Chapter 22 Reverse Courtship
James was annoyed, his gaze becoming complicated. “Angela has been persistently pursuing Christopher and even went to the Sanders Residence a few times.”
Samuel looked disdainful, his eyes filled with disgust as he thought of Angela shamelessly clinging to Christopher and audaciously visiting the Sanderses. In Samuel’s mind, just like before, Angela must be shamelessly clinging to Jonathan. And someone like Jonathan would not be interested in Angela. He would surely see through her true nature in a few days and start to grow tired of Angela.
After leaving the gate. Angela breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jonathan, “Jonathan, thank you so much for today.”
Jonathan’s expression was indifferent. “You moved out of the Kins Family’s house? Any conflicts?”
Out of the blue, he suddenly asked such a question, leaving Angela stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled bitterly. “I have nothing to do with the Kins Family anymore.” Completely cutting ties with the Kins Family. They were no longer connected.
The man’s dark and deep eyes narrowed slightly, then he faintly nodded.
Suddenly remembering something. Angela took out a prepared bottle of herbal pills from her bag and handed it to Jonathan. Jonathan. I’ve adjusted these herbal pills according to your current physical condition. They will be very helpful when your symptoms act up.”
These were bought at a high price, and the money she spent on making these pills would be enough for her to use for a long time. Although for Jonathan, this money was just a small amount, for her, a poor student with less than 50 dollars to her name, it was really a lot.
Jonathan glanced at her, took the medicine bottle, and casually put it in his pocket. “Okay.”
Angela originally wanted to suggest that if he didn’t trust her, he could take it to an alternative medicine practitioner, but he accepted it without saying much. There was no need for further explanation. It felt really good to be trusted by someone! She felt a warm and comforting feeling in her heart spreading throughout.
Angela took Jonathan’s car back to school, and when Jessica saw her return, she finally let go of the worry in her heart. “Angela, you finally came back. Your message scared me to death. Luckily, you came back. safely. Otherwise, I would have called my cousin.” When Jessica received Angela’s message, her mind went blank, and she followed Angela’s instructions.
When she made the call, a young man answered. Although she didn’t know their relationship, Jessica didn’t dare to delay and cried, saying that Angela was arrested and had been taken to the police station. After a few seconds of silence on the other end, the person said they got it and hung up. Jessica was nervous for a long time before remembering that she still had a cousin in a leadership position in the police force.
“It’s okay, I’m back safely. I have to thank you for that.” Holding Jessica’s hand, Angela smiled happily. With Jonathan involved, it wouldn’t be easy for Samuel to clear his record, but the Kinses wouldn’t let the matter end like this. She wasn’t afraid, as she would face any challenges head–on.
Jessica sighed. This was Angela’s brother, who had blood ties with
“Hey, your brother is like your enemy.” Not knowing how to coer, but his actions were truly shocking.

hand and say, “Poor thing, stick with me from now on. I’ll protect you!”
Angela nodded, feeling touched. She knew that Jessica had always been supportive of her and understood her intentions. That’s why she trusted her best friend so much. The morning classes quickly passed, and after lunch, Angela prepared to go to the bubble tea shop for her part–time job.
Someone called out to her from behind, “Angela, where are you going?”
It was Angela’s cousin, Queenie Kins.
Hearing this voice, Angela froze for a moment, and with a hoarse voice, she asked, “Queenie?
George had three siblings. He was the eldest, and below him were two younger brothers and a sister. Queenie’s father was Zacharias Kins, and due to past events, he and George had not been in contact for
years.
In addition to their grandmother, Charlotte, Uncle Donald had a special affection for Angela. They had lived together when she was young, and Uncle Donald was very devoted to their mother and had a soft spot for Angela.
Queenie approached Angela and gently touched the faint scar on her forehead, her eyes filled with pity as she reproached, “If I hadn’t come, were you planning to keep this hidden from us? We’re still family, you know? This is significant. Although her words carried reproach, there was a strong sense of heartache in
her tone.
Indeed, it was inappropriate not to inform Donald and his family before moving out this time. Angela had intended to settle down before reaching out to them. Unexpectedly. Queenie came to find her, leaving Angela feeling a bit lost, especially since she hadn’t seen Donald’s family for a long time before her previous life ended.
Thinking of this, Angela guiltily smiled at Queenie. “I was planning to come and see you in a few days.”
Donald’s family was not very well–off, but they took good care of Angela and her grandmother. They lived nearby, so they often interacted. However, since her grandmother passed away and Angela was brought back to the Kins Family, she had no contact with Donald’s family.
During the years she lived with her grandmother, Queenie treated her very well, like a sister, taking care of her even though she was not talkative. She would save anything delicious or fun for her.
Queenie was several years older and already married. She had always been gentle and virtuous. After graduating from university, she married a company executive from a better family background than
Donald’s.
She was a good person. Unfortunately, fate did not treat her kindly.
During the period before her cousin’s death, she had very little contact with Donald’s family. She only heard that Queenie had an unhappy marriage, with a terrible husband and a sarcastic and harsh mother- in–law. Unable to bear the humiliation any longer, she jumped off a building after giving birth to a child. At this moment, when she saw the lively and gentle Queenie again, Angela’s eyes turned red, and a wave of sadness surged in her heart.
Initially, Queenie had intended to scold Angela, but upon seeing her eyes turning red, her heart softened. In a gentle voice, Queenie said, “You’ve been gone for a few days, but you haven’t come to visit. If my dad hadn’t informed me about your situation when I went back to my parents‘ house, I wouldn’t have known

anything.”
The more Queenie expressed her concern in a gentle voice, the more uncomfortable Angela felt. She had distanced herself from Donald’s family because the Kins Family disliked them, even though they genuinely cared for her, in order to please the Kins Family. Eventually, they became almost like strangers. Seeing Angela bow her head and remain silent, Queenie sighed and looked at the scars on Angela’s forehead, asking with concern, “Does it still hurt?”
Just these words of concern caused tears to well up in Angela’s eyes, and her nose tingled. Many things had happened in the past few days, and although some people cared about her, no one asked if she was in pain.
Sniffling. Angela forced a smile and shook her head at Queenie, saying, “It stopped hurting a long time
ago.”
