With that thought in mind, Angeline felt her blood run cold out of nervousness.

That was when Jonathan exited the vehicle calmly and greeted, “Greetings, Mr. Golding. I’ve heard plenty about you. You definitely live up to your name.”

Evander approached the car with Floretta as he gazed imposingly at Angeline. “Is he the reason you returned to Summerbank?”

“It’s not what you think.” Pressured by his overbearing aura, Angeline stepped out of the car upon steeling herself, momentarily unsure of how to explain her situation.

“As the most prominent investor of The Journey, shouldn’t I know about your relationship with him?” Evander questioned with slight fury.

His anger wasn’t unjustified. Angeline’s sudden departure did negatively affect the filming, after all.

He bought plane tickets and followed her back without hesitation because he was worried about her safety. Yet, when he came to visit her without even bothering to deposit his luggage at home, all he saw was a scene of her getting intimate with another man.

“I think you’ve misunderstood, Mr. Golding. Angeline has been doing things for you,” Jonathan explained plainly.

Then he grabbed a folder from the back of his car and handed it to Evander. “She knew you spent an entire year fighting for Project Serenity against Hanson, so she asked me to analyze the advantages Hanson possesses.”

Evander’s eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly when he heard that. After he opened the folder and perused the content within, the expression on his face changed drastically.

Jonathan continued his explanation calmly, “In reality, there was no way Hanson could’ve bested you. The only reason he hadn’t given up was that Joseline transferred fifteen percent of the shares to him and had bribed someone to be a spy in Golding Group.”

Evander’s expression was exceptionally frosty as he questioned, “Who leaked this intel to you?” His indifferent voice brought with it a hint of restrained viciousness.

Angeline, who was standing at the side, shuddered slightly in trepidation. The look in her eyes as she stared at Jonathan became complicated.
