Chapter 931

“Are you being pursued by another girl?” She was tenacious in her refusal to change the subject.

However, Richard was hesitant to respond to her question. Furthermore, he didn’t want her to know
that the girl in question was her cousin, Annie. Nonetheless, he was adamant about. breaking off the
engagement. He wasn’t worried that what he did might hurt his grandpa’s reputation and planned to go
through with what he had decided. After all, he didn’t want to jeopardize Annie’s future. He had never
thought about his future with the girl in front of him because he had no intention of marrying in this life.

Angela realized that he had not responded to her question since the start, and she felt quite dejected.
She continued to take sips from his mug of tea, but suddenly, she choked on it.

“Cough… Cough…” She clutched her chest. in discomfort as she coughed hard. The choking sensation
she felt was very uncomfortable for her.

At that moment, she felt a large hand. gently pat her on the back, and she finally managed to catch her
breath. Her face was flushed from all the coughing, and she felt Richard’s hand touch her. forehead at
that moment. She was quite angry, so she smacked his hand aside abruptly.

“I don’t need you to show any concern, Captain Lloyd.” She angrily turned her back on him.



The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Angela turned her back on him. clearly expressing her
displeasure.

She suddenly heard him sigh, and he explained in a low voice, “The person who sent me the text
message is the girl my Grandpa is trying to set me up with, but I have no feelings for her.”

Angela turned her head back to him, her eyes widening in astonishment. “Do you have a fiancée?”




“She’s just a girl I met once,” Richard emphasized.

Angela, however, felt a sharp pain in her chest because, in his grandpa’s eyes, that girl was already his
fiancée, even though. they had only met once.

“Are you going to marry her?” She couldn’t stop the jealousy that welled up within her.

“No.” He shook his head with a determined look in his eyes.

“So, what’s your plan?” Angela seemed to be intent on pursuing the topic to get an answer.

Richard didn’t look the least bit annoyed. He gave her a solemn look before responding, “Once I’ve
completed my mission to protect you, I’ll speak with Grandpa about breaking off the engagement. I will
personally apologize to the girl’s family.”

“Aren’t you worried about hurting the girl’s feelings?” She sighed and felt sympathy for his fiancée.

He remained silent for a few seconds. Angela has no idea that her cousin Annie is the girl she’s
referring to.

“Stop being upset because I can handle my own problems perfectly.” Richard no longer wanted to talk
about this matter. He was willing to explain things to keep her from overthinking and becoming upset.

She came to her senses and realized how easily her jealousy could be triggered. She blushed at that
moment. “Alright, I’ll stop being upset.”

There was a knock on Richard’s door, and Angela quickly inquired, “Is that Trevor and the others?”

He went to the door to answer the knock: just as he had only pushed it open halfway, Angela heard
Ariel’s voice coming from the outside. Ariel said, “Hi, Captain Lloyd. I was wondering if I could use your
shower if it’s okay with you.”



Her voice was sickly sweet and flirtatious; it was definitely a seductive tone.

Angela’s lovely eyes dilated as she wondered, What?! Is Ariel planning on taking a shower in Richard’s
bathroom?
