Chapter 334 - Resentment
"Let me go inside."
"I am sorry ma'am but we have strict orders of not letting you come anywhere close to the office. I suggest you leave before I am forced to switch to harsh methods," the guard firmly said leaving no room for any argument.
Gritting her teeth, Angella snapped at the guard. "I am not leaving without meeting Yichan, let me go inside." A few days ago, she did manage to sneak into the office but was caught before she could even get a glimpse of Yichan. After that, she tried to sneak in again but always ended up getting up. But today was an exception, she was outside Mo corporation with the intention of not moving until she met him.
Before the guard could say anything, Angella tried to run inside. But before she could take more than a couple of steps, the guard yanked her by her hands and dragged her back.
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for us," the guard stated in a firm tone.
"Let me go, how dare you touch me?" she yelled and tried very hard to jerk his hands away but before she could do anything else, someone grabbed her shoulders.
"You—" she stopped midway and completely froze when she saw who it was.
Without even looking at her, Roger turned towards the guard and said, "I'll take care of her." He then dragged Angella away from the scene.
….
Stopping right in front of his car, Roger took out his phone and started calling someone.
Pursing her lips, Angella muttered, "Brother—"
Cutting her off, he snapped, "Shut up, don't say a word."
"Are you calling dad?" When he did not say anything, she started panicking. "Please don't, he doesn't know I am here."
"I said don't utter a word," he shouted which made Angella flinch in fear.
Roger had never raised his voice on her until now. In fact, she was his favourite and he adored her. So the sudden change in his behavior and the cold treatment made her eyes water.
Roger on the other hand was fuming in anger. Whenever he saw Angella, he felt nothing but bitter. He had lost so many things in the past few years because an incident which wasn't even real. It was a made up act by his father to take away the little happiness he had in his life. He resented his father and the fact that Angella, the sister he once treasured was a part of it too, made him resent her too.
He didn't want to get involved in their business anymore. In fact, he didn't want to even look at their faces but Angella creating havoc outside Yichan's office was unacceptable to him. He was done letting his father or anyone else play with his life or with the people who were dear to him.
He was not going to let his father win this time and he was very determined about it.
"So you finally decided to call," Kareem William, Roger's father said as soon as he answered the call.
Ignoring his pecky comment, Roger stated, "Come and take your daughter from here before I lose my mind and she ends up in the police station."
Angella froze when she realized that Roger was talking to their father.
Though Kareem William loved his daughter and always fulfilled all her wishes, when it came to Angella wanting Yichan to be a part of her life, he always warned her to let that thought out of her mind and never supported it. He strictly told her not to linger around Yichan or anything related to him.
Even today, she had somehow managed to sneak out of the house where Kareem had kept her well hidden. And now that he had found out about her actions, she was sure he would restrict and also keep a close eye on all her movements here after.
"What are you talking about? Where is Angella?" Kareem asked.
"She is with me outside Mo corporation." Pausing for a couple of seconds, Roger stated, "You have ten minutes to send someone to fetch your daughter and if you don't then be ready to bail her from the police station where she will be charged for creating a havoc and scene outside a reputed office building." Without waiting for Kareem's reply, he hung up the call.
Closing his eyes, Roger took a deep breath to calm himself down. He didn't want useless people to ruin his mood but there were some emotions he had no control over.
After calming himself down, he called Ning.
"Are you downstairs?" Ning asked as soon she received the call.
"Yes but I am dealing with something right. I'll come up in ten minutes, okay?" he said.
"Is everything okay?" she inquired.
"Yes, everything is fine. I'll tell you about it when we meet."
Though Ning knew something was off with him, she did not press on it. "Alright, take your time."
After hanging up the call, Roger glared at Angella who was still sobbing. The more he looked at her, the more sour he felt. Her face reminded him of all the hardships and emotional turmoil he had gone through for the last few years.
"Brother Roger, I—"
Cutting her off, he snapped, "Stop calling me that. Neither am I your brother nor you are my sister. The relationship we had ended a long time back. Don't try to revive it back with your fake tears and pretentious face."
Before she could say anything further, he snarled, "I don't know what made you come here and create a scene but the next time I hear you doing the same, you will see the worse of me."
"I don't care about the stinky and stupud fantasies you have been nurturing in your head for years, but let me tell you Angella, you are never gonna get that so you better take it off your head. I have had enough of your bulshit and fake acts, this time I am not gonna fall for it. So if you think these tears are gonna work on me then you are wrong." he added.
