Chapter 340 I Am upied, Let Him Go


    As Ang brewed tea, the ongoing discussion outside caught her attention. Just as she pondered


    whether to step out or remain in, Yarrison entered the kitchen.


    “Ang, is there anything I can help with?” Yarrison inquired.


    Being acknowledged as Jonathan’s wife made Ang feel slightly uneasy, but she chose not to say


    anything.


    “I have prepared some tea. Shall we take it out now?” She suggested, concerned that she might not be


    suitable to overhear the conversation outside.


    Yarrison picked up the tea and reassured, “Let’s go, Ang. They are not discussing anything


    significant.”


    The affairs of the Lorenzo Family were not confidential. There was no need to conceal anything.


    The two exited the kitchen one after the other. As Ang approached Jonathan, she observed


    Jonathan patting Spencer’s shoulder and heard him say, “You will apany me to thepany


    today, where I’ll have someone help you get acquainted.”


    Spencer agreed, “Okay.”


    “What? You’re joining Jon’spany so soon?” Yarrison couldn’t help but ask Spencer upon hearing


    this.

    Spencer replied, “Yes, I’ve been in a bit of a slump for a few days; it’s time to pull myself together.”


    Seeing Ang emerge, Jonathan took her hand and inquired, “Will you apany me to thepany


    today?”


    On thest day of the weekend, he didn’t want Ang to be alone, especially after the events. of the


    previous night; he couldn’t rest assured.


    “I’ll go with you. Just to be cautious.” Since Yarrison and Spencer were present, Ang. refrained from


    mentioning Jonathan’s injury.


    Jonathan nodded.


    Yarrison departed as everyone went out. Jonathan exined to Ang in the back seat of the car that


    Spencer would assist at hispany.

    In regard to this matter, Ang merely listened without paying much attention. However, when


    Jonathan exined this to her, she found it quite intriguing.


    Upon Spencer’s arrival at thepany, he immediately began working with Jonathan’s subordinates


    while Ang remained in Jonathan’s office, engrossed in reading.


    She had a meeting scheduled with Yaxleyter in the afternoon to discuss a topic, so she needed to


    organize everything beforehand.


    During a quiet moment in the office, the assistant outside suddenly knocked on the door and entered.


    “Mr. Lawson, there is someone outside looking for you, iming to be your brother. The Nortnd


    branch staff were unfamiliar with Christopher and doubted his identity.


    Upon hearing that Christopher was outside, Jonathan nced at Ang and replied, “I’m upied;


    ask him to leave.”


    Christopher had previously embarrassed himself in front of Ang, and his return raised suspicions. Is


    he nning to cause a scene once more?


    Christopher might have had such intentions, but he wouldn’t be given the opportunity.


    Upon receiving Jonathan’s directive, the assistant promptly went out to escort Christopher


    away.


    Ang inquired, “Does he have anything important to convey?”


    Jonathan responded, “What important matter could he possibly have? It’s best if he doesn’t stir up


    trouble.”


    “True.” Recalling Christopher’s previous disruptive behavior, Ang chose not to dwell on the matter.


    After all, troublemakers remain bothersome regardless of the setting.


    With no further conversation in the office, both of them focused on their respective tasks.


    Meanwhile, outside the door. Upon hearing the assistant’s message, Christopher muttered to himself


    before departing.

    If it weren’t for Michael urging him to apologize, he wouldn’t have dared to approach Jonathan. He had


    no desire to encounter Jonathan–much like a mouse avoiding a cat.


    Compared to Michael, his fear of Jonathan was more pronounced.


    As he left Jonathan’spany, Michael called.


    2/5


    Reluctant to answer but fearful of the consequences, he eventually picked up the call after a


    moment.


    “Have you apologized to Jonathan?” Michael’s voice came through the phone,cking softness and


    tinged with a hint of helplessness.


    Christopher hesitated before saying, “No, he’s busy. He has no time to meet me.”


    Upon hearing this, Michael didn’t bring it up again but instead said, “Then go visit the families I told you


    about. If they speak highly of you, you know what to do, right?”


    “I…” Christopher began to protest, but Michael didn’t give him a chance to refuse. “What are you


    hesitating for? Go now!”


    Christopher nced at the hung–up phone, let out a bitter chuckle, and hailed a cab.


    As the car drove toward the mall, he got out and saw a familiar figure.


    “Fanny…” Christopher couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched Fanny in the distance. More


    importantly, Fanny was holding hands with someone.


    He stood there dumbfounded until the two in front walked into a store, and he still hadn’te back to


    his senses.


    Fanny was led into the store by Yaxley, appearing extremely ufortable. Yaxley seemed stiff as


    well. But he didn’t release Fanny’s hand.


    “What do yo


    you


    feel like eating? I’ll take you back after the meal,” Yaxley said.


    Initially, Yaxley had nned to take Fanny straight home. However, upon leaving the hotel. Fanny


    suddenly expressed hunger, prompting him to suggest going out to eat.


    Yaxley believed that since Fanny had epted his engagement proposal, he should disy a positive


    and attentive demeanor.


    Therefore, despite mentioning taking Fanny out for a meal, he secretly entertained the thought of


    purchasing a gift for her.


    He felt that they should go through the process like a normal couple.


    &


    However, before they entered the mall, Yaxley felt that something was wrong. It wasn’t until Fanny was


    almost knocked down by someone that he pulled her into his arms.


    After that, he kept holding Fanny’s hand without letting go.

    “Just eat whatever,” Fanny whispered.


    She lowered her eyes, adopting a submissive posture, and spoke softly, as if a bit shy.


    “How about Western food?” Yaxley asked.


    Seeing Fanny nod, Yaxley took her to a Western restaurant.


    He deliberately chose a private room to make Fanny feel morefortable.


    With fewer people around, Fanny did rx a lot.


    Yaxley took a seat opposite Fanny, mindful not to startle her, and intentionally spoke in a low voice.


    “Your name is Fanny. Can I call you Fanny?”


    “M–Mr. Collier, you can call me anything,” Fanny nodded, a hint of shyness in her response.


    “Just call me Yaxley. Although what happenedst night was an ident, I actually found you very


    attractive when I met you the day before yesterday.” Yaxley carefully chose his words as he expressed


    his thoughts.


    “Huh?” Fanny was stunned.


    Yaxley repeated, That rainy night when I took you to the hospital.”


    Upon firstying eyes on Fanny, he did find her to be distinctive. Not for any particr reason but


    simply because it had been a considerable amount of time since he had encountered someone and


    genuinely found them good–looking.


    However, at that time, he was very tired and did not allow himself to have any extra thoughts.


    Fanny’s shock was genuine; she stared at Yaxley in a daze.


    “I–Is that so? I actually. she said softly, but only said half of it before her ears turned red. Then, she


    directly turned it into gratitude, “Yaxley, thank you for helping me.”


    Yaxley just smiled and looked at her without saying anything else.


    Just as the atmosphere between the two became ambiguous, a sudden knock on the door interrupted


    them.


    Yaxley assumed it was a waiter about to enter. But before he could say anything, the door was pushed


    open.


    “Fanny, who is he?” Christopher’s voice echoed at the door, his eyes reflecting puzzlement

    and confusion.
