Chapter 16 In The Gutters Of Poverty
Samuel was taken aback by Angela’s unexpected action and found it hard to believe. After a moment,
Samuel forcefully grabbed her arm and exclaimed, “Who gave you permission to leave, Angela?
You’ve become audacious. First, you stole Fanny’s speaking opportunity, and now you dare to spill my
food. Have you lost your mind?”
Angela raised her gaze and looked at Samuel with a cold expression. “Samuel, if there’s something
wrong with your head, seek a psychiatrist. Don’t embarrass yourself here!”
She and Samuel were twins, sharing a resemblance. He was born a few minutes earlier and ranked
fourth in the family. To publicly humiliate her in defense of Fanny, her brother who came into the world
with her, was truly pathetic! Angela forcefully shook off Samuel’s hand and rubbed her sore arm. Then
she looked up.
her eyes cold and slightly narrowed. Angela asked coldly, “I didn’t steal Fanny’s opportunity. Is it
rightfully hers? How can someone be so shameless as to claim someone else’s belongings as their
own?”
Upon hearing Angela’s words, Samuel was on the verge of exploding with anger. His bad temper flared
up, and he angrily shouted at Angela, “Angela, you clearly promised to give the opportunity to Fanny.
What happened? Did you forget your place after you left the family? You’re nothing!”
Jessica couldn’t bear it any longer. With a loud clap, she slammed her cutlery down on the table and
stood up, ready to argue with Samuel. However, Angela stopped her. Angela would handle the Kins
Family matters herself and didn’t need others to intervene in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Although the Turners were wealthy and not afraid of the Kins Family causing any trouble, the Kinses
could still annoy them. Angela didn’t want Jessica to get involved in the conflicts between her and the
Kins Family.
“It’s her opportunity if and only if I give it to her. But right now, I’m not in a good mood, so I won’t give it
to her. Is there a problem?” Angela coldly snorted and retorted without any politeness.. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Samuel was so angry that his teeth were grinding, looking as if he wanted to devour her, but she wasn’t
afraid at all. For someone she didn’t care about, whether he was angry or happy, had nothing to do with
her.
At that moment, Fanny suddenly appeared from the crowd, holding two plates of food. She handed one
of them to Samuel and said. “Samuel, don’t be angry with Angela. I got a new one for you.”
Samuel heard Fanny’s voice, and his anger subsided by half. He immediately turned around and
smiled as he took the tray. He gently reached out and rubbed Fanny’s head. “You’re always so
considerate, Fanny.” Unlike Angela, who only knows how to provoke others. In his heart, he only
recognized Fanny as his sister, while Angela wasn’t even worthy of licking Fanny’s boots.
Fanny bit her lip. “I’m sorry, Samuel. It’s all because of me that you two fought and made it
unpleasant.”
“It’s not your fault. It’s Angela’s mistake. She’s just a country bumpkin who doesn’t have the same
Brundelian skills as you. She got lucky and got the spot, but if she had any self–awareness, she should
have given up the spot and spared herself the embarrassment.”
Fanny raised her innocent face and frowned, acting coquettish. “Samuel, don’t say that about Angela.
Angela has worked hard.”
Samuel pursed his lips, clearly disagreeing. “I’m helping you here, and you’re still defending her.”
There’s a

difference between effort and talent.
Angela felt disgusted and signaled to Jessica. They both left immediately.
As they walked, Jessica couldn’t help but complain, “Angela, is that Samuel really your twin brother?
He’s completely fixated on Fanny. It’s as if he’s blind. People who don’t know would think they are the
real twins”
Angela discovered another restaurant and ordered two servings of chicken and mashed potatoes. She
handed one portion to Jessica.
After taking a bite of the chicken, Angela spoke with a slightly muffled voice. The chicken is delicious.
You should try it.”
Angela was enjoying her meal, but Jessica had no appetite. She even suspected that this girl had lost
her mind and was devouring the chicken as if it were a member of the Kins Family. Jessica felt
frustrated and pushed her own portion towards Angela. “Eat, it’s all yours!”
Angela looked up and sweetly smiled. After finishing their lunch and bidding farewell to Jessica, Angela
left the school during the lunch break, ready to find a part–time job. Since moving out, she needed
money for everything, and she had already spent almost half of her savings.
If she didn’t find a part–time job soon to earn some money, she would truly starve. After wandering
around near the school, Angela stopped at a bubble tea shop. She noticed a red sign posted on the
glass with the words “Now Hiring” written on it, so she entered.
The bubble tea shop was small, with a counter at the front displaying various samples of milk tea.
Neatly arranged rows of white tables and chairs were in the back. There weren’t many customers at
this time, and a few female students were sitting together, enjoying their drinks.
Behind the counter, a young woman was feeding a boy who appeared to be around five or six years
old. Upon seeing Angela enter, the woman set down the bowl in her hand and politely asked what
Angela would like to drink.
Angela smiled and pointed to the job advertisement posted at the entrance, “Hello, I’m here to apply for
a job. I’m a freshman at Riverdon University. Can I work part–time here?”
