“Why?” “Do you think you’ll be safe after I catch those three criminals? There are still many of them
from their organization.
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.
Angela 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, I 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!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“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 came into 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 came up today. So, I might not be able to attend,” Richard responded in a low voice.
“No matter how busy you are, you better show up at the engagement banquet at 7pm tonight.
Otherwise, I will make you quit the army.” After that, Phillip hung up the phone angrily.
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 some security 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 some other metals but not the lipstick that they

“Mr. Richard, they must have used special materials for the packaging that could shield the electronic
equipment inside, so I think we can only search for it manually.”
Another subordinate came running over to report. “Mr. Richard, I 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 to me what 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.
