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.

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."

Tina was telling the truth.
