Chapter 459 The Best Way To See Jonathan
It was sheer luck that Kaydron had set his sights on Angela, all thanks to the goading and encouragement from Fanny.
Now that I think about it, keeping an eye on Fanny might actually help us nail down the exact time for the bail, thought Yaxley.
His preemptive move to monitor Fanny was quite impressive.
“No kidding, Yaxley. Did you really anticipate that Fanny would bail out Kaydron?” He couldn’t help but admire him, though he was also puzzled.
Yaxley remained composed. “Just a stroke of luck.”
Even though he had let go of the issue after being manipulated by Fanny before, he couldn’t shake off the resentment entirely. Of course, he would have someone tailing her.
After seeing what she had been up to behind the scenes, he felt less bitter than before.
Noticing Yaxley’s subdued demeanor, Yoanna diverted Mobius‘ further questions and changed the subject. “Kaydron’s out. Angela, you need to watch your back.”
Observing the expressions and conversation of those present, Angela suspected that Mobius. must have informed Yaxley about yesterday’s encounter with Kaydron.
Upon learning that Yaxley had been discreetly watching over Fanny, despite his reluctance to reveal it, he showed genuine concern for her safety amidst Kaydron’s threat.
This considerate act by Yaxley warmed her heart and made her realize the comforting power of genuine friends.
“Yeah, I always have bodyguards around me, so I’m not worried about Kaydron coming back,” said Angela casually.
When Kaydron was mentioned, she didn’t bat an eye.
After all, he didn’t pose much of a threat. Even the people h
her were just ordinary.
brought last time to confront
However, if she could, she wouldn’t mind using him to give Fanny a hard time.
As long as he spilled the beans about Fanny, she wouldn’t have to worry about Fanny hiding behind him and acting all smug.
But after he was arrested yesterday, he played innocent and did not give up any info on who

might be pulling his strings.
When Yoanna heard her mention the bodyguards around her, she remembered the formidable strength of those men and couldn’t help but comment, “Mr. Lawson really cares. about you, and the people protecting you are really impressive.”
Angela smiled.
The conversation quickly moved on to other topics, but suddenly, Yaxley received a phone call and had to leave immediately.
“What’s wrong?” Angela asked.
Yaxley replied, “My grandmother is critically ill. Can you help me request leave for this afternoon’s training session?”
Upon hearing this, Angela nodded in agreement.
After Yaxley left, Mobius let out a heavy sigh. “Yaxley’s grandmother has been really sick before. I hope she makes it through this time…”
Even though he didn’t finish his sentence, everyone felt the underlying worry.
Yoanna’s face showed clear tension upon hearing the news, and Angela couldn’t shake off the unease either.
The group wrapped up their lunch and went their separate ways.
Angela took care of Yaxley’s leave first before heading to the classroom for the day’s training.
As she walked in, she noticed Tyler and Lara waiting for her.
They seemed
eager, and Lara greeted her with a smile, “Angela, where’s Yaxley?”
Angela wasn’t too keen on her overly friendly tone, so she furrowed her brow slightly before replying, “Yaxley is out on leave.”
Lara’s expression tightened upon hearing that Yaxley was absent.
She hesitated before saying, “Oh,” and then suggested, “Angela, training is almost done. How about we meet up tonight? Everyone else is up
for it.”
Angela shook her head. “I’ll pass. I’ve got someone waiting for me at home.”
She wasn’t heading home to replace someone waiting, but lately, Jonathan made it a habit to wait for her at the school/gate.

And honestly, she couldn’t care less about the get–togethers organized by Lara and her people.
In this crowd of trainees, aside from knowing Yaxley somewhat, she only really recognized Lara, Tyler, plus Telvis, who had helped Joseph spread rumors and slander her. She hadn’t bothered to mingle with the rest and had no desire to.
When Angela turned down the invitation once more, Tyler chimed in, “Angela, we’re all going. Wouldn’t it seem odd if you didn’t show?”
Angela lifted her gaze and asked him, “What’s so odd about it?”
Tyler’s expression shifted before he said, “It’s like not fitting in with the group.”
With a nonchalant tone, she replied. “If I don’t fit in, then so be it. I’m not even bothered by it, so why should you be?”
And with that, she headed straight to her seat.
Tyler pondered for a moment before following her and suggesting. “If today is not convenient for you, how about tomorrow? Yaxley won’t be on leave then.”
His implication was clear, insinuating that she was only skipping today because Yaxley couldn’t make it.
Annie couldn’t bear how he twisted things around, and his relentless pursuit only grated on her more.
“Sorry, but I’m tied up tomorrow, too, she stated firmly. Knowing her time in Northland was limited, she saw no reason to entertain his advances.
Regardless of whether she aced the upcoming test or not or if she moved on to the next phase, she wouldn’t linger in Northland for much longer.
If she progressed, she’d likely jet off abroad for further training. If not, she would have to head back to Riverdon to wrap up her studies.
But she was ready for either scenario; she had made peace with whatever the future held.
The afternoon training wrapped up swiftly, with Angela purposefully sidestepping Tyler’s attempts to catch her. She dashed out of the classroom without a backward glance.
Tyler intended to follow, but Oliver intercepted him and effectively blocked his view of Angela.
Before long, she was out of sight and was already a good distance ahead.

Upon exiting the school gates, she spotted the familiar black sedan waiting patiently. With purposeful strides, the made her way over, where Jonathan emerged from the car and closed the gap between them.
When he reached her, Angela, as usual, was enveloped in his embrace.
You’ve been putting in the hours, murmured Jonathan, his voice tinged with concern and longing
Angela felt her cheeks warm as if his breath had brushed against them.
“No, you’re the one pulling all the weight,” she whispered softly.
And she genuinely believed it, seeing how he juggled between home and the office lately, all while making time for her.
As they chatted, they settled into the back seat of the car, with Oliver naturally taking the front passenger seat.
Their bodyguards swiftly joined them in the car parked outside, trailing behind Jonathan’s vehicle.
Just as they pulled away, not too far off, in another car. Florence’s voice cut through the air, cold and sharp, “Is this your brilliant plan to see Jonathan?”
“Yeah, Miss Shelton, you did see him, didn’t you?” The man wore a smug expression as if he’d cracked the code.
But he couldn’t help but wonder why she hadn’t just stepped out of the car and approached Jonathan directly.
“You always come up with rubbish ideas! Why didn’t you just let me wait downstairs at his place!?” She scolded.
Strangely enough, even after the scolding, the man found himself nodding in agreement with her point and muttered, “Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?”
“Get lost.” She kicked him out of the car in disgust.
