Chapter 96 Every Corner of the Kins Residence Is Disgusting
Oliver’s crude action stunned the housekeeper instantly, and with fear and panic, she shouted while backing up, “You’re trespassing on private property! If you dare do anything, I’ll call the police and have you arrested!”
Angela’s gaze turned icy in response. “Now, how can you say that? Am I not allowed in my own home?”
Always remembering that his task was to keep Angela from harm’s way and intercept anyone or anything that upset her, Oliver shoved the yapping housekeeper and threatened, “Another word, and I’ll beat you up as I did with that gate.”
The housekeeper shut up instantly, shuddering in fear.
As Angela looked at the gate Oliver violently tore down, she felt inexplicably pleased. With her chin up in the air, she proclaimed, “Well done. You get a raise!”
“Thank you, Mrs. Lawson.”
Mrs. Lawson? Angela wanted to correct him but ultimately held back. After all, Oliver wasn’t wrong to address her as such.
What was she doing now? Had she not come to retrieve her household registration so that she and Jonathan could get married?!
She blushed in response, and to calm herself down, she muttered repeatedly about needing to get used to Oliver and the others calling her ‘Mrs. Lawson.
This is a part of the agreement. Jonathan has helped me so much. I have to do my part.
With Oliver’s show of force, none of the other Kins Family servants dared to step forward.
Angela quickly walked in and entered the living room, which looked just like before with a slight difference–the framed photo on the wall had changed.
In the freshly taken photo, Fanny was wearing that day’s outfit, holding Christopher’s arm, standing beside Scarlet, with her four brothers standing firmly behind. Everyone in the photo had a smile on their face, exceptionally harmonious.
After just one glance, Angela looked away and went straight to the small utility room she used to stay in.
The door of the utility room was slightly ajar, as if there were too many things piled up

inside, and the door couldn’t close properly.
She pulled the door open and found that the room had been filled with clutter in her absence. Several boxes were placed on her bed, haphazardly stacked.
Angela remained calm as she walked in, rolling up her sleeves, and began to move the cardboard boxes on the bed one by one.

Glancing inside the boxes, she saw that they were filled with Fanny’s outdated clothes and unwanted items.
Is this meant to tell me that only what Fanny doesn’t want, I can have?
Oliver followed closely behind, but upon entering, he immediately frowned at the cramped and cluttered space. Is this where ma’am used to live?
Though he had only known Angela for a few days, he couldn’t help feeling enraged at the sight.
With a stern face, he strode forward and took the boxes from Angela’s hands. “Let me do all the heavy lifting, Mrs. Lawson. You just give the order.”
Angela, still recovering from her injuries, quickly agreed. “Take all these boxes, the ones on the bed, and these ones too, and throw them all into the living room!”
“Okay.” With his strength, Oliver swiftly cleared the clutter in no time.
Bam, bam!
The sound of things being tossed around frightened the servants standing at the corners of the hall, their faces turning pale with fear, afraid that the stern–looking brute would beat them up.
One of the servants, frightened, quickly called George. “Sir, please come back quickly. Angela has brought in a burly man, and we couldn’t stop them. They’ve thrown away a lot of Miss Fanny’s belongings.”
Back in the utility room, Angela pulled out a dusty bag and silently began to pack the remaining items after shaking off the dust. There wasn’t much left of hers here, just some books left by her grandmother and a few photographs.
Last time, she couldn’t take everything with her in one suitcase, so she only packed the essentials. This time, she planned to take everything away, leaving nothing behind for the Kins Family to grow tired of.

After finishing the cleanup, Angela walked out and stared at the housekeeper. “Where is the household registration?”
After taking a gander at Oliver’s towering figure, the housekeeper rushed upstairs in fright and returned with the household registration in her hands, which were trembling as she handed it to Angela.
page.
Then, she glanced at the dismantled gate. “I’ll compensate for the gate. I’ll have someone deliver a new one later. I won’t owe the Kins Family anything,” she said and left Kins Residence with Oliver.
Angela’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, good–looking people have no flaws from any angle!
She held up her skirt and jogged toward the car, and after poking her head inside, she chirped with sparkling eyes, “Look. I got the household registration.”
“You have no idea how intimidating Oliver was just now. When the servants refused to let us in, Oliver, with his strong muscles, simply broke the iron gate. Who knows how much that gate was worth? I even pretended to be generous and said we’d compensate them for it.” Angela was animated as she spoke, her face lively and bright. “And then I threw away all of Fanny’s stuff, so we need to leave quickly to avoid running into them and wasting our breath.
