Chapter 334 Why Not Believe in Superstition?
The night scene in Northland had always been magnificent.
Angela followed alongside Jonathan as they entered the banquet hall.
It wasn’t her first time attending such an event; she had accompanied him to similar ones in Riverdon before. But this time, it was clearly different in Northland.
After the two of them appeared, not many people glanced their way. Occasionally, a few would look over, but after seeing them, they didn’t react much.
It’s a different experience indeed, Angela thought to herself as she linked arms with Jonathan.
Jonathan remained composed as ever and led Angela to sit down on the side.
Tonight’s banquet was a bidding banquet, but Jonathan wasn’t particularly interested in the bidding, so he didn’t even bring his assistant.
Just as they sat down, Angela saw a familiar figure.
“Why is she here?” She frowned as she looked toward the distant figure of Fanny, who was being embraced by a slightly rotund man, her smile appearing very insincere.
Jonathan followed Angela’s gaze and saw Fanny with the man beside her.
“The man beside her seems to be Dylan Leigh, the CEO of Leigh Group.”
After arriving in Northland, he didn’t take over all the affairs of the branch, but he had the employees of the branch compile information on the part of the company in Northland.
These days, he was setting policies and also getting to know the situation in Northland.
Angela whispered, “It’s fine. Just ignore her.”
She did indeed harbor some resentment toward Fanny, but as long as Fanny didn’t bother her, she didn’t intend to seek her out.
However, Fanny unexpectedly appeared in Northland. Could it be that she was following Christopher?
Before Angela’s confusion could be resolved, Fanny brought Dylan over.
“Angela, I didn’t expect you to come to this banquet too!” Fanny’s face was filled with joy, and

were the best of sisters.
Dylan also smiled and said to Angela, “So, you’re Angela. What a coincidence.”
Angela, with a hint of sarcasm, asked, “And who might you be?”
Dylan’s expression stiffened momentarily as he took a moment to compose himself before speaking, “I’m a friend of your dad’s. Fanny calls me Mr. Leigh, so it would be fitting for you. to address me the same way.”
“Okay,” Angela replied flatly.
Dylan was George’s acquaintance, but their relationship was distant. Angela had long severed ties with the Kins Family.
If Dylan had approached her alone, she might have responded with more warmth. But with Fanny by his side, Angela really didn’t have a good impression of him.
Though Dylan undoubtedly sensed Angela’s indifference and coldness, he maintained a smile on his oily face. He took a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray next to him and handed it to Angela.
“It’s been years since I last saw your dad. Now that I see you, let’s have a drink,” he said.
Angela declined the wine and stared at him. “I don’t drink.”
Dylan paused momentarily, but instead of retracting the drink, he continued, “What about the gentleman beside you? He’s your husband, right? I heard he’s quite capable. Can he hold his liquor?”
“He can’t either,” Angela replied with a smile, taking the glass of wine and setting it aside.
Jonathan remained silent. This was Angela’s territory domain, arid he was merely sitting. beside her. If she needed him to speak, he would. However, it was evident that Angela was determined to handle the situation herself. So, he observed the interaction between the two without responding, even when Dylan mentioned him, he didn’t respond and appeared nonchalant and lazy..
“You…” Dylan’s smile was starting to falter.
Angela quietly observed his performance.
In truth, she found herself more interested in watching Fanny’s awkward antics than Dylan’s.

After all, this was her first encounter with him, and she harbored no strong feelings toward him.
“Your sister said you were obedient, but I didn’t expect you to show no respect to your elders,” Dylan said to her in a calm tone, expressing his disappointment.
Angela remained expressionless, She didn’t care about his opinion of her, especially since he was George’s friend. He had likely heard negative things about her from George, so she wasn’t surprised..
Glancing briefly at Fanny, Angela caught a glimpse of her evasive eyes and casually remarked, “She’s not my sister, in case you didn’t know. Fanny has left the Kins Family and isn’t even listed in the Lynch Family’s household registration anymore.”
Angela herself was also not listed on the Kins Family’s household registration, but she saw no need to mention it at that moment. Whether Dylan was aware of this fact or not was irrelevant.
Fanny’s face briefly showed embarrassment, but being naturally adept at putting on a show, she quickly plastered on a smile and interjected, “Angela and I had some conflicts at home, and we haven’t reconciled yet. Mr. Leigh, shall we go over there? You mentioned meeting a friend, didn’t you?”
Dylan glanced at Angela once more before agreeing with Fanny’s suggestion, and the two of them departed.
Observing the two as they left, Jonathan remained silent, while Angela couldn’t understand. Fanny’s behavior.
She couldn’t understand why Fanny insisted on approaching her. Every time she did, it ended in a lesson learned.
But why won’t she learn from her mistakes?
“I didn’t realize George had connections in Northland,” Angela said with a smile tinged with a hint of disdain.
She felt no respect for George; mentioning his name directly made her feel a bit disgusted.
The scandal involving Fanny and Christopher had caused quite a stir in Riverdon. Fanny should have been despised by everyone, but simply by changing locations, she managed to transform herself into someone of higher status.
This behavior irked Angela, causing her carefully cultivated composure to waver inexplicably.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Jonathan asked as he noticed Angela holding her head. He gently massaged her temples in an attempt to alleviate her discomfort.
Shaking her head, Angela replied, “No, just feeling a bit nauseous. I’ll go to the restroom.”
She summarized her complex emotions after seeing Fanny as a feeling of disgust, which seemed reasonable.
Meanwhile, Dylan led Fanny to a secluded corner.
“So that’s Angela Kins, the one causing trouble for your family? She seems difficult to please, but I believe I can handle her,” Dylan remarked.
Fanny clenched her fists and didn’t bother to hide the hatred in her eyes as she pleaded, “It’s her. She’s the reason our family is in this situation. Mr. Leigh, you must help us.”
“Don’t worry, your dad entrusted me with this task, so I’ll definitely help. But you also need to make an effort yourself,” he said, touching her face as he gave an insincere smile.
Fanny shuddered involuntarily, feeling goosebumps rise on her skin, and asked, “So, what’s our next move? She didn’t even touch the drink we offered earlier…”
