Chapter 284 Spreading Rumors
“Joseph? Why are you back?” Fanny looked at Joseph with a mix of surprise and fear, unsure of where
to ce her hands and feet.
“Fanny, you shouldn’t have returned. Ang won’t go easy on Zacharias if she finds out,” Joseph said,
his tone softening at the sight of Fanny’s pitiful expression.
“Joseph, I can’t go back to the Lynch Family. That woman treated me so poorly before, and even
though she’s locked up now, people will still gossip about me.”
Fanny cried as she spoke, appearing very pitiful.
“Didn’t Mom rent a house for you?” Joseph suggested helplessly. “Move in there. You can alwayse
to us if you need anything but don’te back here. That way, Ang won’t have a chance to find fault
with you.”
Fanny bit her lip, about to say something, when she suddenly heard a noiseing from the kitchen.
She gasped and hurriedly made her way to the kitchen.

Seeing Joseph approaching, Fanny timidly said, “Joseph, this is the soup I made for you. I was
nning to bring it to you when I visit Momter, but she’s still asleep, and I want to spend more time
with her, taking care of her.”
Touched by Fanny’s thoughtfulness, Joseph felt a mix of heartache and tenderness and reassured her.
“Thank you, Fanny. I know you’ve been through a lot, but there’s no other option right now. Once
Zacharias is better, we’ll bring you back.”
Fanny continued to plead, “But I want to be closer to my brothers so I can see all of you more
often.”
Scarlet had been kind to her, but the ce she had rented before, as apromise with Ang to
save Zacharias, was not only far away but also had poor conditions.
She didn’t want to live in such a remote ce.
Joseph asked, “Fanny, do you want to take care of Mom? I’ve already hired a caregiver, so you

“But a caregiver isn’t family after all, and I’m not at ease.” Fanny grew a bit anxious and started to cry.
Joseph, please let me stay home to care for Mom. It’s closer here.”
“You can’t stay at home.” Joseph, feeling helpless, finallypromised by renting a house. near the
Kins Family for Fanny. “But I can rent a house for you near home and the hospital.”
Upon hearing this, Fanny, though still reluctant, understood that this was the best solution and could
only agree.
“Joseph, can I visit Momter?”
“You can. Joseph patted her head. “You’re Mom’s daughter. Of course, you can visit her. She’ll be very
happy.”
When Ang was informed by Joseph that Fanny’s situation had been sorted out, she and Cassie had
already left the mall with a sessful shopping trip.
Ang had bought a few clothes, including some for Jonathan, while Cassie had purchased a variety
of gifts to bring joy to the family.
After the previous incident at the club, her dad still hadn’tpletely calmed down.
Cassie had booked a private hot spring, and the two of them nned to rx and unwind.
This is so rxing, Cassie sighed while sitting in a bathrobe in the private hot spring.
Ang also found the hot spring very enjoyable and thought about Jonathan’s busy scheduletely.
Perhaps she could find time to bring him here for a soak.

After finishing her run, Cassie went to the bathroom while Ang changed clothes and waited in the
rest area. Unexpectedly, she bumped into an acquaintance.
“Ang, what a coincidence to see you here. Are you alone? Would you like to join us?”
Winter gestured towards a group of people in the distance.
Ang nced up and spotted Winter, unconsciously furrowing her brow.
Encountering Winter twice in such a short span of time, she found it difficult to maintain a positive
attitude.
“No worries. I have a friend apanying me.”
“Oh, she’s too aloof to hang out with us,” Beside Winter was a stranger who sarcasticallymented
on her and pulled Winter away.

Casting a nce back at Ang, Winter noticed her frown and sneered inwardly.
“Let’s see how long you can keep up this pride, Ang. Enjoy it while itsts!” With that, Winter
departed reluctantly.
Curious to see how long Ang could uphold her pride, she feared that it wouldn’tst through the
night.
Ang watched Winter leave without much thought.
Cassic swiftly returned, and the two of them packed up, preparing to depart.
Just as they were about to head home, Cassie mentioned, “Ang, something hase up. Someone
is spreading rumors about you on the forum.”
She handed her phone to Ang, disying a post using her of using connections to secure a spot
and cheating to im first ce.
The post appeared convincing and supported by solid evidence.
“This person is spreading lies here. I’m going to set the record straight!”
With that, Cassie began responding to the post.
However, amidst the replies, in addition to Cassie’s firm stance, there were skeptics and even
individuals hurling insults and curses at Ang.
The post was rife with hostility.

Before Ang could even open the post on her phone, she received a call from Jessica.
“Jess, what’s going on?”
International calls were costly, prompting Ang to wonder why Jessica had suddenly reached out.
“Ang, have you seen the post on the forum? Those people are fabricating stories there.”
Surprisingly, Jessica also referenced the post immediately, to which Ang responded, “I just saw it.
No need to worry.”
Despite being overseas, Jessica remained attentive to her friend’s affairs, warming Ang’s heart.
With friends like Jessica and Cassie, even in the face of nder, she felt less intimidated.

“How could I not worry? You’ve been falsely used! Ang, wait for me. I will report that post for
spreading misinformation. It needs to be addressed!”
Expressing her indignation, Jessica was visibly angered upon seeing the post.
“Alright. I will take care of it as well. Thank you, Jessica.”
After a brief conversation with Jessica, Ang ended the call while Cassie sat beside her, engrossed in
a heated exchange on her phone.
Cassie fervently responded to messages, his fingers flying across the keyboard. Her expression
darkened upon seeing ssmates specifically targeting Ang.
“These people are vile! They must have been bribed to tarnish your reputation.”
“Cassie, let’s not dwell on them for now. Jessica reported the post, so it should be addressed
soon.”
Given that this was on the school forum, any reported post would be investigated, and action would be
taken by the administrators.
“But it seems like the post was made by an administrator. He must have been bribed!” Cassie’s anger
escted.
“What’s her name?”
“Huh?” Cassie grasped the situation and looked at Ang in confusion.
“What’s the name of that administrator?”
Ang suspected a connection to Winter, especially considering her recent confrontational remarks.
