Michael could sense that something significant was unfolding just by observing Christopher’s hesitant
expression. His keen eyes scrutinized Christopher.
We had always been candid with each other, whether the news was good or bad. Could Christopher’s
troubling issue be connected to that woman, Fanny?
At that moment, Michael’s expression darkened.
As anticipated, Christopher appeared resolute, then nervously inquired, “Dad, can you assist with
Fanny’s predicament?”
Michael snorted. “Assist? How can I assist her? Don’t you understand the trouble Fanny is in? Have
you forgotten my previous warnings?”
Christopher recoiled under Michael’s scolding. He knew his father would not approve.
Just as he was about to speak, Michael seemed to have a realization. He narrowed his eyes and
exuded a menacing aura, “Did you see her today?”
Christopher did not try to hide it..
“Yes,” he met his father’s gaze head–on. Fanny only had him. He could not back down. “Dad. Fanny is
my fiancée. She’s in trouble now, so I have to help her.”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Michael mmed the table, scolding angrily, “You fool, when will you mature? Is now the appropriate
time for you to show off your abilities to her? If you have the capability, then help her. If you can assist
her without utilizing the resources of the Sanders Family, I won’t object!”
Christopher sighed inwardly. Every time Fanny is mentioned, his father bes indignant. When the
Kins Family was still prosperous, the father was already displeased with this engagement. Now that
Fanny has encountered legal issues, the father must harbor even more disdain for her. He could even
perceive the repulsion in his father’s eyes.
Christopher could only plead, “Dad, Fanny is in a pitiful state now. Moreover, none of this is her fault.
Her ssmates and Ang envy her, so they framed her.”
Michael did not erupt angrily but smiled, gazing directly at Christopher, “Are you saying that someone
set her up?”
Christopher nodded. His eyes were brimming with determination.

Finally, Christopher expressed indignation, “Do you find Ang excessively malicious? Fortunately, I
decisively terminated the engagement at that time. Otherwise, it would have been a catastrophe if I had
married her.”
As he spoke, relief seemed to wash over his face.
However, Michael regarded Christopher as if he were a fool.
Is this the son I had painstakingly nurtured for over twenty years? Is this the son he had intended to
groom topete with Jonathan? he thought.
With such a tender heart, he would not shake Jonathan’s position even if he exerted all efforts to assist
him now. If he were no longer present in the future, he would bepletely taken advantage of.
Michael rose to his feet with his face consumed by uncontroble anger. He pointed at Christopher and
scolded furiously, “I believe Fanny has clouded your mind. How can such grave usations be
casually thrown around? Do you thinkw enforcement officers are as inept as you? Do you think that
they don’t they possess the ability to discern between truth. and falsehood?”
Christopher was slightly dissatisfied. “Therefore, there is no definitive conclusion yet. The authorities
are still investigating, and perhaps Fanny won’t face any repercussions. Furthermore, I simply want you
to assist me in containing the situation so that we won’t be under constant scrutiny and it won’t be
inconvenient for others to probe.”
Michael settled back into his chair with a somber expression but remained silent.
He felt that the current Christopher was akin to a king enchanted by the fox spirit Fanny and was
unable to heed any counsel from others.

Christopher continued to implore his father with emotion and logit, “Also, regardless of the
circumstances, Fanny is now my fiancée, the future Mrs. Sanders of the Kins Family. At this juncture,
even if others can turn a blind eye, if we do the same, we will undoubtedly be subject to gossip behind
our backs.”
“If you could be so heartless towards his future daughter–inw, you would be even more ruthless
towards your business partners. Could someone with such a demeanor still effectively coborate?
Many individuals may have doubts and considerations, which could indirectly impact thepany’s
operations,” Christopher said with a stern tone.
Michael’s expression became even grimmer after hearing his reasoning. However, he had to
acknowledge that Christopher was correct in his assessment. Ultimately, it was his moment

of weakness that led to their engagement. Outsiders would not delve into the reasons behind it; they
would only see the oue.
Michael could not help but relent. “I can assist her, but the condition is that you call off the
engagement.”
“What?” Christopher appeared surprised, stood up abruptly, and gazed down at Michael, “Dad, how
can you be so snobbish?” Michael sneered.
Was I a snobbish man?
He coldly confronted Christopher and stated without hesitation, “You pride yourself on loyalty and
righteousness. Fine, from now on, you can relinquish your position as Master Jonathan of the Sanders
Family. Let’s see how long your devotion to her will endure.”
He believed that his son had been indulged and had lost his.
way.
He disregarded the constant reminders and warnings. How could hepete with Jonathan in this
manner? he thought.
Christopher lowered his head, furrowing his brows in discontent, “Dad, why do you insist on me ending
things with Fanny? She is a wonderful girl. I can’t abandon her when she needs
me the most.
Michael could not help but feel regret for his son. What kind of predicament had hended himself in?
His son was either too capable yet disobedient or too foolish and disobedient.
He felt as though he was on the brink of madness. Trying to control his emotions, he calmly stated, “If
Fanny is truly kind and innocent, she wouldn’t have found herself in this
predicament. Christopher, think carefully about it.”
Christopher remained silent. He was at a loss on how to persuade his parents.
Should I truly end the engagement? But what about Fanny?
Observing Christopher in this state, Michael grew frustrated with his son’s decision on his partner. He
knew that Christopher was typicallypliant, but when it came to Fanny, it was as if his logic had
been clouded, and he could not critically reason the situation.
He understood that he could not push him too forcefully, but this situation with Fanny causing trouble
presented a prime opportunity to end the engagement.
Michael’splexion paled, his voice conveying authority, “You state your terms, and I’ll state mine. If
you agree to end the engagement with Fanny and be engaged to Miss Martinez, I will agree to assist
Fanny. It’s time to think for yourself carefully.”

Christopher sighed helplessly and contemted for a moment, “Dad, Miss Martinez, and I have only
just met. How can we already be engaged?”
Seeing his son’s less resistant reaction, Michael softened his tone, “Who said you have to be engaged
immediately? There’s still time. Just spend more time with Miss Martinez, and feelings will naturally
develop.”
Christopher opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately remained silent.
He rose, reflected for a moment, and then uttered, “Let me think it over for a few days.”
Michael also recognized no need to rush this matter, so he gestured for Christopher to depart.
As Christopher exited the study, he felt somewhat disheartened. He could notprehend how things
had unfolded in this manner.
