Miss Shelton, please don’t be mad,” came the plea.
Observing Florence’s agitation, someone swiftly intervened to soothe her frayed nerves.
With an impatient snort, Florence retorted, “What utter foolishness.”
The individual responded with a quick smile, saying, “The fool has already been dismissed by you. Now, do we need to-”
“Do you even need to ask? Just follow them!” Florence interjected.
After dismissing the fool from the car, Florence promptly directed her driver to tail Jonathan’s vehicle.
Initially, she had entertained the idea of stepping out to greet Jonathan, but her companion’s insistence proved tiresome, oblivious to Jonathan’s intimate engagement with Angela at that
very moment.
Florence not only observed this but also harbored no desire to witness it firsthand.
The thought of confronting Angela loomed, fearing she might be driven to drastic measures.
For now, her only retaliation against Angela was ensuring her failure to progress to the next round–a calculated move to thwart Angela’s aspirations without endangering her life.
Her primary goal had always been to secure Jonathan’s affection, and jeopardizing that by harming Angela was out of the question.
In truth, Florence had never harbored genuine concern for Angela. Her confidence had rendered her indifferent to Angela’s presence.
Meanwhile, Jonathan’s attentive driver noticed Florence’s car continued its pursuit of them.
“Mr. Lawson, we’re being followed by two cars,” said the driver to Jonathan.
“Let’s head to the company,” Jonathan replied casually.
Originally planning to go home directly, they now had to divert to the company.
Uncertain of the intentions of their pursuers, Jonathan had no desire to lead them home.
The driver promptly changed course toward the company upon Jonathan’s instruction.
Observing the car in front change direction, the occupants of Florence’s car immediately.

alerted her.
Miss Shelton, it seems they’ve noticed us and changed direction suddenly,” they informed her.
Curiously, Florence asked, “Where does this road lead to?”
“It leads to Mr. Lawson’s company,” her companion replied.
“Alright. Continue to follow,” Florence decided, realizing it increased her chances of encountering Jonathan.
Not showing any signs of anger, Florence’s companion breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear the driver say, “Miss Shelton, there’s another car following us from behind.”
“What?” Florence became intrigued. “Who dares to follow my car?”
After a moment’s thought, the driver suggested, “It might also be following Jonathan.”
Florence rolled down the window and glanced behind, remarking, “Interesting.”
Indeed, there was a car tailing them, with James inside.
Like Florence, James had been trailing Jonathan’s group since the entrance of Northland Medical University.
Having trailed behind the convoy all along, he remained constantly cognizant that they comprised a group of four cars.
However, he mistakenly regarded Florence’s car, the third in the procession, as part of Jonathan’s entourage.
Inwardly, he entertained the possibility that it might be Jonathan’s discreetly arranged security detail.
His heightened caution arose from the mistaken belief that Florence’s group was connected to Jonathan, prompting him to exercise extra caution when initially following them.
Consequently, it was only at this moment that he was discovered trailing behind.
Before heading to Northland Medical University, James first went to see Joseph.
Despite Angela’s hint, he gleaned no helpful information from Joseph.
Despite his attempts to inquire with the police, they provided a straightforward explanation, stating that the case was deemed too serious for bail.

It was apparent that someone had influenced the police department, preventing Joseph from being released on bail.
Despite his efforts, James failed to uncover the reason behind Joseph’s inability to be bailed
out
Consequently, he had to turn to Angela once again.
However, Angela remained unresponsive to his calls and messages.
After careful deliberation, he decided to head directly to Northland Medical University to. find Angela.
While waiting outside, his plan was to leave the car when he saw Angela. However, seeing Jonathan made him hesitate, and they drove away together.
Meanwhile, James was driving and trying to contact Angela.
In the car ahead, Angela noticed James‘ call on her silent phone once again, her face showing annoyance and her brows furrowing.
“What’s troubling you?” Jonathan noticed her unusual demeanor, yet abstained from peeking at her cell phone.
“James called. It feels like harassment, Angela explained the situation to him.
Glancing at her cell phone, Jonathan noticed James‘ name and suggested with a smile, “If you’d rather not respond, just block him.”
Though Angela contemplated blocking James, she ultimately decided against it.
“Not at the moment,” she replied. Then, she thought to herself, It might prove useful for passing
time when bored.
Yet, sitting beside Jonathan, she found herself anything but bored, and thus had no intention of answering the call.
Observing Angela put her cell phone in her bag, Jonathan smiled and embraced her.
“That’s settled then. If he wants to cause trouble for you, I’ll cause trouble for him,” Jonathan declared, his tone unlike his usual self, almost reminiscent of a young man in love.
“Alright, Angela responded sincerely.
A soft chuckle ensued, and Jonathan drew even nearer.
Feeling a tickle on her neck, Angela turned to face Jonathan, meeting his gentle gaze.
Chapter 460 She Could Only Follow Along
Jonathan was handsome, with a distinctive nose and deep–set eyes. When he didn’t smile, he appeared stern and aloof. But when he did, there was a warmth that melted hearts.
And this warmth was reserved solely for Angela.
Perhaps it was Angela’s proximity, but she found herself captivated by the sight of Jonathan before her.
Jonathan tenderly kissed the corner of her lips.
In response, Angela drew nearer to him, her cheeks ablaze with desire, yearning to kisst Jonathan.
Yet, just as their romantic connection was poised to deepen, Oliver abruptly interjected, “It seems Florence’s associates are tailing us.”
Instantly, the romantic mood dissolved in the car, leaving Angela feeling flustered, her ears and cheeks burning with embarrassment.
Without Oliver’s interruption, she might have almost forgotten the others in the car.
Feeling mortified, she sought refuge in Jonathan’s embrace.
Jonathan held her firmly, his touch gentle but his tone serious as he questioned Oliver, “How
do you know?”
The timing couldn’t have been worse, and Jonathan couldn’t shake the suspicion that Oliver had intentionally spoken up.
After Oliver spoke, he realized it wasn’t the right moment to mention it. He felt somewhat embarrassed. However, when Jonathan asked, he promptly responded, “I spotted Florence’s henchman inside when the car turned.”
After giving his explanation, Oliver obediently settled back into his seat, avoiding further glances.
Jonathan nodded. “If she wants to follow, let her.”
Nevertheless, she could do nothing but trail along.
