Chapter 48 Unexpected Alliances
“Alright.” Jonathan replied to Angela.
Angela couldn’t hold back her tears.
Who wouldn’t want someone to support them as a child? However, she had never had someone to rely on like this before. Except for Jonathan.
Now, she also had someone to back her up.
Jonathan's voice was not loud, but it struck David like a heavy hammer. Did he hear something wrong? Angela called out to Jonathan. So, the child that Jonathan mentioned was Angela.
Wasn't Sebastian Angela’s father?

Before he could doubt for too long, Sebastian had already said to Angela, “Angela, Mr. Lawson happened. to be with me, so we came to see you together.”
In just three seconds, David was already sweating profusely, his legs weak.
He recognized the importance of considering auspicious timings before leaving his residence today or, at the very least, evaluating his personal well-being. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have engaged in an altercation with a member of the Lawson Family.
If Jonathan expresses displeasure and takes any action, would the Johnston Family have any recourse left? “Dad?” Observing David's demeanor, Stella felt a sense of unease.
Judging by the situation, was she not allowed to hit Angela?
If she had known, she would have slapped her first. She was so angry.
Look at her swollen face. It was all messed up because of Angela!
While Stella was still covering her face, Jonathan had already seen the slap mark on Angela’s face.
“Mr. Lawson, Stella really knows how to cause trouble, even calling you over. I’m really sorry.” Scarlet also knew the importance and quickly came forward to greet him.
But Jonathan didn’t give “Who hit you?”
her a glance; he just looked at the slap mark on Angela’s face, his gaze deepening. Angela was on the verge of crying, and she looked at David without saying a word. Jonathan turned his gaze back to David.

David was so scared that he was profusely sweating, and it took him a long time to stammer, “Mr. Lawson, it’s a misunderstanding. | really didn’t know that Miss Angela was your sister. I’m really sorry, Miss Angela. I'll make it up to you.”
“Sir, you can’t bully others like this. You have to be reasonable. It was Angela who hit me first; she slapped me three times. My dad only slapped her once to protect me.” Stella showed her swollen face. Her tone was like the heroine in a popular TV drama who, despite being bullied by the powerful, still stubbornly spoke up, attracting wealthy suitors.
But Jonathan just glanced at her and didn’t respond; instead, he looked at Angela. “How do you want to resolve this?”
“Mr. Lawson, Angela is my daughter. Our family has decided to settle this privately with Mr. Johnston. It’s not good for you to intervene. Scarlet couldn’t help but speak up.
She couldn’t understand how Angela could be considered Jonathan’s child. Even if he was powerful, he couldn’t bypass her to manage Angela.
Samuel was also somewhat wary of Jonathan, but he also resented him for helping Angela once, so he also spoke up. “Mr. Lawson, can you stop interfering in our family affairs? You and Angela don’t have any relationship, right?”
Jessica couldn’t stand it anymore. They didn’t support Angela; that was one thing, but now that Angela finally had someone backing her up, they wanted to drive him away. Were they even human?
Although she didn’t know what the relationship between Jonathan and Angela was, she immediately shouted out on purpose. “Settle privately? According to your definition of settling privately, is it to slap Angela a few more times?”
David stumbled, almost kneeling down to his teammates who were digging his grave. Were they helping him or harming him? Initially, Jonathan didn’t know about his previous request, but now that he knew, could this matter be resolved easily? Jonathan nodded slightly.
David quickly pulled Stella behind him and glared at her. “Stella, what nonsense are you talking about? Apologize to Miss Angela quickly!”
“Dad!” Stella couldn’t believe it. Why should she apologize? She still wanted to argue, but David slapped her face. “Still not apologizing?” Tears streamed down Stella’s face as she clenched her fists, unwilling to apologize to Angela.
Finally, Angela spoke. “Jonathan, | don’t need an apology, but | want the truth about what happened today. If the school can’t provide it, I'll call the police.”
Jonathan, who had just arrived and didn’t know the cause, waved his hand upon hearing her words.
The bodyguard pushing his wheelchair behind him called out, and eight burly bodyguards in black suits squeezed into the small office, each with their biceps bulging against their suits.

David stammered, “Alright, Miss Angela. Not only will | apologize today, but | will also tell you the truth. Please don’t let Mr. Lawson lose his temper.”
is my With that, be raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then slapped himself hard twice. “This is apology to you.”
It was only at this moment that Stella finally realized the severity of the situation. Her face turned pale. and she dared not speak recklessly anymore.
Who on earth was this person that even David, a prominent figure in the Riverdon business world, was so
afraid of?
Thomas, feeling completely numb, tried his best to minimize his presence, fearing that Jonathan would notice him. If he had known that there was such a powerful figure behind Angela, he would have risked everything to protect her just now,
Scarlet, repeatedly ignored, looked very upset, especially since she couldn’t understand why Jonathan was so protective of Angela.
What made Angela so special?
No matter how confused she was, she didn’t dare to speak out. She could only watch as Angela meticulously unraveled all the events that had just happened. Thomas quickly had someone check the surveillance footage, which confirmed everything.
To everyone’s surprise, it was Stella who had drugged Jessica, causing Angela to hit her.
Even more surprisingly, the drug was actually obtained from Fanny.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Scarlet’s eyelids twitched.
Sebastian looked coldly at these people, then stepped forward. “Mr. Lawson, should we bring Fanny over?”
“No!” Scarlet exclaimed, her voice filled with agitation. “Didn't you all see? This has nothing to do with Fanny. It was Stella who approached Fanny for it. She had no idea!”
Her words went unnoticed by the others. Jonathan continued to gaze at Angela, awaiting her opinion. After a moment of contemplation, Angela looked up and
, Jonathan, please wait a moment. | have another question to ask. Stella, | have a question for you. Did you untie the rope that held the banner?”
She had intended to review the surveillance footage of the banner rope, but it turned out to be a blind spot and was not captured. At that moment, it wasn’t just Stella who was present.
Fanny was also there.
