Chapter 427 Being Threatened
While Fanny finished confiding in Joseph about the threat she had received, Angela completed her morning training.
Angela was strolling towards the cafeteria with Yaxley, where Yoanna and Mobius were already waiting.
“Yaxley!” Someone suddenly approached from behind, blocking their path.
Yaxley paused and turned towards the person who called out to him, inquiring, “What’s going on?”
Angela recognized the individual as Jack, a fellow trainee who seldom spoke.
“Well, I spotted your girlfriend earlier, and it looks like she’s being unfaithful to you,” Jack awkwardly scratched his head, preventing Yaxley from offering a friendly greeting.
Yaxley was perplexed. “My girlfriend?”
“Yeah, your girlfriend. Didn’t she come to see you earlier?” Jack innocently remarked.
Yaxley immediately thought of Fanny and responded. Thank you for informing me, but we’ve already ended our relationship
There was more to the situation between him and Fanny, but he saw no need to explain it in detail to Jack. Jack nodded in understanding and walked away.
Angela overheard a few snippets of the conversation and speculated that Jack might have seen Fanny with Christopher, but she did not dwell on it.

Yaxley could not engage in idle chatter, so they continued to the cafeteria without further discussion. Meanwhile, as Jack departed, Tyler intercepted
him.
Lara, listening in with Tyler, had a brief exchange with Jack in which it was mentioned in passing that Yaxley and Fanny had broken up.
“Oh, I see,” Tyler sighed, glancing at Lara after Jack had left. “Hmm, I didn’t expect that.”
Lara shot him a look. “Don’t stir up
trouble.”
The ongoing feud between the Collier Residence, the Tuckson Family, and the Lime Family had caused quite a commotion. While the younger generation did not know all the details, they understood that Yaxley was not someone to be trifled with.
Tyler shrugged silently. “I didn’t intend to cause any trouble.”
Although he found Yaxley irritating, he considered his actions carefully. He might make a few sarcastic remarks towards her at most in the current situation, but he would not take any significant steps to craft specific insults.
Lara shot him another look before departing.
Angela and Yaxley were at the cafeteria when Yoanna arrived, waving at them from a distance, and soon, they were all gathered together.
“Angela, after this afternoon’s training, let’s watch the new movie together,” Yoanna eagerly proposed.
Before Angela could respond, she added, “I also invited Ava to join us!”
Angela reluctantly declined, “I’m not going. I have to go to Jonathan’s company.”

Yoanna exclaimed, “How about after the movie?”

Mobius interjected, “What’s so special about that movie? If Angela doesn’t want to go, she doesn’t have to.”
Yoanna pushed him aside, saying disdainfully, “You’re upset I didn’t invite you. Why would you want to come watch a movie with us girls?”
“I don’t care!” Mobius huffed, then turned to Angela, “Angela, you don’t have to go. Just go to the company.”
They were all familiar with Jonathan, having seen him around, especially when he came to pick up Angela.
While Yoanna had known from the start that Jonathan was Angela’s husband, Mobius had only recently discovered this. Upon learning that Angela was already married, Yoanna was only mildly surprised.
“Okay,” Angela smiled at Mobius, “then I’ll leave Yoanna and Ava to watch a movie with you.”
Yoanna snorted. “He’s not going. There’s no way he’s going! It’s okay, Angela, Ava, and I will proceed first.”
“Hmph, I’m not interested in going either,” Mobius glared at Yoanna, “What’s so good about it!”
“You’re just jealous!”
Angela watched them start bickering, as usual, already used to it.
Yaxley was calmly eating his meal as if he hadn’t heard them bickering.
As they wrapped up their meal, Angela’s cellphone rang.
She glanced at it, noticed it was from an unknown number, and chose not

to answer.
*Free Cons
After hanging up, Angela realized that both of them, who had been bickering while eating, were staring at her.
Even Yaxley stopped eating and looked at her; they all seemed worried.
“What’s wrong?” Angela put her cell phone away and asked.
Mobius asked worriedly, “Are you okay, Angela?”
Angela shook her head, “I’m fine. What could be wrong.”
“Then why didn’t you answer the phone? Who was calling?” Yoanna continued to ask curiously.
Under normal circumstances, Angela Kins would be okay with hanging up a call.
But Angela’s mood immediately changed. Her scowl was different from the usual frown. They could be sure that after seeing the number just now, a sense of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Angela smiled. “It’s nothing, just a random number. I don’t want to
answer.”
When she saw an unknown number, she immediately thought of the annoying Kins Family and hung up. Also, Joseph had called her last night from a landline number, so when she saw an unknown number now, she instinctively thought of him..
She was having lunch and did not want to receive a call from someone who disgusted her.
She thought that whether Zacharias was dying, Scarlet was sick, or Fanny was missing, it had nothing to do with me.

Yes, Joseph had called her last night to replace Fanny.
Before she hung up the phone. Joseph shouted at her, questioning if she knew what had happened to Fanny and where she was.
“Angela, if you have anything bothering you, tell me!” Yoanna’s voice brought her back from her confused state.
Angela replied with a relieved smile, knowing Yoanna came from a sincere play, “Okay. I will, don’t worry.”
Just as she finished speaking, another call came in from an unknown number again.
Without hesitation, Angela hung up, already thinking about changing her number.
After all, she only needed to contact a few people, so changing her number would be fine.
On the other end, Joseph had his call rejected twice in a row, his face turning dark with anger.
Listening to the busy tone, he returned the cell phone to his colleague.
Thinking about what Fanny had told him before and combining it with Angela’s current avoidance, he felt even more resentful toward her. Unable to reach her, and with Fanny still waiting for him in the hospital room, he decided to hurry towards the ward.
In the hospital, Fanny was feeling emotionally unstable, and Joseph wast afraid that Zacharias and Scarlet would realize something was going on, so he did not let her stay with them. Instead, he listed Fanny in a separate room and temporarily settled her there.
Inside the separate room, Fanny received an image and a text message.

The text message contained the name of a movie theater and a time. She did not pay much attention, thinking it was just a wrong number.
However, her whole body froze when she saw the photo in the multimedia message. She tightly held onto her cell phone as if she could hold onto her dignity by doing so.
