Chapter 158 You’re Courting Death!
On the couch next to him, there were several elderly individuals and a few elegantly dressed
women.
They appeared to be relatives from the Sanders Family’s collateral branches.
She had not seen them before.
Angela obediently followed Jonathan and entered with him.
Upon their arrival, everyone greeted them with smiles.
Angela responded gracefully to each greeting.
Jonathan remained silent, holding Angela’s hand with a cold expression as he sat next to Old Mr. Sanders, exuding a sense of disdain.
On the other side of Old Mr. Sanders sat Michael and Teresa.
Jonathan did not even acknowledge the two.
Michael’s expression turned dark as he looked at Jonathan with disdain. He was about to express his anger when his arm was lightly touched. Turning his head, he saw Teresa signaling him to remain calm.
Michael patted her hand, and his anger dissipated somewhat.
Old Mr. Sanders gazed at Angela, noting her round face and healthy complexion, with a few deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. In a steady voice tinged with affection, he said, “Angela, these are your family members. Today, we are here to formally introduce the members of the Sanders Family to you. They are all family, so do not feel restrained. If you need anything, just let me know.”
“I won’t hesitate, Grandpa.”
Angela’s face lit up with a bright smile, her eyes shining.
Suddenly, Jonathan’s mocking voice broke the silence, cool and faint. “Grandpa, not everyone here is family.”
Though his voice was not loud, it resonated clearly with everyone present, indicating whom he was referring to.

The atmosphere in the living room seemed to freeze, with all eyes turning to Teresa.
Teresa’s face quickly paled as she lowered her head gently.
The anger that had dissipated in Michael was reignited. “You

Teresa covered her lips and chuckled softly, though a keen observer might detect a hint of insincerity beneath her well–maintained, gentle facade.
She then opened the blue purse she carried and retrieved a square velvet box. “Fanny, this is a gift specially prepared for you. It was meant to be given to you at your engagement ceremony with Christopher.
“Unfortunately, I was unwell at the time and couldn’t attend. So, I am taking this opportunity. today to give it to you.”
Fanny accepted it graciously. “Thank you, Ms. Webb.”
“Open it and see if you like it.” Teresa smiled.
“Okay.” Fanny opened the box, revealing a pair of high–quality white jade bangles.
The bangles gleamed and felt warm to the touch. Fanny’s eyes sparkled. Although she wasn’t knowledgeable about jade, she could sense its value.
Fanny felt the admiring gazes of those around her.
In that moment, she felt as though they were treating her as the future mistress of the Sanders family.
She held the box tightly and exclaimed, “Thank you, Ms. Webb. These white jade bangles are exquisite. I adore them.”
Upon hearing the words “white jade bangles,” Jonathan, who was holding Angela’s hand, narrowed his eyes.
Glancing over, the contents of the box became clear.
Suddenly, a coldness filled the air, and Jonathan sat up straight, his voice cutting through the harmonious atmosphere. “Teresa, you’re courting death!”

Angela furrowed her brows, feeling a surge of anger rising within her.

Teresa paled in shock, looking frantically at Michael.
Old Mr. Sanders‘ face darkened, and his gaze was serious. “What is going on? Is this something of Elisa’s?”

Michael slammed the table and stood up, rebuking. “You took away your mother’s things long ago. This is something I gave to her, and it has nothing to do with her.”
Jonathan coldly ordered. “Simon.”
Simon, who had been waiting outside the living room, quickly walked in and stood in front of Fanny, who instinctively tightened her bangles.
Simon acted decisively, snatching the bangles and presenting them to Jonathan.
Fanny’s eyes quickly filled with tears of grievance. “Christopher…”
Christopher’s lips tightened as he comfortingly grabbed her hand.
Jonathan held up the jade bangles, facing the light.
The jade bangles, in the midst of all the gazes, instantly shone brightly, like a dazzling starlight in the darkness.
At the same time, the word “Elisa” appeared inside the jade bangles.
Michael’s face changed drastically. “It’s impossible. You clearly took all your mother’s things. These bangles are mine.”
As he spoke, he suddenly realized.
These bangles were something he had accidentally found in the Sanders Mansion. He thought it was beautiful and deliberately brought it back to give to Teresa.
He never expected it to be something left behind by Elisa.
The corners of Jonathan’s eyes were hooked, his gaze wild and ruthless, staring straight at Michael, who suddenly felt guilty and cold.
How could this son of mine resemble me at all?

In the moment of his speechlessness, Teresa took a step forward, her shoulders trembling slightly, and sincerely said, “Jonathan, I am very sorry. Don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to. I just

thought these bangles were very nice. I didn’t know it was your mother’s heirloom.
At this moment, seeing the careful look of Teresa by his side, Michael was suddenly filled with anger. “It’s just bangles. Your mother has so much gold and silver jewelry. It’s merely giving it to Christopher’s wife. What’s the big deal?
“Is it worth speaking to your elders like this? You’ve ruined the atmosphere.”
Teresa reached out her hand to pull Michael, tears glistening and falling from her eyes. “Michael, please stop. Don’t let this affect the harmony between you and your son.”
“This boy has never treated me as a father. I’m still alive. You are my wife, and you are his elder! It’s only natural for you to be here. You don’t have to be so submissive to him.”
Angela silently clenched her teeth.
Angry and heartbroken.
She understood this feeling too well. It wasn’t Jonathan’s fault, but it felt as if he was the one to blame for everything.
