Yoanna and Yaxley had not even stepped out of the car when they witnessed Angela hastily exiting the vehicle and embracing someone.
The two wore contrasting expressions, with Yoanna even glancing back at Yaxley multiple
times.
“Yaxley, who is that man?” Yoanna inquired.
Yaxley shook his head.
Exiting the car, he handed the keys to the hotel concierge before making his way toward Angela and Jonathan.
Seeing him leaving the car, Yoanna hurriedly followed, attempting to reach out and Yaxley’s arm.

Yoanna noticed that Yaxley did not push her away and smiled, her eyes squinting with delight.
After embracing Jonathan for a moment, Angela recalled Yaxley and Yoanna, promptly releasing him.
“Angela, who is this?” Yaxley’s voice emanated from behind, composed yet tinged with curiosity as he fixed his gaze on Jonathan.
He had a nagging feqling of familiarity toward Jonathan but could not pinpoint where he had seen Jonathan before.
Anxiously clutching Jonathan’s hand, Angela debated whether to reveal their relationship outright or keep it concealed.
Unable to decide, Angela glanced up at Jonathan.
Jonathan tenderly held her hand and addressed Yaxley, “I am Angela’s husband, Jonathan.
Lawson.”
Upon hearing this, both Yaxley and Yoanna were taken aback. Even Angela instinctively tightened her grip on Jonathan’s hand.
“Yes, he is my husband. He coincidentally came to Northland for a business trip,” Angela stated, a noticeable sweetness gracing her features.

Yaxley nodded, recalling Jonathan’s name from somewhere. After a moment of contemplation, realization struck him.
He gazed at Jonathan, initially with skepticism and then with certainty, eventually morphing into a clear expression of respect.
“My lecturer has mentioned you before, he remarked.
Yaxley’s remark created a slightly awkward atmosphere, though he remained oblivious.
Yoanna gently rugged at him, prompting him to snap out of his reverie and suggest, “Mr. Lawson, would you care to join us for dinner?”
Jonathan glanced at Angela, who nodded in agreement before accepting Yaxley’s invitation.
The four proceeded to the hotel restaurant, where the atmosphere among them was surprisingly much more pleasant than earlier in the car.
At Northland Airport, Christopher eagerly checked his phone upon disembarking from the plane.
Not replaceing any missed calls from Fanny, he felt a sense of unease.
Unable to wait until he left the airport, Christopher dialed Fanny’s number.
He feared Fanny’s strong feelings for him might lead her to act impulsively.
The call went unanswered.

Meanwhile, over at the Kins Residence, in Fanny’s room, a phone kept ringing insistently.
Fanny was absent from the room, standing at the entrance of Kins Residence.
Britney shouted for an extended period before finally coaxing Fanny to emerge, appearing both haughty and irate.
“Are you trying to avoid me? Why did it take you so long to come down?”
Before arriving at Kins Residence, Britney had visited Fanny’s previous residence, only to replace it vacant.
Fortunately, her quick thinking led her to surmise that Fanny might have returned to Kins Residence, which prompted Britney to head straight there.
Stopping a few paces from the iron gate, Fanny faced Britney. Her demeanor was not one of

joy, but she concealed her displeasure, mindful of their surroundings.
“Why did you come here?” Her voice was hushed, clearly indicating her desire for privacy.
Britney, however, was unfazed and continued to raise her voice. “Why else would I be here? I am your mother. Can’t I come to see you?
After spending the money she received from Fanny a few days ago, she returned to ask for
more moncy.
Initially planning to ask Fanny politely for the money, she was surprised when Fanny disappeared without a word and went back to Kins Residence.
This made her angry, and she had no patience left for Fanny.
“I am not your daughter. I am a member of the Kins Family, and I share no relation with If you’re looking for your daughter, go replace Angela!”
Fanny was upset but kept her voice low on purpose.
you.
Britney was like a persistent nuisance, which irritated her. She was not only annoyed by Britney but also upset that Angela had returned the household registration back to Angela.
Fanny held Angela responsible for Britney’s current pestering of her!
Britney sneered, “The one on the same household registration as me now is not Angela but you, Fanny. I’m out of money now, so give it to me quickly!”
Fanny was easily manipulated, and Britney knew that very well. Whenever she thought about Mike’s death being connected to Fanny, she couldn’t help but feel a deep hatred toward her.
If Mike were still alive, Britney wouldn’t be in this situation! She believed it was all Fanny’s fault.
“Money? You won’t get any from me!”
“If you hadn’t caused your father’s death, why would I ask. you for money? It’s your own fault!” Britney was furious, leaning against the iron gate and pointing at Fanny. Her voice was loud and intimidating, which caused Fanny to cover Britney’s mouth in fear.
As Fanny tried to silence Britney, Britney stepped back,
“What are you talking about? You’re spreading rumors! The police have cleared it up. It wasn’t me!” Fanny was so anxious that she wanted to open the door and shut Britney’s unguarded
mouth.

Britney stepped back a few paces. With hands on her hips, she continued yelling from a distance from the iron gate. “I don’t know how you managed to smooth things over with the police, but don’t think nobody knows! You wanted Mike dead the most!”
Worried that Britney’s loud voice would attract attention, Fanny angrily replied, “Shut up! How much do you want?”
Britney smugly held up a few fingers. “Let’s start with this amount for now. I don’t want to cause trouble for you, either.”
Reluctantly, Fanny went to get the money.
“If you come knocking on my door again, don’t expect to get any money!” she warned before handing over the money.
Britney took the money and began counting, ignoring the warning.
Not only that, she gave Fanny a disdainful look after counting the money.
Provoked by her gaze. Fanny angrily asked, “What’s with that look?”
Britney put the money away and pulled out a newspaper from her bag. “Why do Look at yourself! You’ve made a fool of yourself in the newspaper!”

ask?
She then threw the newspaper at Fanny’s face.
Seeing Fanny’s confused expression, she continued, “If you hadn’t embarrassed yourself in the newspaper, I could have gone back to Lynch’s village!”
Britney was deeply embarrassed. She was already humiliated in Lynch’s village by rumors accusing Fanny, Mike’s biological daughter, of causing his death.
Now, Fanny was spotted entering a hotel with a man known to have a girlfriend, an incident that made its way into the newspapers.
She remained oblivious to the news article about Fanny until someone from Lynch’s village reached out to her, seeking to verify its truthfulness.
