Chapter 19 Nothing Good Comes From Escalation
It felt as if a veil had been lifted from a precious gem, revealing its dazzling brilliance. Jonathan closed the book
and spoke softly. “It's quite rare.”
Sebastias pondered for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t we inform the police station and request the
increased attention? Let's not be careless and overlook this as a minor issue.”
Only she could treat Master Jonathan's illness. It's only natural to show concern and care.
Jonathan didn’t respond immediately. He shifted his gaze, lowered his head, and reopened the book. After a
while, he whispered. “Hmm, let's use the hphone to make the call.”
Sebastian happily agreed and dialed the number using the landline.
The next day, early in the morning, Genevieve had prepared porridge and cto call Angela for breakfast.
Unable to refuse her hospitality, Angela had no choice but to go and drink a bowl of porridge.
A few years ago, Harold suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. It was Charlotte who cured him, and she never
accepted any consultation fees. The two families were neighbors, so they often interacted. Since returning to the
Kins Family a few years ago, Angela didn’t like to talk and was insecure and sensitive. The two elderly people
genuinely liked her and always thought of her when there was something delicious. It could be said that the
years Angela spent with Charlotte were the happiest times.
After finishing the porridge, Angela took the initiative to wash the bowl and then hurriedly went downstairs.
When she reached the corner of the stairs, a strong hand grabbed her wrist. The person walked quickly, and
Angela couldn't keep up with his pace. He dragged her downstairs, stumbling and bumping along the way,

When James reached the last step, he forcefully pulled Angela, causing her to fall from the stairs. Losing her
balance, Angela fell onto James’ body, twisting her ankle in the process, causing her great pain.
Before she could react, James’ grinding teeth could be heard from above. “Angela, you've becbold. How
dare you report Samuel to the police, causing him to be taken away for questioning early in the morning. How
could you be so malicious and not spare even your own brother?”
The pain in her ankle was excruciating, but Angela gritted her teeth and met James furious gaze. Although
Samuel damaged Genevieve’s house, James didn’t bother to ask for the reasons and scolded her without any
justification. In her past life, when faced with James’ questioning, she would have immediately apologized,
repented, and felt that she had done something wrong. But now, not only did she not do that. but she also
greeted him with the most malicious words.
Angela coldly said, “Instead of wasting there glaring at me, you should think about how to get him. released.
Otherwise, if he has a criminal record, no matter how much education he gets, it will be useless.
At this moment, Angela was terrifyingly calm. Samuel was a college student, and in order to find a good job in
the future, he had to have a clean record. If this incident had not been handled well, it would undoubtedly have
left a deep stain on Samuel's life.
James naturally understood this, which was why he cover early in the morning. He wanted to take Angela to
the police station and explain to the police that this was just a misunderstanding so that Samuel could be
released on bail. This is the fastest and most direct way to release Samuel on bail. “Don’t you feel any guilt? He
is your own brother. How can you be so heartless and say such things?”

Chapter 19 Nothing Good Comes From Escaauun
As the eldest of the family, James remained calm and composed. But faced with Angela, who had always been
gentle and obedient, suddenly becoming so heartless, he couldn't remain calm. The fact that Angela personally
sent her own brother to the police station had caused an uproar in the Kins Family. Everyone was like cats on hot
bricks, wishing they could tear Angela apart. Fanny, in particular, was so worried that she hadn't even eaten
breakfast.
Angela glanced at the furious James and calmly responded, “Why should | feel guilty? If my own brother doesn’t
behave properly. | have to use the law to protect my own rights” Faced with James‘ accusations, Angela
remained composed. She had already anticipated this. With such a significant incident, the Kins Family would
undoubtedly take action. On the contrary, if Angela had been involved in such a situation, she would probably
have been imprisoned. The Kins Family always excluded her. In their eyes, she was merely an outsider.
“Angela, how can you say such things? Regardless, he is your brother. How can you personally send your own
brother to prison? Are you still human?” Seemingly provoked by Angela, James becagitated. He, who was
usually calm, suddenly lost his temper.
Angela raised her gaze indifferently, “Oh? | consider him my brother, but does he considerhis sister? Since
he doesn’t care about my well-being, why should | care about him?” Seeing through the true nature of the Kins
Family, Angela doesn’t hold back when confronting them, even if that person was her once highly respected
older brother.
James couldn't control himself and slapped Angela’s face, then angrily shouted, “Angela, | always thought you
were just stubborn, but | never expected you to be so heartless. You don’t deserve to be our sister.”
The slap left a distinct handprint on Angela’s small face; it was a brutal slap. Angela felt her cars ringing and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminstantly felt a surge of anger. She didn’t know if it was because of the pain or anger, but her whole body
trembled. In the past, even if the Kinses were angry, they would only verbally attack Angela, never resorting to
physical violence.
But this time, James actually hit her! Who gave him the right to hit her? Finally, touching her swollen check,
Angela sneered. “This is the last tI'm allowing you to hit me.” Angela's eyes turned icy as she looked at
James coldly.
Originally, James intended to have a civil conversation with Angela, but for sreason, seeing her attitude, he
couldn't engage in a proper discussion. But upon seeing Angela's frosty demeanor, James beceven more
irritated.
Anger surged in James’ heart, “If you hadn't promised to give the spot to Fanny only to then give it to Jessica
instead, would Samuel have done all these things? Ultimately, it's your fault. He was just causing a minor
disturbance. What benefit is there for you to blow things out of proportion?”
“A minor disturbance?” Angela's heart turned cold upon hearing this, her eyes gradually reddening. “He smashed
Grandma's house! It was the only thing Grandma left behind.” It was also the only thing left for her after
Grandma's death. But in the eyes of the Kins Family, these things were considered insignificant
matters.
Seeing Angela’s eyes turning red, James was momentarily stunned, and then his dark eyes grew deeper, “But
you want Samuel to have a criminal record just for the sake of a deceased person?”
Angela sneered, “People must be held accountable for their actions.” Just like the mistakes of her past life cost
her life, James should also face the consequences of his actions. After saying that, Angela didn’t want to say
anything more. She turned and walked away. She still had classes to attend and a part-tjob to go to. There
were still many things she needed to do; arguing with them would only be a waste of time.
