As time passed, Naomi couldn’t help but bite her lip. She recalled Jonathan’s reaction when he discovered she had drugged him, fearing that he would expose her ruthlessly. Therefore, she said, “If we are going to confront each other, I should at least change my clothes first, right?”
Despite the heater being on, she only wore a man’s shirt, which provided no warmth. Her legs were bare, and she was shivering. If this continued, she would freeze to death before Jonathan came out.
Then, Naomi was on the verge of leaving.
As long as she left, she couldn’t care less about these people.
“Stay.” Angela looked at her. “I dare you to exit through this door.”
Looking at Angela’s icy gaze, Naomi shivered. However, she felt Angela couldn’t do anything to her even if she left. With so many people present, there was no way Angela could do anything. It was merely a display of power to intimidate her.
With this thought in mind, Naomi regained her confidence and snorted coldly. Just as she stepped forward, a silver needle shot toward her, landing firmly on the tip of her foot.
“Ah!” Naomi’s face turned pale. There was still a lingering fear in her eyes.
Daniel’s eyes flickered with surprise and thought that Angela was impressive.
Suddenly, a noise emanated from the bathroom. In the split second, the bathroom door swung open from the inside, and Jonathan exited from the bathroom.
At that moment, all eyes focused on him.
Jonathan’s clothes were drenched with water, clinging tightly to his body, making him even more uncomfortable. There was a deep gash on his arm, and blood was trickling from the wound, seeping into his clothes and forming a vivid red stain.
Angela’s eyes widened at the sight of him. Did Jonathan do this to himself? Did he do it to resist the drug effects and remain conscious?
Jonathan’s face was pale, and his lips were purple. Sweats formed on his forehead, and his breathing was rapid. His fingers were trembling, and he appeared very anguished.
Angela promptly approached his side. She helped him sit down and placed two fingers on

Jonathan’s pulse.

The once healthy pulse had weakened significantly, and Jonathan could not say anything at the moment, merely weakly leaning against Angela’s shoulder.
Angela’s eyes were filled with fury. She glared at Naomi and said to Josh, “Please take the medical kit.”
With the snow blocking the way, an ambulance couldn’t arrive even if they called one.
Josh had previously mentioned that they had all the necessary equipment here as a precaution, and the medications were also fully stocked.
Josh’s expression turned grim. Upon hearing Angela’s words, he promptly fetched the medical kit.
Meanwhile, amidst the commotion, Jonathan’s companions, except for those who were completely drunk, began to sober and naturally heard the commotion. Seeing that many people were gathering around and Jonathan was injured, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Angela helped Jonathan recline slowly. She dried his hair with a towel and tucked him in with a blanket. At that moment, she touched his hand, which was freezing.
In the frigid winter, Jonathan was soaked in cold water.
On the other hand, Fanny glanced at the open door and beckoned Naomi. Naomi’s eyes. sparkled, and she understood Fanny’s intention. She slowly walked through the door.
“Miss Smith, did I say you can leave?” Angela blurted out.
Fanny was displeased. “Angela, what are you doing?”
Angela paid her no mind. After settling Jonathan, she slowly walked toward Naomi and said coldly, “Go in. Now.” She pointed toward the direction of the bathroom..
Naomi was terrified of Angela’s fierceness. She hid behind Fanny and shook her head.
Fanny stood in front, facing Angela’s anger. “Angela, you are going too far. This matter…”
“Shut up!” Angela wasted no time pulling Naomi from behind Fanny and towards the bathroom.
“Let go of me!” Naomi struggled but to no avail.

Fanny dared not approach and could only be scolded. “Angela, you better stop. You can’t treat her like this.”
Angela turned a deaf ear to this. She threw Naomi into the shower room, turned on the water tap, and let the cold water run.
“Ah.” Naomi immediately curled up from the cold.
Angela kicked her and shouted. “Shut up!” She was already being kind by not harming her. She wanted Naomi to experience what Jonathan had just gone through.
After being drenched in cold water for so long on such a chilly day, she knew better than anyone how bad Jonathan’s condition was. It would take him a long time to recover from frozen like this.
Fanny’s eyes flickered. If she had let Angela deal with Naomi now, Naomi would definitely have sought revenge. She had to protect Naomi and challenge Angela’s authority. Only then would she have a chance to maintain the identity of the daughter of the Kins Family. Otherwise, marrying into the Sanders Family would be full of obstacles.
She walked over and wanted to rescue Naomi. However, she was stopped by Angela. “You better not meddle in other people’s business. I haven’t settled the score with you yet.”
“Is this how you bully people with the tricks you learned in the countryside?” Fanny looked pained. “Angela, you are too impulsive. You will get into big trouble. Haven’t you punished her enough?”
Angela ignored her and said to Christopher, “If you don’t take her away, I will take action.”
Fanny, seeing Angela ignore her, was furious. “You… Move aside.”
Naomi was drenched in cold water and screaming in agony.
Fanny was pushed back, almost stumbling. If it weren’t for Christopher’s quick reflexes to support her, she would have fallen flat on her face.
Christopher was annoyed. “Angela, you…”
He wanted to take action, but Daniel took a few steps forward and stopped him. “Mr. Sanders, maybe it’s better not to get involved.”
The room, which had seemed spacious before, suddenly felt cramped. Although Daniel was smiling, the smile didn’t reach his eyes. Daniel is the son of the Lockwood Family. Although he studied medicine and did not participate in the Lockwood Family business, his influence should not be underestimated.

Christopher hesitated and could not offend the Lockwood Family for the sake of a bottle of
wine.
Seeing this. Fanny stepped out of Christopher’s arms. She wanted to rush in but was blocked by Daniel and a few others.
Fanny frowned. “What are you guys going to do? Bullying a girl like me?”
Daniel clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes. He stood in front of Angela and raised his hands in surrender. “Hey, don’t falsely accuse me. I haven’t done anything. Everyone saw it clearly. I’m just standing here. Is that not allowed?”
Fanny felt wronged and thought Daniel was shameless! She had no choice but to hope for help from Christopher.
Christopher’s face turned grim. After a while, he shook his head slightly at Fanny. He couldn’t intervene in this matter.
