Chapter 389 A Familiar Gaze

Jonathan escorted Angela to a luxurious mansion that offered both dining and lodging. While the exterior appeared flawless, the interior revealed a completely different world.

The waiter guided the pair to the secluded courtyard Jonathan had reserved in advance, complete with a private hot spring.

After a relaxing soak in the hot spring and a satisfying meal, Angela finally began to unwind after two days of tension.

Meanwhile, Florence’s expression darkened further following another unsuccessful attempt to track down Jonathan.

Growing increasingly frustrated, she turned to the man beside her and demanded, “Is this your idea of a plan? We haven’t even caught a glimpse of him!”

The man, sweating profusely, struggled to comprehend why Jonathan had managed to evade their monitoring area.

“Perhaps he… resides at the office?” he tentatively suggested.

Unable to come up with any other explanation, especially since they had stationed multiple individuals at various exits, he felt at a loss.

Filled with resentment, Florence impatiently inquired. “Is there any other way to locate him?”

After two days, she realized that Jonathan was purposefully avoiding her. Every time she attempted to find him at the company, he conveniently remained absent.

Despite her efforts to stake out the company building, Jonathan devised a method to elude her surveillance.

Florence was unable to find any opportunity to encounter Jonathan.

The astute n man beside her could only shake his head in resignation. The other party has shown no interest in the business proposal. There’s nothing more we can do.”

Florence glared at him. “If there’s no way, can’t you figure it out? You’re utterly useless.”

The man chose not to engage in an argument with Florence and simply hung his head.

After a moment, Florence impatiently remarked, “My brother’s funeral is scheduled for tomorrow. Jonathan should be present, right?”

“He should be, as the Shelton Family has also invited him.”

Prior to this, Florence had verbally invited Jonathan, but such an invitation needed to have formality. Subsequently, upon Florence mentioning the invitation to Jonathan, the Shelton Family sent an official

invite.

Upon hearing this, Florence finally relinquished her discontent and departed with her companions.

Angela refrained from further inquiries as she was not well–versed in Jonathan’s business affairs.

“Did the examination proceed smoothly?” Jonathan inquired.

“Without any hitches, Angela attirmed, proceeding to share details of the examination with Jonathan.

Listening with a smile, Jonathan and Angela enjoyed a harmonious atmosphere.

“Fine, Jonathan responded, adding. Thave a funeral to attend tomorrow, and l’in contemplating whether

to go.

“A funeral? Whose? Angela inquired curiously, as she was unaware of Jonathan’s acquaintances in Northland besides Yarrison and Spencer.

The eldest son of the Shelton Family

Initially, Jonathan had only received a verbal invitation from Florence and had not confirmed his attendance. However, he received a formal invitation from the Shelton Family before picking up Angela, prompting him to consider attending.

Frowning in thought. Angela recalled the presence of a Shelton Family in Northland after a moment of

reflection.

Since she had never interacted with anyone from the Shelton Family, her knowledge about them was

limited.

“Would you like me to accompany you?”

Angela speculated that Jonathan’s hesitation stemmed from his need to leave, so she inquired.

After a moment of contemplation. Jonathan nodded.

Following the test, Angela had a two–day break, during which Jonathan tried to keep her in his sight as much as possible.

After paying their respects, they made their way to the banquet hall.

To his surprise, he encountered Florence by chance.

As the heir of the Shelton Family. Florence was not entertaining guests but wandering aimlessly.

Upon spotting Jonathan, she approached them without hesitation.

“Mr. Lawson, it’s a pleasure to see you.” Florence greeted him.

Jonathan cordially greeted her and embraced Angela tightly.

“Who is this?” Florence recognized Angela from the information provided by her subordinates, but she asked anyway.

Instead of responding coldly, Jonathan introduced Angela. “She is my wife.”

Angela smiled warmly at Florence, but the gesture was interpreted as a challenge.

“Mrs. Lawson, Florence repeated, her expression unreadable.

“Miss Shelton,” Angela replied, sensing something off about Florence.

Florence remained silent, blocking their path.

Glancing at Jonathan for reassurance, Angela observed Florence’s peculiar gaze before the latter abruptly. left.

“Jonathan, who was that?” Angela inquired as they walked towards the banquet hall.

“That was Miss Shelton from the Shelton Family, Florence, Jonathan explained.

Recalling Florence’s unsettling gaze, Angela noticed Yaxley approaching.

“Yaxley,” she greeted.

After exchanging pleasantries, they realized the funeral was more than just a simple ceremony.

A member of the Shelton Family took the stage to express condolences for the late eldest son of the Shelton Family and introduce Florence as the heir.

As Angela watched Florence on stage, she noticed the intense gaze directed at Jonathan, reminiscent of

Cassandra

Feeling a sense of unease, she locked eyes with Florence, who seemed to be challenging her.

As Florence began speaking, Angela couldn’t shake the feeling of being scrutinized.
