Chapter 42 The Speech Competition
“You!” Bruce was extremely upset. If it weren’t for Jonathan’s poor health, he
would have liked to give him a firm pat on the shoulder, just like Terence did
when he was displeased.
His grandson, who lost his mother at a young age and had such a blood-sucking
family, had struggled so hard from childhood to adulthood, and it broke his heart
to see it.
If he didn’t take better care of him, how could he answer to his daughter?
Looking at Jonathan’s cold eyes, the old man’s anger faded instantly, and he
gave in with a good temper. “Alright, if you don’t like Angela, you can find
someone else. But how could you say that you won’t get married! If your mother
were…”
At this point, Bruce’s face showed a hint of sadness and reluctance, and he
finally waved his hand. Take your medicine. I’m leaving now.”
Before leaving, he swiftly grabbed the prescription Angela had left on the table,
carefully folded it, and put it in the pocket of his suit.
Terence had been treating Jonathan for a year or two without much success, but
now, a young doctor had surpassed him. He wanted to take this prescription and
show it to him just to annoy him. If Angela couldn’t become his granddaughter—
in-law, she could be his god—granddaughter!
For some reason, he liked Angela the moment he saw her, and his fondness for
her grew with every word they exchanged.
Angela and Bruce left one after another, and the villa quickly returned to its usual
silence. Jonathan stared at the birds flying away outside the window for a long
time, motionless.
The end of autumn was approaching, and the migratory birds were flying in the
gray sky for a while before they left one after another.
Sebastian followed his gaze and didn’t know what he was looking at, but his
heart still ached. Jonathan was not just avoiding marriage. He had previously not
even planned to live for a few more years.
He had been so sick before, barely sleeping an hour or two a day. How could he
have any expectations for
the future?
“Mr. Lawson, Old Mr. Lawson cares about you, so don’t take it to heart.”
“I know,” Jonathan closed his eyes, then opened them again, no longer looking
out the window. “Sebastian, bring me the medicinal meal.”
Sebastian nodded and went to get the medicinal meal Angela had brought,
sighing helplessly. Well, there’s still a long way to go. One step at a time. Maybe,
just as Angela said, the future will be full of hope.
After all, after taking Angela’s medicine, Jonathan was getting better, so he could
be cured!
After delivering this medicinal meal, Angela delivered a few more times, but
Jonathan seemed to be busy. A few times when he was at the company, she
could only wait outside the villa for Sebastian to come back and take it over.

ic reason, she felt that Jonathan was intentionally keeping his distance from her.
Once, when she went to see him, he didn’t even speak to her, and as soon as he
saw her, he went back to his room to work.
Angela felt a sense of indescribable loss but quickly adjusted her mood. Because
the milk tea shop’s business was gradually improving, she made a considerable
income from it, so her attention gradually shifted to the shop.
The days passed by, and the leaves on the trees turned from golden to a dry,
caramel color. Angela swapped her short-sleeved dress for a long white shirt and
light blue jeans.
She pulled her hair up in a high ponytail, looking very energetic. Her clean little
face, like that of an clusive fairy, was unforgettable, and as she walked on
campus, many people frequently looked at her.
The Brundelian speech competition was about to start, and she was rushing to
cheer for Jessica to defeat Fanny
“Angela” From a distance, Jessica saw Angela and jumped up excitedly, waving
at her.
Angela ran over. “Jess, are you nervous?”
Jessica shook her head, smiling. “With you here, I don’t feel nervous at all. Just
wait and see how I outperform Fanny!”
Seeing her confident expression, Angela relaxed, but suddenly, a sneer came
from behind them. “Outperform Fanny? That’s quite a boast!”
They turned around and saw Fanny and her friend, Stella Johnston. Stella’s
family was also wealthy, and as an only child, she had developed a slightly
arrogant demeanor. Few students dared to challenge her.
Fanny pulled at Stella’s sleeve. “Stella, Jessica is an excellent student. She’s
often the top student in our class, so she can afford to make such statements.”
“Fanny, no matter how talented she is, she shouldn’t be so arrogant. Remember,
there’s always someone better out there!” Stella sneered, her gaze towards
Angela and Jessica turning colder.
She and Jessica had always been at odds. Both came from affluent families, but
Jessica was more attractive and popular. Stella once overheard two classmates
comparing her to Jessica, saying that she was inferior. Since then, she held a
grudge against Jessica.
On the other hand, there was Angela, who used to be timid and unnoticed. Now,
more and more people were praising her beauty.
How could a person change so much? Did she undergo plastic surgery? Stella
wondered.
Angela raised her dark, beautiful eyes, staring at the two of them without blinking.
“Yeah, being in first place is amazing. The feeling of being on top is even
sweeter. Wait until you guys achieve first place, then come and argue with us.”
She knew better than anyone how hard Jessica had prepared for this
competition, while she had seen Fanny participating in various club activities and
socializing at school.
In Angela’s previous life, Fanny easily took the spot from her. Without any strong
competitors, she studied peacefully for several months before winning first prize.
