SWNOVELS Chapter 461
Chapter 461 They Were Not Together
spite of two cars trailing behind, the lead car maintained its speed unaffected.
Soon after, Jonathan's pair of vehicles pulled up outside the company building.
Florence instructed the driver to park nearby, while James positioned his car adjacent to Florence's.
Unbeknownst to him, James had been tailing Florence's car, mistaking it for Jonathan's.
Therefore, when he parked, he assumed the occupants exiting the vehicle were Jonathan's associates.
His aim was to find Angela, intending to explain his motives directly to whoever emerged.
However, upon seeing the person exiting the car, he was momentarily taken aback. "Miss Florence Shelton?"
James had been briefed about Florence by Hugh beforehand, and he had also gained insights into the achievements of the Shelton Family from a friend before his arrival in Northland. He knew Florence, recognized as the lady of the Shelton Family, had assumed the role of heir to the family.
Thus, even though they hadn't formally met, he had glimpsed her photograph in the newspaper provided by his friend.
As someone acknowledged her presence, Florence casually turned her head, seemingly. indifferent to James.
Despite being informed by her companions in the car that they were being trailed, Florence remained unperturbed.
She was confident that no one would dare to challenge her in Northland for the time being.
In a moment of inadvertence, James spoke up, only to swiftly realize his mistake. Initially contemplating avoiding Florence, he discovered her superior skill in ignoring others.
Because at that moment, she was already making her way toward Jonathan and his companions.
Without hesitation, he followed suit.
He needed to meet Angela today, as he needed to identify who was pressuring the police station and hindering his efforts to secure Joseph's release on bail.

While Florence paid no attention to the discreet tail following her, those around her were
len. One individual promptly stepped forward and blocked James' path.
"Who are you? Why are you following Miss Shelton?" the individual questioned.
Observing James in formal attire but alone in the car with no other occupants, the individual became less guarded.
Upon recognizing Florence, James felt a twinge of apprehension and instinctively opted to candidly reveal his intentions.
With a positive demeanor, he explained his purpose to the individual. In response, the person simply stated, "You wait back here for now."
James didn't dare to protest. Observing his compliance, the individual swiftly turned and
caught up with Florence and the others. Subsequently, he briefed the leader on James intentions.
"Is he seeking Jonathan too?" Florence casually inquired after being informed.
With two cars, Jonathan's group hurriedly entered the company building as if escaping a flood or a wild animal.
Florence's car wasn't parked nearby, and she was detained outside the building after a brief pursuit.
She hadn't anticipated losing them and was now feeling frustrated.
Furthermore, she couldn't help but speculate whether Jonathan's apparent lack of awareness of their presence was a result of her team's exceptional tracking skills, or if Jonathan was deliberately feigning ignorance to lose them.
Despite her team's earlier exchange of pleasantries with the receptionist, they were met with the same composed demeanor in response. Nevertheless, they remained waiting in the downstairs reception lobby.
Upon inquiry, her subordinate promptly responded, "Well, sounds like it. He mentioned that he was here to see Angela."
"Angela?" Florence repeated the name with a disapproving tone, recalling the incident where Angela had turned her away at the door, solidifying her negative opinion of her.
Moreover, Angela was her rival.
Even though Florence hadn't yet plotted any harm against Angela, it was also implausible for her to treat Angela overly kindly.

Did he mention anything else?" Florence asked casually while awaiting further details from Jonathan's group.
"No, Miss Shelton. But don't worry, I told him to wait behind us," reassured her subordinate.
Florence impatiently clapped her hands. "Bring him here," she demanded.
In Florence's opinion, even though they weren't together, that man might still be useful.
She thought to herself, he's here for Angela and she is willing to meet him, then there might be a chance for me to meet Jonathan. And since he recognizes me and obediently follows my team's orders, he surely wouldn't refuse my request. Upon receiving Florence's instructions, her subordinate hurried to fetch James.
When James was called, his expression was somewhat complex.
"Miss Shelton, is there something you need from me?" he asked.
Florence lazily glanced at him before inquiring, "Why are you seeking Angela?
Will she agree to meet you?"
She didn't want to waste time on small talk, as her time was valuable.
"I need to discuss something with her." James replied, his face slightly tense.
He hadn't expected to encounter Florence right after hearing about her from Hugh. What a coincidence.
"Can you guarantee she'll agree to see you?" Florence questioned.
James promptly replied. "I'm Angela's brother. If I show up, she should be willing
to meet
1. me.
In truth, he wasn't entirely sure of his statement, but under Florence's suspicious gaze, he blurted out the bold claim without much thought.
Immediately after speaking, he regretted his words and wished to retract them. However, before he could, Florence clapped her hands and exclaimed, "So you indeed are Angela's brother?"

"Yes, indeed." James felt a prickling sensation on his scalp but chose to remain
silent.

I'll go with you. You go and inform the receptionist," Florence urged, nudging James toward the front desk without waiting for his response.
Confused, James complied with the instructions and approached the receptionist.

The current receptionists at Jonathan's company were not the same individuals as before they had been replaced by bolder personnel.
Additionally, there were security personnel stationed in the hall at all
times, which actually bolstered her confidence a bit more. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

Upon hearing Angela referred to as "Mrs. Lawson," James subtly frowned. However, remembering his need to speak with Angela, he obediently took a seat on the side.
James refrained from getting too close to Florence, recalling Hugh's warning about her past actions-after Fanny was taken away by Jane, she was taken over
by Florence. Even though Fanny had returned, Florence was still not to be underestimated. Two groups of people waited downstairs, each with their own thoughts.
