Angela's frustratement
Meanwhile in Crepuscule, Angela is about to start working when she sees Navarus and his secretary, Sylvia entering her house. Navarus tells her that he has come to search for his son, Setz.

Navarus doesn't deny it and announces her that he will be expecting some good news from her soon and threatens her physical integrity in case it takes her too much time. This causes Angela to hit her hand furiously on her desk and Navarus turns to leave. Angela then asks him whether he would agree to leave Setz under her care. He refuses claiming that there is a job Setz has to do by his side and leaves from the house.
