Chapter 1010: A Substitute

Angela's face flushed even deeper.

Before the two could continue discussing the wedding plans, she hurriedly fled the

scene.

Brandon, about to follow her, gave Tina a discreet thumbs-up. "If this wedding goes smoothly, the credit will all be yours."

Tina smiled. If Brandon and Aunt Angela truly managed to pull off this wedding, she'd gladly accept the credit.

And she wasn't lying earlier-Aunt Angela usually dressed in dark tones, but her naturally pale complexion and jet-black hair made her look striking in red. It wasn't just elegance; it was commanding.

The Backyard

Master Tam had just returned from the front hall. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Tina sitting at the stone table outside. It was obvious she was waiting for him.

He frowned slightly and couldn't help but scold, "You reckless girl. You know your health, and yet you're sitting out here in the night breeze. Aren't you worried Jared will worry himself sick?"

Tina poured a cup of tea and placed it across from her. She had no intention of drinking it herself. Instead, she gestured with her chin. "Uncle's making me a late-night snack. He'll be here soon."

couldn't stop her-let alone her devoted fiancé, whose entire focus was on her.

Sitting down, Master Tam took a sip of the warm tea before asking, "What's wrong?" "Claudia's disappeared," Tina said calmly.

Her words stunned Master Tam. His brows furrowed deeply. "Disappeared? Didn't you capture her after gravely injuring her?"

"To be precise, she was swallowed by the array. She became the first sacrificial offering. We didn't even get a chance to intervene."
