The next morning, as Angela came downstairs from her room, she spotted a cheerful Bruce. sitting there.
Jonathan was seated across from him, his gaze slightly lowered, with a smoothly curved. profile.
Upon catching sight of Angela, Bruce’s smile stretched even wider. He waved enthusiastically and called out, “Angela, good morning! Did you have a good sleep last night?”
Returning his warm smile, Angela replied, “Old Mr. Lawson. I slept like a log. What brings you here so early today?”
“Hehe… I came to check on how you and Jonathan are doing these days.”
His intentions were clear, and Angela didn’t want to give anything away. She simply blushed slightly and lowered her voice. “Old Mr. Lawson, we’re doing fine.”
Taking note of her reaction, Bruce assumed she was feeling a bit shy.
He chuckled even louder as if picturing himself strolling around next year with a chubby baby in his arms.
Bruce patted the seat next to him. “Angela, come sit here and chat with me.”
Just as she was about to step over, Jonathan glanced at the time, lifted his gaze, and said calmly, “Grandpa, it’s time for Angela to go to class.”
Bruce shot him a glare and retorted, “I timed my visit perfectly. It’s still early”
Quickly, Angela reassured. Jonathan, it’s okay. I don’t have any important class this morning.
Bruce finally let Jonathan go and resumed conversing with Angela, even reasing her about being bullied by Jonathan.
During his conversation, he completely disregarded Jonathan, his own grandson.
Angela repeatedly assured Bruce that Jonathan was very kind to her, so they proceeded to the dining hall for breakfast together.
The trio sat joyfully at the table, and Ms. May’s culinary skills had notably improved.

Bruce was highly pleased with Ms. May and promptly presented her with a money packet. He praised her for looking after the young couple.
Ms. May accepted it with a heart full of gratitude.
Angela noticed a thick stack of money packets in Bruce’s pocket.
She blinked in surprise and inquired, “Old Mr. Lawson, why do you carry so many money packets with you! Today is not a special day.”
Across from her, Jonathan’s dark eyes met Angela’s, and a subtle smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
“After we got engaged, Grandpa began distributing them to everyone he encountered.”
Bruce chuckled. “Such great joy should be shared with many.”
Some old friends whom he hadn’t had the chance to see were also informed of this news, and he even said that now they could share the joy of money packets, but in the future, when the two of them got married, they couldn’t be stingy and should reciprocate a bigger one.
Angela glanced at Bruce, then at Jonathan, and softly chuckled.
After dinner, Jonathan happened to be heading to the company.
He offered to drop Angela off at school despite it not being on the way. Angela didn’t decline. so as not to give Bruce the impression they were overly formal as a “young couple.”
Thus, under Bruce’s approving gaze, the two of them entered the car.
As they drove, Angela gazed out the window at the passing scenery until Jonathan’s voice interrupted.
“Close the window and keep warm. It’s chilly this morning. Don’t want you to catch a cold.”
She immediately obediently closed it and then looked out through the car window. Along the way, they passed several places, which were the construction sites of future large shopping malls and commercial buildings.
Angela turned to look at Jonathan and asked, “Jonathan, have you acquired extra properties. or land?”
He gave her a curious look. “You seem quite interested in that?”

He remembered she had brought it up on more than one occasion.
“It’s not really about that. I just think the real estate industry will definitely be lucrative in the
ature,” she said.
As her words trailed off, Jonathan fell silent for a moment before replying, “Yes.”
It wasn’t necessarily because of her words; his original plan was to venture into the real estate.

Recently, he had also acquired land and properties in Riverdon and its vicinity.
As they conversed, the car had already arrived.
Angela waved goodbye to him as she got out of the car.
Jonathan lowered the car window. “I’ll pick you up
this afternoon
She didn’t refuse and crisply replied, “Okay.”
The car made a U–turn and drove off in the opposite direction.
Having adjusted her white coat, she began walking toward the school.
After taking a few steps, her phone suddenly vibrated with a text message.
She opened it and saw a message from Oliver.
Oliver: Mrs. Lawson, someone is following you in the ten o’clock direction. Should I take care
of it?
I’m being followed?
Angela discreetly put away her phone, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure. She looked up and saw Stella hiding behind a big tree outside the school gate.
Stella was acting sneakily, holding a camera and taking pictures of her.
Angela narrowed her eyes and walked over with a smirk.
When Stella realized she had been caught red–handed, it was too late to escape. Angela grabbed her wrist, and with her other hand, she managed to snatch away the camera while. the former struggled.
Stella struggled even more intensely, feeling like her body was behaving strangely, as if she

Though Angela was only holding onto her wrist, the latter felt unbearable moved. It felt as if she had been pinched at some pressure point.
Angela calmly looked through the pictures on the camera,

She chuckled lightly and said, “Your habit of secretly taking photos of people isn’t good. You should work on changing it.
“W–what do you mean?” Stella asked, and her eyes widened upon sensing that something. ominous was going to happen.
The next moment, she saw Angela take something out of her bag and sprinkle it on her face.
It felt cool and slightly stinging.
Stella screamed. “Ah, you splashed sulfuric acid on me! Help, someone…
As she screamed, she felt something was wrong.
She touched her face and felt a liquid like water, with no particular smell.
Angela laughed recklessly. “Aren’t you shameless? What are you afraid of?”
“You, you… you tricked me! Angela, this isn’t over between us.”
“The tool of the crime belongs to me now.”
Angela lifted the camera and tucked it into her bag, then turned to leave.
Stella yelled after her. “Who gave you the right to take my camera? Angela, have you gone

She had bought it specifically to monitor Angela’s every move at school for Fanny, and it cost her three thousand dollars!

“Otherwise… should we get the involved in your little problem with snapping pictures of me without permission?”
Stella’s face turned pale. “You wouldn’t dare!”
“Wanna bet? You’ll find out if I have the guts or not,” said Angela, and she reached for her

Riverdon University placed the utmost emphasis on students‘ morals. While secretly snapping photos wasn’t a major offense, if it attracted the attention of the police and caused a commotion, it would become serious.
Upon seeing that Stella was weighing the consequences, Angela smirked and left.
To solve a problem, one needed to tackle it head–on. Knowing that Stella valued her belongings the most, Angela taught her a lesson by taking away her cherished possessions.
On this calm morning at Riverdon University, a ridiculous incident occurred.
Stella’s face suddenly turned green on her way to class!
Amidst the laughter, she quickly pulled out a mirror. In the reflection, her entire face was
green.
She looked like a female version of a green monster, which scared her enough to toss the
mirror away.
Curious classmates gathered around her like spectators at a circus, and someone snapped a picture of her green face and posted it on the school forum.
At lunchtime, Angela quietly ate in the cafeteria while secretly enjoying Stella’s new look.
It was the potion she had researched before, with its properties being colorless and tasteless. just like water. But once it touched the skin and was exposed to the air, it would turn green within three hours.
It wouldn’t go away fogat least ten days.
For the next few days, Stella won’t be roaming around the school, and she will not be able to secretly snap photos of me, Angela thought wickedly.
