Chapter 286 Stop Bothering Him
Before Christopher answered the phone, he informed Sophia that it was Michael calling.
“No, my dad heard that we were out together and told us to have a good time,” Christopher
said with a smile.
Sophia teased, “Your dad didn’t rush you, so why do you look so worried? Don’t tell me you don’t want to hear my friends sing?”
The KTV private room was quite crowded, filled with Sophia’s friends and a few of their partners.
Upon seeing Christopher’s good behavior, Sophia decided to introduce him to her friends on
a whim.
Since she and Christopher were already in a committed relationship, there was no harm in introducing him to her friends in advance.
However, a couple of her friends were not very skilled at singing, which was why she asked. that question.
“How could that be?” Christopher replied with a smile, “Actually, they’re good and not too terrible.”
As they were chatting happily, one of Sophia’s younger friends suddenly handed microphones to them and said, “Love songs, love songs. Since you haven’t sung yet, do sing a .duet.”
Sophia didn’t dampen her friend’s enthusiasm and directly took the microphone, then looked at Christopher.
Christopher also took another microphone.
While they sang together, Fanny hung up the phone and felt uneasy.
After waiting in the hospital for a while, she couldn’t sit still.
She wanted to find Christopher but didn’t know where he was, so she had to call him again.
Christopher had gone to the bathroom without bringing his phone, and one of Sophia’s friends saw the phone light up and answered it casually.

“Who’s this?” She gestured, and the music in the private room stopped.
At the same time, the voice of Fanny came through the earpiece.
“Who are you? Why are you answering Christopher’s phone?”
Fanny’s voice was too recognizable, and Sophia recognized it immediately, so she took the phone directly and asked, “Why are you still bothering Christopher? Didn’t I make it clear to you last time? Stop bothering him.”
“It’s you!” Fanny remembered who Sophia was. “Why do you have Christopher’s phone?”
“Don’t call him ‘Christopher‘ repeatedly, it’s nauseating. Christopher is dating me now. If you’re sensible, don’t come and disturb us. Otherwise, don’t blame me for causing trouble for
you.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone directly.
Upon hanging up the phone, Sophia paused for a moment, then decided to delete the call logs. She noticed that most of the recent calls were from Fanny to Christopher, so she promptly blocked Fanny’s number.
If this had happened before, when she and Christopher hadn’t been together for long, she might have confronted him about it. But given their current progress, they would soon be engaged, and she didn’t see the need to make a big deal out of a woman who was unilaterally fixated on Christopher.
Feeling aggrieved after being hung up on, Fanny sat on the steps, lost in thought. As soon as she got up, a sack was suddenly pulled over her head. She wanted to scream for help, but her mouth and nose were covered.
The pungent odor hit her nose, and she fainted.
Within a day, George made numerous calls to Linda, but none went through. He then checked her flight and discovered that she hadn’t boarded the plane at all.
His initial reaction was that he had been deceived. Fuming with anger, he searched for Linda again but to no avail, so he decided to call the police.
His reason for calling the police was nothing else but theft and assaulting someone.

The theft was because he accused Linda of stealing his bank card, while the assault was directly attributed to Linda causing Scarlet to go into a coma.
The police quickly launched an investigation and after reviewing airport surveillance. footage, they discovered that George was the one who had dropped Linda off at the airport.
As a result, George was also interrogated.
“She threatened me into taking her to the airport, I had no choice. I know I was wrong now.” George couldn’t believe the police had uncovered this, and he deeply regretted his actions.
If only I hadn’t called the police!
The policeman who interrogated him took note of his words and asked, “Can you explain your relationship with Linda?”
“I, 1…” George dared not speak recklessly and could only stutter, “I haven’t known her for long. She tried to seduce me for my money and even attempted to ruin my family. In the end, she even got physical with my wife.”
“Is that so? Our investigation reveals that she’s your mistress, and you’ve been supporting her financially.” The police directly exposed his true nature.
George argued, “I was deceived by her into being with her. I haven’t broken any laws. I’m also a victim. Why are you asking me this?”
“Since you’re saying Linda is the one who assaulted someone, please recall the situation from that day in detail.”
Upon hearing this, George began to make up his story and shift all the blame onto Linda.
By the time he finished speaking, he was already sweating profusely.
Even though he thought he hadn’t said anything too incriminating, he couldn’t help but
about being found out.

“Do you remember any other details? Like which hand Linda used when she attacked?”
“How would I know which hand!?” George’s eyes darted around, his heart racing.
“Just try to think about it. It’s okay if you remember incorrectly.”
“Her right hand, I was standing to her left, and she used her right hand to push my wife,” George recalled the scene from that day, mentally swapping his and Linda positions, then. repeated it.

After speaking, he still felt uneasy and asked in a low voice, “Can we withdraw the report. now? I can settle this privately with her, so you won’t be bothered.”
“No.” The police officer closed the written record book, stood up and solemnly addressed George, “We currently suspect that you are the one who resorted to violence. If the final result proves this, you will not only face charges of assault but also of making a false report.”
“What? It wasn’t me! It was Linda! How could I possibly hit my wife?” George panicked, stood

“You’re free to go. We’ll do our best to locate Linda. If you’re innocent, we won’t falsely accuse you. Just wait for our updates.”
George was escorted out of the police station, but his tense nerves remained unrelaxed.
He deeply regretted making the report, but there was no turning back. Even if he withdrew the report, it was already too late.
Because the police suspected him, he had to find a way to clear his name.
But now, Linda was nowhere to be found, and he hated her more than ever.
Early the next morning, at Springgate Estates.
Angela woke up to see Jonathan sitting beside her. She rubbed her eyes and asked for the
time.
“What time is it?”
“It’s 8:30 a.m.”
“Huh? Then why haven’t you gone to the company yet, Jonathan?” Angela quickly sat up and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“I’m actually taking the day off today to spend time with you.”
Feeling regretful from yesterday, Jonathan decided to leave Simon at the company today and strictly instructed him not to disturb him even if there were urgent matters.
