Chapter 984

On the other hand, Angela’s mind was in turmoil. She sat on the bed behind him, overwhelmed by
feelings of anguish.

Two hours later, Trevor and Jared pulled up in front of the inn, having cleared the mudslide last night.
At this moment, they were here to pick Angela up on Richard’s orders.

Angela was downcast when she followed Trevor and Jared out of the inn. Despite her exquisite beauty,
she looked lifeless from the inside out, as if she had been tortured and flogged by something intangible.

“Miss Meyers, we’ve received orders that we can now send you back to Averna safely. Please go back
with us now to pack up your belongings. We’ll be going to the airport this afternoon,” Jared said
somewhat reluctantly.

Angela nodded in silence. “Okay. Thank you for that.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s part of our duty.” Trevor looked at her with sympathy. I thought Angela and Richie
would be able to get back together if we pushed her toward him. But now, it seems that things have
gotten worse. Richie ordered us to send her back to Averna right away, whereas his whereabouts are
unknown.

Angela returned to the base. She had lived here for two months, but now, she found herself somewhat
reluctant to leave this place.

At 2:00PM, she got a phone call from Daphne; her family had learned of the good news and was
looking forward to her return. At last, her life was no longer in danger. “Angela, I’ll throw a big party for
you when you come back so that we can have fun to our heart’s content.”

“It’s not necessary, Mom. I just want to go home and rest as much as I can,” Angela. refused.

“Okay, no problem. Let’s talk about it when you come back. I miss you so much.”



At 3:00PM, Angela arrived at the airport, escorted by four team members who also accompanied her
on the flight back to Averna. Seated in the first-class cabin, she kept looking at the passengers who
were coming in. When she saw the flight attendant closing the cabin door, a hint of disappointment
flashed across her eyes.

As expected, Richard no longer showed up around her. His mission was over, and she no longer
needed protection. Now that she thought about it, they belonged to different worlds in the first place
and were only bound together by the protective mission this time. They had to live their separate lives
after the mission ended.

The plane took off from the ground. Now that the mission to protect Angela was over, her life would
return to normal. She was the daughter of the Meyers Family. Her mother ran a listed company that
was worth more than 7 billion, whereas her father was a powerful government official. As their only
daughter, she was destined to live in glory.

The two-hour flight ended, and the plane touched down at the airport. When Angela emerged from the
VIP passage, she saw her parents standing there. Holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, Daphne
burst into tears of joy; she ran up to Angela and hugged her, saying, “You’re back at last, my daughter.”

“Hey, Mom.” Angela patted her on the back.

Daphne’s heart ached when she saw her daughter’s makeup-free face and her washed-out clothes.
“Look at you. You must’ve suffered a lot.”

Gilbert came over and looked at Angela with a sigh of relief, saying, “Angela, we’ll have dinner with our
extended family this evening to celebrate your safe return. We all missed you.” Then, he said to Trevor
and the other three men behind her, “Please come this evening to let our family express our gratitude
toward you guys.”



“Hey, didn’t Captain Lloyd come back with you guys?” Daphne asked curiously. Richard was Annie’s
fiancé, so she had to express her care for him, of course.

“Captain Lloyd left because he had something else to do,” Jared replied with a smile.

“Mr. Meyers, we still have another mission at hand. Sorry that we won’t be coming for dinner,” Willy
refused.
