She looked at the indignant Christopher and gradually figured out what was the current. situation. First
of all, Michael and his son seem to think she was behind Jonathan ‘s actions. This assumption needs
to be clarified as while she may employ strategies to deal with Fanny and fight back without hesitation,
she would not have Jonathan to carry out these actions.
After Christopher finished expressing his anger toward her, Michael stepped in to mediate. He
reprimanded him for his ill–mannered attitude toward a guest and then looked at Angela, saying, “I’m
sorry for my son’s bad mannerism. However, some of the things he said were right.
Jon is a man who is in charge of big scale businesses, and those power should not be used on petty
personal grievances toward a woman like Fanny.”
So, you were on your son’s side, huh? she thought while sneering inwardly.
These two fathers and sons really hold me in high regard. Did I appear to be the type of person who
would enlist Jonathan’s help with such petty matters?
To be honest, she did not anticipate that Jonathan would assist her in Fanny’s matter.
However, after some serious consideration, she felt that Jonathan was not the type to involve himself in
such trivial matters.
He was aware of the discord between Fanny and I, yet he had never used his influence to suppress
Fanny. Otherwise, how could Fanny have successfully become engaged to Christopher? Perhaps he
has ulterior motives for his action this time.
Angela had not yet deciphered the situation when she heard Christopher sneer, “What can’t you defend
yourself when the truth hits home? I’ve always expressed my concern to Jonathan about marrying awoman like you who will always be plotting and scheming, potentially leading both the Senders and
Lawson families astray in the future.”
Angela uncontrollably rolled her eyes as Christopher held a high opinion of her.
Nevertheless, she was not one to be trifled with. While respecting her elders and being courteous to
Michael, she saw no reason to maintain politeness in the face of Christopher‘ bullying and insults.
Thus, Angela coldly remarked, “Speaking of which, wasn’t it you who came seeking a favor? Yet, I
detect no sincerity in your demeanor. In that case, I believe our conversation has reached its
conclusion.”

With that, Angela rose and addressed Michael, “I apologize, but I must take my leave.”
Naturally, Michael attempted to dissuade her, “No, please let Christopher apologize to you. Regarding
this matter, my suggestion is that Jon has much on his plate, so let’s not burden him with this.”
noveldramaAngela maintained a smile, clutching her purse, and appeared in a polite manner. “Of course. However,
I’m truly unaware of this matter. As Jonathan’s father, your words undoubtedly carry
more weight than mine, so why not discuss it with him directly?”
Michael’s face darkened in a split second. He did not relish confronting his eldest son’s stoic demeanor,

father and son and promptly took her leave, returning home.
Jesting aside, if Jonathan took action, he must have had his reasons, and she saw no need to aid
others in undermining him. The tension between the Sanders father and son escalated as Angela
departed.
Christopher acknowledged his impulsive behavior earlier, yet he remained steadfast in his convictions.
“Dad, Angela is attempting to exploit us. No matter how kindly we approach her. she will not agree to
assist.”

Michael shot him a cold glance. “I cautioned you countless times on way here to control your temper.
How did you respond? What’s amiss with Angela? She’s a fine young woman. Why can’t you see
that?”
He turned away with a look of disgust. “Your mind is clouded with nonsense. All you can see is Fanny.
Let me make this clear. If you interfere between Miss Martinez and I, you’re out of the Sanders Family.”
With those words, Michael rose angrily and stormed out of the roof.
Christopher quickly followed, “Dad, what’s our next move? Dad, wait for me. Dad!”
Michael and his son had no choice but to approach Jonathan directly as they failed to convince him
through Angela. They had hoped to keep him in the dark about the situation, but now they had to come
clean to him.
Angela remained silent in front of Jonathan. She sensed that he had intentionally kept her in the dark,
so she tactfully refrained from revealing the truth. Upon hearing the news,173% 12:11

Jonathan frowned and stayed silent for a while.

Although Christopher could be bold and loud in front of Angela, but he dared not utter a word in the
presence of Jonathan.
Observing his eldest son’s grave expression, Michael could not help but feel anxious. “Jon, maybe we
should let this go. Pushing too hard on this matter might backfire, and none of us will benefit.”
Jonathan’s piercing gaze fell on Christopher, who averted his eyes and avoided his stare.
“Let’s leave it at that for now. Michael, regardless of you guys‘ relationship in the future, keep an eye on
him, or it won’t end well next time,”
Christopher felt a pang of guilt and quickly assured, “Yes, Jonathan, you can count on me. I will clarify
things.”
Jonathan nodded slightly and returned to his work.
After some contemplation, Christopher gathered his courage and inquired, “So, Jonathan, what’s our
next step?”
Jonathan looked at him with confusion. “What do you mean?”“You let Fanny off the hook, right?” Christopher felt uneasy under his intense gaze. “There should be
some sort of agreement as Fanny is being slandered in the media.”
Jonathan snorted. “I agreed not to pursue this further, but that doesn’t mean I will assist her. I won’t
intervene in your actions, but I won’t offer any help either.”
Michael understood that this was Jonathan’s borderline and pushing further would worsen the situation.
He immediately nodded as a response. “Understood, we’ll handle the rest.”
Christopher felt anxious after leaving Jonathan’s office. “Dad, our usual methods won’t work anymore,
and the situation is even more dire this time. Even without Jonathan’s involvement, we may be unable
to resolve it.”
Having worked alongside his father on numerous occasions, he had a sense of the gravity of the
situation.
Michael glared at him, feeling a surge of anger. “What do you suggest then? If you provoke Jonathan
further, who will rescue her?”

Following behind Michael, he asked, “Dad, what’s our plan now? How can we help Fanny clear her
name this time? Gossip can be incredibly damaging sometimes.”
