Chapter 148 The Phoenix
Angela pushed Britney aside without paying attention to Scarlet’s anger. “Are you sure you are my legal mother? Are you sure you want me to acknowledge you? Huh?” Angela gave Britney an icy glare while speaking in a chilly tone.
Britney rubbed the painful spot on her wrist. She was in too much pain to speak for a moment, but this also gave her some time to clear her mind. When Angela was young, she was always treated as a burden. As a child, she was either scolded, beaten, or used as free labor–food was only given as a means of keeping her alive. Now that she’s successful, and especially since the’s not my biological child, she really isn’t obligated to do anything for me. Hore could I expect her to come back to me? Britney though
Fanny was her biological child, and they were connected by blood. Fanny was someone who wouldn’t be able to get rid of her. Moreover, the Kins Family clearly only cared about her biological child, so she had to hold on tightly to her own flesh and blood!
After sorting it out, Britney straightened her back, snorted, and swept past the people of the Kins Family. T almost got fooled by you guys! She is not my biological daughter. Don’t try to deceive me just because I can’t find my biological daughter! If you don’t call my biological daughter over now, I will make the whole Riverdon know that you are keeping my daughter away from me and bullying a country bumpkin like
me.”
Angela rubbed her palms together as she looked at the scene before her eyes with a smile on her face. This is more like it, she thought. Samuel was so angry that his chest heaved violently. His face was burning, and he clenched his fists in preparation to smash Angela’s face. At this moment, Oliver rushed out from a comer before fiercely grabbing Samuels
arm and throwing him over his shoulder. Thud! Then, Oliver quickly twisted Samuel’s arm and pressed it against his back.
Both the sound of bones cracking and Samuel’s screams filled the air simultaneously. Aside from Angela, the Kins and Britney were all shocked by this sudden turn of events. Scarlet screamed and was about to rush over, but James held her back. “Mom, she belongs to Jonathan now,” he whispered.
Scenes of the past replayed themselves as Samuel writhed in pain. Hatred suddenly bubbled in his chest, along with a hint of regret. I should have… found a place where no one was around, he thought. Angela glanced over at James and George, who were holding themselves back. A mocking smile surfaced on her lips as she looked at Samuel. “You truly are the most brainless one in the Kins Family.”
“Angela!” Scarlet pointed at her angrily. “You’re becoming more audacious! Just because you’ve attached yourself to Jonathan, you think you’re soaring like a phoenix above all of us. You never know when you might fall down!” Scarlet shouted.
As her words fell, another cold and indifferent voice spoke up. “My lady can be audacious if she wants to. As long as I support her, she won’t fall.” Jonathan was wheeled over by Simon, and Angela’s eyes lit up when she saw him. “Jonathan, weren’t you busy? Why did you suddenly come?” she asked.
I’m done with my work. I came to pick you up. Jonathan’s tone changed into one that was gentler as he took her hand into his. George couldn’t help but feel nervous when he saw the situation. He glanced at James, whose expression also showed a hint of uncase.
The father and son exchanged a glance before they both put on a smile and approached. Jonathan. George bent down with a warm smile, “Mr. Lawson, my wife didn’t mean what she said just now. It was all
a misunderstanding. She was upset that Angela married you without telling us. Fanny is engaged to Christopher, and now Angela is married to you. Our families are really getting closer.”

Chapter 148 The Phoenix
Jonathan raised an eyebrow as he shifted his intimidating gaze to George. The look in Jonathan’s eyes sent shivers down George’pme. “If I remember correctly. Angela has already been adopted by the Donald Fanuby, so she has nothing to do with the Kins Family, right?”
jonathan’s gaze shifted back to see the calm look on Angela’s face, and a hint of a smile surfaced on his hips. Is that correct. Angela
Angela wanted to laugh. Why is James acting all noble and haughty? Angela tilted her head and tucked her hair behind her ear while pretending not to understand his message. James pursed his lips as the color drained out of his face. Scarlet had also lost her momentum and rage at that point, but deep down, she was still unhappy about the situation. It’s my right to discipline Angela! What right does Jonathan have to interfere?! Even if Angela marries Jonathan, I’m still his mother–in–law, and Samuel is still his nephew. How can she treat her nephew like this?
Although his expression was as cold as ice, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. “I don’t like to play around,” he hissed.
