Chapter 148 The Phoenix
Angela pushed Britney aside without paying attention to Scarlet’s anger. “Are you sure you are my legal mother? Are you sure
you want me to acknowledge you? Huh?” Angela gave Britney an icy glare while speaking in a chilly tone.
Britney rubbed the painful spot on her wrist. She was in too much pain to speak for a moment, but this also gave her some time
to clear her mind. When Angela was young, she was always treated as a burden. As a child, she was either scolded, beaten, or
used as free labor–food was only given as a means of keeping her alive. Now that she’s successful, and especially since the’s
not my biological child, she really isn’t obligated to do anything for me. Hore could I expect her to come back to me? Britney
though
Fanny was her biological child, and they were connected by blood. Fanny was someone who wouldn’t be able to get rid of her.
Moreover, the Kins Family clearly only cared about her biological child, so she had to hold on tightly to her own flesh and blood!
After sorting it out, Britney straightened her back, snorted, and swept past the people of the Kins Family. T almost got fooled by
you guys! She is not my biological daughter. Don’t try to deceive me just because I can’t find my biological daughter! If you don’t
call my biological daughter over now, I will make the whole Riverdon know that you are keeping my daughter away from me and
bullying a country bumpkin like
me.”
Angela rubbed her palms together as she looked at the scene before her eyes with a smile on her face. This is more like it, she
thought. Samuel was so angry that his chest heaved violently. His face was burning, and he clenched his fists in preparation to
smash Angela’s face. At this moment, Oliver rushed out from a comer before fiercely grabbing Samuels
arm and throwing him over his shoulder. Thud! Then, Oliver quickly twisted Samuel’s arm and pressed it against his back.
Both the sound of bones cracking and Samuel’s screams filled the air simultaneously. Aside from Angela, the Kins and Britney
were all shocked by this sudden turn of events. Scarlet screamed and was about to rush over, but James held her back. “Mom,
she belongs to Jonathan now,” he whispered.
Scenes of the past replayed themselves as Samuel writhed in pain. Hatred suddenly bubbled in his chest, along with a hint of
regret. I should have... found a place where no one was around, he thought. Angela glanced over at James and George, who
were holding themselves back. A mocking smile surfaced on her lips as she looked at Samuel. “You truly are the most brainless
one in the Kins Family.”
“Angela!” Scarlet pointed at her angrily. “You’re becoming more audacious! Just because you’ve attached yourself to Jonathan,
you think you’re soaring like a phoenix above all of us. You never know when you might fall down!” Scarlet shouted.
As her words fell, another cold and indifferent voice spoke up. “My lady can be audacious if she wants to. As long as I support
her, she won’t fall.” Jonathan was wheeled over by Simon, and Angela’s eyes lit up when she saw him. “Jonathan, weren’t you
busy? Why did you suddenly come?” she asked.
I’m done with my work. I came to pick you up. Jonathan’s tone changed into one that was gentler as he took her hand into his.
George couldn’t help but feel nervous when he saw the situation. He glanced at James, whose expression also showed a hint of
uncase.
The father and son exchanged a glance before they both put on a smile and approached. Jonathan. George bent down with a
warm smile, “Mr. Lawson, my wife didn’t mean what she said just now. It was all
a misunderstanding. She was upset that Angela married you without telling us. Fanny is engaged to Christopher, and now
Angela is married to you. Our families are really getting closer.”

Jonathan raised an eyebrow as he shifted his intimidating gaze to George. The look in Jonathan’s eyes sent shivers down
George’pme. “If I remember correctly. Angela has already been adopted by the Donald Fanuby, so she has nothing to do with the
Kins Family, right?”
jonathan’s gaze shifted back to see the calm look on Angela’s face, and a hint of a smile surfaced on his hips. Is that correct.
Angela
Yes.” Angela replied.
George’s smile froze, and he felt a wave of regret and frustration. How could Angela keep this from them for so long, especially
when she had been married to Jonathan for almost two weeks already? Realizing that Angela had planned this all along, George
felt a surge of anger.
Jonathan gently stroked her soft hand with his thumb as he looked at George with a relaxed expression. “I heard that the latest
municipal project has already been offered to the Kins Family”
George paled when he came back to his senses. “Mr. Lawson...”
“Mr. Kins Jonathan interrupted him casually, his tone amused. “That project is quite large. It’s not easy to complete it. In order to
thank the Kins Family for taking care of Angela, the Lawson Family has helped you bear some of the burden. In the future, if
there are similar challenges, the Lawson Family will also be happy to assist.”
The new government project was the result of George and James efforts for nearly six months, and they didn’t know how much
money they had invested in it. However, if the Lawson Family wanted to take it away, they would be able to do so with the snap
of a finger. Moreover, the connections they had painstakingly built in the city government would also be severed.
And Jonathan’s casual remark about the Lawson Family helping with similar challenges meant that the Kins Family would never
be able to grow in Riverdon. They wouldn’t have the chance to secure any major contracts in the future. George was sweating
profusely as he tried to come up with a response.
James‘ lips were tight, and his voice steady as he spoke. “Mr. Lawson, this is just a minor issue. There’s no need to blow it out of
proportion. Angela is my sister, and we were just joking around.” After speaking. James looked at Angela as if saying. Hurry up
and resolve this for me. Angela!
Angela wanted to laugh. Why is James acting all noble and haughty? Angela tilted her head and tucked her hair behind her ear
while pretending not to understand his message. James pursed his lips as the color drained out of his face. Scarlet had also lost
her momentum and rage at that point, but deep down, she was still unhappy about the situation. It’s my right to discipline Angela!
What right does Jonathan have to interfere?! Even if Angela marries Jonathan, I’m still his mother–in–law, and Samuel is still his
nephew. How can she treat her nephew like this?
But since her husband didn’t dare to speak up. Scarlet had no choice but to hold her anger in. The rage that she suppressed
within her chest was so intense that she felt like she was about to explode. Jonathan slowly lowered his gaze to glance at
Samuel, who was still lying on the ground. Samuel was in too much pain to speak.
Although his expression was as cold as ice, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. “I don’t like to play around,” he hissed.
James‘ face darkened. He stood frozen in his spot, and he felt like there was a lump in his throat that stopped him from
speaking. Angela pursed her lips to form a scorn on her delicate face. Jonathan is right. I have already been adopted by Uncle
Donald’s family. James, even if you consider me your sister, I’m

actually just your cousin.”

“It’s best for elders not to meddle in other people’s affairs,” Jonathan spoke calmly before looking at Angela with a gentle smile
on his face. “Are you tired? Let’s go back and have May make us something to eat.” Angela smiled slightly. “Okay.” As she
spoke, she naturally took the wheelchair from Simon before pushing it and striding off with Jonathan.
George tried to contain his fear as he wiped his sweat and dragged James along with him. He wasn’t ready to give up on going
after them.
Simon shot him a cold glance as he extended his arm out. “You should know your limits, Mr. Sanders.” All of a sudden, there was
a crisp sound of bones breaking, followed by a muffled groan from Samuel.
