Serve No One This Life

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! | was genuinely concerned about you,” Angela nervously clenched her hand and lowered her gaze, saying softly, “And besides, | 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.

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 | do, Mrs. Lindon? | 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 | wear are all hand-me- downs from my sister, and even this backpack was something she didn’t want anymore before | 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 | had such an amazing granddaughter, | would definitely spoil her like a precious gem. | 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. | 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, | 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?”
