A Love Trap

Hannah didn't try to hide her feelings. So it was easy for Angelina to read them.

It was obvious that she wanted Angelina to get married to a rich man that could help them have a better life.

Hannah had thought of this ever since Angelina grew up to be a beautiful lady. She started blooming a few years ago.

She prioritized marrying rich over anything else but Angelina strived to study hard and get good grades. Angelina persuaded them to let her pursue higher education with the promise of earning more.

Upon hearing this, Angelina said impatiently, "Mother, I've already told you that we're just regular, old friends! Will you just let it go? Because it's never going to happen. Do you think that I'm that type of girl that every man will fall head over heels in love with? There are so many more beautiful women out there."

This was the first time that Angelina had said so much to her family and her tone was dripping with sarcasm.

Angelina just wanted Hannah to let it go. That was why she had spoken so much.

Surprisingly, Hannah suddenly stood up and raised her voice. "Well, now I see why you don't want to come home. It looks like you've been busy with other people. You look down upon us, don't you?

Are you sure that you're just being friends? A regular friend wouldn't drive you back so late. Plus he drove you back. Do you think that I'm just some three-year old child that can be fooled easily?" Hannah shouted angrily.

Jacob chimed in, "Angelina, are you that rich person's mistress?"

Although he spoke in a low voice, everyone in the living room could still hear what he had said since the living room was so small.

The more Jacob thought about it, the more likely he thought that it was true. 'Otherwise, why would Angelina insist that they were just friends?' he thought to himself.

He knew a little about the situation of being a mistress. A mistress was similar to a secret lover. They couldn't reveal their relationships with their respective lovers.

Angelina's face turned gloomy. 'Why are they so selfish and greedy? Can't they just want what's best for me?
