Chapter 207 Won’t Get Any Money
Her tone was gentle, tinged with a hint of sadness. “No matter what, you are my brother, and we are twins. Are you truly so heartless? Without my looks, my life is surely over.
Samuel was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated Angela to be so tender in her approach and to utter such words.
In his recollection, Angela had indeed displayed such soft moments, but after her departure, her demeanor had toughened. Her methods had become ruthless, and she had opposed everything they did. The once cautious younger sister had simply vanished.
Observing Samuel’s surprise, Angela continued, “I detest you, and I have no fondness for you. It’s because even though you are my true siblings, you all side with Fanny. I envy her for effortlessly securing your affection. But do you comprehend how I have spent my days at home since childhood?”
Samuel was irritated as he muttered, “Where do you conjure up all this nonsense?”
Angela appeared disheartened. “I had hoped for too much. I had yearned for the love of my siblings, but it appears that everything I do backfires…”
Angela’s tone grew increasingly bitter, causing Samuel to feel inexplicably agitated. “Enough! Stop speaking! Just cut already. Do not put on a show here.”
Naturally, Angela will never admit her error. She must be pretending.
Angela forced a wry smile. “I understand. I only wish that you, at the very least, as siblings, can keep your promise. Once I am disfigured, I will have no chance against Fanny. At that point, I hope…”
At this point, Angela lowered her head and implored, “Could you turn away? I do not wish for you to witness me being harmed. Otherwise, if you regret it later, it will weigh heavily on your conscience.”
Samuel scratched his head before muttering, “As you wish.
He turned his back to Angela, who then smirked.
How foolish of him to turn his back on an adversary wielding a sharp blade.
Without hesitation, Angela swiftly severed the rope binding her feet. She rose slowly, feeling a bit numb in her legs, and leaned against the wall for support.

He had been deceived by Angela’s pretense, and upon turning around, he witnessed Angela standing unsteadily after cutting the
rope.
Samuel gritted his teeth and lunged toward her. “Angela, how dare you deceive me?!”
Angela deflected with the dagger, slicing Samuel’s arm.
He recoiled, his visage contorted in a menacing expression. He poised to strike at Angela again but hesitated upon seeing the dagger in her grasp.
Samuel promptly shouted to the individuals outside, “What are you waiting for? Restrain her!”
Two more individuals rushed in.
Angela tightly gripped the dagger as she faced the approaching individuals. She endeavored to remain composed. “It has been nearly an hour since we vanished. I believe the authorities are en route. The wisest course of action now is to depart. Otherwise, if apprehended, a lengthy prison sentence awaits. Samuel neglected to inform you, did he? I am Mrs. Lawson, Jonathan Lawson’s wife. If any harm befalls me, you, along with your family and acquaintances, will face dire consequences!”
The group exchanged glances and hesitated.
The group’s eyes reflected a renewed determination.
Angela appeared more composed than before as she stated, “I turned against my own family. because he provoked me. But prior to this, I held no grudge against any of you. Now, I’m asking for nothing more than for you to leave, and I promise to settle any debts. He is attempting to flee and is abandoned by the Kins Family. Think carefully if you want to blindly follow him.”
He was truly anxious now.
These fools! If they just use their brains a bit, they will realize that Angela’s words can’t be trusted!
