Chapter 402 Please Addressas Mrs Lawson From the shadows, a man beckoned to a thug, who said to Joseph, “It's 12,000.” Joseph's brow furrowed, ready to respond, when George interjected, “H- How did it balloon to 12,000?" The thug’s threatening stance made Joseph step in, halting George and informing the thug, “I don’t have that much onright now.” Upon entering, Joseph sized up the basement scene. The shadowy figure of authority seemed disinterested in conversation. Regarding George's debt, Joseph deemed the negotiation futile.

The thug seemed content with Joseph’s response, sharing a look with the shadowy figure, who cautioned, “Deliver it tomorrow, or suffer the consequences.” Joseph exhaled in relief, agreeing. After reaching an agreement, Joseph took George and headed for the exit.

Although covered in bruises from the beating, George was aware that he had to leave this place immediately.

They swiftly departed, and Joseph escorted George home.

Upon arrival, Joseph promptly contacted James, the only family member. capable of producing 12,000 at short notice. After all, he was the one in charge of their family business now.

After briefing James on George's plight, Joseph felt drained. As he left the room, he noticed George struggling to make a call with his phone.

Joseph had even gone as far as buying a plane ticket and escorting him to the airport to ensure his return.

However, he had to leave at the last minute before George boarded the flight because he received news of Zacharias being rescued in the ER.

George retorted, “It’s none of your business.” Unable to reach Joey, George slumped on the couch in frustration, wincing in pain. His frustration at being duped by Joey was palpable.

Joseph's tone turned cold as he said, “Pack your things. I'll take you to the airport.” This time, he was determined to see him off on the plane.

Though resentful, George held his tongue, mindful of the casino’s enforcers.

Acknowledging Joseph's pivotal role in raising the 12,000, whether through James or another source, George reluctantly admitted Joseph's indispensability.

Meanwhile, Angela reveled in tranquility as Jonathan departed for work. She read a book and decided to stay home.

Unexpectedly, a visitor arrived. Oliver mentioned Florence waiting outside, sparking Angela's surprise. Did Florence seek Jonathan here after failing to locate him? Descending the stairs, Angela found Florence at the gate, presenting a more professional demeanor than usual.

“Miss Angela, may we speak 2/5 today?” Despite Florence's usual boldness, Angela frowned at her abrupt visit. Nonetheless, she permitted Florence entry for a discussion since she didn’t bring her men with her.

“Miss Shelton, | can’t turn you away when you cin person.” With that, Oliver ushered Florence inside.

“Thank you, Miss Kins.” Angela offered no reply and led her in. After they were seated on the couches, Angela inquired about the purpose of her visit.

As this wasn’t the first tFlorence sought her out, she wanted to get straight to the point with her.

Florence’s smirk exuded confidence. “I have my sights on Mr. Lawson. Will you step aside?” Angela's frown deepened at Florence's deliberate provocation. “Oliver, show our guest out,” she ordered icily, retreating upstairs without another word.

Surprised by Angela’s abrupt dismissal, Florence attempted to follow, but Oliver blocked her path. “Miss Shelton, please.” As though expecting Florence's quick dismissal, he didn’t even close the door after she entered.

Florence stomped her feet in anger and teller after Angela, questioning her way of treating a guest.

Angela stopped at the top of the staircase and replied, “You're not a guest, and please addressas Mrs.

Lawson.” Then, she left Florence no chance of further conversation and went upstairs.

3/5 Chapter 402 Please Addressas Mrs Lawson +5 Free C Oliver showed no hesitation in dealing with Florence and dragged her out. Forced to leave, Florence stomped away in frustration, her anger rising.

Oliver wasted no tclosing the door, offering Florence a final warning, “Don’t underestimate Mrs. Lawson.” A nearby bodyguard observed Florence's exit, eager to intervene. “Miss, she treated you poorly-" Florence silenced him with a raised hand, demanding, “How's progress with Jonathan's company?” “We've yet to secure a meeting,” the bodyguard admitted in a hushed tone.

Florence cursed in frustration. “Still nothing? Are you incompetent?” Even if Jonathan was avoiding her, it made her mad that even her subordinates couldn't secure a meeting with him.

“Maybe Mr. Lawson has a tight schedule. Why don’t we strike on Angela Kins instead?” her bodyguard suggested. Worried that Florence would get even angrier, he hastily brought up Angela.

It was Angela who made Florence mad, but he didn’t want to be the one suffering the burn of Florence's fury.

Sure enough, Florence redirected her anger at Angela again. As she couldn't meet Jonathan, she tried to make a way through Angela instead, trying to have a talk with her on multiple occasions.

Finally, she had her chance today, but Angela had the nerve to drive her out after she had only said one thing! Recalling Angela telling her to address her as Mrs. Lawson, Florence gritted her teeth in anger. Wasn't Angela afraid of what Florence could do with her status as the heiress of the Shelton Family? 4/5 No one dared to oppose them in Northland! “How do | strike when | can’t even see her?” She glared at her bodyguard.

When the bodyguard suggested breaking in, Florence scoffed, opting to confront Angela outside her class instead.

Florence knew that Angela was going to Northland Medical University and assumed that she was a student there.

Hence, the idea to confront her outside her class.

“Class?” The bodyguard hesitated. “I don’t think she attends Northland Medical University.” Annoyed, Florence snapped, “Investigate her!” So, the reason she couldn't negotiate with Angela so many times prior was that they hadn't investigated her yet.

At the thought of her subordinates’ inefficiency, Florence felt her head throbbing.

But there was still tto investigate Angela, and Florence resolved to uncover Angela's identity, besides claiming to be Mrs. Lawson.

Her subordinates wasted no tin carrying out her order while she pondered how she could meet Jonathan.

Recalling Christopher, previously targeted by her men, Florence considered him a potential avenue for Jonathan.
