Chapter 451 Upsetting Florence


    Fanny didn’t get any sympathy as she wailed in pain from the beating, and her already pale face looked


    even more pitiful.


    But there was nopassion to be found in that room, and the blows continued unabated.


    Fanny knew she had upset Florence again with her words and begged for mercy while crying and


    screaming in pain.


    When Fanny pleaded for the second time, Florencezily called a halt to the beating.


    The blows stopped, but Fanny’s tears didn’t. She cried loudly before, and now that she was beaten


    hard, her face and body were left in a sorry state.


    Even though the fists stopped, Fanny still whispered in fear, “Miss Shelton, I was wrong.”


    Fanny realized that Florence was angry because she suggested tying down Angel with Kaydron


    She thought Florence didn’t like her and Kaydron being together.


    “I shouldn’t have made such suggestions…”


    As Fanny wiped her tears, she vowed to be more careful with her words around Florence, who had a


    terrible temper.


    “Good to know. Those kinds of people… Florence sighed with satisfaction as she rxed her furrowed


    brow.


    Fanny had guessed half of her intentions, but the main reason was that she had no intention of


    associating with Ang in the first ce.


    Secondly, even if she did want to involve Ang, she certainly wouldn’t do it with someone like


    Kaydron.


    After all, Kaydron was clearly a liability and was unlikely to be of any help whatsoever.


    Perhaps sensing the disdain in Florence’s unspoken words, Fanny hesitated before speaking


    cautiously, “Miss Shelton, even if you don’t need assistance, you can definitely…”


    But before she could finish her sentence, Florence interrupted her displeasedly.


    “I’m not nning to deal with Ang for now, and as for those rotten ideas you came up with earlier,


    forget about them.

    foitially, upon learning that Ang was Jonathan’s wife, Florence had indeed considered. taking action


    against her. However, she knew that directly targeting Ang would surely displease Jonathan.


    She could tell that he had genuine feelings for Ang.


    And today, when her men discovered that the bodyguards Jonathan had ced around Ang were all


    former soldiers or mercenaries, Florence became even more convinced that Jonathan cared deeply for


    Ang.


    Florence was thankful for her team’s thorough probe into Ang’s security while they dug into


    Kaydron’s case. Despite the rush, it helped her decide not to go after Ang, contrary to Fanny’s


    suggestion.


    Fanny couldn’t grasp Florence’s change of heart and was puzzled by her earlier interest. turning into a


    different stance.


    Upon seeing Florence’s frustrated face, Fanny felt silly. Florence had had enough of thetter’s antics


    and gave her another hard kick, hitting her where it hurt the most.


    Upon hearing Fanny’s cries, Florence sighed. “We’ve got to figure out a way to get Christopher back to


    Nortnd. Until then, consider yourself my guest.”


    The mention of being a ‘guest‘ sent chills down Fanny’s spine.


    Under Florence’s stern look, Fanny kept silent, no matter how torn up inside she felt.


    Florence got up casually and headed out the door.


    Before leaving, she made sure her associates would take care of Fanny in her absence.


    Fanny watched her leave, trembling, then turned to the two people left behind, not sure what to do


    next.


    Reaching out to Christopher to return to Nortnd felt like a lost cause after his sudden hang–up.


    However, with two individuals monitoring her now, even though it waste, she reluctantly reached for


    her phone.


    When she did, she realized her phone had unexpectedly powered off.


    Earlier, when she noticed someone calling her, she discreetly muted it because she didn’t want to upset


    Florence, especially when they were in the middle of an important conversation.


    After muting it, shepletely forgot about her phone.


    But to her surprise, her phone had shut down on its own, and only when she tried to turn it

    Looking at the two ominous figures guarding her, she sighed and asked, “My phone died. Can I charge


    it first?”


    The two didn’t give her a hard time, and one of them quickly fetched a charger for her.


    As she plugged in her phone to charge, she pondered how to convince Christopher to help her and


    how to ensure that after Kaydron showed up, he wouldn’t target Ang again.


    She didn’t want him to focus on her instead of Ang, especially since he still had her photos.


    Finally, when her phone was fully charged, she frowned at the missed calls on the screen, and her


    whole demeanor was tense with worry.


    There were calls from Kaydron, Scarlet, and even from James. Her first thought was that James had


    arrived in Nortnd. After all, Scarlet had mentioned that she would get James to handle Joseph’s


    affairs.


    Thinking of James‘ capability and resourcefulness, Fanny felt relieved and decided to return his call


    first, but just as she was about to dial his number, Scarlet suddenly called her.


    Earlier, Scarlet had encountered James hurrying back home. She immediately informed him that she


    had tried calling her several times throughout the afternoon, only to be met with silence. Eventually, her


    calls went straight to voicemail, indicating that Fanny’s phone had been switched off. This raised her


    concern for thetter’s safety.


    After listening to Scarlet’s ount, James also tried calling Fanny, only to be met with the same


    oue: her phone was unreachable. Scarlet’s eyes glistened with unshed tears, and without uttering


    a word, she bolted toward the door, determined to seek help.


    James quickly stopped her from going out as he was concerned about thete hour and the darkness


    outside.


    “Mom, you’re still not fully recovered. It’ste at night, you shouldn’t go out. I’ll go check on Fanny,” said


    James.


    Upon seeing that he was also concerned about Fanny, Scarlet’s worries eased a bit.


    He immediately reached out to his acquaintances for help. While he wasn’t deeply connected in the


    city, he knew a handful of people who might be able to help.


    At least it was better than Scarlet going out alone to search for a needle in a haystack.


    After asking for help from his acquaintances, he found himself at a loss for what to do next. His brows


    furrowed in frustration, prompting Scarlet to voice her suspicions.

    James, do you think it could be Ang…?”


    Perplexed, he responded, “Why would you think it’s her?” Despite his confusion, he couldn’t shake the


    feeling that Ang didn’t fit the profile of someone capable of such actions.


    She borated, “Ang has always harbored resentment toward Fanny. I can’t help but wonder if


    she’s behind this.” Recalling Fanny’s exaggerated tales of how Ang allegedly caused her breakup


    with Yaxley, coupled with Ang’s distant demeanor toward their family. and Zacharias and Joseph in


    particr, it was easier for Fanny to subtly me Ang. Naturally, Scarlet grew even more disdainful


    of Ang.


    If only I could turn back time, she mused, I would never have wished for someone as despicable as


    Ang to be a part of our lives.
