Novel1Chapter 319 Angela had a feeling that Riley was going to trouble them.
"Ms. Graham, I recognize you." Riley extended her hand, and Angela shook it without hesitation.
"Oh?" Angela lifted an eyebrow, her response neutral.
"Your story is the perfect example of an underdog's success story-everyone in our circle talks about it with great interest. They all praise you for being capable and knowing exactly how to hold onto a man's heart.
"I didn't expect that you not only won your own battle but also trained a fine student. You two really are the perfect pair of best friends." Riley's smile was anything but warm. It was obvious she wasn't friendly toward Angela-she even carried a hint of hostility.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was the adopted daughter of Florence's brother and had been raised abroad. Riley had always been the daughter-in-law Florence wanted.
Because of that connection, Riley had had feelings for Zayn since childhood. As she had grown up, her feelings had remained unchanged. She had been waiting to finish her studies and return to marry him.
Yet, after just a year and a half away, she had found out that Zayn had gotten engaged to another woman and even gotten her pregnant.
The shock had hit Riley hard, and she had immediately rushed back. She had then learned everything about Zayn and Mia from Florence.
That was how Riley first got to know about Mia and Angela. Over time, she had sought out multiple opportunities to observe Mia and even openly provoked her more than once.
She had assumed Mia would react aggressively and lose control the moment they met.
Yet, despite all her provocations, Mia remained indifferent. She even graciously allowed Riley to go meet Zayn and asked the latter to stop wasting her time.
This, of course, infuriated Riley, but with nowhere to vent her anger, she had been forced to suppress it. And now, by sheer bad luck, they had run into each other here.
"Thanks for the compliment, Ms. Zamora." Angela scoffed, clearly unfazed by Riley's sarcastic remarks.
It would only be a waste of tto be bothered by such irrelevant people.
"Forget it. Let's eat somewhere else." Zack snorted, turning to leave.
"Why should we? We're eating here." Angela grabbed his arm. "It's just a meal- are you really going to lose your appetite over a barking dog?" Zack took a second to process her words before realizing Angela had just called Riley a barking dog. He burst out laughing.

Peggy wasn't done as she aimed another kick at Mia.
Angela snapped coldly, "Where did this crazy little brat cfrom? What kind of person would bring such an ill-mannered brat out?" Jumping up in fright, Peggy immediately hid behind Riley. "Aunt Riley, save me! That bad woman is so mean!"
"Ms. Graham, Peggy's just young and immature. There's no need for you to stoop to her level, is there? Riley to her level!! sheered. "I never thought you would be so petty. I wonder what exactly it is about you that nov captivated Dexter so much.
"Me? Petty?" Angela looked amused as if Riley had just told a ridiculous joke.
"And did you say she's just young and immature?" Those words were way too familiar and utterly infuriating.
Riley's expression faltered slightly, becoming awkward. "Isn't she?"
Angela brushed the invisible dirt off her hands. "Well, if that's how you! want to play it, I'm actually thrilled. Zack?"
"Got it!" Zack immediately put on a goofy, childish grin. "Angie, I could tell that she's she's a bad woman right away, and she even picked on you! I'll avenge you!"
