Chapter 21 Dropping The Case?
“Next time, think before you act!” James furrowed his brow. He had put aside all his work for a day to find Angela early in the morning, for the sake of his younger brother. When the police presented the surveillance video evidence and made the arrests, he couldn’t find a single word to refute it. His mind went blank. He had arrogantly stormed into the house, breaking things, and everything was captured on
Camer
Samuel had always respected James, but now that he was being scolded, although he didn’t dare to argue back, he couldn’t help feeling resentful. He defended himself, “Angela took Fanny’s place and even bullied her until she fainted. If I don’t stand up for Fanny, then…”
“You still have the nerve to argue? Shut up!”
Samuel’s face filled with frustration as he tightly pursed his lips.
This trivial matter was giving James a headache. He furrowed his brow and said, “You’re even standing up for Fanny. Fanny knows that you’re worried about her, and she hasn’t even had breakfast.”
Samuel was startled. “Fanny fainted yesterday. How can she not eat?”
“And whose fault is that?” James gave him a cold glance, but in his heart, he also blamed Angela. She had. gone too far with what she did. One brother was sent to the police station by her own hands, and the other sister was so worried that she fell ill. The two sisters were like night and day. Angela was so willful and malicious, so it was no wonder they all doted on Fanny even more.
On the other side, Angela followed Captain Larson and Logan into a small room.
After entering. Logan smiled and said, “Angela, I heard about what happened between you and Samuel. Samuel was a bit too extreme; he lost control of his temper and didn’t hold back. He knows he did something wrong. Whatever losses you suffered, James will take care of it and compensate you twice as much. You two are just like children. How did a sibling conflict end up in the police station? It’s putting a strain on your relationship. Won’t your parents be heartbroken if they see this?”
After hearing this, Angela smiled faintly, “I won’t accept any compensation. According to the law, we’ll handle it accordingly.”
Logan raised an eyebrow unexpectedly, “Angela, don’t joke around.”
Angela lowered her gaze and said softly, “Logan, you were the one who made the joke first.”
Grandma had already passed away, and everything had been destroyed. How could they compensate for that? Can they afford it?
Moreover, she didn’t want compensation; she just wanted an apology from Samuel. Apologize to her deceased grandmother.
Logan was also annoyed. “You child, why are you so unreasonable? Is it necessary to make such a big scene? It’s just making a spectacle of yourself!”
Captain Larson glanced at Angela and extinguished the cigarette in his hand, “Girl, Logan has a point. You may feel relieved now, but even if Samuel is arrested, he won’t be detained for long. It won’t benefit you to escalate the situation. You have already received compensation, so it’s better to compromise.”

Upon hearing Captain Larson’s words, Logan smiled and added, “Provoking the Kins Family will not benefit you, Angela. You’re still young, and you will rely on the Kins Family in the future. If you continue to cause trouble alone, you will eventually have to submit.”
Listening to the threatening words, Angela’s fingers holding her backpack turned slightly pale, her face looked unpleasant, and her gaze was sharp as she stared at them.
Suddenly, the sound of rolling wheels came from the entrance, and everyone’s eyes turned towards the door. Although the man was sitting in a wheelchair, his cold and noble demeanor seemed to emanate naturally from his bones, exuding a captivating aura. His well–tailored suit was perfectly ironed, accentuating his slender figure.
From a distance, Angela’s gaze met his, and her heart skipped a beat.
Logan, the representative lawyer for the Kins Family, had previously interacted with the Sanderses due to the engagement between the two families. Naturally, he was acquainted with Jonathan, the person in power in the Sanderses. “Hello, Jonathan. What a coincidence to run into you here,” Logan greeted respectfully.
Jonathan tilted his head slightly and smirked. “Do I know you?” Then he raised his hand and beckoned to Angela, saying, “Come here.”
Angela blinked and walked over to Jonathan’s side.
Sebastian had heard that Angela had been arrested and was extremely worried. He immediately asked, “Angela, are you okay? What happened to your wrist? Did they hurt you?”
“No.” Angela glanced at the red marks on her wrist and didn’t want Sebastian to worry. She smiled and said, I’m fine, Sebastian.” She was a bit nervous. She hadn’t expected Jonathan to show up. She had sent a text message to Jessica, deliberately stating that she had been arrested by the police, asking her to seek help from Sebastian.
Among the people she knew, only Jonathan had the power to influence James and the Kins Family. But Jonathan was busy with important matters, and Angela could only think of Sebastian. However, she was just testing the waters, hoping that Sebastian would appreciate her efforts in dealing with Jonathan….
Seeing the girl’s nervousness and unease, Jonathan’s heart softened. “Sebastian mentioned that there was a thief in your house and a lot of things were destroyed. Did the police thoroughly investigate it?”
“They asked me to drop the case… to withdraw the report,” Angela quickly replied.
Jonathan furrowed his brows slightly, looking at Logan and the police.
Logan and Captain Larson felt anxious under his gaze and immediately wanted to refute, saying that it wasn’t true. But when the words reached their lips, Logan hesitated and realized that he couldn’t explain it clearly.
In the end, Logan could only explain with a forced smile, “Jonathan, you misunderstood. It wasn’t a thief, but rather a conflict between Angela and Samuel, her brother. You probably know that Samuel has a bad temper and doesn’t hold back…”
Jonathan remained calm and only asked Angela, “Do you want to drop the case?”
Angela pursed her lips and shook her head decisively. “I won’t drop the case.”

“Angela!” James quickly walked in, his face stern as he glared at Angela. “What nonsense are you telling Jonathan?” After scolding Angela, James smiled and looked at Jonathan, apologizing, Jonathan, why did you come here? My sister and Samuel had a little disagreement. It’s just a sibling quarrel, and you know, there’s no real animosity between siblings.” At the same time, James also felt somewhat regretful. Jonathan usually kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public. How did he happen to encounter this situation with Angela
After listening, Jonathan simply said, “I understand.” There was no emotion in his tone, and he remained expressionless, making it difficult to discern his thoughts. He beckoned to Sebastian, who respectfully leaned over and had a brief conversation before leaving.
Jonathan pushed his wheelchair himself and turned back, saying in a low voice, “Aren’t you leaving?”
Jonathan, do you have something to discuss with Angela?” James asked.
Jonathan’s expression was indifferent. “Mr. Kins, this is a personal matter.” In other words, he had nothing to disclose.
Only then did Angela realize that Jonathan was helping her out of the situation. She quickly went up to help him push the wheelchair, and the two of them walked out of the police station together.
James frowned, his gaze shifting between Jonathan and Angela’s figures. In the end, he swallowed his
protest.
Samuel stared with wide eyes, watching Angela leave with Jonathan. “James, how did she get to know Jonathan?”
