Chapter 461 They Were Not Together


    spite of two cars trailing behind, the lead car maintained its speed unaffected.


    Soon after, Jonathan''s pair of vehicles pulled up outside thepany building.


    Florence instructed the driver to park nearby, while James positioned his car adjacent to Florence''s.


    Unbeknownst to him, James had been tailing Florence''s car, mistaking it for Jonathan''s.


    Therefore, when he parked, he assumed the upants exiting the vehicle were Jonathan''s associates.


    His aim was to find Ang, intending to exin his motives directly to whoever emerged.


    However, upon seeing the person exiting the car, he was momentarily taken aback. "Miss Florence Shelton?"


    James had been briefed about Florence by Hugh beforehand, and he had also gained insights into the achievements of the Shelton Family from a friend before his arrival in Nortnd. He knew Florence, recognized as thedy of the Shelton Family, had assumed the role of heir to the family.


    Thus, even though they hadn''t formally met, he had glimpsed her photograph in the newspaper provided by his friend.


    As someone acknowledged her presence, Florence casually turned her head, seemingly. indifferent to James.


    Despite being informed by herpanions in the car that they were being trailed, Florence remained unperturbed.


    She was confident that no one would dare to challenge her in Nortnd for the time being.


    In a moment of inadvertence, James spoke up, only to swiftly realize his mistake. Initially contemting avoiding Florence, he discovered her superior skill in ignoring others.


    Because at that moment, she was already making her way toward Jonathan and hispanions.


    Without hesitation, he followed suit.


    He needed to meet Ang today, as he needed to identify who was pressuring the police station and hindering his efforts to secure Joseph''s release on bail.

    While Florence paid no attention to the discreet tail following her, those around her were


    len. One individual promptly stepped forward and blocked James'' path.


    "Who are you? Why are you following Miss Shelton?" the individual questioned.


    Observing James in formal attire but alone in the car with no other upants, the individual became less guarded.


    Upon recognizing Florence, James felt a twinge of apprehension and instinctively opted to candidly reveal his intentions.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    With a positive demeanor, he exined his purpose to the individual. In response, the person simply stated, "You wait back here for now."


    James didn''t dare to protest. Observing hispliance, the individual swiftly turned and


    caught up with Florence and the others. Subsequently, he briefed the leader on James intentions.


    "Is he seeking Jonathan too?" Florence casually inquired after being informed.


    With two cars, Jonathan''s group hurriedly entered thepany building as if escaping a flood or a wild animal.


    Florence''s car wasn''t parked nearby, and she was detained outside the building after a brief pursuit.


    She hadn''t anticipated losing them and was now feeling frustrated.


    Furthermore, she couldn''t help but specte whether Jonathan''s apparentck of awareness of their presence was a result of her team''s exceptional tracking skills, or if Jonathan was deliberately feigning ignorance to lose them.


    Despite her team''s earlier exchange of pleasantries with the receptionist, they were met with the sameposed demeanor in response. Nevertheless, they remained waiting in the downstairs reception lobby.


    Upon inquiry, her subordinate promptly responded, "Well, sounds like it. He mentioned that he was here to see Ang."


    "Ang?" Florence repeated the name with a disapproving tone, recalling the incident where Ang had turned her away at the door, solidifying her negative opinion of her.


    Moreover, Ang was her rival.


    Even though Florence hadn''t yet plotted any harm against Ang, it was also imusible for her to treat Ang overly kindly.

    Did he mention anything else?" Florence asked casually while awaiting further details from Jonathan''s group.


    "No, Miss Shelton. But don''t worry, I told him to wait behind us," reassured her subordinate.


    Florence impatiently pped her hands. "Bring him here," she demanded.


    In Florence''s opinion, even though they weren''t together, that man might still be useful.


    She thought to herself, he''s here for Ang and she is willing to meet him, then there might be a chance for me to meet Jonathan. And since he recognizes me and obediently follows my team''s orders, he surely wouldn''t refuse my request. Upon receiving Florence''s instructions, her subordinate hurried to fetch James.


    When James was called, his expression was somewhatplex.


    "Miss Shelton, is there something you need from me?" he asked.


    Florencezily nced at him before inquiring, "Why are you seeking Ang?


    Will she agree to meet you?"


    She didn''t want to waste time on small talk, as her time was valuable.


    "I need to discuss something with her." James replied, his face slightly tense.


    He hadn''t expected to encounter Florence right after hearing about her from Hugh. What a coincidence.


    "Can you guarantee she''ll agree to see you?" Florence questioned.


    James promptly replied. "I''m Ang''s brother. If I show up, she should be willing


    to meet


    1. me.


    In truth, he wasn''t entirely sure of his statement, but under Florence''s suspicious gaze, he blurted out the bold im without much thought.


    Immediately after speaking, he regretted his words and wished to retract them. However, before he could, Florence pped her hands and eximed, "So you indeed are Ang''s brother?"


    Florence was genuinely delighted, as she had been contemting how to arrange a meeting with Jonathan. If


    e


    James could sessfully meet Ang, perhaps she wouldn''t need to


    worry about meeting Jonathan herself.


    "Yes, indeed." James felt a prickling sensation on his scalp but chose to remain


    silent.

    I''ll go with you. You go and inform the receptionist," Florence urged, nudging James toward the front desk without waiting for his response.


    Confused, Jamesplied with the instructions and approached the receptionist.


    The receptionist greeted him warmly,

    noted James'' purpose, and said, "Sir, please wait in the lobby I have informed Mrs. Lawson. However,


    whether Mrs. Lawson will meet you


    or not depends on her own decision."


    The current receptionists at Jonathan''spany were not the same individuals as before they had been reced by bolder personnel.


    Additionally, there were security personnel stationed in the hall at all


    times, which actually bolstered her confidence a bit more.


    Upon hearing Ang referred to as "Mrs. Lawson," James subtly frowned. However, remembering his need to speak with Ang, he obediently took a seat on the side.


    James refrained from getting too close to Florence, recalling Hugh''s warning about her past actions-after Fanny was taken away by Jane, she was taken over


    by Florence. Even though Fanny had returned, Florence was still not to be underestimated. Two groups of people waited downstairs, each with their own thoughts.
