When he returned to Springgate Estates, Jonathan retrieved the medicine box to tend to Angela. As he observed the bruises on her shoulders and arms, his gaze turned icy.
When she sensed the chill creeping up behind her, Angela remained still and silent as she acknowledged her mistake this time.
With her head bowed, Angela endured the pain, and she was determined to persevere.
“I’ll have May prepare some soothing soup for you.” Jonathan assisted Angela in lying down. He tucked her in and spoke in a gentle tone, “You’ve had a long day: rest well.”
Angela Kins watched as Jonathan closed the door softly. She obediently nodded like a docile rabbit. Jonathan proceeded to the study to call Simon.
Since the Kins Family refused to coexist peacefully, he was more than willing to intervene.
Meanwhile, Angela lay awake in bed as her mind raced with thoughts. She was well aware that involving the police would stir up a storm within the Kins Family.
Originally, she had only intended to have Samuel detained for a few days, but the situation. escalated with scolding, threats, and even violence.
She pondered how the Kins Family would retaliate this time.

As she relied on Jonathan’s influence, she found the courage to take action.
Joseph claimed that they were still family and that Jonathan’s affection wouldn’t last long: those seemed irrelevant now.
The future consequences were of little concern to her as long as she could disrupt the family’s peace and stability.
As these thoughts brought her joy, a call from Jessica interrupted her reverie.
“I’m returning. Can you pick me up?” Jessica’s cheerful voice hinted at her good spirits.
Amidst the recent chaos, Angela had almost forgotten about Jessica’s impending return.
After she confirmed the details, Angela eagerly waited for Jessica’s arrival as she was eager to share the family’s recent turmoil.
On the other side, Fanny had just returned from the hospital when Michael summoned her

to the study.
Confused by the unexpected summons, Fanny wondered why her father–in–law wanted to meet her privately.
Was it related to Christopher’s car accident, or was she about to face criticism once again?
As she approached the study, Fanny suppressed her impatience and maintained a composed facade.
She was seated before Michael as she inquired, “You wanted to see me, Dad?”
As he glanced briefly at the documents, Michael gestured for Fanny to sit and addressed her sternly, “I heard Samuel caused some trouble.”
Surprised by the revelation, Fanny feigned ignorance. “I’m not aware. What happened?”
When he noticed Fanny’s genuine shock, Michael softened his tone. “I have contacts at the police station. They informed me that he was involved in altercations, including physical violence, resulting in a police report.”
“Oh.” Fanny felt a bit uneasy, unsure of Michael’s intentions. She felt compelled to explain, “This morning. Samuel and I visited Christopher at the hospital together. It didn’t seem like a big deal, did it?”
Michael reclined in his chair. “I’m not entirely sure about the details, but you should inquire when you have the chance. After all, he is your brother, and you should be concerned about him.”
Rumors had it that Jonathan had intervened in the situation which caused a disruption in the flow of information and left him with limited knowledge. Regardless of the initial severity of the matter, with Jonathan’s involvement and the strained relationship between the Kins Family and Angela, the issue that concerned Samuel was bound to be significant.
He wasn’t particularly invested in the affairs of the Kins Family; he simply didn’t want it to impact Christopher in the future.
Christopher already had a tarnished reputation due to his extramarital child, and any trouble caused by his wife’s family would only exacerbate the situation.
With these thoughts in mind, Michael’s expression darkened slightly.
He had advised Christopher against marrying this woman, but his warnings fell on deaf ears.
As she sensed Michael’s displeasure, Fanny displayed a hint of anxiety. “Thank you for

informing me, Dad. I will look into it. The recent incident at the resort had me so preoccupied that I hadn’t had a chance to consider this
As she spoke, Fanny’s eyes welled up, and she was on the brink of tears.
“Very well,” Michael responded coolly, and his impatience was evident.
Truly, what good was it to marry a woman with a questionable background who was always on the verge of tears?
How would Christopher compete with Jonathan in the future?
Fanny was adept at reading people’s emotions. When she observed Michael’s demeanor, she quickly retreated.
Once she shut the study door, her expression turned grim.
What had Samuel done this time?
She grabbed her bag and rushed to the Kins Family; she did not even take the time to change. her clothes.
Upon her arrival, the family had just finished dinner and were enjoying some fruits.
The lively atmosphere gave no indication of any issues.
Scarlet greeted Fanny with surprise, “Fanny, why are you here so late? Come in quickly.”
She sensed her daughter’s lack of enthusiasm and suspected that something was amiss.
Samuel approached. “Fanny, come over here. I bought a variety of fruits. They’re delicious.”
As she observed the abundance of fruits and snacks on the table, Fanny remained composed and inquired, “Is something good happening?”
Samuel grinned. “I wouldn’t call it good news, but it’s not bad either.”
If not for a stroke of luck, they wouldn’t have recovered Angela’s voice recorder, and Samuel might not have had many good days ahead.
Fanny regarded Samuel with skepticism.
His wide smile scented almost too good to be true.
If not for Michael’s words, she might have suspected someone of spreading rumors to ruin.

Joseph noticed Fanny’s uncase and adjusted his glasses before he asked, “Fanny, what’s
wrong
It was a looming disaster.
Fanny cut to the chase and recounted all the vague statements made by Michael.
Finally, she couldn’t resist asking, “Samuel, hasn’t Jonathan resolved the situation yet? How did it escalate to involving the police?”
