They will be looking frantically for you because of the lipstick. You better not be running around out there.” “Then you should let my parents know too so they could watch out for themselves!” Angela urged.
“We'll inform them. But for now, I'm going to take my men to search for that lipstick. Wait here for us before we make a decision.” After speaking, Richard got up and left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAngela took a deep breath before remembering that she had her phone. After grabbing it, she turned it on.
Suddenly, a message popped up. She quickly opened it and saw that it was a reply from her boyfriend, Dexter Kavinsky.
‘Angela, I've thought about it. Deep down, | still love you. Don’t worry! I've canceled my engagement, and I'm coming back to see you soon. Let's get back together!” “Dexter...” Angela burst into tears with excitement. She knew that he would not fall in love with another woman so easily.
‘Okay, I'll wait for your return.” She replied. Dropping her phone on her chest, her mind was instantly filled with sweet memories of Dexter.
Dexter had accompanied her for four years while she was studying abroad. Dexter was a warm gentleman in her heart. He cinto her life like a ray of light, filling her heart with the love that her parents had failed to give her.
At this moment, Richard got into the car and went directly to Meyers Residence to search for the whereabouts of the lipstick.
In the car, his phone rang. He picked it up and glanced at the screen before answering, “Hello, Grandpa.” “Don’t be late for the engagement party tonight.” Phillip reminded him at the other end of line.
“Something cup today. So, | might not be able to attend,” Richard responded in a low voice.

That was a threat..
In Phillip’s heart, the succession of the family was a top priority.
Richard let out a small sigh and propped his forehead with his fingers. It seemed difficult to go against his grandpa’s order this time. However, he never wanted to engage, not to mention with a woman he had never met.
In Meyers Residence, Richard arrived with his men. The maids were aware that they were here to deal with ssecurity work. So, they did not stop them.
When Richard located Angela’s room from the backyard, he estimated the distance between the balcony of her room and the backyard to find out where the lipstick could have possibly been dropped.
Then, he ordered his subordinates to search that specific area. They used an electronic detector to scan that area. However, all they could detect were sother metals but not the lipstick that they were looking for.
“Mr. Richard, they must have used special materials for the packaging that could shield the electronic equipment inside, so | think we can only search for it manually.” Another subordinate crunning over to report. “Mr. Richard, | have bad news. Because of the heavy rainstorm last night, the sewer system in the entire backyard was drained to a ditch over there, which connects to an underground drainage pipe about 300 feet away. If the lipstick was washed away, we might need to broaden our search area.” Richard then looked up at the sky speechlessly. “Can anyone please explain towhat on earth was that woman thinking?” This was probably something that all men could not figure out. Why would women simply throw things out? It was supposed to be such an easy problem to solve, but it was now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
