    Chapter 389 A Familiar Gaze


    Jonathan escorted Ang to a luxurious mansion that offered both dining and lodging. While the


    exterior appeared wless, the interior revealed apletely different world.


    The waiter guided the pair to the secluded courtyard Jonathan had reserved in advance,plete with


    a private hot spring.


    After a rxing soak in the hot spring and a satisfying meal, Ang finally began to unwind after two


    days of tension.


    Meanwhile, Florence’s expression darkened further following another unsessful attempt to track


    down Jonathan.


    Growing increasingly frustrated, she turned to the man beside her and demanded, “Is this your idea of


    a n? We haven’t even caught a glimpse of him!”


    The man, sweating profusely, struggled toprehend why Jonathan had managed to evade their


    monitoring area.


    “Perhaps he… resides at the office?” he tentatively suggested.


    Unable toe up with any other exnation, especially since they had stationed multiple individuals


    at various exits, he felt at a loss.


    Filled with resentment, Florence impatiently inquired. “Is there any other way to locate him?”


    After two days, she realized that Jonathan was purposefully avoiding her. Every time she attempted to


    find him at thepany, he conveniently remained absent.


    Despite her efforts to stake out thepany building, Jonathan devised a method to elude her


    surveince.


    Florence was unable to find any opportunity to encounter Jonathan.


    The astute n man beside her could only shake his head in resignation. The other party has shown no


    interest in the business proposal. There’s nothing more we can do.”


    Florence red at him. “If there’s no way, can’t you figure it out? You’re utterly useless.”


    The man chose not to engage in an argument with Florence and simply hung his head.


    After a moment, Florence impatiently remarked, “My brother’s funeral is scheduled for tomorrow.


    Jonathan should be present, right?”


    “He should be, as the Shelton Family has also invited him.”


    Prior to this, Florence had verbally invited Jonathan, but such an invitation needed to have formality.


    Subsequently, upon Florence mentioning the invitation to Jonathan, the Shelton Family sent an official


    invite.


    Upon hearing this, Florence finally relinquished her discontent and departed with herpanions.

    Ang refrained from further inquiries as she was not well–versed in Jonathan’s business affairs.


    “Did the examination proceed smoothly?” Jonathan inquired.


    “Without any hitches, Ang attirmed, proceeding to share details of the examination with Jonathan.


    Listening with a smile, Jonathan and Ang enjoyed a harmonious atmosphere.


    After conversing for a while. Ang noticed Jonathan gazing at her tenderly. Her heart skipped a beat,


    prompting her to ask, “How have you been these days, Jonathan?”


    “Fine, Jonathan responded, adding. Thave a funeral to attend tomorrow, and l’in contemting whether


    to go.


    “A funeral? Whose? Ang inquired curiously, as she was unaware of Jonathan’s acquaintances in


    Nortnd besides Yarrison and Spencer.


    The eldest son of the Shelton Family


    Initially, Jonathan had only received a verbal invitation from Florence and had not confirmed his


    attendance. However, he received a formal invitation from the Shelton Family before picking up Ang,


    prompting him to consider attending.


    Frowning in thought. Ang recalled the presence of a Shelton Family in Nortnd after a moment of


    reflection.


    Since she had never interacted with anyone from the Shelton Family, her knowledge about them was


    limited.


    “Would you like me to apany you?”


    Ang spected that Jonathan’s hesitation stemmed from his need to leave, so she inquired.


    After a moment of contemtion. Jonathan nodded.

    Following the test, Ang had a two–day break, during which Jonathan tried to keep her in his sight as


    much as possible.


    They woke up, freshened up the next morning, and returned to their lodging.


    In the afternoon, they visited the Shelton Family together.


    The Shelton Family had invited guests to their mansion on the mountain to attend the funeral of their

    eldest son, but the event felt more like a regr banquet than a somber asion.


    After paying their respects, they made their way to the banquet hall.


    To his surprise, he encountered Florence by chance.


    As the heir of the Shelton Family. Florence was not entertaining guests but wandering aimlessly.

    Upon spotting Jonathan, she approached them without hesitation.


    “Mr. Lawson, it’s a pleasure to see you.” Florence greeted him.


    Jonathan cordially greeted her and embraced Ang tightly.


    “Who is this?” Florence recognized Ang from the information provided by her subordinates, but she


    asked anyway.


    Instead of responding coldly, Jonathan introduced Ang. “She is my wife.”


    Ang smiled warmly at Florence, but the gesture was interpreted as a challenge.


    “Mrs. Lawson, Florence repeated, her expression unreadable.


    “Miss Shelton,” Ang replied, sensing something off about Florence.


    Florence remained silent, blocking their path.


    ncing at Jonathan for reassurance, Ang observed Florence’s peculiar gaze before thetter

    “Jonathan, who was that?” Ang inquired as they walked towards the banquet hall.


    “That was Miss Shelton from the Shelton Family, Florence, Jonathan exined.


    Recalling Florence’s unsettling gaze, Ang noticed Yaxley approaching.


    “Yaxley,” she greeted.


    After exchanging pleasantries, they realized the funeral was more than just a simple ceremony.


    A member of the Shelton Family took the stage to express condolences for thete eldest son of the


    Shelton Family and introduce Florence as the heir.


    As Ang watched Florence on stage, she noticed the intense gaze directed at Jonathan, reminiscent


    of


    Cassandra


    Feeling a sense of unease, she locked eyes with Florence, who seemed to be challenging her.


    As Florence began speaking, Ang couldn’t shake the feeling of being scrutinized.
