Regardless of whether Angela agreed or not, it was harmless to Jane. She could use this opportunity to understand Angela’s temperament and continue interacting with her..
Jane thought that Angela seemed to enjoy being kind to others and wouldn’t insist that Christopher apologize.
Therefore, Jane gave Christopher a reassuring glance when he looked at her.
Jane’s assumption was correct.
Angela had no intention of forcing Christopher to apologize to her. After all, Christopher’s apology would. not benefit her. She didn’t like him, but she didn’t want to see him, not to witness him bowing his head. and apologizing.
But just as she was about to decline Jane’s suggestion, she suddenly noticed Jane and Christopher’s expressions.
She changed her mind instantly.
She remained composed and casually said, “Miss Coolidge is right. Let him apologize properly. I’ll listen.”
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere became tense.
The one with the most fluctuating emotions was Christopher, whom Jane had just reassured with a look. He stared at Angela, then looked back at Jane with intensity.
Although Jane was also surprised, she reacted quickly. She lightly patted Christopher on the back, reminding him, ‘Christopher, didn’t you say you wanted to apologize to your sister–in–law in person? Now your sister–in–law is giving you the opportunity, hurry up…”
She even referred to Angela as ‘sister–in–law,‘ which made Angela look at her twice. She was direct and even smiled warmly at Angela.
Christopher looked extremely uncomfortable. After being patted by Jane, although his gaze was no longer intense, he still
Suffened his neck and remained silent.
Angela couldn’t help but find it amusing to see him like this.
Christopher would have exploded by now if it were a normal situation. She could see Christopher in such an awkward state because Jonathan was still nearby answering a phone call.
“Aren’t you supposed to apologize to me?” Angela asked in confusion.
As she said this, she remembered Fanny’s usual way of speaking. She thought Fanny was best at pretending to be ignorant.
Fanny was always pretending, whether it was in front of the Kins Family’s parents, in front of her brothers, or even in front of her former fiance, Christopher.
Seeing Christopher still not speaking, Jane couldn’t help but urge in a low voice. “Christopher? What are you thinking? Hurry up and apologize to your sister–in–law.”

Although she wasn’t worried that Angela would be angry with her, she wanted to win Angela’s favor and get
to know Ava.
Christopher heard Jane’s urging and felt repulsed.
If it weren’t for the pressure from Michael and the sudden incide spared a glance at Jane.
with Fanny, he wouldn’t have even
“Okay,” Christopher responded to Jane with a single word, then glanced at Angela. His eyes were disgusted, but he said, “I’m sorry, sister–in–law. I was wrong yesterday.”
As a grown man taller than Jane, his voice when apologizing was even softer than a girl’s.
Jane breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Angela would blame Christopher for the issue with his apology. She quickly added, “Miss Angela, Christopher isn’t feeling well today, and his throat is…”
Angela interrupted, “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”
If she had intended to make things difficult, it would have been understandable for Christopher to apologize loudly again. But she had no interest in seeing Christopher’s unpleasant face again, so she casually defused the situation.
Jonathan, who had just returned from the phone call, happened to hear this and looked at Angela with
confusion.
Angela whispered softly, “Is everything sorted out? Are we going home?”
She implied that if Jonathan had yet to finish dealing with the company’s affairs, she could accompany him to the office..
Jonathan understood her intentions and replied casually, “Everything is taken care of. Let’s go home.”
During their conversation, Jane remained silent. She didn’t want to ruin Angela’s mood, nor did she want to engage too much with Jonathan.
Although it was their first meeting, she had always had good observational skills and accurately judged people.
Jonathan was extremely aloof and not to be underestimated.
Christopher kept his head down and dared not look at the two of them.
He was somewhat fearful that Angela would bring up the recent incident. If Jonathan found out, he was worried he would be reprimanded for his insincere apology.
Jonathan paid little attention to them. After speaking, he was about to leave with Angela.
Before leaving. Angela said goodbye to Jane with just a sentence, but this sentence made her extremely happy.
Even though she didn’t expect to make Angela her good friend in today’s chance encounter, she didn’t expect them to become ordinary friends.
But at least Angela acknowledged her as an acquaintance.
It now appeared that Angela had accepted her as an acquaintance.
So the next time they met, whether Christopher was present or not, mentioning him shouldn’t hinder her from conversing with Angela.
After their departure, Christopher finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“What did Miss Coolidge mean just now?” Once Jonathan had left, Christopher voiced his dissatisfaction.
He felt that Jane had set him up earlier, causing him to lose face in front of Angela. He felt uncomfortable and with a displeased expression on his face.
Jane whispered. “Mr. Sanders, speak softly. Jonathan and his wife may not have gone far.”
Seeing her cautious expression, Christopher felt momentarily confused and lowered his voice, still questioning, “What are you afraid of? Your Coolidge Family is quite well–off in Northland, and my brother just came from Riverdon. You don’t need to worry.”
Jane rolled her eyes and sighed inwardly, feeling that Christopher was foolish.
Considering Christophe’s foolishness, she pondered whether she should directly cut off contact with him. After all, Angela’s impression of her might be significantly diminished if she continued associating with Christopher.
She wouldn’t feel guilty about severing ties with a fool like Christopher.
At that moment, Jane made a decision.
“I was just joking. Those two have already gone far, and they can’t hear us at all. And Christopher, aren’t you the one who’s even more afraid of those two?”
She said this in a normal volume, but her gaze toward Christopher was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, it was filled with disdain and contempt,
Christopher immediately blackened his face, feeling angry at being ridiculed by Jane. His temper rose instantly. “What do you mean by that?”
Jane put on a pretense of being scared, but her words showed no mercy to Christopher. “I mean what I said. Oh right. I forgot you can’t see your face, so let me kindly describe it for you.”
Christopher guessed that she couldn’t say anything nice, but her following words still infuriated him.
“You’re like a mouse encountering a cat when you see those two. Tsk, more like a black mouse that’s stolen something and is about to meet its end.”
“Shut up.” Christopher slapped her immediately, leaving a red mark on her face.
“Do you dare to hit me?” Jane wasn’t afraid of confrontation and fought back right away.
But Christopher regretted his slap as soon as it landed. Not to mention that he couldn’t afford to provoke the Coolidge Family in Northland. He couldn’t even bear Michael’s wrath.
Regretting his behavior, he didn’t dare to stop Jane’s retaliation, quickly ending up with red marks on his face and a disheveled appearance.

Jane wasnt holding back either. After seeing Christopher not resisting, she continued to strike his fare hoping he wouldn’t be able to show his face for a month.
