Chapter 3 Don't Butter Me Up

• "Alright."
• Angela smiled and agreed readily.
• This stunned George, as he had expected Angela to cry and make a scene for a long time.
• George's expression softened, and he became more patient in comforting her, "That's my good girl. Now go and rest well."
• Having achieved their purpose, they wouldn't stay any longer, and soon all turned to leave.
• But watching Fanny's retreating figure, a cold gleam flashed in Angela's eyes.
• In this lifetime, she wouldn't let Fanny have the chance to attend that speech competition. Not a chance in hell.
• As the door closed, Angela closed her eyes. Her heart was calm at this moment.
• It turned out that not yearning for the warmth of family and no longer being a sycophant could be so satisfying.
• In her previous life, she was too arrogant, always thinking that as long as she was sensible enough and excellent enough, she could integrate into this family. But what did she get in return?
• She had done her utmost for the Kins Family.
• Since I have a chance to start over, I need to live a different life and not repeat the same mistakes.
• The door was pushed open again, and Angela impatiently turned to look at the person coming in, Joseph, who had just left and returned.
• He walked to the bedside and said to Angela, "Angela, don't be so stubborn. It shouldn't be so difficult to apologize to Fanny and promise that you won't do such things again. As long as you do that, you will still be seen favorably by everyone, and Mom and Dad won't ignore you."
• "What would you say if I told you those thugs were hired by Fanny?" Angela smiled.
• "Impossible! Fanny isn't that kind of person!" Joseph's face changed, and he immediately denied it.
• "So in my brother's eyes, I'm that kind of person?" Angela was hurt, but she didn't show it. In her previous life, she had never doubted Fanny, but this time, she was no fool and sensed something was off.
• Although she had protected Fanny, but those thugs, as if by agreement, only targeted her. Thinking of Fanny's hypocrisy, Angela had her suspicions.
• But apart from her, no one would believe it. Because in the Kins family's eyes, Fanny was the beloved, the kindest person in the world.
• The disappointment in Joseph's eyes deepened, "Angela, I didn't expect you to speak of Fanny like this. You've really disappointed me."
• The door was closed again,and Angela shook her head, the one who was really disappointed.
• After all the commotion, Angela felt a bit thirsty and got up to find some water to drink.
• The hospital corridor was filled with all kinds of people.
• During this period, there was no distinction between outpatient and inpatient departments in the hospital, and the space was limited. It was not uncommon for several people to share a ward.
• After getting some cold water from the water dispenser in the corner, Angela took a few big sips and felt much better.
• She then got some hot water and was about to leave when she turned around and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair behind her.
• The man had deep facial features and was dressed in a neatly tailored shirt. His sleeves were casually rolled up, revealing his long and fair wrists.
• Even in a wheelchair, his noble and cold temperament couldn't be hidden.
• Angela had seen him twice before. He was Christopher's half-brother.
• It was rumored that Jonathan had suffered from a chronic illness since childhood, but he had exceptional talent in business.
• He held the fate of the Sanders Family in his hands, so he had a supreme position in the family. Although he was the eldest son of the Sanders Family, he didn't bear the Sanders surname for some unknown reason.
• And most importantly, Jonathan would pass away at a young age due to illness in two years.
• At that thought, Angela's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at Jonathan's almost perfect profile, seeing complexity in his eyes.
• Due to her previous life, Angela was completely devoted to her family and had no idea when Jonathan passed away. Later, when she heard about it, she couldn't help but feel regretful for a while.
• "Hello, Jonathan," Angela stammered as she greeted him.
• Upon hearing Angela's voice, Jonathan, with his ink-colored eyes, raised his gaze and looked at her, "A friend of Christopher from the Kins Family?"
• Angela nodded hesitantly, somewhat surprised that he knew. "Yes..."
• Although the man had an exceptionally handsome appearance, his eyes were too cold, emitting a chilling aura. Angela felt uneasy, unconsciously gripping the cup in her hand.
• In her previous life, she had fallen for Christopher and pursued him relentlessly, and almost everyone knew about it.
• During the two visits to his family, she tried to win their favor by being overly accommodating and flattering. She thought she had done well.
• But later, she found out that they thought she was a joke.
• They mocked her behind her back, saying she lacked self-respect as a girl, chasing after a man like that, being frivolous and lowly.
• Glancing at the water dispenser, then at Jonathan's wheelchair, Angela kindly took the cup from Jonathan's hand and got some water for him.
• Jonathan held the cup in his hand, his narrow eyes turning slightly as he calmly said, "You don't need to please me; I have no say in Christopher's affairs."
• Angela's eyes widened. Jonathan believed that she was doing this to please him so he would put in a good word for her with Christopher.
• "I didn't! I was genuinely concerned about you," Angela nervously clenched her hand and lowered her gaze, saying softly, "And besides, I no longer have feelings for Christopher."
• Whether it was the Kins Family or Christopher, she was done being their puppet.
