Chapter 452 I Don’t Have A Brother
James raised an eyebrow. “So, Ang has been holding a grudge against Fanny all this time?”
As memories of past shes between Fanny and Ang resurfaced, he couldn’t help but acknowledge
the possibility. Still, he hesitated to believe Ang was the mastermind behind it all.
Scarlet nodded gravely upon realizing that James, residing far away in Riverdon, might have not been
fully informed about Ang’s previous misdeeds that led to conflicts between Fanny and Yaxley.
Hence, she wasted no time in bringing it to his attention.
With a furrowed brow, James acknowledged her words. “Mom, I’m aware of that. Joseph filled me in.”
The mention of Joseph prompted him to ponder, I wonder what insights Joseph might have offered if I
were present.
The thought of Joseph still being detained weighed heavily on his mind as he sighed and turned to her.
“Mom, have you considered the possibility that Fanny might have offended someone else?”
Scarlet swiftly defended Fanny’s character, stating, “Fanny is so well–behaved and sensible. It’s hard
to imagine her offending anyone. Only someone like Ang would target her without reason.
Observing James‘ somber expression andck of response, she continued her criticism of Ang.
“Ang doesn’t even have the courage to answer your calls. Clearly, she’s feeling guilty about
something!”
James remained silent as his thoughts were consumed by the dilemma at hand. “Mom, even if Ang
is involved, we can’t afford to antagonize her now, After all, aren’t you still relying on her to help rescue
Joseph and Zacharias?”
Scarlet looked extremely pale, but deep down, she felt that Joseph and Zacharias were indeed slightly
more important than Fanny, so she could only sigh and shake her head.
James attempted tofort her. “I doubt Ang’s behind this. ‘If it were her, Mom, you wouldn’t need
to worry about Fanny so much.”
For some reason, he just couldn’t believe Ang was capable of being cruel or ruthless.
Scarlet fell into silence, and her expression was grim.
The mother and son sat quietly on the couch and the atmosphere was silent as well.

After a while, Scarlet picked up her phone again and said anxiously, “I’ll give Fanny another calle
James didn’t stop her. He felt that if she could get through, Fanny shouldn’t be in any life- threatening
danger.
On the other side, Fanny, who was left at the vi by Florence, saw her phone fully charged and was
about to call James back when she spotted the iing call from Scarlet.
Her hand trembled as she took the phone, but she answered it as quickly as she could.
When Fanny picked up, Scarlet’s voice rang with a mix of worry and surprise.
“Fanny, where have you been? Your phone was off for ages.”
Fanny sensed Scarlet had been searching for her anxiously for a while. “Mom, I’m at a friend’s house.
She invited me over, and I forgot to give you a heads–up. My phone died, but it’s charged now.”
Scarlet found Fanny’s exnation a bit stretched, but she was relieved they were finally talking, and
thetter’s exnation eased her initially tense heart.
Thank God, Fanny isn’t restrained by Ang.
“Okay, that’s a relief. So, when are youing home, Fanny?”
Fanny wasn’t sure herself when she could return.
After hesitating for a while, she finally asked, “Can I stay at my friend’s for a few days, Mom? Please?”
Scarlet didn’t sound thrilled, but she agreed and reminded Fanny to take care of herself.
Just before hanging up, Scarlet dropped James‘ name.
The call was then passed to him.
After a brief exchange, he curiously inquired if Fanny knew anything about Joseph spreading rumors
about Ang.
Naturally, Fanny denied any knowledge, and the call ended shortly afterward.
Once the line went dead, she felt a rush of confusion sweep over her.
Why did James suddenly bring up Joseph’s gossip about Ang? Does he suspect my involvement?

With a quick shake of her head, she dismissed the thought.
Her only link to the matter was Telvis, whom she had introduced to Joseph.
It all started on her first day back at Nortnd Medical University after Christopher departed from
Nortnd.
And it was Joseph’s concern for her that led him to drive her to school that day.
When they casually crossed paths with Telvis, they were discussing how heartless Ang was for
completely disregarding Zacharias‘ illness.
That person seems to be in training with Ang,” she mentioned, gesturing toward Telvis.
Joseph, already upset with Ang’s cold treatment, scrutinized Telvis after hearing her words, and this
made Fanny secretly hope he would do something about it.
However, she didn’t expect him to just hand Telvis a flimsy note. Though everything written on the note
was true, it still gave Ang an opportunity.
She outright denied Zacharias, her own brother.
Thinking about how Joseph didn’t cause any trouble for Ang but ended up embarrassed instead,
Fanny felt he was more trouble than he was worth.
But even though she had a lot of opinions about him in her heart, she didn’t dare to reveal them in front
of him.
The next morning.
Ang learned from Jonathan that James had stopped by. Still half–asleep, she mumbled, “When?”
Jonathan smirked, and a trace of amusement danced in his eyes.
“After

dozed off.
Ang’s checks flushed immediately. She recalled how worn out she wasst night after Jonathan’s
relentless teasing.
Upon contemting his unchecked desires, she felt a mix of embarrassment and wistfulness. Back in
Riverdon, Sebastian and May would probably have been hoping for her to have a chubby little boy by
now.
As she reminisced, her blush deepened.
Yet, despite everything, memories of Riverdon made her feel a pang of longing. Even though

there wasn’t all sunshine and roses in her past life, it was still home, where she felt more at case.
And with friends who cared for her and people like Sebastian and May, who felt like family, Ang felt a
certain fondness for Riverdon.
When she came to Nortnd for training, May originally wanted to apany her, but she declined
the offer.
Even with Jonathan’s arrival, Sebastian and May didn’t join. Apart from themselves and Oliver, the
bodyguard, their amodation only had a housekeeper who handled cleaning and cooking.
And thanks to Jonathan’s specific instructions, the housekeeper rarely crossed their path.
After being lost in her thoughts for too long, Ang was startled when he called out to her softly.
She snapped back to reality and slowly got up. It dawned on her, prompted by his mention of James
earlier, that she should inquire further.
“Why is James looking for me?”
She always sensed trouble whenever the Kins Family reached out to her.
With Joseph’s recent detainment, Ang couldn’t shake the suspicion that James‘ appearance was
somehow linked to it.
“I didn’t ask, but it’s probably not a good thing,” Jonathan replied, his tone icy yet matter–of- fact.
However, he still proceeded to summarize his conversation with James for her.
Ang couldn’t help but frown at his words.
Jonathan’s response mirrored her thoughts, almost like they were on the same wavelength.
And she couldn’t believe he had just confronted James, saying she had no brother.
It really hit close to home for her.

Being tangled up with the Kins Family only brought her disgust. How could she consider them as kin?
It became clear to her that James was definitely not her brother. She had no brother.
Jonathan gently tousled her hair and checked the time before softly suggesting, “Let’s ready for dinner,
then I’ll walk you to school.”
