"Stella broke up with Angelo and dropped out of school. Did you hear that?" Everyone started gossiping about Stella.

"I know. She was then engaged with McCoy Watts, the ugly son of the Watts's. And they were about to get married. What a big turn out of the event,"

​​

"She is so arrogant. She is just right for that monster."

Hearing the gossip, Angelo wasn't surprised. She just wondered how Stella had agreed to break off the engagement.

Based on what she knew about Stella, she should not give up on her so easily. But she didn't know that Stella agreed because Baron threatened to drive her out of the family.

***

In the Thorne family

Drake watched the video from the hospital monitor and then attached Angelo's photo on it.

He clipped the part of Angelo and emailed it to Aiken, his assistant.

Later, he got an email from Aiken. Drake checked it and found a picture. He clicked the picture to see it.

Then he closed the email, took out his phone, and called Ben, the president of the school Angelo was in.

"Oh, Mr. Drake, what can I do for you?" A jittery voice sounded.

Ben wondered why Drake called him because he had never received any calls from him.

He thought about it. Angelo behaved well at school this semester, and nobody bullied "him." So, what was Drake calling for?

"Which class is Daisy in?" Drake went straight to the point without noticing that his call had made Ben nervous.

Ben was relieved to hear his question. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, checked the file, and said, "Daisy is in class three of the French Department. Shall I ask someone…"

Drake hung up before Ben could finish his words. He kept the picture on his phone and asked Hale to drive him to school.

As he arrived at the door of the classroom, Drake saw Angelo and Daisy were smiling at each other.

His cold aura and handsome appearance quickly attracted the attention of many young girls.

These young girls didn't dare to get close to Drake, they gathered outside to watch him.

"Is that Drake, Angelo?"

The noise caught Daisy's attention. She warned Angelo when she saw Drake.

"Are you kidding me? He's in the hospital now. Don't make excuses to be lazy."

They would have a test later. Daisy did well in French, but she didn't listen carefully to the teacher in the class. So she didn't know much about grammar. Angelo was helping her with it.

So, Angelo thought Daisy made excuses to take a rest.

"No, I mean it. Look!"

As Daisy spoke, she pushed Angelo's head to the window side. All their smiling and touching were witnessed by Drake, who wasn't happy to see it.

"Yeah. It is."

Angelo shivered as she caught Drake's eye. She thought for a moment, put down her notes, and walked out.

Daisy knew Angelo loved Clarence, but she felt Drake and Angelo were a better match.

Drake was a cool man, and Angelo was a lovely girl. It would be interesting if they were together. Thinking of that, Daisy followed up.

"What are you doing here, Drake?"

Angelo looked at Drake and forced a smile. She got nervous when she thought of Drake's questioning in the ward.

"You've done a good job in French."

Drake had been standing here for a while and noticed the certificate on the wall. He smiled but still looked cool.

"Thanks."

Angelo was stunned for a moment. Then she touched her head and answered shyly. Drake rarely complimented anyone.

"Yeah."

Drake nodded. Then he looked at Daisy and said, "Can you come with me for a moment, Miss?"

"Me?"

Daisy couldn't believe what she had just heard, pointing at herself immediately. She shivered suddenly, and fear was written on her face.

Drake nodded when the bell rang, and Susie showed up at the door of the classroom on time.

President Ben had informed Susie about Drake coming for Daisy, so she wasn't surprised to see Drake outside her classroom.

"Daisy, stay here. Everyone else enters the classroom to take the exam."

As Susie shouted, the students outside hurried to the classroom. Angelo didn't understand what was going on but entered the classroom with others.

"What's the matter, Drake?"

Daisy had seen Drake before. She didn't expect him to come to her. It was so sudden, and she was a little nervous.

"Who is the girl in the picture?"

Drake showed the picture from his phone to Daisy, waiting for her answer.

Looking at the picture, Daisy widened her eyes. Confusedly, she gave the phone back to Drake.

Because it was a picture of her and Angelo in the contest.

"I don't know this girl, Drake. She's just a model I paid."

She had promised Angelo to keep her secret, so she would not tell Drake the truth.

But lying to Drake, she was pretty nervous. She unconsciously turned her head to one side and answered in a broken voice.

Anyone could tell that she was lying. Drake frowned and put the phone back in his pocket.

"Yeah. Go back to your classroom now and take your exam."

After saying that, Drake turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Daisy wasn't sure she convinced him or not.

"Come in for the exam now."

When Susie found that Drake had left, she came out to call Daisy, who then hurried into the classroom.

When Drake got back home, he told Aiken to start the investigation from people around Daisy to find out the woman who had saved him.

Then he took out the photo again. The girl in the photo was quite blurred.

Drake found that she looked like Angelo. But Angelo was a man.

He put down the phone, rubbed his temple, and felt upset. Somehow, he hoped that the person who saved him was Angelo.

At school

Soon, the class was over. Angelo had been waiting for Daisy after she handed her test paper. She was eager to know what Drake had said to Daisy.

Daisy started the exam late, so Susie gave her more time to finish her paper. Angelo could only wait for her.
