After a moment of strained silence, Christopher reluctantly muttered, “Sorry”
“Who are you apologizing to?” Angela feigned puzzlement and furrowed her brow.
Christopher’s face twisted, and he fell silent for a moment. He glared fiercely at the audacious Angela as if he had never seen her act this way before.
Although Simon’s face was innocent, like that of a youth, his martial arts skills created a stark contrast. When he acted, he didn’t even blink.
When Christopher fell silent for a while, Simon’s hand suddenly moved and swiftly twisted the former’s wrist. Instantly. Christopher’s wrist turned a horrifying shade of blue, as if it might snap at any moment.
“Mrs. Lawson. I was wrong! It was me… I was confused and talked gibberish. Please, don’t hold it against me,” he pleaded. His face turned pale as he begged for forgiveness.
Angela cast a glance at Christopher before letting out a soft chuckle. “I’ll let it slide this time. but remember to show respect next time we meet.”
Only then did Jonathan signal for Simon to release his grip. He fixed a cold stare on Christopher with his dark eyes and calmly stated, “If there’s a next time, you’ll regret
it.”
Christopher grimaced as he rubbed his swollen wrist, with a mix of resentment and fear in his eyes. Finally, he forced out a few words through clenched teeth, “Yes, Jonathan, I won’t dare again.”
At that moment, Michael’s assistant rushed over anxiously. “Master Jonathan, Mr. Sanders is requesting your presence in his office. He mentioned a matter that requires your attention.”
Jonathan’s icy demeanor caught the assistant off guard, causing his heart to skip a beat, fearing he had misspoken.
Fortunately, Michael had noticed the altercation between Jonathan and Christopher, prompting him to
all the assistant over urgently. Otherwise, the consequences could have
been dire if he had arrived a moment too late..
Christopher was not oblivious to his father’s intentions.
“Jonathan. I’ll take my leave.”

He then placed a hand on Angela’s shoulder and guided her into the office.
As Christopher departed, he cast a glance at their retreating figures, rubbed his sore shoulder with a cold expression, and instructed Michael’s assistant in a less–than–friendly tone. “Lead the way.”
The two entered the office together, and before Angela could speak, she noticed a wornan standing by the window.
In the next moment, the woman’s gentle and pleasing voice sounded, “Mr. Lawson has visitors? It seems we won’t be able to have our discussion today?”
The woman looked elegant and graceful, with her simple beauty drawing everyone’s gaze. Her hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders, framing her figure nicely. She wore a nicely fitted dress that showed off her curves, and her smile was warm and charming. Overall, she was really beautiful and caught everyone’s eye.
Surely, this must be Cassandra Hayes.
Angela felt a flutter in her heart as she gazed directly at Cassandra. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of person could ultimately gain the approval of the patriarchs from both the Sanders and Lawson Families and marry Jonathan would look like
She had to admit that Cassandra was truly outstanding, beautiful, capable, and hailed from a prestigious family. It seemed like she was blessed by the heavens because she was similar to Jonathan.
However, Angela subconsciously pinched the strap of her meal box. Oh no, she only brought enough food for one person, but not for Cassandra.
Jonathan glanced at the stunned Angela, and his brow furrowed slightly. Is she suspecting Cassandra and I are having some shady affair?
In the next moment, he put his arm around Angela and led her toward Cassandra
What is he doing? Angela felt a moment of panic and nervously glanced up at Jonathan.
With his arm around her, he introduced softly, “Miss Hayes, this is my wife, Mrs. Angela
Lawson.”
Then, he leaned in slightly and whispered in Angela’s ear, “Angela, this is Miss Cassandra Hayes. We were just discussing a project collaboration.”
Upon hearing his words, there was a glint in her eyes. Although Jonathan remained composed, he seemed to have blurted out everything before she had even asked a question,

as if fearing she might misunderstand something.
Cassandra smiled slightly. “Mrs. Lawson, nice to meet you. I’ve long heard about the strong bond between you and Mr. Lawson, and seeing you both today confirms it.”
She had always thought that someone like Jonathan would prefer someone intellectual and gentle, like herself. But why was he drawn to a girl nearly the same age as his Cassic?
Cassandra’s gaze swept back and forth over Angela, hoping to discern any outstanding. qualities in her. But aside from her lovely face, she couldn’t find anything remarkable.
Maybe Jonathan is simply indulging in novelty for the moment. After all, girls of her age are full of youthfulness, and thich man wouldn’t be attracted to someone younger?
However, she suspected that once Jonathan grew tired of the novelty, he would naturally cast it aside.
It’s a pity that this young girl is ignorant and naive and thinks that people of their status can have a pure marriage.
Since she was Cassie’s sister, Angela couldn’t help but feel a mixture of curiosity and respect. “Hello, Sister Hayes. I’ve heard so much about you.”
Sister?
Cassandra’s graceful expression faltered for a moment. Was this girl flaunting her youth?
She’s really just a young girl. We’ve just met, and she can’t help herself.
Cassandra smiled faintly, nodded in acknowledgment, and then looked at Jonathan, “Mr. Lawson, I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave you two alone.”
She was a smart person and she immediately noticed the lunchbox in Angela’s hand. She deduced that the latter had come to the company to deliver lunch to Jonathan. If she hadn’t been observant, their conversation might have been ruined before it even began.
With a slight nod, Jonathan silently agreed..
As Cassandra’s figure receded into the distance, Angela finally averted her gaze.
Unable to control herself, she blurted out, “She has a sister named Cassie Hayes, who’s my friend and in the same grade as me. Cassie has talked about her sister a lot and really admires her. I never expected to meet her today.”
Angela talked for a bit but didn’t hear any response from him. She couldn’t help but glance.

over, looking puzzled. “Is something wrong?”
With his hands in his pockets, Jonathan stepped back a bit and then looked at her. He smiled lightly and said. “Do you need a reminder of your current status? Can’t you see? She’s trying to get my attention. Is this how you handle competition? Hmm, Mrs. Lawson?”
That last word made Angela feel uneasy.
Quickly realizing the situation, she remembered. “Oh right, right, I’m Mrs. Lawson now. I need to show affection as a married couple in front of others!”
With another woman present, she needed to assert her possessiveness and declare war on any other women!
Angela coughed and carefully brought out the medicinal food she had prepared and pushed it toward Jonathan with a friendly tone. “I know, it’s all about my trust in you, right? Jonathan, I made this lunch for you. Eat it while it’s still warm.”
