Chapter 269 Invitation From The Elders


    Ang found herself trying to figure out how to respond.


    Despite Jonathan and Michael’s tense rtionship, they were still regarded as elders. When the elders


    extended the invitation, Ang feltpelled to agree, even if she refused to.


    At the same time, Michael remained patient. As Ang remained silent on the phone, he waited quietly


    without any hint of impatience. Finally, Ang’s voice came through the phone, “Alright. Where should


    we meet then?”


    Michael then provided an address.


    Following that, he reminded Ang, “I’d prefer if Jon didn’t know about this for now. You know his


    temper, and it’s just a small matter. I don’t think it’s necessary to bother him.”


    However, Ang refused toply with his wishes. “I’ve told Jonathan that we should be honest with


    each other. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep this from him.”


    Jonathan is her biggest supporter now. Reasonably, she would not want to keep anything from him.


    Besides, Michael hade to her for Fanny’s case, and how would it benefit her?


    After hearing her response, Michael did not try to persuade Ang further. He hung up the phone


    immediately.


    Ang decided not to tell Jonathan about this matter. She had only said that to Michael as a


    precaution, but she had decided not to tell Jonathan yet because she did not want to bother him with


    such a trivial matter.


    Michael arranged to meet Ang in a private tea garden. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city,


    nestled by the mountains and waters, it was a good ce to discuss matters while enjoying the


    scenery.


    Ang parked her car outside, as the road to the tea garden was too narrow for vehicles to enter.


    Some pedicabs were also arranged here to facilitate visitors‘ travel. On top of that, the scenery here


    was unique, and the fresh air lifted her mood, but only until Michael appeared did this mood endure.


    She did not expect Christopher to be there as well.


    When Michael saw Ang, he noticed her displeased expression when she nced at Christopher.


    She seemed somewhat awkward for no apparent reason. He could only politely invite her to sit to make


    her feelfortable.

    Although they had no connection, Ang was an understanding person who would act appropriately at


    the elders‘ invitation.


    Michael gestured for Christopher to pour the tea that was warming on the small fire for Ang and then


    began to exin the purpose of the meeting. “I’m sorry for making youe all this way, but I was


    afraid it wouldn’t be clear over the phone.”


    you need.”


    She wanted to refrain from engaging in small talk with this father–and–son pair as much as possible.


    Michael also knew they were practically strangers and went straight to the point, “The thing is, I know


    there have been some issues between you and Fanny. However, Christopher is nning to divorce


    her.”


    Ang remained calm and smiled slightly. “Please, go ahead and tell me what


    Ang frowned, looking at Michael with confusion.


    Why would he tell me about their divorce? she thought.


    She kept herposure and continued to listen as Michael said, “But, regardless, they were once


    engaged. Fanny is currently involved in controversial legal cases. We can’t just turn a blind eye. In


    other words, we have to help out in some way.”


    Ang could not help but twitch the corner of her mouth.


    Okay, I understand you want to help her, but why would you call me out and involve me in this matter? I


    hate Fanny, but did I have the ability to stop you from doing anything? she thought.

    Michael continued his talk for a while, and Ang, as a younger one, had no choice but to nod


    obediently to his words. She felt that things should be moreplex during the conversation with


    Michael.


    On the other hand, Michael sensed a strange atmosphere as Ang remained calm despite him


    broaching the topic. He then lowered his voice and continued, “But Fanny’s situation is quiteplex.


    You’re aware of that, right?”


    she


    She nodded in acknowledgment. Although she had provided the information to Linda, had yet to


    anticipate the extent of theplexity. Thanks to the Sanders family’s covert assistance, Fanny was


    unharmed. Given their capabilities, Ang could not understand why they were seeking her out now.


    She found the situation increasingly perplexing.


    “I have some knowledge of the matter. However, my rtionship with Fanny is strained, so I don’t


    involve myself in her affairs,” she vaguely replied.

    need tomon her directly to prevent further deception.”


    As Michael scolded him to be silent. Ang red at Christopher sideways.


    After reprimanding Christopher, Michael apologized to Ang, saying. “He can be impulsive.


    Ang smiles in response


    After noticing herck of reaction. Michael continued, “We assisted Fanny before, and everything was


    resolved. But now, the issue has resurfaced. I was thinking you could speak to Jon about it.


    Ang was puzzled by the mention of Jonathan.


    As Jonathan’s father, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for you to approach him directly if you need his


    help?” Ang questioned Michael’s indirect approach while being curious about his


    intentions.


    Jon has a stubborn nature, and our rtionship isplicated,” Michael exined. “If he listens to


    anyone, it would be you. Fanny is no longer part of the Kins Family and has been. through a lot.”


    Ang grew more confused as the conversation got going, as she was unsure of Michael’s


    true motives.


    “I’m not sure I follow,” she admitted.


    Before Michael could respond, Christopher erupted, ming Ang for escting the situation by


    involving Jonathan again.


    “Ang, I never expected you to be so vindictive. Are you really that heartless towards Fanny, who has


    lost everything? You will get your karma in the future for sure,” Christopher used.


    Christopherunched into a relentless tirade as if he were unleashing all the recently. umted


    grievances in one go.


    Ang finally pieced together the truth that Jonathan was instigating trouble for Fanny behind the


    scenes, which exins the sudden resurgence of the issue that Michael had previously resolved.
