Chapter 297 Stop Pretending


    “What do you mean? You need toe to the hospital today! Otherwise, I’ll cause a scene at your


    school and expose you as being a heartless person who wouldn’t even save her own mother!” George


    was in trouble with the police, so he was willing to go to extremes if he thought that it would benefit him.


    “It’s been a while since west spoke, and it seems like you’ve be even more shameless.” After


    Ang finished speaking, she abruptly ended the call.


    George hadn’t expected Ang to have the audacity to hang up on him. He was on the verge of


    exploding in rage! He tried calling Ang a few more times, but each time, she ended his call. Later on,


    he couldn’t even hear the dial tone on his end. It was as if he had been blocked!


    “The audacity! How dare that brat block me!” George was fuming. He left the hospital in a rush and


    headed to Ang’s residence. He knew Ang’s address in Springgate Estates, but upon his arrival,


    Oliver intercepted him at the gate.


    With a stern expression, Oliver set down his meal and questioned George. “What’s the matter?”


    “I need to see Ang!” George was still seething, and his demeanor turned even more hostile after


    being stopped by Oliver. “Mrs. Lawson does not wish to see you.” After Oliver spoke, he resumed his


    meal at the table in the yard.


    George was taken aback by the other man’s words. “I am Ang’s father! How dare she refuse to see


    me? Let me in immediately!” he eximed angrily. However, Oliverpletely disregarded him and


    continued eating. George was both frantic and irate, and he began to shout.


    He didn’t seem to care about the potential ridicule or embarrassment he would face then. He simply


    demanded to see Ang immediately.


    “Shush!” Oliver eventually stood up and opened the gate. Just as George was about to enter the gate


    triumphantly, Oliver lifted him up and tossed him several meters away from the gate. “You can continue


    shouting now.” George’s face paled as he attempted to rise and grab Oliver. Yet, Oliver effortlessly


    threw him over his shoulder and onto the ground.


    “Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!” Georgey on the ground, howling without any concern for his dignity. With no


    one else around, he howled even louder. “Stop pretending. Why are you clutching your stomach? You


    fell on your bottom!” Oliver found it rather amusing to watch the man howling on the ground.


    George ceased holding his stomach. His bottom was indeed a bit sore, but he was too


    1/3


    embarrassed to clutch it. The fact that he was lying down on the ground and howling showed how


    desperate he was–the police had practically cornered him into this. Since he was unable to swallow his


    pride and nurse his bottom, George began to threaten Oliver once more. “You better bring Ang out!


    Otherwise, I’ll make sure you pay for today! Do you I won’t call the police!?”


    think


    “Go ahead and call the police. 1 acted in self–defense, and there’s surveince here. Feel free to call


    the police.” Oliver gestured to the surveince camera on the roadside and then retreated into the yard.


    George’s expression darkened. He walked to the gate and started shouting once more.


    “No one is going toe even if you


    Oliver couldn’t be bothered at the shouting. The house has good soundproofing


    point. He simply resumed his meal.


    “You-!” George had no choice but to call James. James was surprised that George had personally gone


    to Springgate Estates to look for Ang, and he didn’t understand why he had to call Ang to inform


    her. Despite his confusion, he was too busy to delve into the reasons behind it. He only had time to


    give Ang a short call.


    However, when James called Ang, the call went unanswered. His assistant alerted him of a meeting


    that he had. He didn’t hesitate to proceed directly to the conference room, as he figured that Ang


    would return his call after seeing his missed call.


    Meanwhile, George continued shouting outside Springgate Estates even after telling James to give


    Ang a call. After Oliver’s harsh treatment, George made sure to keep some distance. However, he


    continued to call out for Ang and even started to curse.


    Oliver told him that the house had good soundproofing, but he thought that someone would still hear


    him in the end. But to his surprise, no one came down to get him even after an hour. Didn’t James


    notify Ang? He called James again, and James, who had just finished a meeting, responded in a


    weary tone. “What how?”


    James felt like no one in the family was reliable at that moment. George, in particr, was unreliable


    not only because he abandoned thepany, but also because he kept involving himself in


    embarrassing incidents in public. “I asked you to call Ang. Did you tell her I’m downstairs?” George


    yelled at James in anger.


    “I just finished a meeting, and I forgot to call her. Give me a moment.” After saying that, James hung up


    and called Ang.


    Meanwhile, in Springgate Estates, Ang closed her book after reading for a while. She was feeling


    anxious over the banquet that was happening the next day. Although she had only met Cassandra a


    few times, she couldn’t help but worry that she wouldn’t measure up to someone as outstanding as


    Cassandra and that she wouldn’t be good enough for Jonathan


    Lawson.


    2/3


    In an attempt to clear her mind, Ang decided to practice her acupuncture techniques. She had


    learned medicine from her grandmother since she was young, and over the past decade, she had


    perfected her skill in the art of acupuncture. She diligently practiced day after day to achieve such


    skills.


    Often, practicing needlework allowed her to calm her mind and focus solely on the tiny needles. It


    helped her to block out distractionsing from the outside world. After half an hour of practice,


    Ang felt a thinyer of sweat on her forehead. Immersed in her favorite and focused activity, her


    sense of frustration began to dissipate.

    After a quick wash–up. Ang noticed several missed calls on her phone. All the missed calls were


    from James, so Ang returned the call. “Is everything okay?” Ang’s tone was not warm–she was


    just concerned that there might be an issue with Zacharias. That was what prompted her to call back.


    “Dad is looking for you. He’s downstairs. Also, you should unblock his number.” George only came to


    bother James because he couldn’t reach Ang on the phone. This was giving James a headache,


    and he wanted to find ways to resolve things. During the hour when he couldn’t reach Ang, George


    had called him seven or eight times to urge him.


    But what could he do? Ang seemed to have disappeared, and she wasn’t answering his calls. If


    Ang hadn’t called him back, he would have thought she had blocked him, too.


    “What’s with the attitude? Mr. Kins, are you ordering me around?” she snapped. As soon as ames


    heard Ang’s words, he knew something was wrong. He quickly tried to remedy the situation.


    “Please, for Jonathan’s sake, don’t argue with our dad. Just unblock his number.”


    ‘He’s


    your dad, not mine.” Ang replied. She had drawn clear boundaries after leaving the Kins Family. She


    could still recall vivid memories of how they had looked at and treated her. How can James choose to


    conveniently forget such things? How can he say that George is ‘our dad?


    Alright, he’s downstairs now. Just go meet him. He wants you to go to the hospital to see mom. I


    promise he won’t cause any trouble!” James uttered.


    Tell him to wait, Ang said. George was downstairs, and he seemed to have waited for a while. She


    didn’t want to be too cruel, so she reluctantly agreed. After receiving Ang’s response, James


    immediately called George.
