Chapter 401 Stirring Up Trouble

Angela, after thinking things through, asserted, “I’ll handle any further contact from Joseph.”

The mere thought of reaching out to Joseph turned Angela’s stomach.

Jonathan, not one to argue, chimed in, “Mind if I tag along when you meet him?”

His request took her by surprise, and while she was hesitating, he acknowledged, “I’m concerned he might bully you.”

Though expecting Joseph to blow his top, Christopher was taken aback by its intensity. Stepping back, he explained, “Zacharias himself, with Mrs. Kins‘ approval.”
