Chapter 297
Angeline paused for a while before asking, “Is that true?”
“Why would I lie to you? I''m a very reliable person. Are you hesitating because you''re scared?”
Jonathan replied teasingly.
“A little. I suppose...”
Sweat formed on her hand that was clenching the phone.
Previously, when herwyer said the orphanage couldn''t find Sebastian''s parentage, she had asked
Jonathan in private to help her build a connection with the orphanage so they could investigate more
easily.
However, now she was starting to hesitate.
If Sebastian really never went to the orphanage, that means Joseline lied to me. There will be changes
to Sebastian''s parentage!

“When did you be so cowardly? You have to face the music sooner orter. It''s not like you to be
so weak. You can pick a time. I will kindly apany you,” Jonathan advised.
Angeline calmed down a little, and after pondering for a moment, she replied. “Thank you. I will wait for
you at Forrester Group at three in the afternoon.”
“Sure,” Jonathan answered before hanging up.
Knowing someone would be apanying her. Angeline sighed in relief and pressed her forehead
against her clenched fists.
She couldn''t face the result herself. In order not to lose control of her emotions, she thought it was best
for Jonathan to go along.
That afternoon, after Angeline gave her orders to her subordinates, she left thepany and got into
the ck car parked in the parking lot.
Jonathan wore white leisure wear and had cut his sideburns. His fringe fell casually against liis
forehead, and a pair of ck sunsses covered half his face. Nevertheless, he was still handsome.
“It''s been a while, Ms. Sorelle. Yourpany is doing so well. No wonder you''re no longer in the
entertainment industry,” Jonathan teased as he ced his aims on the steering wheel.
Angeline arched her eyebrows and red at him through the rearview mirror.
“Shut up. If you''re interested, you can work for me.”
If Jonathan joined Forrester Group, he could get lots of resources for them, which would greatly benefit
her.
“No, thank you.” Starting the engine, he turned the steering wheel. “I''m very satisfied with my current
job.”
Angeline knew his personality, so she did not reply. She furrowed her brows, and a hint of suspicion
appeared in her eyes.
I don''t understand. If he''s really an average employee of apany like he said, how can he be so free
and have luxury cars and branded watches?
None of them said a word throughout the journey.
After nearly two hours of driving, Jonathan finally stopped at the entrance of a secluded orphanage.
It was a safe location geographically, as it was at the foot of the mountain.
Angeline and Jonathan got out of the car and stared at the orphanage. Many kids were ying with the
teacher in the courtyard.
“This is the orphanage Ms. Carden said she stole Sebastian from. She said she crawled in through the
wall and carried him away when all the kids were ying.”
Jonathan removed his sunsses and gazed at Angeline with doubt.
“I don''t know what details yourwyer gave you. but if Ms. Carden is wrong, we can return and
interrogate her.”
“Thank you,” she replied gratefully, amazed that he could be so thoughtful and well-prepared for all
kinds of scenarios.
“Who are you looking for?”
Just then, the security guard of the orphanage saw them.
“Hello, we have scheduled an appointment with your director. Please tell her that we''re here.”
“So it''s you two.” Smiling kindly, the security guard waved them in. “Come here and register your
details. I''ll bring you inside.”
After they registered themselves, the guard led them into the orphanage, and after a few turns, they
reached the director''s office.
The guard left. Angeline stared at the wooden door before her and took a deep breath before reaching
out to knock.
“Come in.” A gentle, feminine voice rang out from inside the room.
Angeline pushed open the door and sized up the office. The facilities inside were old. and the colors
had faded.
There were various badges hung on the wall.
“Ms. Evans, it''s been a while,” Jonathan greeted a curly-haired, middle-aged woman as he walked in
with Angeline.
“Johnny, you''re here,” Felicia Evans, the director, replied with a smile before pulling the chair before
her. “Come and take a seat. I remember you said you were bringing your friend along on the phone. Is
that right?”
“Yes.” Jonathan nced at Angeline. “This is her. She came here to ask you about some private
matters.”
Immediately, Angeline stepped forward and said politely, “Hello, I''m Angeline Sorelle.”
Holding her hands. Felicia replied with a smile, “You don''t need to be so polite. Since you''re Johnny''s
friend, you''re not an outsider.”
“You two know each other?” Angeline asked in surprise.
“Johnny is a big client of all the orphanages in this city. He owns a charity foundation, and every year,
he donates to all the orphanages and buys gifts for the kids. We all know him,” Felicia shared happily,
gratefulness evident on her face.
“There are not many young people like Johnny nowadays who are so charitable.”
At those words, the way Angeline looked at Jonathan changed. Although her face remained
nonchnt, her impression of him had gradually shifted.
“You have so many secrets, Mr. Johnny,” Angeline teased.
So he donates to these orphanages. No wonder he knew so much. He must have put in lots of effort to
build liis connections. After all, nothing is free in this world. We all must make an effort to see a result!
“Well, I''ll take that as apliment.” Jonathan schooled liis expression and ced his hands on liisp.
“Let''s get down to business.”
“Okay.”
Angeline gathered her thoughts, and her face turned serious.
Retrieving a folder from her bag behind her, she slowly untied the string and took out an old
newspaper.
“Ms. Evans, I''m sorry for visiting you out of nowhere. I just want to confinn something with you.”
