The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 815
Advertisement
Facing them, Christina looked calm.
"The engagement was decided by their parents. But as the young generation, I think few people would want others to make decisions for them. As for their marriage, I believe they would have their own decisions."
Her words were perfect, not only showing her opinions but also not too far beyond.
While the reporters were about to ask more, the lift's door opened again, the two people they had been waiting for finally appeared.
The reporters, who had surrounded Christina just now, all rushed to Angelo and Drake.
Because of the strong momentum on Drake, the reporters kept a distance from them and carefully reached their microphones out.
"Miss Angeline, will you keep acting when you learn about the engagement?"
"Miss Angeline, the Thorne family was the biggest family in the city, which means you're about to marry a wealthy man. So, when do you plan to get married?"
"Miss Watts…"
Questions kept coming, making Angelo felt upset. Who told them they were about to get married? But she couldn't say that out because Drake looked quite angry when he heard her saying, "break off the engagement."
"Thanks for your concern, I…" Angelo was about to say something to fool them out when Drake took the microphone from a reporter.
"I'll inform you when the date of the marriage is confirmed," said Drake.
After that, he held Angelo in the shoulder and walked to the car. The reporters didn't dare to catch up to ask more.
Angelo was puzzled, doubting if she had heard it wrong.
Does Drake really want to marry her?
"Drake."
A sweet voice suddenly stopped Angelo's thinking and pulled her back.
Christina was standing in front of the car and said with a sweet smile, "Can you send me home, Drake?"

For a moment, Angelo froze there, which was noticed by Drake.
"All right," answered Drake calmly. Then he took out the car key and opened the car.
Angelo changed her face when she saw Christina opened the door of the passenger seat and get in.
She sat there last time, but she did it again after learning of the engagement between her and Drake.
But suddenly, Drake said to Christina, "Get down. Go to the back seat."
Angelo paused and slowly looked up at him with disbelief full of her eyes.
Not only Angelo but also Christina was stunned, and her face froze.
Christina forced a smile, "Drake…"
"I don't want to say it again," Drake interrupted her.
His tone was irresistible. Christina knew his temper, so she gave Angelo a hateful look before getting down.
Angelo tried to suppress her smile, and she deliberately said in a complaining tone to Drake, "It's all right, Christina sitting there. You shouldn't be mad at her."
Drake knew what she was up to, so he decided to cooperate with her.
"The passenger seat is only available for you."
His sweet words stunned Angelo. Was he the man she knew?
Behind them, the reporters were taking photos to get this key moment. They even prepared the title for tomorrow's headline.
Hearing the click noise, Angelo got in the car at once for fear that Drake would say more.
When the car left, the reporters dispersed.
On the way.
Christina was still angry when she thought Angelo prevailed.
"Let's send Angeline home first, Drake. I can go home later," said Christina.
Hearing her, Angelo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"It's indeed a long day for you, Miss Adams. You doubted my file at the press conference. That was not an easy job."

Angelo didn't understand why Christina came to the conference until she saw her cooperating with Ivy.
Ivy must ask Christina there to ruin her image.
"It's my fault, but you can't blame everything on me. I just doubted it. That's normal. Since you don't forget it, you shouldn't accuse me anymore."
Angelo laughed wilder after hearing that. In Christina's eyes, these things were trifles. Anyway, it wouldn't affect her reputation.
Angelo laughed for a long time but didn't say anything. Behind her, Christina was very unhappy.
Drake took a look at Angelo but didn't stop her.
In front of the red light, Drake stopped the car. Angelo's laughter began to die down.
"I'm sorry. This joke is so funny that I just can't stop laughing. I can't control myself."
Angelo finally stopped laughing, but there was still a smile on her face. She turned to look at Christina and joked, "Miss Adams, could you please tell me why there are laws about landers?"
Christina widened her eyes, and her chest heaved sharply, but she still tried to be like a lady.
"Slander? You can't use that word. That's too much, isn't it? How could the court accept such a boring and unnecessary case?"
Hearing that, Angelo began to laugh again. Then she turned and said casually, "Money makes the mare go. Now I am…" With that, she looked at Drake and smiled, "…Drake's fiancée. I believe he won't let me suffer for nothing, will you?"
Angelo tilted her head and looked at Drake. She wanted to know how much he could tolerate her today.
But before Drake could speak, Christina hurried to say, "It's just a trifle, Drake. I said I knew it's my fault. Are you really going so far?"
Christina sounded like sobbing as if she had been wronged.
Angelo rolled her eyes and looked out of the window, too lazy to talk to Christina. Christina came to make trouble, but now she behaved like Angelo was the bad person.
When the light turned to green, in Christina's sobbing, Drake said, "Right."
The car kept going. With the tears in her eyes, Christina stared at Drake's indifferent face and started to feel despair.
No matter who Drake answered, there was only one meaning: Angeline didn't deserve to be wronged.
Angelo also knew that, so… she was suddenly frightened.
There must be something wrong with Drake. He didn't look like him at all. Did he have a drug, or was this not him but someone else?
After all, everything he said or did today was so strange.
"… Angeline?"
When Angelo came to herself, she found that the car had already stopped at the Green. She turned back, but there was no one in the back seat.
"Where's Christina?"
"She went back," said Drake. Then he walked to the other side and opened the door for Angelo.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia?
