Chapter 5
Angela had just gotten out of the car and steadied herself when the black Cullinan drove off without any hesitation, leaving her in a cloud of dust.
She stood there in a daze for a moment before letting out a self-deprecating laugh and thought, "That's right. He's always been like this."
But before she had time to dwell on her misery, her phone rang urgently. Angela took out her phone and saw that it was an unknown number.
"Hello, is this Ms. Graham? I'm the property manager for Villa Heights. I'm calling to confirm if your property has been sold."
"Why do you ask?" Angela's heart skipped a beat.
Over the years, she had managed the property, so the contact information listed was hers.
However, when Marie had passed away, she had been too young. So, Bill had put all of Marie's assets under his name.
When Angela had been young, he had used to say to her, "When you grow up and find your Prince Charming, I'll turn this house into a castle for you both to live in happily ever after!"
But in just a few years, everything had completely changed for the Graham family. Angela sometimes wondered if Bill was still the same father who used to love her mother dearly and cherish her.
Whenever Bill hadn't been home, Judy hadn't allowed Angela to eat at the table. She had come up with the excuse that girls needed to stay in shape and had made Angela go hungry several times a day.
Apart from her outerwear, her clothes had always been too short. The freezing winter wind would seep right into her sleeves and chill her to the core.
Angela had developed arthritis at a young age, yet Judy had always complained to Bill, saying, "I don't know what else to do! I pamper her, but she's never satisfied. She's always complaining of feeling pain here and there. Anyone who didn't know better would think I'm mistreating her!"
Upon hearing that, Bill had responded furiously, "Can't you let us have some peace, Angela?"
