Chapter 466 I Like To Stare at Him At Florenceâs inquiry, Angela shifted her gaze to the bodyguard and James, contemplating the unfolding scene. Catching Angelaâs glance, the bodyguard promptly announced, âTime to go. Escort him out.â
Recalling her earlier instruction, Angela realized the time had elapsed as the bodyguard led James away. âRelease him,â she instructed calmly.
Following her directive, the bodyguard freed James. Momentarily released, James stood still, his disbelief evident as he locked eyes with Angela, who seemed distant.
Sensing the tension, Angela averted her gaze, stating, âI wonât see you off.â Jamesâ expression betrayed a mix of emotions, understanding that lingering would serve no purpose. He departed hastily, disappearing into the elevator.
As James left, Angela turned to Florence, extending an invitation, âIâm heading home. Would you like to join me, Miss Shelton?â
Florence, however, ignored the offer and posed a question instead, âDid you hit your brother?â
Angela refuted the accusation calmly, âHeâs not my brother, and I didnât hit him.â Florence persisted. âIf you hit him, just admit it.
Why deny it?â Angela carefully studied Florenceâs expression and noticed a hint of excitement, unable to decipher her intentions.
Unable to comprehend, she decided to walk towards the elevator. âLetâs go, Miss Shelton.â Florence shook her head. âYou go your way. Iâll stay here and keep an eye on Jonathan.â Angela started to feel irritated. Anyone would feel uncomfortable having their spouse stared at like this.
âMiss Shelton, perhaps itâs best to refrain from fixating on other peopleâs spouses. There are plenty of other options out there,â
Angela remarked calmly, noting Florenceâs brazen behavior. Despite her seeming irrationality, Florenceâs directness contrasted sharply with the underhanded tactics typical of the Kins Family, particularly Fanny, who thrived on causing constant unease and annoyance.
Florenceâs defiant stare didnât waver. âI simply enjoy his company, whether heâs taken or not. Whatâs it to you?â Florence defiantly stared at Angela. She was confident that Angela wouldnât treat her the same way she treated James, hence her bold attitude.
âShe wonât intervene because youâre not worth the effort.â A deep voice interrupted, ending the standoff between the two.
Florence pivoted and found Jonathan in her line of sight, his unwavering attention fixed on Angela, who met his gaze with a mix of intrigue and affection. The connection between them was palpable.
âJonathan,â Angelaâs voice rang out, deliberate in its warmth, as she sought to showcase their bond before Florence.
1/3 10:23 Sat, Chapter 466 I Like To Stare at Him 15 Free Cone A soft smile played on Angelaâs lips, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Jonathan, unfazed by Florenceâs presence, strode purposefully towards Angela, disregarding Florence entirely, âShall we head home?â Jonathanâs tone was gentle yet resolute as he reached Angelaâs side, their shared connection evident.
Florence, trailing behind them, couldnât contain her frustration. âJonathan, after all this effort to find you, and you donât even acknowledge me?â she protested. Jonathan spared her a fleeting glance, a hint of sarcasm in his response. However, he remained focused on Angela, dismissing Florence with practiced indifference.
Jonathan wrapped his arm around Angelaâs waist as they stepped into the elevator, sharing a brief embrace before the doors slid open once more. With Oliver and the bodyguard in tow, they filled the confined space, leaving Florence stranded outside, obstructed by the imposing figures of the guards.
âPlease, I need to get in!â Florenceâs frustration boiled over, her ire now directed towards Oliver and the entourage. Angelaâs voice, gentle yet firm, intervened, âMiss Shelton, the elevator is at capacity. Youâll have to wait for the next one.â
âHow can it be full with just four people? Jonathan, is this how you treat your guests?â. Florenceâs accusation hung in the air, met with Angelaâs serene smile. Angelaâs smile carried a hint of innocence as she remarked, âIsnât it full? It certainly appears that way to me. Right, Jonathan?â
Jonathanâs smirk conveyed a sense of amusement as he indulged her, saying, âYes, indeed. Itâs full.â Undeterred, Florence made another attempt to halt the elevatorâs descent, only to have her arm firmly grasped by another vigilant bodyguard. With a smooth motion, the doors closed, sealing off any chance of interference.
Even as the elevator carried them away, Angela couldnât resist stealing glances at Florenceâs escalating frustration, finding a strange satisfaction in the sight.
Pleased with Jonathanâs playful cooperation, Angela felt a warm glow of contentment wash over her as she reflected on their shared moment.
Concerned for her wellâbeing, Jonathanâs gentle voice broke through the tension, âAre you okay?â Angela shook her head with a reassuring smile. âIâm fine.â
With Oliver standing steadfastly beside her, Angela felt shielded from any harm, especially when confronted by individuals like James and Florence. Jonathanâs smile echoed her sentiment. âThatâs good.â
As they ascended, the atmosphere inside the elevator remained both harmonious and tense. Florenceâs futile attempts to break free from the bodyguardâs grasp only added to the tension, a silent reminder of the brewing conflict that lay ahead.
After the elevator descended, her arm was finally released, and she raised her hand as if to L O 2/3 Chapter strike someone.
The bodyguard blocked her, but Florence cursed, âHow dare you stop me? Just wait and see!â Spencer appeared at the opportune moment, looking nonchalant as he asked, âIs Miss Shelton causing trouble on our turf?â
Florence coldly replied, âI came to see Jonathan, and your people are stopping me! Whoâs causing trouble here? I think itâs him.â
Spencer innocently said, âThose are not my people. They belong to Jon.â
The bodyguard, expressionless, said, âMiss Shelton, I apologize for the previous offense, but stopping you was indeed Mr.
Lawsonâs intention.â
Florenceâs expression darkened, and she was about to say something when Spencer interjected, âJon and his wife have already left. Why donât you go and protect them?â
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard nodded at Spencer and then walked past Florence to wait for the elevator.
Feeling completely ignored, Florence was about to explode, but then she heard Spencer say, âMiss Shelton, are you looking for someone to chat with? How about chatting with me?â
He deliberately misunderstood Florenceâs intent to meet Jonathan, hoping to agitate her into leaving. Yet, to his surprise, Florence simply looked at him and said, âSure. Letâs talk.â Spencerâs smile faltered, but Florence felt immensely satisfied.
Observing Spencerâs hesitation, she took charge and suggested, âLead the way. Letâs talk in your office.â
Unable to reach Jonathan and with Spencerâs approach, she decided to play along and enjoy herself.
Regretting the absence of allies, she entertained the thought of at least giving Spencer a minor scare.
Met with her suspicious gaze, Spencer proposed, âThe office is a mess. Letâs chat in the meeting room.â
Unable to bring her to his office, he aimed to exchange a few words and send her on her way. Florence agreed, heading to the meeting room.
Reluctantly following, Spencer hoped to glean some information about the Shelton Family from their conversation, which was not an entirely unwelcome prospect.
As Florence impulsively agreed to chat with Spencer, she also considered probing him about Jonathan. Consequently, their conversation veered off course. After a few exchanges, Spencer interjected, âMiss Shelton, Iâm rather busy today. How about we chat another time?â
