Chapter 157 Look More Sophisticated
After finishing lunch in the cafeteria, Angela headed to a nearby courier service point to send the
camera to a school in a mountainous area.
She had recently read a report about volunteer teachers in the newspaper and was inspired to
pture the innocent smiles of the children.
This camera would come in handy for that purpose.
So, she mailed it along with the following details: Sender – Riverdon University, Stella Johnston.
With a wry smile, Angela considered this as Stella doing a good deed.
Later that afternoon, upon returning to the university, she heard rumors about Stella taking a leave of
absence. However, when questioned about why the latter’s face had turned green, the embarrassed
Stella remained silent and didn’t provide any explanation.
When she stepped into the classroom, Angela received a message from Cassie.
Hey Angela, where’d you go? Have you checked the forum? What’s the deal with Stella? It’s bizarre
but kind of intriguing. If I could turn my face green like that, I’d haunt the woods every night to spook
people.
Angela couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head when she saw the message. Cassie, your
imagination knows no bounds, and your bravery is admirable.
Meanwhile, Stella was pouring her heart out to Fanny by confiding in her about what happened.
Fanny looked at her friend’s troubled expression and said sympathetically, “Stella, I’m sorry. It’s all
because of Angela that you’re going through this.”
“Fanny, Angela is just too audacious! How can there be such audacious people in the university?”
Stella glanced around, then continued, “She even took my brand–new camera! It was fresh of the box!
Now that the camera’s gone, and I don’t know when my face will heal, what am I going to do?”
Fanny’s hand gently rested on Stella’s arm and said soothingly, “Stella, it’s okay. We’ll go shopping
together this weekend and get you a new one.”

Stella’s eyes lit up as she refused. “Fanny… I don’t think that’s a good idea. I can’t accept gifts. from
you.”
“Come on, it’s no big deal. We’re friends. You’ve had my back, so it’s only fair for me to do something
for you.”
Stella smiled. “Fanny, I know you truly value our friendship.”
Fanny lowered her head to take a sip of her tea, and a hint of frustration and disappointment flickering
in her eyes.
She had thought Stella might do something significant, but she didn’t expect to be fooled by Angela
repeatedly.
What a moron, Fanny cursed inwardly.
Although the news from newspapers and forums had been taken down, word had already spread
among those who needed to know. Over the past few days, she’d been bombarded with calls about the
matter.
Skipping school became inevitable, with Christopher advising her to take a break before returning to
class and helping her secure a leave of absence.
This time, it wasn’t just Britney who showed up, but also the frail Jonathan who couldn’t even walk.
After a bit of digging, she discovered that Britney’s main reason for coming was to tend to Jonathan.
The medical facilities in Riverdon were top–notch, and they happened to be at the hospital where
Joseph worked.
The attending physician happened to be a colleague of Joseph’s.
While brushing off Stella. Fanny pondered how to get rid of Britney’s presence.
Since Britney’s here to care for Jonathan, well… if he were to pass away, Britney wouldn’t have any
reason to stick around, right?
Fanny lowered her gaze while gripping the teacup firmly. Her eyes showed a mix of hesitation and a
touch of darkness.
Suddenly, the new phone that Scarlet had just given her rang above the dressing table.
It was Christopher calling.

She adjusted her expression in the mirror and answered the phone with an unusually soft
“Christopher.”
“Fanny, today is the Sanders Family’s family banquet, so I’ll come pick you up.”
“Family banquet?“.
The fifteenth of every month was the Sanders Family’s family banquet, a fact that Fanny had nearly
forgotten. She smiled. “Alright, Christopher, I’ll be waiting for you at home.”
“Oh, before I forget… Christopher hesitated for a moment, then added mysteriously. “Just a heads up,
my mom will be joining us today. It’s your chance to make a good impression and maybe change my
dad’s opinion of you.”
Christopher’s mother…
Fanny’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with amusement evident in her voice. “Got it. I’ll make
sure to be on my best behavior and not let you down.”
Christopher’s mother is Teresa Webb.
Although they hadn’t met, Fanny knew about the chilly reception Teresa received in the Sanders
Family, and Christopher rarely spoke about her.
If she was attending tonight, it wasn’t just a casual gathering. They probably wanted to introduce her to
the entire Sanders Family, wasn’t it?
Fanny smirked and headed to her wardrobe.
Tonight, all eyes will be on me!
After finishing school. Angela didn’t see Oliver but spotted Jonathan’s car instead.
She hurried over, got in, and looked at the distinguished man with excitement. “Jonathan, why are you
picking me up today?”
“Well, my grandfather called and invited us for dinner.”
“Back to the Sanders Family?” Angela blinked, then glanced down at her blue and white school
uniform. “Jonathan, should we go back and change first?”

He glanced sideways at her as she tidied her ouch of elegance.
1. up. After a few adjustments, she quickly transformed from a schoolgirl to a young lady with a touch
of elegance.
Looking at herself in the rearview mirror, Angela glanced from side to side and smiled satisfactorily. “Do
I look more grown–up now?”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “Are you saying I’m old?”
Angela widened her eyes and quickly waved her hands. “No, Jonathan, you’re in your prime. I just
thought I’d dress up a bit so that I look more sophisticated.”
“Something’s missing.”
After a quick scan, Jonathan reached out and tapped the back of the driver’s seat, bring out the box
from the glove compartment.”
“Come here.” He motioned for Angela to come closer, and he placed the necklace around her ivory–
skinned neck.
The pink gemstone against her fair skin made her neck look even more slender and alluring. giving her
a mature charm.
Angela touched the gemstone and asked softly, “Is it very expensive?”
Jonathan nodded. “It was a gift from the brand, worth 990,000.”
Angela’s eyes widened in surprise. She quickly covered the necklace with her hand. “I’ll make sure to
cherish it, and it’ll always be with me.”
Jonathan pursed his lips. There was no need for such formality.
The car smoothly pulled up to the Sanders Family mansion.
It was Angela’s first time entering the Sanders Family mansion as Jonathan’s wife.
Several cars she couldn’t name were parked in the yard, and ahead was the main building.

Angela followed Jonathan as they walked in. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
In the living rooms on the first floor.
Both Old Mr. Sanders and Michael were present.
There was another woman who left a lasting impression on Angela. She wore a black dinner gown
adorned with a blue sapphire necklace around her neck, and her hair was elegantly styled.
Her facial features exuded the gentle and bright charm typical of a woman hailing from Riverdon.
The woman’s
gaze briefly met Angela’s, and she almost immediately recognized her.
She was Christopher’s mother, Teresa Webb.
In her previous life, when she was infatuated with Christopher, Angela had thought about winning
Teresa’s favor.
However, Teresa rarely visited the mansion and resided outside with Michael most of the
time.
So, the opportunity never arose.
Angela found it somewhat ironic because she never expected to meet Teresa under these
circumstances today.
