Sebastian was taken aback by the words “threatening to close down the shop.” His gaze shifted slightly, and through the frosted glass door of the kitchen, he could see Angela, slender and busy.
“If she wanted to harm me, why would she point out that someone has been tampering with my pills?” Jonathan responded indifferently, his narrow eyes filled with mockery. “If it weren’t for her warning, I would have unknowingly consumed poison for so long. I would have been close to death, right?”
Upon hearing this, Sebastian’s face changed drastically.
“Damn it. How can you say such things? What about death and everything?” Sebastian frowned.
For a moment, genuine fear washed over him. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Being superstitious as he was, Sebastian brought his palms together. “It was thanks to the heavenly blessing that we met Angela. I pray that you will continually be blessed, Mr. Lawson…”
Listening to Sebastian’s prayers, Jonathan pursed his lips helplessly.
After Angela finished making the dessert, she prepared milk balls for Jonathan and Sebastian. She then packed the rest in containers.
The remaining ingredients she had brought were all placed in the refrigerator.
For now, she wouldn’t take them home.
Angela felt a twinge of anger, not knowing whether her grandmother had sold those items or used them for the benefit of others. Either way, Angela was a bit upset.
After completing all of this, she bid farewell to the two of them. Holding a jar of colorful and bouncy milk balls, she hurried to the milk tea shop.
Although it was nearing the end of the term and students were busy with their studies, the milk tea shop was still bustling.
The shop, which originally had about ten seats, had now expanded to include a large umbrella outside.

Even so, there were still not enough seats, and many people simply bought takeaways. However, there was still a long queue for ordering.
“Baby, why don’t we go to another shop? There are so many people here. When will we get to the front of the line?” The man outside the shop was overwhelmed by the sight of the queue.
The woman, dressed in heavy makeup, pouted. “No, I want to buy from this shop. Only they have this new product, and I’ve already bragged to my friends about it. If I go back empty- handed, it would be so embarrassing! Are you coming with me to buy it or not?”
“Okay. Let’s wait in line, alright?”
The two quickly joined the queue.
The students who arrived later quickly noticed that in addition to the original students, there were also some adults in Selene’s milk tea shop.
It made sense, as Selene’s milk tea shop had been launching one super delicious new product. after another, completely surpassing the products of other milk tea shops. The milk tea from. other places just couldn’t compare.
Word of mouth spread, and Selene’s milk tea shop became famous.
It was said that other milk tea shops were also secretly developing new ingredients, but Selene’s milk tea shop had already made a name for itself. Drinking milk tea from her shop had become a trend among the locals.
Inside the shop, three girls finally reached the front of the line. One of them, upon seeing a new waiter, frowned and asked, “Where’s Angela? Let her serve us.”
The waiter, who had just started a few days ago, looked confused. “Angela? I’m sorry. We don’t have anyone by that name working here.”
The girls looked at each other and quickly mocked, “That’s true. With her clumsiness, she must have been fired by Clara a long time ago. How could she still be working here?”
The three of them laughed and placed their orders. Just as they finished, a seat in the shop became available, so they quickly sat down.
“Linda, I remember your father’s business also includes a tea shop, right? This milk tea shop is doing so well. Will your family also venture into it in the future? If your family opens a milk tea shop, we won’t have to wait in line anymore, right?”
Linda sneered. “Our family’s tea shop caters to high–end clientele for tea tasting. How can it be compared to a milk tea shop that is not on the same level? Besides, how much money can

this street food business make? It’s just ordinary people who drink a lot. Can it even open a chain store?”
One of the girl
listened to Linda’s arrogant tone, didn’t say a word, lowered her head, and scooped a soft pudding with a spoon. While doing this, she thought to herself that this milk tea shop had great potential.
Could it be that these customers who came for the reputation were all fake? Although she didn’t understand business, she knew that good products were easy to sell.
Linda’s family was in business, but Linda lacked vision.
Coming here, other than drinking milk tea, was just to humiliate Angela Kins. Last time, to humiliate her, she even threw ten dollars at Angela. Wasn’t that foolish? Who would give money to someone they disliked?
As they were talking, a girl from the other side suddenly nudged Linda. “Linda, it’s Angela Kins.”
Linda looked over and saw Angela not only bypassing the queue to enter the shop but also carrying something into the kitchen.
Her face instantly turned sour.
“What’s wrong with this waiter? Didn’t they say she wasn’t here?”
She stood up abruptly and stormed over to the counter. “You said Angela wasn’t here! Then who just went in?”
The waiter looked bewildered. Another waiter who had been there a few days longer and knew about Angela quickly tried to smooth things over. “I’m sorry, Miss. Let’s discuss this over here.”
There were too many people in line. If they wasted time here, the customers behind would. definitely get impatient.
Linda slammed her milk tea onto the counter. “Is this how you treat your customers? Deceiving and brushing us off? If this were my family’s business, with your kind of service, you’d be out the door by now.”
The milk tea and its toppings splattered all over the counter, even getting into the calculator.
The staff hurried to clean up, but it was too late.
“Ma’am, how could you do this?”

“Call Angela out!” Linda was extremely upset. These people dared to make a fool of her. In the Saw Group, everyone would respectfully address her as Miss Linda.
The people in line behind her saw the commotion, and although a bit anxious, they all started to watch the drama unfold.
What was going on?
In the kitchen, Angela was discussing with Clara how to add milk balls to the drinks when they heard the commotion. They exchanged glances and quickly came out.
Angela observed the furious girl at the front closely. Wasn’t she the one who had intentionally embarrassed her by offering money last time?
What was her purpose for being here now? Angela didn’t even know her.
Clara greeted her with a warm smile. “What seems to be the issue, Miss? Did our shop fail to provide satisfactory service? How about we offer you a complimentary milk tea this time?”
Upon seeing Angela emerge. Linda forcefully pushed Clara aside. “Who needs you to be charitable? I specifically requested Angela to serve our table, but your waiter claimed she wasn’t around. Are you implying that we’re blind? Do you have any idea who I am? With a single word from me, I can have your shop shut down!”
