The Charismatic Charlie Wade

“Angela Lombardo?” Jagoan was taken aback upon hearing that name, and he pondered, “What a coincidence… Could it be the same Angela Lombardo I know?”

Yet, he quickly dismissed the idea of encountering Angela here, as it seemed highly improbable.

Nevertheless, he proceeded to inquire, “Where can I find this Angela you mentioned?”

Maria truthfully responded, “She is from Hong Kong, and her father is Gerard Lombardo, a well-known wealthy businessman in Hong Kong.”

Hearing this, Jagoan’s breath caught in his throat.

He contemplated, “Why would Angela, a member of Hong Kong’s wealthy elite, come to Aurous Hill University as a lecturer? How did I not cross paths with her?”

Recalling Maria’s earlier revelation about meeting Angela and picking her up from Thompson First Villas, Jagoan asked again, “You mentioned earlier that you went to Thompson First Villas to pick up Angela. Does Angela live there?”

Maria confirmed, “Yes, she bought an apartment in Thompson First.”

Jagoan subconsciously massaged his temples. Considering his friendship with Angela, he couldn’t fathom how she had come to teach at the university without informing him.

More importantly, how did she become involved with Maria?

However, Jagoan’s focus was not fixated on Angela’s situation at the moment. He had already started to believe the majority of Maria’s answers. It wasn’t due to Jagoan’s gullibility, rather, Maria’s responses seemed flawless.
