Chapter 42 The Speech Competition
“You!” Bruce was extremely upset. If it weren’t for Jonathan’s poor health, he would have liked to give
him a firm pat on the shoulder, just like Terence did when he was displeased.
His grandson, who lost his mother at a young age and had such a blood–sucking family, had struggled
so hard from childhood to adulthood, and it broke his heart to see it.
If he didn’t take better care of him, how could he answer to his daughter?
Looking at Jonathan’s cold eyes, the old man’s anger faded instantly, and he gave in with a good
temper. “Alright, if you don’t like Angela, you can find someone else. But how could you say that you
won’t get married! If your mother were…”
At this point, Bruce’s face showed a hint of sadness and reluctance, and he finally waved his hand.
Take your medicine. I’m leaving now.”
Before leaving, he swiftly grabbed the prescription Angela had left on the table, carefully folded it, and
put it in the pocket of his suit.
Terence had been treating Jonathan for a year or two without much success, but now, a young doctor
had surpassed him. He wanted to take this prescription and show it to him just to annoy him. If Angela
couldn’t become his granddaughter–in–law, she could be his god–granddaughter!
For some reason, he liked Angela the moment he saw her, and his fondness for her grew with every
word they exchanged.
Angela and Bruce left one after another, and the villa quickly returned to its usual silence. Jonathan
stared at the birds flying away outside the window for a long time, motionless.
The end of autumn was approaching, and the migratory birds were flying in the gray sky for a while
before they left one after another.
Sebastian followed his gaze and didn’t know what he was looking at, but his heart still ached. Jonathan
was not just avoiding marriage. He had previously not even planned to live for a few more years.
He had been so sick before, barely sleeping an hour or two a day. How could he have any
expectations for
the future?
“Mr. Lawson, Old Mr. Lawson cares about you, so don’t take it to heart.”
“I know,” Jonathan closed his eyes, then opened them again, no longer looking out the window.
“Sebastian, bring me the medicinal meal.”
Sebastian nodded and went to get the medicinal meal Angela had brought, sighing helplessly. Well,
there’s still a long way to go. One step at a time. Maybe, just as Angela said, the future will be full of
hope.
After all, after taking Angela’s medicine, Jonathan was getting better, so he could be cured!
After delivering this medicinal meal, Angela delivered a few more times, but Jonathan seemed to be
busy. A few times when he was at the company, she could only wait outside the villa for Sebastian to
come back and take it over.

ic reason, she felt that Jonathan was intentionally keeping his distance from her. Once, when she went
to see him, he didn’t even speak to her, and as soon as he saw her, he went back to his room to work.
Angela felt a sense of indescribable loss but quickly adjusted her mood. Because the milk tea shop’s
business was gradually improving, she made a considerable income from it, so her attention gradually
shifted to the shop.
The days passed by, and the leaves on the trees turned from golden to a dry, caramel color. Angela
swapped her short–sleeved dress for a long white shirt and light blue jeans.
She pulled her hair up in a high ponytail, looking very energetic. Her clean little face, like that of an
clusive fairy, was unforgettable, and as she walked on campus, many people frequently looked at her.
The Brundelian speech competition was about to start, and she was rushing to cheer for Jessica to
defeat Fanny
“Angela” From a distance, Jessica saw Angela and jumped up excitedly, waving at her.
Angela ran over. “Jess, are you nervous?”
Jessica shook her head, smiling. “With you here, I don’t feel nervous at all. Just wait and see how I
outperform Fanny!”
Seeing her confident expression, Angela relaxed, but suddenly, a sneer came from behind them.
“Outperform Fanny? That’s quite a boast!”
They turned around and saw Fanny and her friend, Stella Johnston. Stella’s family was also wealthy,
and as an only child, she had developed a slightly arrogant demeanor. Few students dared to
challenge her.
Fanny pulled at Stella’s sleeve. “Stella, Jessica is an excellent student. She’s often the top student in
our class, so she can afford to make such statements.”
“Fanny, no matter how talented she is, she shouldn’t be so arrogant. Remember, there’s always
someone better out there!” Stella sneered, her gaze towards Angela and Jessica turning colder.
She and Jessica had always been at odds. Both came from affluent families, but Jessica was more
attractive and popular. Stella once overheard two classmates comparing her to Jessica, saying that she
was inferior. Since then, she held a grudge against Jessica.
On the other hand, there was Angela, who used to be timid and unnoticed. Now, more and more
people were praising her beauty.
How could a person change so much? Did she undergo plastic surgery? Stella wondered.
Angela raised her dark, beautiful eyes, staring at the two of them without blinking. “Yeah, being in first
place is amazing. The feeling of being on top is even sweeter. Wait until you guys achieve first place,
then come and argue with us.”
She knew better than anyone how hard Jessica had prepared for this competition, while she had seen
Fanny participating in various club activities and socializing at school.
In Angela’s previous life, Fanny easily took the spot from her. Without any strong competitors, she
studied peacefully for several months before winning first prize.

In this life, she spent 3,500 on the spot but spent all her time playing. Now, with Jess as a competitor.
Angela was curious if Fanny could even secure third place.
With a strong dislike for Stella, Jessica snapped, “Yes, there’s always someone better. Unlike some
who only see one person and think she’s the best.”

Jessica Turner, you- Stella was about to angrily retort but was held back by Fanny.
“Stella, the competition is about to start. We shouldn’t start a fight.”
Stella was seething with anger, but considering Fanny’s upcoming competition, she had to suppress
her rage and shot a fierce glance at Jessica before leaving with Fanny. As she walked away, her anger
intensified. “How dare Jessica compete against you for first place!”
Fanny cast her eyes downward, appearing somewhat upset. “Jessica is truly talented, Stella. I’m a bit
nervous. If I don’t win, how can I face James after he has invested so much in me?”
The thought of Fanny crying filled Stella with distress. Fanny, such a genuine and kind–hearted
person,

No way. Jessica Turner cannot win!
