Chapter 295 Letâs 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 wouldnât forgive her. The individual involved was definitely going to be detained.
âItâs easy for you to say. Itâs not like youâre the one being detained.â Fanny was on the verge of tears, and her voice was meek as she expressed her grievances. âI donât engage in defaming others, so why would I be detained? Youâre being unreasonable. Just stay put and stop. insisting on making phone calls. Even if you manage to get through, he canât bail you out. Whether youâre detained for a day or longer, itâs up to him.â 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. âItâs all that Angelaâs fault!â she cursed through gritted teeth.
Meanwhile, Angela, who wasnât aware of Fannyâs 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.
âProfessor Terence, whatâs up?â Angela wondered why Terence would suddenly contact her. She assumed that something must have happened. âI heard about the incident on the forum. Iâve been busy the past few days and didnât notice it. Today, an apology was posted on the forum, and I saw it. Youâve been wronged.â Terenceâs 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 hadnât 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 hadnât expected that Winter wouldnât be able to tolerate someone being better than her.
âItâs okay, Professor Terence. Iâm not bothered as long as you donât get dragged into it. Those rumors canât hurt me either.â
Angela felt a sense of warmth in her heart when she heard the concern in her professorâs voice. However, she also sensed some selfâblame in Terenceâs 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 couldnât let her be bullied! âDonât worry. The school will definitely give you an answer to this matter.
The police have already 1/3 punished the two who apologized, and the school will investigate to know whether Winter is involved in this matter.â
After speaking, Terence made a promise to Angela. âIf she really instructed others to do this, then her spot will be forfeited.â
Angela didnât expect the school to investigate this matter vigorously and even look into Winter. âOkay, Professor Terence. I understand. If there is anything I need to cooperate with, please let me know directly,â Angela replied after thinking about the situation for a moment. She had been troubled by other unpleasant things in her life recently, so she didnât find the schoolâs 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.
âWhatâs wrong, Jonathan?â She asked, leaning against Jonathan, worried that he had encountered something bad too. âI miss you,â Jonathan said as he lifted her into his arms bridalâstyle.
âHuh?â 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.
âMrs. Lawson, Master Jonathan, someone specially sent an invitation over,â Oliver said.
Jonathan finally let go of Angela, but his expression didnât 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 Cassandraâs birthday celebration. âWhose birthday is it?â Jonathan had a suspect in mind, but with the influx of visitors lately, he couldnât pinpoint which family had sent the invitation.
âItâs for the Hayes Familyâs daughter,â Angela replied, her hand trembling as the invitation slipped from her grasp and fluttered to the floor. She was shocked upon seeing Cassandraâs name. âWe wonât go if you donât wish to attend this.â 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. âLetâs attend this.â She reminded herself not to be afraid. Even if Cassandra had been Jonathanâs legal wife in his previous life, she refused to be intimidated. Now, she was Jonathanâs wife.
And perhaps, through the Hayes Family, she could uncover the reason behind Jonathanâs death in his past life. She had been preoccupied lately and had neglected to investigate the circumstances of Jonathanâs demise in his previous life. Angela couldnât fathom the idea of Jonathan taking his own life in his past existence.
Jonathan nodded before he planted a kiss on Angelaâs forehead and stepped back. âAlright.. Weâll do as you say.â A romantic atmosphere surrounded the couple as Angela fixed her eyes on Jonathanâs.
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. âMove aside. Donât block my way. Angelina was filled with resentment, and upon catching Fannyâ gaze, she snapped at her sharply.
âWhy are you snapping at me? If you despise Angela so much, why donât you direct your anger at her?â Fanny hissed back at the woman.
Angelina snorted. âWho told you that I despise Angela? Iâm disgusted with you now! Are you truly Angelaâs sister? The comments you posted make it seem like youâre not!â If it werenât for Winterâs deception, Angelina wouldnât 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 couldnât care less about Fanny. Fannyâs 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.
âMom, please wake up soon. If you donât, I will be tormented by Angela. Sheâs been bullying me while you were away.â Fanny didnât care if Scarlet could hear her; she simply poured her heart out to the figure lying in the hospital bed. âMom, I want to go home. Please wake up and take me home, okay?â
While Fanny wept, Scarletâs caretaker stood by her side for a while before addressing her in an awkward tone. âMiss Angela, youâre pressing on your motherâs chest. She might have trouble breathing...â Fannyâs 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 twoâfaced young lady. The caretaker didnât think too much about itâshe 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.
