Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Nothing Good Comes From Escalation It felt as if a veil had been lifted from a precious gem, revealing its dazzling brilliance. Jonathan closed the book and spoke softly.

“It’s quite rare.”

Sebastias pondered for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t we inform the police station and request the increased attention?

Let’s not be careless and overlook this as a minor issue.”

Only she could treat Master Jonathan’s illness. It’s only natural to show concern and care.

Jonathan didn’t respond immediately. He shifted his gaze, lowered his head, and reopened the book. After a while, he whispered. “Hmm, let’s use the home phone to make the call.”

Sebastian happily agreed and dialed the number using the landline.

The next day, early in the morning, Genevieve had prepared porridge and came to call Angela for breakfast. Unable to refuse her hospitality, Angela had no choice but to go and drink a bowl of porridge.

A few years ago, Harold suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. It was Charlotte who cured him, and she never accepted any consultation fees. The two families were neighbors, so they often interacted. Since returning to the Kins Family a few years ago, Angela didn’t like to talk and was insecure and sensitive. The two elderly people genuinely liked her and always thought of her when there was something delicious. It could be said that the years Angela spent with Charlotte were the happiest times.

After finishing the porridge, Angela took the initiative to wash the bowl and then hurriedly went downstairs. When she reached the corner of the stairs, a strong hand grabbed her wrist. The person walked quickly, and Angela couldn’t keep up with his pace.

He dragged her downstairs, stumbling and bumping along the way, causing Angela pain.

When James reached the last step, he forcefully pulled Angela, causing her to fall from the stairs. Losing her balance, Angela fell onto James‘ body, twisting her ankle in the process, causing her great pain.

Before she could react, James‘ grinding teeth could be heard from above. “Angela, you’ve become bold. How dare you report Samuel to the police, causing him to be taken away for questioning early in the morning. How could you be so malicious and not spare even your own brother?”

The pain in her ankle was excruciating, but Angela gritted her teeth and met James furious gaze. Although Samuel damaged Genevieve’s house, James didn’t bother to ask for the reasons and scolded her without any justification. In her past life, when faced with James‘ questioning, she would have immediately apologized, repented, and felt that she had done something wrong.

But now, not only did she not do that. but she also greeted him with the most malicious words.

Angela coldly said, “Instead of wasting time here glaring at me, you should think about how to get him. released. Otherwise, if he has a criminal record, no matter how much education he gets, it will be useless.

At this moment, Angela was terrifyingly calm. Samuel was a college student, and in order to find a good job in the future, he had to have a clean record. If this incident had not been handled well, it would undoubtedly have left a deep stain on Samuel’s life.

James naturally understood this, which was why he came over early in the morning. He wanted to take Angela to the police station and explain to the police that this was just a misunderstanding so that Samuel could be released on bail. This is the fastest and most direct way to release Samuel on bail. “Don’t you feel any guilt? He is your own brother. How can you be so heartless and say such things?”

1/2 Chapter 19 Nothing Good Comes From Escaauun As the eldest of the family, James remained calm and composed. But faced with Angela, who had always been gentle and obedient, suddenly becoming so heartless, he couldn’t remain calm. The fact that Angela personally sent her own brother to the police station had caused an uproar in the Kins Family. Everyone was like cats on hot bricks, wishing they could tear Angela apart. Fanny, in particular, was so worried that she hadn’t even eaten breakfast.

Angela glanced at the furious James and calmly responded, “Why should I feel guilty? If my own brother doesn’t behave properly. I have to use the law to protect my own rights” Faced with James‘ accusations, Angela remained composed. She had already anticipated this. With such a significant incident, the Kins Family would undoubtedly take action. On the contrary, if Angela had been involved in such a situation, she would probably have been imprisoned. The Kins Family always excluded her.

In their eyes, she was merely an outsider.

“Angela, how can you say such things? Regardless, he is your brother. How can you personally send your own brother to prison? Are you still human?” Seemingly provoked by Angela, James became agitated. He, who was usually calm, suddenly lost his temper.

Angela raised her gaze indifferently, “Oh? I consider him my brother, but does he consider me his sister? Since he doesn’t care about my well–being, why should I care about him?” Seeing through the true nature of the Kins Family, Angela doesn’t hold back when confronting them, even if that person was her once highly respected older brother.

James couldn’t control himself and slapped Angela’s face, then angrily shouted, “Angela, I always thought you were just stubborn, but I never expected you to be so heartless. You don’t deserve to be our sister.”

The slap left a distinct handprint on Angela’s small face; it was a brutal slap. Angela felt her cars ringing and instantly felt a surge of anger. She didn’t know if it was because of the pain or anger, but her whole body trembled. In the past, even if the Kinses were angry, they would only verbally attack Angela, never resorting to physical violence.

But this time, James actually hit her! Who gave him the right to hit her? Finally, touching her swollen check, Angela sneered.

“This is the last time I’m allowing you to hit me.” Angela’s eyes turned icy as she looked at James coldly.

Originally, James intended to have a civil conversation with Angela, but for some reason, seeing her attitude, he couldn’t engage in a proper discussion. But upon seeing Angela’s frosty demeanor, James became even more irritated.

Anger surged in James‘ heart, “If you hadn’t promised to give the spot to Fanny only to then give it to Jessica instead, would Samuel have done all these things? Ultimately, it’s your fault. He was just causing a minor disturbance. What benefit is there for you to blow things out of proportion?”

“A minor disturbance?” Angela’s heart turned cold upon hearing this, her eyes gradually reddening. “He smashed Grandma’s house! It was the only thing Grandma left behind.” It was also the only thing left for her after Grandma’s death. But in the eyes of the Kins Family, these things were considered insignificant matters.

Seeing Angela’s eyes turning red, James was momentarily stunned, and then his dark eyes grew deeper, “But you want Samuel to have a criminal record just for the sake of a deceased person?”

Angela sneered, “People must be held accountable for their actions.” Just like the mistakes of her past life cost her life, James should also face the consequences of his actions. After saying that, Angela didn’t want to say anything more. She turned and walked away. She still had classes to attend and a part–time job to go to. There were still many things she needed to do; arguing with them would only be a waste of time.
