If I’m not happy, I’ll make your son suffer Stella’s face turned dark with anger as she pointed at Angela and cursed, while Fanny struggled with a pale face, hiding behind Stella
“How could you, Angela? Fanny was trying to save you, and you repay her with ingratitude? No wonder your parents and brother don’t like you. You’re so malicious! Who would like you? You’re just reaping what you sow!”
Stella was furious. Fanny tried to help, but not only was she bullied, but now she was being harassed by Norma, who was from the countryside. Meanwhile, Angela, to protect herself, even pushed Fanny out.
With such a malicious sister, Fanny is truly pitiful!
At that, Angela sneered lightly, her side profile looking even more delicate. “Just because someone sheds a tear doesn’t make them pitiful. If you don’t understand the situation, don’t meddle. It won’t make you seem kind, only foolish in my eyes!”
Fanny, with tears in her eyes, wanted to say something but was coldly interrupted by Angela. “Do you know what crime her son committed? Economic crimes, and embezzlement of public funds amounting to hundreds of thousands. You guys are even better than the police, jumping to conclusions out of thin air!”
The cold wind blew, lifting Angela’s slightly curled black hair, making her smirk coldly, like a disdainful sea nymph. “If you want to be a good person, then go save him! Rescuing an economic criminal, huh? You really are a great person. I didn’t expect you to have a wish to save the world, acting like a saint!”
Fanny bit her lip, her eyes slightly red. She looked like a pitiful and helpless kitten, evoking sympathy.
“I didn’t know
“You didn’t know? Stop meddling, then! Use your brain a bit. At that point, Angela glanced at the group of people, guessing that Oliver should have arrived.
She turned to leave.
Just as she took a few steps, a tall figure appeared in front of her. Felix blocked her way.
Felix looked at the beautiful face in front of him, feeling a slight tremor in his heart. There was a complexity in his eyes that couldn’t be expressed.
He reached out and grabbed Angela’s arm, his tone slightly cold as he demanded, “The evidence you. reported to the police station… Was it you? What deep grudge do you have with Horace to push him to such a desperate situation?”
Angela chuckled lightly as she looked at Felix with disdain.
“Felix, how dare you say that to me? People only realize the pain when they are hit with a stick. When you and Horace conspired against me, trying to get me in your clutches, did you have a conscience?”
Felix paused, his eyes darkening.
“Do you think I don’t know? Don’t treat everyone like fools.” Angela forcefully pushed his hand away. “I want Horace to rot in jail. He cheated while making Queenie work like a slave in the Swine Family. Just ask

your dear aunt. Has she even taken a good look at Queenie? Queenie is either being beaten or scolded by you, and you even secretly arranged for Horace to have affairs. My cousin has to ask your aunt for a transportation allowance, and only after being scolded can she get the money! However, she is now lying in the hospital after being almost killed by Horace’s lover. Let me ask you something–what deep hatred. does my cousin have with your Swine Family? What did my cousin do wrong to deserve this treatment from you? One should not be so shameless in life!”
At that point, Angela saw Oliver open the car door and stride towards them through the crowd. She breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t be bothered to deal with Felix any more.
Meanwhile, Felix was left speechless. He always thought that Angela was just an ignorant and rich girl- beautiful, good at studying, and had never experienced the harshness of society.
Angela turned around, glanced at Norma who was still holding onto Fanny, then turned back and raised her dark eyes. She stated calmly. “So, Horace deserves what he’s going through now. If he hadn’t done those things, I wouldn’t have found out. Tell your aunt that if she wants her son to have an easier time there, she should stay away from me. Don’t make me unhappy. Otherwise, if I’m not happy, I’ll make Horace suffer a hundred times more.”
After saying that, Angela walked away.
Felix’s eyes darkened as he stared ominously at Angela, recalling the sight of Horace at the police station. The man’s eyes were red as if stained with blood, looking haggard and aged, completely devoid of his former vigor.
If he let Angela go like this, Horace’s case would be settled, and his whole life would be ruined. Felix’s mind was in turmoil. In the end, he gritted his teeth and chased after Angela.
Just as he was about to grab Angela again, a powerful force suddenly reached out and firmly grasped his outstretched wrist.
In the blink of an eye, Felix’s originally calm face twisted into a fierce expression. Oliver, tall as a mountain, seemed to exert only a fraction of his strength, but Felix was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out all over him.
Large beads of sweat dripped from Felix’s forehead, but he gritted his teeth and locked eyes with Oliver’s intimidating black gaze.
“Mrs. Lawson, you go ahead and get in the car. Leave this to me,” Oliver said calmly.
Angela nodded. Without looking back, she left and got into the back seat of the car.
After Angela left, Oliver looked Felix up and down. He snorted coldly and disdainfully said, “You’re the man who harassed Mrs. Lawson, huh? A jobless drifter and a jack of all trades, but good at nothing. Pah! With that sorry look, do you think you’re worthy of pursuing a girl? If I see you harassing Mrs. Lawson again. I’ll break your legs. Otherwise, her husband won’t be as easygoing as me. Be careful, or he’ll send you in to keep your buddy Horace company. If that happens, you can be together in hardship and joy!”
