Hearing George’s refusal, Christopher didn’t offer any further suggestions and decisively ended the call
After hanging up, his expression turned cold and disdainful.
He used to adore Fanny immensely, extending his affection to the entire Kins Family.
However, remembering Fanny’s previous scheme to deceive him into going to Nortnd on Florence’s
behalf, he felt a surge of disgust.
On the other side, George was troubled by the disconnected call.
Without Christopher’s financial assistance, George was at a loss for who else to turn to.
The casino suggested he take out a high–interest loan, but he shuddered at the thought of how a small
debt spiraled into a massive one due to Joey’s scheme.
Despite his strong desire to gamble, George dared not engage with high–interest loans again.
And thinking of Joey, who had been unreachable since the incident, George was almost certain he’d
been deliberately set up.
But why would Joey target me for no reason?
Was it Dn’s doing?
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
The thought of Dn filled George with rage.
After the incident, Dn had gone into hiding, and George felt he had see character.

Now, far away in Riverdon and unable to confront Dn physically, he decided to at least give him a
piece of his mind over the phone.
Meanwhile, James was listening to Fanny share how she agreed to marry Christopher at home.
They were not the only ones in the living room. Apanying them were Scarlet and Zacharias.
Inparison to the calm James, Scarlet was livid.
“What are you saying? You agreed to his proposal?”

Her disdain for Christopher was palpable, especially since he once had his eyes on Zacharias‘ kidney.
In an attempt to mediate the situation, Zacharias interjected, “Let Fanny exin, Mom.” After having
been interrupted, Fanny was now unsure of how to continue from where she left off. She could tell
Scarlet was furious, but Christopher was her only way out.
With Christopher’s ultimatum over the phone and George urging her, she feltpelled to spill the
beans in the hopes that they would all return to Riverdon together.
Hopefully, Florence’s men can’t forcefully detain me.
At the sight of Fanny’s internal struggles, Zacharias gently urged, “Fanny, just continue.”
With a nod, she resumed from where she left off. “Mom, Dad just gave me a ring. He’s urging me to
return to marry Christopher pronto.” After a brief thought, she decided to bring up George in the end.
“Does it have to be with Christopher? He’s not a good man, Fanny!” The grudge Scarlet held for
Christopher seemed deep–rooted as her face would distort in displeasure whenever she heard his
name.
The helpless Fanny turned to James, who was now in charge of the family in George’s absence. This
was why she sought his opinion on this matter.
When she looked at him, everyone followed suit, awaiting hisment. James sensed everyone’s
eyes on him, so he cleared his throat and stated, “It will be for the best if Fanny and Christopher’s
wedding can ur sooner rather thanter.”
Before Scarlet could raise objections, he continued, “Mom, hear me out.”
So, she waited, but she was visibly unhappy.
James had no choice but to reveal the current predicaments that their family business was facing in
Riverdon. It was something that he kept close to his chest, so the more he exined, the more
surprised and concerned acharias and Scarlet were.
Scarlet, incredulous, asked, “James, is what you’re saying true?”
She could not believe what she had heard. How long has it been? And our family business is already
dealing with so much sh*t?
Zacharias was surprised, albeit not as much as Scarlet. After all, Scarlet had been in aa for quite a
period of time and was unaware of what had happened. Upon noticing that James was struggling to
respond without making Scarlet upset, Zacharias coughed lightly to draw
attention to himself.

When Scarlet turned to Zacharias, he reassured her, “Mom, James is telling the truth. Don’t worry; he
has his own ways to deal with it.”
At this, he expectantly looked at James.
Only then did James bring up the potential benefits of an alliance with the Sanderses, including the
resolution of their family predicament, albeit temporarily.
He concluded, “Not to mention, Fanny loves Christopher, and he cares a lot for her too. So, they are
more than suited to marry each other.”
As she listened to her family’s exchange, Fanny became uneasy when she realized her marriage would
serve such a purpose. However, she didn’t dwell on it for long and quickly stated, “You’ll have my full
cooperation if it’s able to help the family.”
Like the Kins Family, she did not have any other choice but still hoped her efforts would be recognized.
James affectionately ruffled her hair. “Fanny, you are really sensible.”
Scarlet, who was on the side, was at a loss for words, overwhelmed by the sheer number of issues
their family faced without her knowledge. Suddenly, she blurted out, “Did all this happen because of
that b*tch Ang!?”
She still remembered George and Linda’s affair, which seemed to involve Ang. However, before
Scarlet could further investigate, George had pushed her into heratose state.
Scarlet had remained in Nortnd after regaining consciousness, so she did not directly confront
Linda. Once her sons informed her that Linda took the me for pushing her, which led to Linda being
imprisoned in bem, Scarlet stopped probing even more.
Now, she wanted to visit Linda and ask whether Ang was the instigator.
No one had responded to Scarlet’s usatory question, so she repeated her question, albeit in a
louder tone, “Did Ang cause all this?!”
James answered, “Mom, Ang has nothing to do with what thepany is facing.”
When thepany first faced issues, it was the consequences of the media pressure surrounding the
family scandal. It resulted in the loss of several business coborators, which was something hardly
connected to Ang.
The issues that transpiredter did not involve Ang either, especially since she had already moved
to Nortnd.
Scarlet continued to pursue the matter. “It’s definitely all her fault. If it weren’t for her, why would
disaster befall our family?”

With that, she attributed all the misfortunes in their family to Ang.

James sighed, not wanting to argue further. Thest he visited Ang, he felt that she had yed him
out on top of the trip not being sessful, which added to his dissatisfaction with her. He also thought
that they did not need to defend Ang because, to liim, she
indeed was the cause of the Kins Family’s downfall.
