Chapter 578 

Angel was stunned, stepping back a few paces. She realized if her actions were exposed, Matthew would show no mercy. Fred would not protect her either. The scars she already bore would likely increase.

Although the warm air from the air conditioner filled the room. Angel felt a chill penetrate her bones as Matthew’s gaze seemed to pierce through her. But he didn’t do anything to her. He pushed the door open and walked in, 

Once the door closed, shuning out the cold fear, Angel felt alive again. She quickly fled, fearing Matthew might come after her if she lingered even a minute longer. The terror she felt was something she never wanted to experience again.

Matthew shrugged. “Even so, Valerie will never look your way. She’s now carrying my child. She won’t even glance at you. You’d better keep a tight rein on Angel. If I catch her again, it won’t be as simple as marrying her off to Fred”

The fans started discussing why she disappeared. They started looking for her everywhere. 
“Why isn’t she appearing after the film’s release?” 
“Did she quit? No way!” 
“Here’s an old photo I secretly took on set. Her looks are stunning!” 
“Any more photos? I’m in love!”
