How could Florence overlook Christopher, Jonathan’s younger brother? Yet, the memory of her men assaulting him left her uneasy.
“Find out what Christopher has been up to,” she instructed her men, even though they seemed puzzled by the order, they promptly obeyed. Meanwhile, Florence departed from Angela’s residence with her entourage shortly after.
Angela observed Florence’s departure from the second–floor balcony. As the car vanished into the distance, she sank into a chair and reached for a book from the table.
After a brief moment, she set the book down, acknowledging her impulsive behavior downstairs. Despite recognizing her impetuosity in driving Florence away, Angela believed she would have done the same. given the chance.
Florence had crossed the line by provoking her and showing blatant disrespect for Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Jonathan learned from Oliver during his workday that Florence had visited Angela, who seemed troubled when he called her.
Angela sensed Jonathan’s attempt to comfort her, which warmed her heart.
“I sent her away,” Angela admitted, referring to her decisive action in dismissing Florence.
Jonathan didn’t hesitate. “Just boot her out. Don’t worry about anything else.”
He vowed to protect Angela. Despite the Shelton Family’s power in

Northland, he refused to let them trample over Angela.
Angela nodded in agreement. After a brief chat and sensing Angela’s improved mood. Jonathan mentioned that Joseph had reached out to him again.
She anticipated that Joseph would contact Jonathan again. When she recalled the trouble George had caused, she was surprised that Joseph had resolved it so swiftly.
However, Joseph’s immediate return to Jonathan’s orbit underscored the gravity of Zacharias‘ condition.
“I got it. I’ll meet him this afternoon,” Angela resolved to deal with Joseph as she had previously decided.
Jonathan raised no objections but offered a few reminders before they hung up.
After lunch, Angela dialed Joseph. Despite previously blocking the Kins Family’s numbers, she encountered no harassment this time.
Upon connecting, she heard Joseph’s voice, which carried a mix of excitement and nervousness. “Angela?”
Amused, Angela replied, “Yes, it’s me.”
Joseph audibly breathed a sigh of relief. “Angela, you finally decided to talk
to me.
After seeing George off, Joseph immediately sought out Jonathan. Thought he missed Jonathan, his staff assured him they would relay a message to Angela.
While skeptical of Jonathan’s assurances, Joseph intended to wait outside. his company. However, a call from Scarlet demanding his presence at the

Thus, he found himself en route to the hospital, puzzled by Scarlet’s

“At 2 p.m., the cafe on Moonlight Road, Angela asserted, disregarding Joseph’s attempts at pleasantries and providing a time and place. Before Joseph could respond, she ended the call.
Although Angela extended an invitation, Joseph rernained irked by her
demeanor.
Shortly after hanging up, Joseph’s car pulled up outside the hospital. Checking the time, he decided to visit Scarlet first and made his way to her hospital room.
“Mom, you called me back. What’s up?” Joseph wasted no time, mindful of his upcoming meeting with Angela.
Scarlet’s expression turned icy. “Joseph, tell me. Did they conduct the compatibility test between Zac and Fanny?”
Joseph’s heart skipped a beat as he swiftly shook his head. “No.”
Denying it, he recalled Zacharias‘ earlier disclosure and a suspicious exchange he witnessed between Gregory’s and Fanny’s doctor.
He hadn’t anticipated Zacharias bypassing his objections and proceeding with the test privately. Observing Scarlet’s current expression, he surmised she misunderstood, thinking he had authorized the test.
“The doctor already informed me. Why deny it? He’s your brother. Do you want him dead?” Scarlet’s heart broke, and she couldn’t believe that Joseph would agree to the test.
Joseph reassured her, already suspecting Zacharias‘ independent action.

However, he couldn’t reveal this to Scarlet, fearing it would imply Zacharias‘ loss of will to live.
Scarlet grasped his arm, confusion clouding her eyes. “He told me himself. Could it be fake? Or are you doubting me?”
Helplessly, Joseph tried to persuade her. “Mom, even if it’s a match, it might not be suitable. Zac’s kidney may not be the one used.”
Scarlet’s anger blurred her vision. “Are you implying Zac’s kidney would be used if it’s a match? He’s too frail. That’s a death sentence!”
Though Joseph realized his mistake, he couldn’t divulge Zacharias‘ apathy. Nor had he convinced Angela on the other end, so he promised, “Mom. don’t fret. I won’t let Zac give Fanny his kidney.
Previously hesitant, he was now certain such a course couldn’t be taken. Without a kidney, Zacharias wouldn’t survive.
If Fanny discovered her cure came at Zacharias‘ expense, she’d never find happiness. D
Scarlet persisted, fixated on one point. “Then why authorize the compatibility test?”
Joseph reiterated, “Mom, believe it or not, but I just found out about the test as well. I’ll inquire about this with Dr. Gregory.”
Later, he’d seek answers from Gregory. With a composed demeanor and clear gaze, he’d chosen his words carefully.
Scarlet’s anger waned as she found credibility in Joseph’s calm demeanor. Though she knew she shouldn’t vent all her frustration on him, thoughts of Fanny’s plight fueled her resentment. Saddened, she pondered how their family had descended into chaos.

Witnessing Scarlet’s gradual calmness, Joseph gently disengaged her grip. “Mom, take care. Leave the rest to me,” he soothed, turning to leave.
Suddenly, Scarlet’s anger flared anew. “It’s all Angela Kins‘ fault! Find her, make her get tested, and force her to donate her kidney to Fanny!” (D
