Chapter 413 A Mistake
After Florence’s men opened the door, one of the bodyguards who had been waiting outside entered.
“Miss, Mr. Lawson has left.”
At his words, Christopher realized that Florence had stationed someone outside Jonathan’s company. Fortunately, as Jonathan was now leaving, he wouldn’t have to endure this ordeal for much longer.
Unfortunately, as soon as he let out a relieved breath, Florence’s reply made his brow furrow once more.
“Take me to see him. Oh, and don’t forget to bring him along.” Her gaze casually swept over Christopher’s bruised and swollen face, and she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Left with no choice, Christopher could only let himself be dragged along with them.
Outside the company building, Jonathan had just exited the elevator with Angela when they were intercepted by two men before they could reach their car.
As the two men blocked their way, a third person left discreetly to report the news.
Angela frowned as she looked at the two men who had appeared out of thin air, finding their clothing familiar.
While she wondered to herself, one of them spoke up.
“Mr. Lawson, our lady would like to see you.”

The man’s tone was arrogant and carried a sense of entitlement.
However, Jonathan was not one to be easily controlled. As soon as the two men stopped them, their personal bodyguards all showed up, surrounding them in an instant.
“I’m not interested in whatever your Miss is up to,” Jonathan replied, leading Angela around the two individuals and walking straight toward the
car.
Angela had a slight guess about the lady they were referring to, so before she went after Jonathan, she instructed Oliver, “Oliver, ask them who the Miss is.”
At the realization that they were trapped, the two men instantly attempted to escape the circle of bodyguards. After all, their subordinate had already gone to report the news, and if they didn’t manage to stop Jonathan and let them leave instead, the two of them would be in dire trouble by the time Florence showed up.
As soon as the two men made their move, the people surrounding them did not hold back either, causing a fight to ensue. In less than two minutes, the men were subdued on the ground.
When the situation was under control, Oliver asked, “Who is your Miss?”
“She’s from the Shelton Family. We aren’t someone you should be messing with!” The man remained boastful. Despite the fact that they were being restrained on the ground, they still spoke with their nose in the air.
Angela had just taken her seat in the car when she heard his reply from afar and thought to herself, Just as I suspected.
“What are you thinking about?” Jonathan asked in a low voice, noticing her contemplative expression.

Angela shook her head. Recalling the encounters she had with Florence. recently, she found it hard to wrap her mind around her actions.
First, she had showed up at her door ordering her to give up on Jonathan, and now she was stopping them at the company and trying to force him to meet her. Her behavior was extremely suffocating.
As Oliver interrogated the men, he approached the two. However, before he could get close, a group of people rushed toward them.
The leader of the group and the two men who had intercepted them earlier were dressed alike, and many of the people trailing behind them were also dressed similarly.
They were protecting a woman in the middle, and behind her were two people dragging a slightly rumpled figure.

“Are you in such a hurry t just wanted to invite you for a meeting with me.”
Florence didn’t spare a single look at anyone else and headed straight to Jonathan, who was sitting in the car.
Angela heard Florence’s voice as well and whirled around to look at Jonathan. All right, she was indeed a little interested to see how he would respond. After all, she had already noticed Christopher trapped by Florence’s men, and he looked quite battered up.
“Jonathan, please help me.” Before Jonathan could say a word, Christopher was unable to stop himself for wailing for help while the men dragged him.
Although he was afraid of Jonathan, seeing him felt like a ray of light from heaven at that moment. If Florence didn’t manage to meet him, Christopher would suffer the consequences.

Jonathan glanced at Christopher as if only just noticing him, giving him an icy look.
Despite the fact that they were separated by several people, Christopher was still terrified of Jonathan’s gaze and immediately fell silent but continued to plead with his eyes.
“Miss Shelton, what did he do to upset you this time?” Jonathan inquired.
Upon hearing Jonathan speak at long last, Florence replied happily, “He couldn’t get you to come down to meet me, which is how he ended up upsetting me. However, Mr. Lawson, please don’t misunderstand. I have no intention of hurting your brother. We just had a misunderstanding that led to him getting injured.”
Angela couldn’t help but glance at Christopher at Florence’s explanation. No one believed his injuries were unintentional at all.
Even so, Florence confidently asked Christopher, the victim, to confirm her story, “Am I right, Mr. Sanders?”
The
way Florence addressed him made Christopher want to evaporate into thin air. He trembled as he looked at Jonathan, agreeing with Florence in a pitiful tone, “Y–Yes.”
Speaking caused the pain in his face to return, and his expression twisted.
“If that’s the case, I’ll leave him in your care, Miss Shelton.”
Jonathan, hearing their agreement, showed no intention of continuing the conversation and made to leave.
Christopher panicked at his words.
“Jonathan?” He widened his eyes, his expression completely baffled. A look at Jonathan’s face made him realize that he shouldn’t have followed

Florence’s lead.
He quickly changed his tune, wailing loudly, “Jonathan, save me! They’re too hard on me, and now my whole body hurts!”
Christopher’s behavior was so hilarious that the scene almost turned into a comedy, and Angela nearly burst into laughter.
As if just noticing her, Florence greeted, “Miss Fanny, what a coincidence. to see you again.”
Angela casually replied, “Not really.”
Florence was constantly seeking her out first, and Angela didn’t want to deal with this troublemaker any longer.
Although slightly displeased, Florence was aware that Angela was the key to breaking through Jonathan. Hence, she endured her frustration and asked. “Miss Fanny, would you mind if Mr. Lawson and I had a private conversation?”
Angela replied solemnly, “I do mind.”
Jonathan held Angela’s hand and murmured reassuringly, “I won’t talk to her.
Angela’s heart warmed at his words, but when she caught sight of Christopher nearby, she leaned into his ear and asked, “Are you sure it’s safe to leave him with Florence? What if something goes wrong?”
“It’s all right,” Jonathan reassured her, his eyes filled with a smile as he replied firmly, “I’ll look for an opportunity to send him back to Riverdon.”
Jonathan never liked his half–brother, Christopher, and Florence’s attempt to use him as a bargaining chip, which was a mistake on her part.

Angela was taken aback. However, she realized that Christopher was a thorn in the flesh while he was in Northland, whether with Fanny or with them.
At that thought, she suggested, “What about today?”
Jonathan understood what she meant, and after a moment of thought, he nodded. At his response, Angela settled into her seat next to him obediently, smiling without saying a word.
Florence, who was growing impatient from waiting outside the car, heard Jonathan’s cold reply. “Leave him to me, let’s talk elsewhere.”
