Chapter 83 Jonathan Is More Fearsome

Jonathan, more fearsome than any demon, always prioritized the family’s honor and interests, even if it

meant sacrificing a few individuals.

Maintaining connections with the Sanders Family meant the engagement couldn’t be called

off.

Upon hearing this, Zacharias‘ handsome face darkened. Joseph considered things more

comprehensively and took the overall situation into account.

Joseph reassured him, “Alright, don’t fret. Head to the office, and I’ll check on you later. Why have you

been coughing so severely lately?”

He recalled that although Zacharias had coughed before, it hadn’t been this severe.

Joseph furrowed his brow. “How are the servants attending to you? If it’s not satisfactory, I’ll make a

change and find someone more attentive.”

Zacharias had always been frail, with a weak heart and a history of various illnesses since childhood.

There were even times when he was on the verge of death, and it caused his parents countless

sleepless nights.

In recent years, his health had somewhat improved thanks to careful adjustments.

Zacharias waved his hand dismissively. “It’s not because of the servants. Before, Angela took charge

of my diet. She cooked medicinal meals every day. But after Angela left, the medicinal meals stopped.

When I asked the kitchen staff, I found out Angela personally made them…”

He paused, feeling a twinge of unease.

Whenever Angela brought him those medicinal meals, he’d get annoyed. She not only insisted he eat

them daily but also pestered him with reminders. Her demeanor was almost like an old lady.

Often, it was only with Fanny’s reassurance that he managed to finish his meal.

So, he warned Angela to stay out of his room, and Fanny began delivering the nightly medicinal meals

instead.

Gradually, he began to credit Fanny for the meals and forgot they were made by Angela.

For a moment, a mix of emotions flickered in Zacharias‘ dark eyes.

On the first floor of the hospital, near the elevator, was Christopher holding Fanny’s hand. They

stepped out of the elevator, only to be surprised by the sight of a man in a wheelchair waiting at the

entrance.

Jonathan’s cool gaze met Christopher’s, then shifted to Fanny beside him.

In Jonathan’s presence, Christopher always felt a palpable tension, and his breaths became.

harder.

He immediately straightened his back, respectfully nodded, and took the initiative to greet,

“Mr. Lawson.”

Then he squeezed Fanny’s hand and nervously said, “This is Fanny. Fanny, meet Mr. Lawson.”

For the first time, Christopher introduced Fanny as his fiancée to the Sanders Family.

Fanny instinctively composed herself and offered a graceful smile as she greeted, “Mr. Lawson.”

She couldn’t help but wonder why Christopher showed such deference to Jonathan, even more than to

his father, Michael.

Although Jonathan is in power now, he is crippled and sick. He’s dying, right? The future of the

Sanders and Lawson Families rests with Christopher! Fanny mused.

Nevertheless, gratitude was owed. Jonathan had tirelessly assisted Christopher in managing the

company.

Jonathan glanced away, his demeanor indifferent. “Once Miss Fanny becomes part of the Sander

family, then you can call me ‘Mr. Lawson. Your father addresses me as Mr. Lawson, and you want to

call me Lawson? Is that appropriate?”

His voice, deep and resonant, carried a hint of disdain

Fanny was taken aback, and her face paled. She was already engaged to Christopher, yet. Jonathan

was showing such disrespect.

Fanny nervously bit her lip, unsure how to address him. If her father called him Mr. Lawson, what

should she call him? Jonathan was intentionally causing trouble for her.

Meanwhile, Jonathan appeared oblivious as his black coat accentuated his cold and aloof demeanor.

“Mr. Lawson, Fanny is just shy. If you have any grievances, take them up with me. It was my decision

to marry her, Christopher quickly interjected upon seeing, Fanny being harassed. “And I’ve already

apologized to Angela

Jonathan spoke again, “Alright, go home and kneel in front of the ancestral hall for three hours. Inform

your Grandfather about what I said”

Christopher’s expression tightened, and his jaw clenched as he reluctantly agreed,

Fanny was stunned, and her eyes widened in disbelief. She retorted icily, “Who do you think you are,

Jonathan, from another father? What gives you the right to punish Christopher? What did he do

wrong?”

Jonathan’s gaze remained unwavering, “Make it four hours”

“Are you out of your mind?”

“Fanny, enough!” Christopher’s voice was sharp as he scolded her sternly. “You’re not allowed to speak

to him like that.”

Fanny’s face turned pale again, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Why was Christopher being so harsh on her? She was only trying to help him!

Seeing her distressed state, Christopher softened a bit. He turned away from her and addressed

Jonathan, “Mr. Lawson, Fanny is young and inexperienced. Please don’t blame her.”

Jonathan’s voice was cold as he responded, “When have you seen me lose my temper over trivial

matters? When I’m discussing matters with Christopher, it’s not your place, as an outsider, to interfere

in the Sanders Family’s affairs.”

Fanny clenched her fists. The earlier joy had evaporated from her face.

Remembering past encounters, Christopher dared not speak and only offered a sympathetic glance to

Fanny.

Then, a single sentence from Jonathan drained all color from Fanny’s face, replacing it with fear.

“By the way, Linda has been arrested by the police. As her close friend, shouldn’t you visit her? She’s

mentioned you several times,” Jonathan said casually while smiling. “Since you’re marrying into the

Sanders Fatnily, remember to be cautious at your age. Avoid getting mixed up with the wrong people,

or you’ll face consequences.”

After saying that, Simon wheeled Jonathan into the elevator, and they disappeared.

Meanwhile, Fanny stood frozen, cold sweat trickling down her spine, and her eyes fixed on the closed

elevator doors.

Christopher frowned. He was puzzled as he asked her, “What did Jonathan mean? Do you know

Linda?”

Fanny forced a smile, suppressed her fear, and innocently shook her head.

“I’m not certain. I spoke with Linda before Angela’s situation arose. We exchanged a few words as

classmates,” she explained, looking somewhat upset. “Perhaps Linda, in an attempt to alleviate her

guilt, began accusing people indiscriminately? Could Jonathan have misunderstood due to her

confrontational attitude?”

Christopher intervened, “Linda won’t be getting out, and Jonathan is going to deal with someone. No

one can save them. Don’t contact Linda anymore.”

A moment later, Fanny hesitantly asked, “Why are you so afraid of Jonathan? He bullies. like that, and

yet you endure it.”

Christopher’s gaze darkened slightly at the mention of Jonathan. “Our family’s situation is complicated. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I’ll explain more in the future.”

“But you scared me earlier. I was so frightened,” Fanny confessed, looking sad.

Christopher felt guilty and gently embraced Fanny..

He apologized and explained softly, “I wasn’t yelling at you earlier. I was trying to protect you. In the

Sanders Family, you can upset me and my dad, but don’t provoke Jonathan. He… is not to be

underestimated.”

Christopher’s eyes hinted at a secret, suggesting Jonathan’s true nature was more terrifying than

anyone could imagine.
