Serve No One This Life

Chapter 295 Let’s Discuss the Invitation Later

Even if Fanny attempted to call her family, her attempts would be futile. The defamation on the forum was orchestrated by Jonathan, and he had made it clear that he wouldn’t forgive her. The individual involved was definitely going to be detained.

“It’s easy for you to say. It’s not like you’re the one being detained.” Fanny was on the verge of tears, and her voice was meek as she expressed her grievances. “I don’t engage in defaming others, so why would I be detained? You’re being unreasonable. Just stay put and stop. insisting on making phone calls. Even if you manage to get through, he can’t bail you out. Whether you’re detained for a day or longer, it’s up to him.” With that said, the police officer silenced his phone and walked away.

Upon hearing this, Fanny was so angry that her eyes and nose turned red. “It’s all that Angela’s fault!” she cursed through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, Angela, who wasn’t aware of Fanny’s curses, had already returned home safely. Jonathan had not returned home yet. She took out the book Terence had given her and carefully took notes while reading it. Angela was lost in concentration when she suddenly received a call from Terence.

“Professor Terence, what’s up?” Angela wondered why Terence would suddenly contact her. She assumed that something must have happened. “I heard about the incident on the forum. I’ve been busy the past few days and didn’t notice it. Today, an apology was posted on the forum, and I saw it. You’ve been wronged.” Terence’s voice carried a sense of helplessness and guilt.

He had high hopes for Angela as a student, so he also hoped that she would succeed. However, he hadn’t expected that someone would dare to spread rumors about her. Furthermore, from the content of the apology letter, it can be seen that Winter instigated the person who slandered Angela.

Winter, whom he had also met a few times, was not a particularly impressive student. She was, however, considered a relatively good student in the college. He hadn’t expected that Winter wouldn’t be able to tolerate someone being better than her.

“It’s okay, Professor Terence. I’m not bothered as long as you don’t get dragged into it. Those rumors can’t hurt me either.” Angela felt a sense of warmth in her heart when she heard the concern in her professor’s voice. However, she also sensed some self–blame in Terence’s words, so she quickly reassured him.

When Terence noticed how Angela was comforting him instead, he felt even more indignant on her behalf. He finally had a promising student, and he couldn’t let her be bullied! “Don’t worry. The school will definitely give you an answer to this matter. The police have already

punished the two who apologized, and the school will investigate to know whether Winter is involved in this matter.”

After speaking, Terence made a promise to Angela. “If she really instructed others to do this, then her spot will be forfeited.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Angela didn’t expect the school to investigate this matter vigorously and even look into Winter. “Okay, Professor Terence. I understand. If there is anything I need to cooperate with, please let me know directly,” Angela replied after thinking about the situation for a moment. She had been troubled by other unpleasant things in her life recently, so she didn’t find the school’s matter particularly distressing.

But if there could be a better outcome, she would naturally be pleased. After discussing the second exam with Terence for a while, Angela hung up the phone. Jonathan also returned home around then. As soon as he entered, he went to Angela and gave her a hug. Angela felt nearly suffocated by his tight embrace, but she quickly reached out to hug Jonathan back.

“What’s wrong, Jonathan?” She asked, leaning against Jonathan, worried that he had encountered something bad too. “I miss you,” Jonathan said as he lifted her into his arms bridal–style.

“Huh?” Angela was startled. She hastily wrapped her arms around his neck. After the couple was affectionate for a while, Oliver knocked on the door with a fancy invitation in hand.

“Mrs. Lawson, Master Jonathan, someone specially sent an invitation over,” Oliver said.

Jonathan finally let go of Angela, but his expression didn’t look too pleasant then. Angela planted a gentle kiss on his check before stepping out of his embrace and hurrying to open the door. Oliver handed her the invitation and departed. Angela accepted it and returried to the room, unfolding it to examine the contents.

The invitation was for Cassandra’s birthday celebration. “Whose birthday is it?” Jonathan had a suspect in mind, but with the influx of visitors lately, he couldn’t pinpoint which family had sent the invitation.

“It’s for the Hayes Family’s daughter,” Angela replied, her hand trembling as the invitation slipped from her grasp and fluttered to the floor. She was shocked upon seeing Cassandra’s name. “We won’t go if you don’t wish to attend this.” Jonathan reassured her as he disregarded the invitation and pulled her close.

Upon hearing his words, Angela quickly quelled the faint fear in her heart. “Let’s attend this.” She reminded herself not to be afraid. Even if Cassandra had been Jonathan’s legal wife in his previous life, she refused to be intimidated. Now, she was Jonathan’s wife.

And perhaps, through the Hayes Family, she could uncover the reason behind Jonathan’s

death in his past life. She had been preoccupied lately and had neglected to investigate the circumstances of Jonathan’s demise in his previous life. Angela couldn’t fathom the idea of Jonathan taking his own life in his past existence.

Jonathan nodded before he planted a kiss on Angela’s forehead and stepped back. “Alright.. We’ll do as you say.” A romantic atmosphere surrounded the couple as Angela fixed her eyes on Jonathan’s.

A day later, Fanny was finally released. Angelina was set free at the same time. Despite only being confined for a day, both of them appeared weary. “Move aside. Don’t block my way. Angelina was filled with resentment, and upon catching Fanny‘ gaze, she snapped at her sharply.

“Why are you snapping at me? If you despise Angela so much, why don’t you direct your anger at her?” Fanny hissed back at the woman.

Angelina snorted. “Who told you that I despise Angela? I’m disgusted with you now! Are you truly Angela’s sister? The comments you posted make it seem like you’re not!” If it weren’t for Winter’s deception, Angelina wouldn’t have targeted Angela! However, since Winter had managed to deceive her, she was going to make Winter pay for her actions!

After taunting Fanny, Angelina walked away. She clearly couldn’t care less about Fanny. Fanny’s mental state was crumbling after enduring a series of injustices. She took a while to compose herself at her rented accommodation before she headed to the hospital. Her first priority was to visit Scarlet, and she tearfully knelt by her bedside once she got to the ward.

“Mom, please wake up soon. If you don’t, I will be tormented by Angela. She’s been bullying me while you were away.” Fanny didn’t care if Scarlet could hear her; she simply poured her heart out to the figure lying in the hospital bed. “Mom, I want to go home. Please wake up and take me home, okay?”

While Fanny wept, Scarlet’s caretaker stood by her side for a while before addressing her in an awkward tone. “Miss Angela, you’re pressing on your mother’s chest. She might have trouble breathing…” Fanny’s expression darkened. She glared at May before stepping back and sitting down to continue crying on the couch.

The caretaker also stepped back as she let out a silent sigh in response to the two–faced young lady. The caretaker didn’t think too much about it—she simply assumed that this was because Fanny had been pampered in her wealthy family. After crying for a while, Fanny went to Joseph with her eyes still red and swollen.

Upon seeing her, Joseph felt a pang of sorrow.
