novelxo Chapter 4
Angela's eyes widened. Jonathan believed that she was doing this to please him
so he would put in a good word for her with Christopher. “I didn’t! I was genuinely
concerned about you,” Angela nervously clenched her hand and lowered her
gaze, saying softly, “And besides, I no longer have feelings for Christopher.”
Whether it was the Kins Family or Christopher, she was done being their puppet.
After saying that, Angela turned around and left. Watching her walk away,
Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows slightly, his gaze becoming even more
intense...
On the day of her discharge, a Santana stopped at the hospital entrance. It was
the Kins Family who came to pick up Fanny from the hospital. James politely
opened the car door for Fanny while Zacharias followed behind, carrying her
bags and packages. The three of them got into the car, chatting and laughing.
The car sped away without anyone noticing Angela's presence. Angela chuckled
lightly, not feeling disappointed at all. She suddenly wanted to escape from that
family. No matter how wealthy the Kins Family was, she had no connection with
them. In their eyes, she was just a clown. The butt of their jokes. The Kins Family
lived behind the employee housing area of the garment factory in a three-story
house with unique decorations. It was the most beautiful sight in the housing
area. When George resigned from his government job and became one of the
first people to start a business, it must be said that George made the right choice.
Over the years, he had made a fortune by running a clothing company and
became the envy of everyone in the housing area. It was working hours now, and
there were only a few elderly men playing chess in the housing area, as well as a
few middle-aged women sitting under the trees, fanning themselves and
gossiping. Seeing Angela return with a canvas bag on her back, they weren't too
surprised, as if they had long been accustomed to it. But as usual, they couldn't
help but ask out of curiosity. “Angela, why did you come back by yourself? James
and Zacharias went to pick up your sister early in the morning.
Why didn't they bring you back together?” When the talk turned to cars, Mrs.
Lindon’s eyes revealed a hint of envy. The Kins Family's wealth and power were
recognized by everyone in the housing area. In the entire housing area, there
was no one who didn’t envy them. Mrs. Lindon was known as the gossip queen
of the housing area, meddling in everyone's business. She knows all the
scandals and gossip going around in the neighborhood. Whether it was petty
theft, mischievous pranks, or outright affairs, she knew everything. Mrs.
Lindon seemed to be very “concerned’ about their family's affairs, just like she
used to be. Angela used to cover for the Kins Family, claiming that she had car
sickness and would vomit every time she went into the car. Walking was better.
However, this time, Angela didn't plan on hiding or pleasing the Kins Family
anymore. There was no need to lie. “I actually wanted to take the car back, but
my sister thinks I'm dirty and won't let me in. What can I do, Mrs. Lindon? I live in
the storage room at home, and it smells really bad in there. It's so uncomfortable,
especially in this hot weather.” As Angela spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She
sniffed and continued, “I can’t even eat at the table until my sister finishes her
meal. The clothes I wear are all hand-me-downs from my sister, and even this
backpack was something she didn’t want anymore before I could use it.”
The group of women sighed and expressed sympathy for Angela. The Kins
Family, being so wealthy, was surprisingly stingy. They treated their own daughter
like a maid while spoiling their adopted daughter. It was really unfair! It turned out
their kindness towards their biological daughter was all just a facade. They
treated their adopted daughter like a treasure and their own daughter like dirt.
Only the Kins Family could do such a thing. “Don’t cry, my dear. Look at what our
family has done. If I had such an amazing granddaughter, I would definitely spoil
her like a precious gem. I can't understand what they're thinking.” “They may
seem nice to you most of the time, but it turns out it's all a facade. I can’t believe
the Kins Family, with all their wealth, would be so stingy towards their own
daughter. It's really too much!” As Angela listened to these words, a hint of
satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
This was exactly the outcome she had hoped for. It wouldn't be long before this
news spreads throughout the entire compound. Let's see how long they can keep
up the pretense. “Ladies, I have to go back and cook now. If I'm late, my parents
and brothers will scold me again.” This statement was true. Angela's cooking
skills were highly regarded by the Kins Family. She didn’t know when it started,
but in addition to school, she had to prepare three meals a day. It was because
Fanny never ate the meals made by the housekeeper, so Angela had to work late
into the night and wake up before dawn to cook for the family. But she didn’t plan
on serving them anymore. Mrs. Lindon was a little puzzled and couldn't help but
ask curiously, “Didn't the Kins Family hire a housekeeper? Why do they still need
you to come home and cook?”
