Someone frowned and said unhappily, “What’s going on? Didn’t we hook the whole place? Why are there still people here?”
The knocking on the door outside became more urgent. The waiter had no choice but to open the door. After the waiter opened the door, a gust of wind rushed in.
“John, go check it out.” The man rolled his eyes. “It’s been a while since we finally got to see each other. Don’t let anyone ruin the mood.”
John nodded. “Got it. Don’t drink too much, or you’ll get drunk.”
Angela knew the person called John. When they first met, everyone introduced themselves. Although she didn’t remember everyone clearly, she had a deep impression of Josh because he was the owner of the Elysian Villa.
John was chubby, had long hair tied in a small braid, and had a small beard. He looked like someone not to be messed with. However, he seemed to be a kind person, and his voice was soft when talking to Angela.
In no time, John returned, but a group of people followed him.
“What’s going on, John? Why did you bring people in?”
Angela looked over and was surprised to see a familiar face.
Fanny was dressed lightly. Her face was pale from the cold as she cuddled in Christopher’s arms for warmth. There were a few young people behind them, not worth mentioning by name, but they used to always hang around with Fanny in school. They seemed surprised to see Angela and Jonathan..
Jonathan raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s going on?” His voice, was not loud, but it made the others feel uneasy.
John walked up to Jonathan and explained, “We were having so much fun that we lost track of time, and we didn’t book a hotel. All the nearby ones are fully booked. Then, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, so it was hard to drive. Hence, we thought of staying here for the night.”
“I think it’s your brother… So, I thought I would do you a favor. John’s voice got low as he spoke.
Jonathan glanced at Christopher and said nothing.

Chapter 294 You Must Take the Blame
The others recognized Christopher. Although they weren’t on good terms, they couldn’t turn away a family in need, so they said nothing more.
Fanny was unhappy since she ran into Angela while out on a trip. However, she had no choice. The car broke down, and the snow outside was heavy. They had no way to contact anyone down the mountain. Besides, she noticed that several people present were either wealthy or of high status. Being able to appear in this group meant that the others‘ identities were undoubtedly not simple.
Seeing that it was Christopher’s brother, the others breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was familiar, they felt it should be fine to accommodate them for the night. Thus, someone nudged Christopher and whispered. “Christopher, I see that the boss and your brother are close. Why don’t you ask him for help? This mansion is so big, so I bet there’s enough room for a few extra guests.
Yeah. Christopher. We’re counting on you.”
Listening to their words, Christopher tensed up, feeling a sharp sting in his heart.
Jonathan” Christopher respectfully called out.
Jonathan glanced at him and nodded nonchalantly before pulling Angela over. “Drink this first to ward off the cold.”
Angela blinked, wondering, dre we showing our affection now?
“Okay.” She didn’t even glance at Fanny and Christopher.
Fanny stepped out of Christopher’s embrace and shivered from the cold. She said softly, “Angela, I didn’t know you were here. I’m sorry. We won’t stay. We’ll leave right away.” With that, she turned around and pulled Christopher, getting ready to leave.
“Why are you leaving The others were puzzled. “It’s snowing heavily outside. We’ll freeze to death if we go out now.”
Fanny hesitated and smiled apologetically. “Let’s go look for another hotel. Maybe we’ll get lucky and find a vacant room? If I stay here. Angela will be unhappy. I’ve taken her place for so many years. It’s my turn to give back to her.”
Hearing her words, Naomi, who was Fanny’s friend, couldn’t stand it anymore. “What are you talking about? Everyone knows the situation of the Kins Family. The Kins Family would rather have you than their own daughter, which shows how despicable and vile some people can be.”
Angela frowned as she listened to the two of them argue back and forth. She felt that this was

Fanny glanced worriedly at Angela and said, “Don’t say that. Angela feels bad, too. She didn’t want this either, but she has suffered a lot since she was young. It’s only fair for her to ask for more when she comes back.”
Does that mean I’m being unreasonable? thought Angela.
