Upon seeing the look in Angelina's eyes, Jeremy couldn't help but frown.
'What is wrong with her?' Jeremy silently thought.
Even if he didn't have the full picture, Jeremy didn't want it to escalate any further. He also didn't want his parents to know about it right then.
Before anything else, he had to discuss this matter with his father.
Although Belinda had been getting better since this girl whom they thought was Camelia came back, her body might not be able to handle such big news.
Hence, Jeremy thought that he should really think about the consequences of this matter blew up.
He had already decided that whatever he would do, he had to minimize the harm that might come out of it.
Otherwise...
Thinking about the implications, Jeremy closed his eyes for a while. He couldn't imagine how furious Belinda might be if she found out about it.
It would be better not to tell her about it right then.
He then turned to Angelina and softly said, "I will send you abroad in a few days. I will also transfer some money to your bank account. Don't come back unless it's absolutely necessary. More importantly, if Mom and Dad ask you, tell them that you just want to go abroad and that's it.
You can go now. Someone will pick you up tomorrow. You can pack your things tonight."
Then, he turned around as if he didn't want to see Angelina anymore.
Because of what he said, Angelina collapsed to the floor. At that point, she didn't know how to react or what to do.
"Jeremy, no, you can't do this to me!" Angelina begged him while pulling on his sleeves.
"I may not be your sister, but we've lived together for so many years. Please don't do this to me, Brother!"
Angelina continued to beg while staring at Jeremy.
Jeremy finally looked back at her, looking extremely disappointed. "Didn't you understand anything that I said?
I'm furious. It's not just because you pretended to be the daughter of the Gu family. It's the fact that you knew and you didn't even care to tell me about it. Why did you keep it from me for so long?"
"I can explain it. I didn't mean to do it on purpose.
I only found o
here right now,"
Jeremy then turned away, ignoring Angelina.
"Jeremy, don't you understand? I really do like you. After five years of being with you, I've known you so well. I know what you like to eat and what you don't like. If we just try—"
"No, we can't!"
Jeremy exclaimed before she could even finish talking.
Jeremy just couldn't understand why Angelina would have such an idea.
Did he go too far in treating her well? Or did he do something that made Angelina misunderstand his intentions?
In his perspective, he simply treated Angelina as his sister over the years. He never thought that she would develop feelings for him.
"What are the two of you talking about?"
Just when Jeremy was about to throw Angelina out, Belinda's voice resounded from the door.
She sounded like she was trembling.
Jeremy quickly turned around, looking at his parents who suddenly appeared by the door. He quickly approached them and asked, "Dad, Mom, when did you get here?"
Belinda did not answer Jeremy's question. She just looked at him and Angelina and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
For some reason, Belinda did not direct her question at Angelina.
Jeremy didn't know how long his parents had been standing there, and he didn't know how much of his conversation with Angelina they had heard.
But one thing was for sure. He didn't want his mother to know about everything just yet.
