Chapter 293 Desperate To Return Home
James observed George’s ever–changing expression and stated bluntly, “Since you have no intention of urging the police, I’ll do that for you.”
“I don’t need you to get involved!” George snapped. His agitation nearly tore his wound. He took a sharp breath.
If James intervened, he would surely uncover something from the police.
Even though George wasn’t afraid of James, he didn’t want to further complicate matters.
He was the one who pushed Scarlet, and he was the one who reported to the police. He didn’t anticipate that, despite Linda’s erratic behavior, he would still be under suspicion by the police.
If he had known that Linda was wandering the streets in a deranged state, he wouldn’t have bothered reporting to the police to find her.
In essence, George was now consumed by hatred and regret.
When Joseph noticed that James was about to speak, he halted him. “James, Dad is injured. Let’s discuss Mom’s situation another day.”
James frowned, but complied.
George outwardly sneered, but inwardly felt relieved.

Meanwhile, after leaving Zacharias‘ residence, Angela didn’t head straight home.
Joseph’s words had indeed affected her. Despite appearing strong and composed, she felt uneasy inside.
Passing by a park bench, Angela noticed a pile of fallen leaves on the seat. Suddenly, a strange pang hit her nose.
She felt desperate to return home.
However, a voice suddenly called out from behind her. “Angela? Is that you?”
Angela turned around and met Britney’s surprised gaze.
Seeing Angela, Britney approached with a warm and friendly smile, saying, “Angela, it’s been a while since I last saw you. You seem to have lost weight.”

Her familiar demeanor caused Angela to frown.
“Do you have something to say?”
It didn’t seem like Britney had come specifically to see her, as she appeared genuinely
her. surprised upon encountering
“I’m looking for Fanny. I couldn’t find her, but I coincidentally ran into you. Do you know
where she is?”
Angela responded, I’m not sure. I’m not close to her, as you’re aware.”
Britney stomped her foot. “Can you contact her? I need to speak with her.”
She was detained for a few days for the previous incident.
The first thing she did upon her release was confront Fanny. After all, it was really an accident that she stabbed Fanny at the time, so the wound wasn’t actually severe.
Also, Fanny was her daughter. She could have chosen to forgive. Yet she disregarded their relationship and had the police detain her for several days.
If someone hadn’t bailed her out, she might still be in custody.
“I know you’re not close with her. I just thought I’d ask.” Britney didn’t want to provoke Angela
She had heard that Angela now held some influence, unlike before, so she sought to flatter her.
Angela grew irritated by Britney’s gaze. “I suggest you ask the Kins Family.”
Recently, Fanny hadn’t caused her any trouble, and she had almost forgotten about this bothersome individual. Yet Britney kept bringing Fanny up in front of her.
“The Kins Family?” Britney hesitated upon hearing Angela’s suggestion.
The Kins Family cared for Fanny and would undoubtedly know her whereabouts. However, Britney sought to settle a score with Fanny, so she couldn’t let the Kins Family find out.
“Yes, they can certainly help you contact her.”
After saying this, Angela was about to depart, but Britney suddenly tugged at her.
“Is there something else?”

“Well, Angela, I was just released, and I don’t have any money on me. Do you have any spare cash that you could lend me?”
She asked in a friendly tone, but Angela knew that she probably wouldn’t return.
Angela frowned. “What about the money I gave you last time?”
One week after Mike’s funeral, she had given Britney some money. It had only been a few days, and now Britney was reaching out for more.
“It’s at home. I’m going to find the Kins Family now. I need to have some cash with me, right?”
As Britney spoke, she kept eyeing Angela’s bag.
Frowning, Angela took out a few bills and handed them to her. “This is all I have. Don’t come looking for me again in the future.”
She didn’t like Britney, but compared to Scarlet, Britney didn’t seem as annoying.
Perhaps because she wasn’t Britney’s biological daughter, her expectations of Britney were already low.
And although Britney could be sharp–tongued, she didn’t seem to have much malice most of the time.
After giving Britney some money, Angela walked away.
‘Britney happily clutched the few bills in her hand. Watching Angela’s figure, she said, “Bye, Angela. Be careful on your way.”
After receiving the money, she didn’t dare go directly to the Kins Family. Instead, she first relaxed at a spa center..
She had always been a big spender, and the money in her hand couldn’t stay for long.
It wasn’t until she had a good time that Britney continued to call Fanny.
It seemed like Fanny had blocked her. Britney tried many times but couldn’t get through.
“This ungrateful daughter!” Britney cursed and hung up the phone in anger, leaving the spa.
center.
She didn’t want to go back to Lynch’s village. After all, the incident had caused quite a stir and spread in the village.

Now, going back, she felt embarrassed.
She decided to wait for a while before going back. After some thought, she headed toward the Kins Residence.
However, Britney didn’t expect that there was no one at home. She pressed the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered.
There was no sound inside the gate, and it looked particularly deserted.
“Could they be deliberately avoiding me?” Britney observed the scene inside the gate, trying to find someone.
Someone passed by and saw her ringing the doorbell. “Are you looking for the Kinses? They have all gone out.”
The neighbor drove away without waiting for Britney to ask further questions.
Watching the car drive away and smelling the gasoline, Britney felt tired and decided to sit on the ground next to the gate.
They have gone out, right? Then I’ll wait by the gate for them to come back and ask about Fanny’s whereabouts.
She was too embarrassed to go back to Lynch’s village now. Fanny was her daughter, so it couldn’t be wrong to look for her.
She waited for hours, and still no one came back. She felt a bit anxious and annoyed.

Gritting her teeth, Britney decided to continue waiting. They’ll eventually come back!
At this moment, Fanny and the Kinses had no idea that someone was waiting for them at the door. Fanny was detained, while James and Joseph had gone to the hospital because of George’s injury.
Zacharias was staying near the hospital to make it easier for Angela to treat his illness.
On the other hand, in a high–end shopping mall, Christopher stared at his phone for a long time, not understanding why Fanny suddenly ignored him.
“Christopher, do you think this looks good?” Sophia asked Christopher as she came out of the fitting room in a new outfit.
“It’s good,” Christopher commented after a casual glance.

Sophia noticed that he was not in a good mood. Seeing him frequently look at his phone, she
frowned and asked, “Christopher, do you have something on your mind?”
