Chapter 289 Don’t Treat Me As An Outsider
An agreement was reached with Fanny, and Sophia left.
Fanny was informed by the police to return home and wait for further notice, so she left the police
station.
“It can’t be anyone else but Sophia,” Fanny muttered to herself, suddenly thinking of Ang.
Who can’t bear to see me doing well? Of course, it’s Ang.
With this thought, Fanny felt a surge of anger.
She angrily decided to go find Ang but then worried that she might go to her brothers toin,
so she had to endure and finally gave up.
After returning home and tidying up herself, Fanny’s resentment still lingered.
Thinking that the efficiency on the police end was really slow, she couldn’t wait any longer.
She opened her phone and found someone had sent her a message asking her to check a forum.
As soon as she went on the forum, she found the post about Ang, and she was ecstatic!
Observing the skepticism directed toward Ang in thements below, Fanny couldn’t help but revel
in satisfaction.
“Ang deserves to die, that wretched person!”
She immediatelymented frantically on the post, saying Ang not only had a bad attitude but also
had questionable character.
At that moment, Ang and Jonathan were on their way to the hot springs, driving up winding
mountain road in a ck sedan.
the
Upon reaching the mountaintop and passing through a serene forest, they finally arrived at a
particrly secluded and ancient–looking courtyard.
After getting out of the car, Ang looked around in amazement and asked, “Is there really a hot spring
here?”

After all, to her, it didn’t look anything like amercial establishment, but rather more like a long–
abandoned residence.
Jonathan whispered to her, “Yes, it’s a natural hot spring. I’ve already had it cleaned up. beforehand.”
“A natural hot spring.”
Ang was surprised. She hadn’t expected that a casual remark would weigh so heavily on Jonathan’s
mind, leading him to specially bring her to the natural hot springs.
Feeling a warmth in her heart, Ang stole a nce at Jonathan.
The two of them soaked in the hot springs for a while before enjoying some pre–prepared
meals in the restaurant.
Suddenly, Ang’s phone rang.
She picked it up and was surprised to see that it was Cassie calling.
“Cassie, what’s up?”
Without avoiding Jonathan, she answered the call directly.
“Ang, what should we do about that post? People are already gossiping about it privately at school.
Should we go to the police directly? It’s getting out of hand, isn’t it?”
After some consideration, Ang felt that it had probably reached a point where action needed to be
taken, so she replied, “We can go to the police now and use Angelina of defamation. Don’t worry
about it. I’ll handle this myself.”
As soon as she hung up the phone, she noticed that Jonathan was looking at her.
She instinctively whispered, “Jonathan.”
“What’s going on?” Jonathan asked.
There was nothing to hide, so Ang straightforwardly said, “Someone on the school forum is causing
trouble, using me of getting my spot anding in first because of maniption and cheating.”
“I’ll take care of it.” He quickly offered upon hearing this.
“No need, Jonathan. I’ll report it to the police.” Ang did not want to burden him.

Jonathan lowered his gaze and said, “Don’t treat me like an outsider.”
“I–I don’t consider you an outsider, it’s just…” She began to exin.
“It’s just that you don’t want to bother me, right?” He leaned in closer and asked.
Ang nodded, realizing she had fallen into his trap, and apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry,
Jonathan.”
Jonathan gently patted her head and said, “I can’t me you for this. After this kind of thing happens
again, you must tell me. Even if it’s not difficult to handle, I really want to help you. We’re family.”
Upon hearing the words ‘we’re family,‘ Ang’s face inexplicably flushed again.
The atmosphere between them was just right, but the mood was interrupted by the ringing of a phone.
This time it was Jonathan’s phone.
After answering, he listened for a moment, then instructed, “Send me the address and we’ll go check it
out.”
Ang looked at him curiously as he used the word “we.”
After hanging up the phone, he said to her, “There’s news from Linda.”
“Finally, some news.” She asked, “What happened to her before? Did she go into hiding?”
Jonathan briefly exined Lisa’s situation.
It turned out that Lisa was knocked unconscious that night and even suffered from temporary amnesia.
After George reported it to the police, they finally found Linda, who was suffering from amnesia and
acting erratically, on a secluded street.
“Where is she?” Ang couldn’t help but feel sorry for Linda upon learning about her condition.
“She’s been taken to the hospital now,” Jonathan said and continued speaking only after seeing
Ang’s subdued reaction. “I heard she has quite a few injuries like someone deliberately targeted
her.”
Knowing someone suffered such severe amnesia made it clear that the perpetrator was truly ruthless.

The two quickly arrived at the hospital and soon saw Linda.
Linda appeared to be in a frenzied state, lookingpletely disheveled with all the injuries. on her face
and body, now wrapped in bandages..
“Linda?” Ang struggled to contain her emotions upon seeing her in such a pitiful condition.
Lying on the bed, Linda seemed oblivious to her surroundings, absentmindedly ying with her fingers.
Ang called a few times, but Linda didn’t react much.
“George should be here soon,” Jonathan whispered while holding Ang’s hand.
After finding the person they were looking for, the police immediately informed him, but since George
was the one who reported the incident, he shouldn’t be toote to receive the
news.
Sure enough, before they could even exchange a word with Linda, George hurriedly arrived.
He was apanied by two police officers, both of whom greeted Jonathan upon seeing him,
indicating that they knew him.
“Linda!”
Ever since learning that Linda had been attacked instead of fleeing on her own, George had let go
of his anger toward her slipping out of the airport. He simply believed that Linda couldn’t bear to leave
him and didn’t want to go abroad. After all, the consequences of her staying behind had already
urred.
She had been knocked unconscious, and the attacker was likely seeking retribution for Fanny’s actions
in the name of justice for his daughter.
Initially unresponsive, Linda went berserk upon hearing George’s voice.
She leaped off the hospital bed and pounced on him, scratching at his face and neck in a frenzied rage.
George was terrified and frozen in ce until Linda sank her teeth into his flesh, prompting him to
finally react in pain.
Her manic state not only startled him but also the two police officers nearby. They quickly

moved to restrain her.
However, she continued to fiercely bite and w at him, as if she wanted to tear his flesh apart!
George had been caught off guard, and Linda had managed to bite and scratch him in several ces.
In a mix of anguish and fear, he cried out, “Linda! Linda, it’s me, it’s me!”
But the more he pleaded, the more ferociously she attacked him as if she harbored an intense hatred
toward him.
