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 iliness. 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 home phone
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 came
to 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,
causing Angela pain.
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 become bold. 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 time here 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 came over 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 I feel
guilty? If my own brother doesn’t behave properly. I 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 became agitated. He, who was usually calm,
suddenly lost his temper.
Angela raised her gaze indifferently, “Oh? I consider him my brother, but does he
consider me his sister? Since he doesn’t care about my well-being, why should I
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, I always thought you were just stubborn, but I 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 instantly 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 time I’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 some
reason, seeing her attitude, he couldn’t engage in a proper discussion. But upon
seeing Angela’s frosty demeanor, James became even more irritated.
