!

All of this happened after you came back. If you had just stayed away, everything would have been perfectly fine!" Angelina screamed so loud into the phone, it hurt Ashley's ears.

Even so, Ashley didn't know how to respond to that.

'How can this girl think like this?

She has robbed me of my identity and everything that it entails. And now that the secret is exposed, how can she put the blame on me?

Can someone just give out their identity, their life, and everything else to another person? Should I just let her enjoy the life that I should be having?' Ashley wondered.

Ashley didn't know what was going on in Angelina's mind.

But there was nothing to discuss with Angelina anymore.

Ashley was about to hang up the phone, but Angelina seemed to know what Ashley was about to do.

She stopped Ashley by saying, "Ashley, don't you want to know where your dear daughter is? Huh?"

Ashley was startled at the new question thrown at her.

What was Angelina talking about?

How did Angelina know about her daughter?

Recently, Ashley had been going to the kindergarten to visit Dany and check on Fabio every day.

At the moment, Cayn hadn't stopped Dany from going to school. But he deployed a lot of bodyguards to protect the little girl.

So how could Angelina know about her?

Ashley replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You don't know? Well, I guess you'll know when you hear your daughter's voice."

Then, Ashley heard a rustling sound on the other line.

Angelina took the phone and put it in front of the little girl. "Speak! It's your mother. Do you want her to save you? Say something if you want her to come and get you."

Dany looked up at Angelina. Her face was a little pale. Without saying anything in response, she pressed her tiny lips together.

With that, Angelina sneered. While looking at the kid, she reached out and pinched Dany's cheeks.

"You seem like a tough girl. Even if your mom didn't call, you wouldn't even cry. We will see if you can remain calm later."

Except for Dany's pale face, there wasn't any sign that she was scared.

"Angelina, what are you doing?!"

Ashley was in the office but she couldn't even sit still. She suddenly stood up and accidentally brushed on the cup next to her.

Instantly, the cup fell from the desk and crashed on the floor.

Angelina also heard it so she laughed out loud.

"Ashley, are you worried now? I thought you didn't care?"

Angelina then stared at Dany and threatened the poor little girl, "Come on! Talk to your mother!"

Pursing her lips, Dany just stared back at Angelina without saying a word.

"What are you looking at? Say something!" Angelina couldn't help but think of Ashley when she saw how Dany looked at her.

Ashley often looked at her that way.

It truly was Ashley's daughter in front of her.
