Chapter 285 Clear Oneself
“The administrator who posted this is called Angelina,” Cassie immediately mentioned the name of the administrator and showed Angela a group photo of campus activities.
“Angela, this is Angelina.”
Angela looked at the photo and immediately remembered who this person was
Angelina was the person who stood next to Winter when they met at school before.
“I’ve seen her before. She was with Winter.”
Cassie, feeling disgusted, vented, “It’s Winter again! What does she want to do? It’s one thing to envy and be jealous of you, but she always creates disgusting incidents!”
Angela said, “It’s okay. The truth will come to light. Let’s go home,”
Seeing her so calm, Cassie asked, “Angela, have you figured out a solution?”
“No,” Angela denied, then said, “It’s not right for innocent people to prove their innocence. They accuse me of manipulation and cheating, so it’s their responsibility to provide evidence, not mine.”
Cassie slapped her thigh. “Exactly! Angelina hasn’t provided any evidence at all. Even if she’s an administrator, so what? If things escalate, we can call the police.”
-Angela nodded. “Yes that’s the point. These rumors can’t harm me. You don’t need to worry.”
Cassie nodded along, but she couldn’t help but continue to argue with others who were slandering Angela in the comments.
The two left the private hot spring.
Angela glanced at the sky and estimated that it was time for Jonathan to finish work and head home.
Just as she was thinking this, Jonathan called.
Angela had just parted ways with Cassie and was already in the car when she answered. Jonathan’s call.
“Why aren’t you at home?” Jonathan’s voice was quiet and soft on the other end of the line.

“I’m on my way home. I was hanging out with Cassic,” Angela quickly replied.
Only then did Jonathan say, “I’ll come pick you up.

“No need. I’m already in the car. I will be home soon,” Angela declined before hanging up. Her ears inexplicably felt hot, and she had to roll down the window to cool off.
Upon arriving home, Angela saw Jonathan waiting on the sofa, reading a newspaper. The light fell on his shoulders, making him look exceptionally gentle.
“You’re back. Have you eaten?” Jonathan heard her and set the newspaper aside, getting up to greet her.
Although Jonathan had only taken a few steps, Angela felt as if it had been a long journey. She quickly changed her shoes and walked inside.
“I have. Have you eaten, Jonathan?” she asked.
“Not yet. Would you like to eat with me?” Jonathan took Angela’s hand as he spoke, feeling a bit nostalgic after not seeing her for a while.
“Sure.” Angela nodded, and Jonathan held her hand as they went to wash up.
Angela felt like she was being treated like a child, but surprisingly, she didn’t mind.
After dinner and getting ready for bed, Jonathan, as usual, embraced Angela.
As Angela’s heart raced, she heard Jonathan ask, “Where did you go today, Angela?”
“I went to the hot spring, then to the mall for a while. Oh, by the way, I bought something for you.”
Angela suddenly remembered that she had picked out clothes for Jonathan while shopping and had Oliver take them home directly, but she forgot to tell Jonathan about it.
“You bought me a gift?” Jonathan smiled. “What is it?”
He would be happy no matter what Angela bought for him because at least it meant that Angela was thinking of him while she was out.
If Angela could think of him, it meant that he was in her heart.
Jonathan felt a sense of unprecedented peace in his heart.
“It’s clothes. I’m not sure if you will like them, but when I bought them, I thought you would

look good in them, so I bought them.”
Angela paused to respond to Jonathan’s question, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her ears were tinged with red..
“I like everything you’ve chosen,” Jonathan said.
Angela hesitated. “I’ll go get them for you to see…”
But before Angela could inquire with Oliver about the whereabouts of the items, Jonathan reached out and stopped her.
“Let’s take a look at them tomorrow.” Jonathan embraced her and whispered, “It’s too late. Let’s go to bed.”
The last light in Springgate Estates was extinguished, but Angela felt like she was consumed by a restless fire.
Fanny waited until the afternoon to visit Scarlet in the hospital. Joseph had arranged a new place for her close to the hospital, making it convenient for her to come and go.
Joseph even took a day off to assist her in moving her belongings to the new place, and she graciously accepted. She sent a text to Christopher but received no response.
“Joseph, you go ahead and keep yourself occupied. Mom has me here watching over her.” Fanny felt much more at ease with a caregiver by Scarlet’s bedside.
“Having a caregiver around was a relief, as she didn’t need to do anything with her there.
Joseph gave Fanny a concerned look and advised, “Fanny, don’t worry too much. It’s not good to overexert yourself. Go back when you’re tired.”
It was only later, when he informed James that he had sent Fanny away, that he discovered. Fanny had fainted again that day.
Their sister had always been in poor health, and now, with Scarlet in trouble again, there was. no one at home to care for Fanny. They could only hope she would take care of herself.
Moved, Fanny nodded and tearfully sat by Scarlet’s bedside, “Mom, please wake up soon. It hurts to see you like this.”
After Joseph left, Fanny couldn’t bring herself to pretend anymore. After sending May off to complete some tasks, she sat down and continued to text Christopher.

Christopher had not responded to her messages, and she worried he no longer wanted to deal with her.
Fortunately, towards evening, Christopher finally replied to her.
He apologized, explaining that he had been busy with work all this time, which brought her some relief.
After inquiring about finding a doctor and receiving a negative response from Christopher, Angela made a phone call.
“Fanny, what’s wrong?” It took Christopher a moment to respond, his voice low and with a slightly chaotic background noise.
Fanny sensed something was amiss, and she shed a few tears. After listening to Christopher’s voice for a moment, she asked pitifully, “Christopher, are you at a KTV2
“Yes. I’m accompanying my dad for a social engagement.” To avoid further questioning from Fanny, he even brought Michael into the conversation.
Fanny ceased her inquiries and instead encouraged Christopher to work hard.
Feeling relieved, Christopher relaxed and comforted Fanny for a while before ending the call.
Upon exiting the bathroom, Christopher was beckoned over by Sophia. “Why were you on the phone for so long? Is your dad urging you to come home?”
