Chapter 334 Why Not Believe in Superstition?
The night scene in Nortnd had always been magnificent.
Ang followed alongside Jonathan as they entered the banquet hall.
It wasn’t her first time attending such an event; she had apanied him to simr ones in Riverdon
before. But this time, it was clearly different in Nortnd.
After the two of them appeared, not many people nced their way. asionally, a few would look
over, but after seeing them, they didn’t react much.
It’s a different experience indeed, Ang thought to herself as she linked arms with Jonathan.
Jonathan remainedposed as ever and led Ang to sit down on the side.
Tonight’s banquet was a bidding banquet, but Jonathan wasn’t particrly interested in the bidding, so
he didn’t even bring his assistant.
Just as they sat down, Ang saw a familiar figure.
“Why is she here?” She frowned as she looked toward the distant figure of Fanny, who was being
embraced by a slightly rotund man, her smile appearing very insincere.
Jonathan followed Ang’s gaze and saw Fanny with the man beside her.
“The man beside her seems to be Dn Leigh, the CEO of Leigh Group.”
After arriving in Nortnd, he didn’t take over all the affairs of the branch, but he had the employees of
the branchpile information on the part of thepany in Nortnd.
These days, he was setting policies and also getting to know the situation in Nortnd.
Ang whispered, “It’s fine. Just ignore her.”
She did indeed harbor some resentment toward Fanny, but as long as Fanny didn’t bother her, she
didn’t intend to seek her out.
However, Fanny unexpectedly appeared in Nortnd. Could it be that she was following Christopher?
Before Ang’s confusion could be resolved, Fanny brought Dn over.
“Ang, I didn’t expect you toe to this banquet too!” Fanny’s face was filled with joy, and

were the best of sisters.
Dn also smiled and said to Ang, “So, you’re Ang. What a coincidence.”
Ang, with a hint of sarcasm, asked, “And who might you be?”
Dn’s expression stiffened momentarily as he took a moment topose himself before speaking,
“I’m a friend of your dad’s. Fanny calls me Mr. Leigh, so it would be fitting for you. to address me the
same way.”
“Okay,” Ang replied tly.
Dn was George’s acquaintance, but their rtionship was distant. Ang had long severed ties with
the Kins Family.
If Dn had approached her alone, she might have responded with more warmth. But with Fanny by
his side, Ang really didn’t have a good impression of him.
Though Dn undoubtedly sensed Ang’s indifference and coldness, he maintained a smile on his
oily face. He took a ss of wine from the waiter’s tray next to him and handed it to Ang.
“It’s been years since Ist saw your dad. Now that I see you, let’s have a drink,” he said.
Ang declined the wine and stared at him. “I don’t drink.”
Dn paused momentarily, but instead of retracting the drink, he continued, “What about the
gentleman beside you? He’s your husband, right? I heard he’s quite capable. Can he hold his liquor?”
“He can’t either,” Ang replied with a smile, taking the ss of wine and setting it aside.
Jonathan remained silent. This was Ang’s territory domain, arid he was merely sitting. beside her. If
she needed him to speak, he would. However, it was evident that Ang was determined to handle the
situation herself. So, he observed the interaction between the two without responding, even when
Dn mentioned him, he didn’t respond and appeared nonchnt andzy..
“You…” Dn’s smile was starting to falter.
Ang quietly observed his performance.
In truth, she found herself more interested in watching Fanny’s awkward antics than Dn’s.

After all, this was her first encounter with him, and she harbored no strong feelings toward him.
“Your sister said you were obedient, but I didn’t expect you to show no respect to your elders,” Dn
said to her in a calm tone, expressing his disappointment.
Ang remained expressionless, She didn’t care about his opinion of her, especially since he was
George’s friend. He had likely heard negative things about her from George, so she wasn’t surprised..
ncing briefly at Fanny, Ang caught a glimpse of her evasive eyes and casually remarked, “She’s
not my sister, in case you didn’t know. Fanny has left the Kins Family and isn’t even listed in the Lynch
Family’s household registration anymore.”
Ang herself was also not listed on the Kins Family’s household registration, but she saw no need to
mention it at that moment. Whether Dn was aware of this fact or not was irrelevant.
Fanny’s face briefly showed embarrassment, but being naturally adept at putting on a show, she
quickly stered on a smile and interjected, “Ang and I had some conflicts at home, and we haven’t
reconciled yet. Mr. Leigh, shall we go over there? You mentioned meeting a friend, didn’t you?”
Dn nced at Ang once more before agreeing with Fanny’s suggestion, and the two of them
departed.
Observing the two as they left, Jonathan remained silent, while Ang couldn’t understand. Fanny’s
behavior.
She couldn’t understand why Fanny insisted on approaching her. Every time she did, it ended in a
lesson learned.
But why won’t she learn from her mistakes?
“I didn’t realize George had connections in Nortnd,” Ang said with a smile tinged with a hint of
disdain.
She felt no respect for George; mentioning his name directly made her feel a bit disgusted.
The scandal involving Fanny and Christopher had caused quite a stir in Riverdon. Fanny should have
been despised by everyone, but simply by changing locations, she managed to transform herself into
someone of higher status.
This behavior irked Ang, causing her carefully cultivatedposure to waver inexplicably.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Jonathan asked as he noticed Ang holding her head. He
gently massaged her temples in an attempt to alleviate her difort.
Shaking her head, Ang replied, “No, just feeling a bit nauseous. I’ll go to the restroom.”
She summarized herplex emotions after seeing Fanny as a feeling of disgust, which seemed
reasonable.

Meanwhile, Dn led Fanny to a secluded corner.
“So that’s Ang Kins, the one causing trouble for your family? She seems difficult to please, but I
believe I can handle her,” Dn remarked.
Fanny clenched her fists and didn’t bother to hide the hatred in her eyes as she pleaded, “It’s her.
She’s the reason our family is in this situation. Mr. Leigh, you must help us.”
“Don’t worry, your dad entrusted me with this task, so I’ll definitely help. But you also need to make an
effort yourself,” he said, touching her face as he gave an insincere smile.
Fanny shuddered involuntarily, feeling goosebumps rise on her skin, and asked, “So, what’s our next
move? She didn’t even touch the drink we offered earlier…”
