Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 415

Felix was frustrated.

Once Angela stepped out of the living room, she found Cecilia waiting for her in the courtyard.

Angela barely had any interactions with her. Despite Cecilia's cheerful demeanor, she was actually just as scheming as Ursula. This made it hard for Angela to feel any fondness toward her.

"Cecilia, is there something you need?" Angela asked with a smile as she approached.

Cecilia casually grabbed Angela's arm and led her for a walk around the courtyard. "Angela, our school is celebrating its homecoming event next week, and many famous alumni will be attending. Could you come too? Think of it as a chance to make some new friends."

Angela was momentarily stunned.

Cecilia was currently at high school. If Angela remembered correctly, her school was Westbridge High School. The school had a long history of producing talented individuals, including exceptionally gifted graduates like Dexter and Mateo.

"It wouldn't be very appropriate for me to attend, would it? They didn't invite me, after all." Angela refused. Yet, she was already weighing the potential benefits of going.

Cecilia actually had a point. Events like this provided excellent opportunities for business networking. Some people struggled to even enter.

"It's fine. If anyone asks, I'll just say you're my guardian. That should be acceptable, right?" Cecilia said with a smile.

Angela was amused. "Why don't you invite Mateo instead? He's much more impressive than I am. And what about Uncle Miles and Aunt Ursula? Aren't they your actual guardians?"

Cecilia gave an awkward smile, rubbing her nose in embarrassment. "Well... my scores on this month's exams weren't great. If they go, they'll definitely chat with my teachers, and then I'll be put under strict supervision again. I'll lose all my freedom."

So that was the reason. Yet, Angela didn't really care why Cecilia wasn't inviting Ursula and the others. She was actually quite interested in attending such an event since it would help expand and solidify her own network. As for everything else, that didn't matter to her.
