The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 860
Advertisement
Angelo didn't expect that it was so hard to handle Drake this time. He used to forgive her as long as she acted coquettishly.
While Angelo was thinking about what to do, her phone rang again. It was from Clarence. She was not the only one to see it, so did Drake.
The aura in Drake seemed changed, and Angelo sensed the change. Drake was tough just now, but he appeared calm, quite different from now.
Angelo regretted bringing her phone here.
"Give me the phone," said Drake. Angelo handed him the phone at once. It was the best choice under such a condition.
Drake answered the phone and said, "Don't call Angelo anymore." Then he hung up.
Angelo thought he was pretty rude but still agreed with him, "Yeah. I don't think I should have connections with Clarence. He's in showbiz and is popular among the paparazzi. It's quite dangerous to be with him."
Drake handed her the phone with doubt in his eyes.
Angelo got nervous. She leaned her head on his arm and blocked her face.
"Please forgive me, Drake. I'll be sad if you don't forgive me." Somehow, she choked while speaking. Bitter welled up from her heart, so as the tears.
Drake finally softened and sighed, "I never blamed you."
Angelo stayed and rolled her eyes in a daze, but she felt so complicated.
"Really?" She whispered and slowly turned to look at him. Drake nodded to confirm his answer.
"I knew you wouldn't blame me!" Angelo cheered up and looked delighted. She was still acting but with more sincerity.
At dinner time, Angelo arrived at the dining hall first.
Zoey was surprised to see her there, "How come you're here since you're in confinement?"
"Do you want to starve me?" Angelo smiled. She could sit here because Drake had allowed her to go out.

Zoey was surprised that Angelo apologized so soon. It was like she apologized right after the quarrel.
Patrick was also stunned when he saw Angelo, but he soon thought it through. Without saying anything, he sat down to eat.
Angelo felt that Patrick seemed to have changed. One of his changes was that he didn't go out for girls.
She had been busy and didn't pay much attention to him, but every day she came home, she could see Patrick.
And his impression also changed. He didn't look like a playboy now but looked calmer and steadier.
What made him change?
Angelo kept thinking about it but got no clue, so she finally dropped it.
At night, she got a message while she was about to go to bed. The addresser was Patrick, and the receiver was… Angeline!
Angelo had two phone numbers. She switched the number while she changed her identity. After calling Clarence as Angeline today, she forgot to take the phone card out. So she could get the message from Patrick now.
Angelo clicked to check it. It turned out that Patrick invited her for a meeting.
In the message, Patrick didn't call her "goddess" anymore but used her name, which was different from before.
Angelo thought about it and refused Patrick. Angeline was a star on focus now. She'd better not meet people casually, especially Patrick.
Before, Patrick had tried so hard to look for her. Everyone knew he had a crush on her. Later, when she engaged with Drake, people all joked that the girl Patrick loved became his sister-in-law.
Angelo heard about it but ignored it. With Patrick's personality, she thought he would forget her soon. Besides, she had engaged to Drake, and he couldn't love her.
But now, Drake broke off the engagement.
The phone beep drew Angelo back from her thoughts. It was a message from Patrick again.

"I know you don't want much attention. But I really want to see you. The last meeting before I give you up, okay?"
Angelo stared at it for a while. She knew she couldn't do it, but Patrick was so pathetic. He had never been so humble. After thinking for a while, she finally agreed.
They were appointed to meet at a coffee shop. Even if people saw them, it would not be a big deal. After all, the coffee shop was a public place. She didn't think someone would ruminate with that.
The following day, Angelo told Hale that she would go to Angeline. Hale hesitated.
At this point, Drake showed up and asked the driver to send Angelo there.
Outside Green, Angelo got out of the car and then saw Daisy waiting for her.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Daisy didn't dare speak up until they entered the house, "I thought you're going to die this time. It was such a big wave on the Internet. I didn't expect you to come out today. And the driver sent you here."
"I have a good brother, you know. He always take good care of me,"
The rumor broke up all of a sudden but disappeared suddenly.
When Angelo checked Twitter today, she found that all the defamatory comments had disappeared, leaving only clarifications and apologies.
Besides that, Angelo saw something different. Some people supported Angelo and Clarence to be together.
Angelo felt helpless. She used to be afraid of having any connections with Clarence. But now, some people supported them publicly.
"By the way, I heard that yesterday, Christina was…." Daisy suddenly uttered.
"Christina?" Angelo was surprised. She hadn't seen Christina for a while.
"What's wrong with her?"
"It seems that you haven't heard her," sighed Daisy.
She lowered her voice even if there were only the two of them in the house, "I don't know if it's true or not that someone took Christina away quietly yesterday. When her family found her, she was naked, looking like she was…."
Angelo couldn't help widening her eyes and said in disbelief, "No! How could that happen without being discovered?"
"I'm not sure. But people are all talking about it."
For Daisy's words, Angelo couldn't believe it. Who dared to do that to Christina? Did the man want to die?

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
