Chapter 393 Mere Annoyance
Florence stared at Angela for a moment and then remarked, “Miss Angela, you are truly not easily. frightened.”
Angela looked at her quizzically, and Florence added, “Your complexion seems a bit pale.”
“Miss Shelton, where are you taking me?” Angela inquired without acknowledging the sarcasm.
Before Florence could respond, their car abruptly braked, and the driver announced, “Miss, someone is blocking the road.”
“Who is it?”
Angela peered outside and recognized Oliver. She instantly felt relieved.
Oliver must have noticed her absence as soon as he retrieved the item and promptly followed her.
“Is he your companion?” Florence inquired.
Angela opened the car door without hesitation. “Miss Florence, let’s continue this conversation another time. Jonathan will be here soon.”
She purposely mentioned Jonathan to observe Florence’s reaction. She saw that the latter furrowed her brow momentarily.
The car door swung open at her touch, and surprisingly, Florence seemed hesitant about something, yet no one stopped her.
It wasn’t until she got out of the car that she breathed a sigh of relief. Oliver hurried over with concern etched on his face. “Mrs. Lawson, are you alright?”
Oliver was trembling with fear at the thought of almost losing Angela.
“I’m fine.” She shook her head, glanced at Florence, then shut the car door. “Let’s head back.”
Florence looked strangely at the closed car door and stayed silent for a while.
“Miss, do you want us to bring her back?” the bodyguard in the front seat asked.
Florence chuckled. “Forget it. We’ll chat with her another day.”
She found Angela quite intriguing, but her heart was set on Jonathan. She was confident she could make Angela give up on her own.
“Miss, we could just snatch h
rand for her to divorce that guy surnamed Lawson.” The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat knew that she had come to Angela for Jonathan’s sake, so he came up with an idea.
“Forget it!” Florence snapped.
Her men had beaten up Jonathan’s brother before, and now her men who only knew violence encouraged her to kidnap his wife. She wasn’t planning on leaving a good impression on Jonathan at all!

But, she didn’t really like Angela being Jonathan’s wife either.
If it weren’t for wanting to leave a good impression on Jonathan, she wouldn’t have been so polite to Angela.
The bodyguard was scolded by her and didn’t dare to come up with any more ideas.
Florence leaned back in her seat and said, “To Jonathan’s company.”
Even though she was probably going to be turned away again, she just couldn’t resist going to see Jonathan.
The car sped off, while Angela also dialed Jonathan’s number.
She knew that even if she didn’t say anything, Oliver would inform Jonathan about the incident where she was almost taken away, so she simply mentioned encountering Florence briefly.
To prevent Jonathan from worrying excessively, she omitted the possibility of Florence seeking another. conversation with her.
Following the brief interaction with Florence, she found her less intimidating than anticipated.
Jonathan had briefed her on the general situation of the Shelton Family, prompting her to steer clear of individuals like Florence as much as possible.
Angela did not chat with Jonathan for long before ending the call.
Unexpectedly. Jonathan hurried home shortly after out of concern for her. Consequently, when Florence arrived at Jonathan’s company, she narrowly missed him.
Facing the receptionist’s smiling face saying “Mr. Lawson just left,” Florence turned away impatiently.
Once she left, the receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and filed an internal report.
Florence had previously clashed with the company’s security team, and they all recognized her, so they were on high alert when they spotted her.
Meanwhile, Fanny, who had finally calmed down after two days, was taken aback when she learned that George was coming to Northland.
She mulled over his actions and felt a wave of uncertainty wash over her. It was tough for her to come to terms with the fact that he was the one who pushed Scarlet.
So, she refrained from reaching out to George herself.
Unexpectedly, he reached out to her directly, but it was just to inquire about Dylan’s situation.
When George brought up Dylan, memories of the latter’s past mistreatment flooded back into Fanny’s mind. Despite her discomfort, she decided to disclose what had happened with Dylan to George.
After listening, George didn’t offer much in response before departing.
Unable to reach Dylan himself, he had come to Fanny seeking information.

Once he had a clearer picture of the situation, he could make his way to the Lime Family..
Even after George left, Fanny’s thoughts remained unsettled. She contemplated seeking out Christopher but her plans were interrupted when she unexpectedly encountered Angela.
Instinctively, she hid away and observed with irritation as a cheerful Angela walked away with her companions.
At that moment, Angela was out shopping with Yoanna, and following recent events, Oliver had grown. even closer to Angela than before.
“Why are you so tense, Oliver?” Yoanna teased as she noticed their shopping trip had turned into a trio.
Yoanna, who had been recovering in the hospital, immediately made plans to hang out with Angela upon. her discharge. Angela agreed to accompany her during her training break.
Oliver responded seriously. I’m not tense.”
Observing his demeanor. Yoanna refrained from further teasing.
Shortly after, Yoanna, seemingly influenced by Oliver’s nervousness, glanced around inexplicably and, murmured, “Why do I feel like someone is watching us?”
Angela also scanned the surroundings but did not spot anyone familiar. “I don’t think so.”
Ignoring the strange feeling, Yoanna took Angela to eat, but as soon as they entered the restaurant and ordered, two people approached.
The two were dressed as bodyguards and completely ignored Yoanna as they headed straight for Angela. “Miss Angela, our Miss would like to have a word with you.”
Oliver was also there, and upon seeing someone approaching, he stood directly beside Angela with a protective stance.
He knew that Florence from before hadn’t given up yet.
Curious, Angela inquired, “Who is your miss?” She suspected the individuals were associated with Florence.
One of the bodyguards responded, “You’ll find out when you arrive, Miss Angela. Our Miss has reserved a private room.”
Unwilling to comply, Angela declined and stated she was dining with a friend.
The bodyguards, unwilling to disclose their miss‘ identity, left to report back.
After their departure, Angela decided to leave and informed the front desk that they were canceling their
order.
“Why are you leaving, Angela?” Yoanna asked as they got into the car. She sensed that something was
amiss.
Angela shared her suspicions.

“Staying there might lead to trouble. Let’s eat somewhere else”
The behavior of the other party confirmed to her that it was indeed Florence. Despite the different bodyguards, she was certain of the connection.
She wasn’t afraid of Florence. She simply found her irritating, and she was frustrated by the latter’s insistence on discussing this issue with her.
Upon hearing this. Yoanna chose not to pursue the topic further.
