Chapter 297 Stop Pretending
“What do you mean? You need to come to the hospital today! Otherwise, I'll
cause a scene at your school and expose you as being a heartless person who
wouldn't even save her own mother!” George was in trouble with the police, so
he was willing to go to extremes if he thought that it would benefit him.
“It's been a while since we last spoke, and it seems like you've become even
more shameless.” After Angela finished speaking, she abruptly ended the call.
George hadn't expected Angela to have the audacity to hang up on him. He was
on the verge of exploding in rage! He tried calling Angela a few more times, but
each time, she ended his call. Later on, he couldn't even hear the dial tone on his
end. It was as if he had been blocked!
“The audacity! How dare that brat block me!” George was fuming. He left the
hospital in a rush and headed to Angela's residence. He knew Angela's address
in Springgate Estates, but upon his arrival, Oliver intercepted him at the gate.
With a stern expression, Oliver set down his meal and questioned George.
“What's the matter?”
“I need to see Angela!” George was still seething, and his demeanor turned even
more hostile after being stopped by Oliver. “Mrs. Lawson does not wish to see
you.” After Oliver spoke, he resumed his meal at the table in the yard.
George was taken aback by the other man’s words. “I am Angela's father! How
dare she refuse to see me? Let me in immediately!” he exclaimed angrily.
However, Oliver completely disregarded him and continued eating. George was
both frantic and irate, and he began to shout.
He didn’t seem to care about the potential ridicule or embarrassment he would
face then. He simply demanded to see Angela immediately.
“Shush!” Oliver eventually stood up and opened the gate. Just as George was
about to enter the gate triumphantly, Oliver lifted him up and tossed him several
meters away from the gate. “You can continue shouting now.” George's face
paled as he attempted to rise and grab Oliver. Yet, Oliver effortlessly threw him
over his shoulder and onto the ground.
“Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!” George lay on the ground, howling without any concern
for his dignity. With no one else around, he howled even louder. “Stop
pretending. Why are you clutching your stomach? You fell on your bottom!” Oliver
found it rather amusing to watch the man howling on the ground.
George ceased holding his stomach. His bottom was indeed a bit sore, but he
was too
1/3
embarrassed to clutch it. The fact that he was lying down on the ground and
howling showed how desperate he was-the police had practically cornered him
into this. Since he was unable to swallow his pride and nurse his bottom, George
began to threaten Oliver once more. “You better bring Angela out! Otherwise, I'll
make sure you pay for today! Do you I won't call the police!?"
think
“Go ahead and call the police. 1 acted in self-defense, and there's surveillance
here. Feel free to call the police.” Oliver gestured to the surveillance camera on
the roadside and then retreated into the yard. George's expression darkened. He
walked to the gate and started shouting once more.
“No one is going to come even if you
Oliver couldn't be bothered at the shouting. The house has good soundproofing
point. He simply resumed his meal.
“You-!" George had no choice but to call James. James was surprised that
George had personally gone to Springgate Estates to look for Angela, and he
didn’t understand why he had to call Angela to inform her. Despite his confusion,
he was too busy to delve into the reasons behind it. He only had time to give
Angela a short call.
However, when James called Angela, the call went unanswered. His assistant
alerted him of a meeting that he had. He didn't hesitate to proceed directly to the
conference room, as he figured that Angela would return his call after seeing his
missed call.
Meanwhile, George continued shouting outside Springgate Estates even after
telling James to give Angela a call. After Oliver's harsh treatment, George made
sure to keep some distance. However, he continued to call out for Angela and
even started to curse.
Oliver told him that the house had good soundproofing, but he thought that
someone would still hear him in the end. But to his surprise, no one came down
to get him even after an hour. Didn't James notify Angela? He called James
again, and James, who had just finished a meeting, responded in a weary tone.
“What how?"
James felt like no one in the family was reliable at that moment. George, in
particular, was unreliable not only because he abandoned the company, but also
because he kept involving himself in embarrassing incidents in public. “I asked
you to call Angela. Did you tell her I'm downstairs?” George yelled at James in
anger.
“I just finished a meeting, and I forgot to call her. Give me a moment.” After
saying that, James hung up and called Angela.
Meanwhile, in Springgate Estates, Angela closed her book after reading for a
while. She was feeling anxious over the banquet that was happening the next
day. Although she had only met Cassandra a few times, she couldn't help but
worry that she wouldn't measure up to someone as outstanding as Cassandra
and that she wouldn't be good enough for Jonathan
Lawson.

In an attempt to clear her mind, Angela decided to practice her acupuncture
techniques. She had learned medicine from her grandmother since she was
young, and over the past decade, she had perfected her skill in the art of
acupuncture. She diligently practiced day after day to achieve such skills.

Often, practicing needlework allowed
her to calm her mind and focus solely
on the tiny needles. It helped her to
block out distractions coming from
the outside world. After half an hour
of practice, Angela felt a thin layer of
sweat on her forehead. Immersed in
her favorite and focused activity, her
sense of frustration began to
dissipate. The content is on

noticed several missed calls on her
phone. All the missed calls were from
James, so Angela returned the call.

Is everything okay?” Angela's tone
was not warm—she was just
concerned that there might be an
issue with Zacharias. That was what
prompted her to call back. The

But what could he do? Angela seemed to have disappeared, and she wasn’t
answering his calls. If Angela hadn't called him back, he would have thought she
had blocked him, too.
“What's with the attitude? Mr. Kins, are you ordering me around?” she snapped.
As soon as ames heard Angela's words, he knew something was wrong. He
quickly tried to remedy the situation. “Please, for Jonathan's sake, don't argue
with our dad. Just unblock his number.”
“He's
your dad, not mine.” Angela replied. She had drawn clear boundaries after
leaving the Kins Family. She could still recall vivid memories of how they had
looked at and treated her. How can James choose to conveniently forget such
things? How can he say that George is “our dad?
Alright, he’s downstairs now. Just go meet him. He wants you to go to the
hospital to see mom. I promise he won't cause any trouble!” James uttered.
Tell him to wait, Angela said. George was downstairs, and he seemed to have
waited for a while. She didn’t want to be too cruel, so she reluctantly agreed.
After receiving Angela's response, James immediately called George.
