Jonathan and Ang coborated seamlessly, lowering their voices as they conversed.
Ang, leaning close to Jonathan’s ear, mentioned her observation of the manager’s unusual
deference to Florence, which caught her attention. earlier while he was setting up their meal. Jonathan,
quick–witted, quietly advised her, “Don’t touch any dish that she hasn’t eaten from.”
Ang had a moment of rity. “You think she might have tampered with the food?”
Jonathan nodded. “It’s possible.”
Ang concealed her emotions, discussing further strategy with Jonathan.
They could have simply left, but Ang felt they needed to respond in kind if there were indeed
malicious intentions against them.
Even if they couldn’t retaliate directly, they at least wanted to see Florence thwarted.
Sharing her thoughts with Jonathan, they brainstormed together.
Their conversation, needing privacy due to the presence of the scheming Florence, naturally brought
them closer together.
Ang’s eyes sparkled with excitement each time Jonathan spoke, making them seem like they were
sharing intimate secrets.
Florence watched them for a long while, irritated by their prolonged, seemingly intimate conversation.
What could they possibly have to whisper about for so long?

Seeing Ang leaning against Jonathan, Florence’s gaze turned icy.
She saw Ang’s behavior as a deliberate disy of affection, annoying her further as this wasn’t the
first time she felt provoked by such actions.
Eventually, Florence’s patience wore thin. However, instead of reacting impulsively as before, she
kicked Christopher beside her.
Startled and fearful, Christopher instinctively looked at Florence.
He was terrified of her and, despite Jonathan and Ang’s presence, didn’t dare make a sound.
Florence mouthed to him, “Are you mute?” signaling him to speak up.
She had had enough of Jonathan and Ang’s affectionate moves.
After all, her main interest was Jonathan..
Not wanting to diminish Jonathan’s interest in her or provoke his displeasure, she passed the task of
interrupting the couple onto Christopher.
Tasked with interrupting the couple, Christopher reluctantly called out, “Jonathan?” in a subdued voice
across the table.
Jonathan ignored him, not even ncing his way.
Ang, however, nced over and seized the opportunity to shift the conversation. “Didn’t Miss
Shelton have something to say earlier? Please, go ahead.”
The thought of Jonathan’s suspicions lingered in Ang’s mind, distracting her from the meal before
her.
Despite her waning appetite, she couldn’t bring herself to skip the meal.

Florence, given the cue from Ang, forced a smile and suggested, “It’s nothing important. Let’s eat.”
But Ang, scanning Florence’s seemingly genuine smile, grew more alert.
Florence, feeling impatient but seeing no other choice, began to eat. Ang and Jonathan also started
to eat, albeit with calcted indifference.
The atmosphere settled into an unexpected calm after their earlier discussion.
Christopher, initially too scared to eat, began after Florence nudged him.
Each time Florence avoided certain dishes, she noticed that Ang and Jonathan refrained from
touching them as well.
Frowning, she felt puzzled.
Upon noticing that one of the tampered dishes was the one Ang had ordered, she had an idea.
However, before she could speak, she heard Ang set down her fork and
spoon.
“I’m full,” Ang announced.
Florence looked up and saw Ang taking the napkin that Jonathan handed her to wipe her mouth.
Full? She had only taken a few bites. How could she be full?
Florence didn’t believe it at all, but Ang and Jonathan paid no attention to her disbelief.

Florence, puzzled and frustrated by their avoidance, felt her n unraveling. She couldn’t figure out
how they knew.
Seeing Christopher eat the tampered dish without any issue, she decided to take a bold move and
forcefully served him anotherrge portion, saying, “Eat.”
As Christopher, coerced by Florence, hesitantly faced the questionable dish, he felt an unsettling chill.
Suspecting foul y, he doubted whether to eat, feeling uneasy about the food he’d already consumed.
Caught in his dilemma, Jonathan’s voice cut through. “Miss Shelton, enjoy
leave your meal. We’ve discussed enough for today, and I’ll be taking my with my wife.”
With that, Jonathan stood up with Ang, signaling Christopher to follow, leaving Florence grappling
with the fallout of her thwarted scheme.
Struggling with how to avoid eating the dish, Christopher eagerly stood up when he heard Jonathan’s
cue. Previously injured, he had been assisted in walking, and now, abruptly standing, he nearly lost his
bnce and fell.
Barely steadying himself and taking a step forward, he hadn’t reached the other side before Florence
grabbed his clothes.
“Miss Shelton?” Christopher uttered in confusion and felt even more difort than before. He was
certain there was something wrong with the food, likely tampered with by Florence herself.
Florence frowned, ignoring him and turning her attention to Jonathan and Ang.
She saw Ang smiling at her, which seemed to mock her failed n and ridicule her foolishness.

Unaware of how her smile was perceived, Ang maintained it. Even if she knew, it probably wouldn’t
matter to her.
After all, the one who schemed deserved the mockery.
Trying to suppress her frustration and sense of humiliation, Florence feigned nonchnce and said to
Jonathan, “Mr. Lawson, we haven’t finished our talk. How can you leave like this?”
Jonathan, still standing with Ang and showing no intention of sitting back down, responded, “Miss
Shelton, if you have something to say, just. say it.”
Instead of continuing, she asked, “Mr. Lawson, you won’t ignore me in the future, will you?”
Jonathan replied, “That depends on what you want.”
After a moment, she let go of Christopher. “Since Mr. Lawson said so, we can talk about it some other
time, privately.”
She emphasized “privately” with a suggestive wink.
Ang noticed the provocation but remained unaffected. She knew and trusted Jonathan too well to be
swayed by Florence’s insinuations.
Once released by Florence, Christopher limped quickly to Jonathan’s side, murmuring, “Jonathan…”
“Let’s go,” Jonathan dered, leading the way with Ang.
Christopher, ignoring the pain in his leg, hurriedly followed as if fleeing from Florence, the looming
threat behind him.
In the end, Florence was left alone in the private room.
