Chapter 312 1 Only See Her as a Sister
Springgate Estates passed a peaceful afternoon.
Meanwhile, Fanny was incredibly busy. After arguing with Sophia in the coffee shop in the afternoon, she headed straight to the Sanders Family.
Fanny hailed a cab. She still had a noticeable slap mark on her face, and her clothes were equally disheveled, with coffee stains from the earlier incident.
But the thought of Sophia’s distraught appearance made Fanny feel a sense of
Although Sophia had initiated the conflict, it was Fanny who emerged victorious.
And she wasn’t going to let Sophia win just this once.
tisfaction.
With a visible slap mark on her face, all she had to do was find Christopher and complain to him. Christopher would definitely not continue associating with Sophia.
As Fanny thought about how to handle Sophia when she arrived at the Sanders Family, she was unaware that the Sanders family was not at peace either.
Christopher followed Michael downstairs, where Michael sternly instructed him to apologize sincerely.
Although Christopher felt uncomfortable, he agreed earnestly.
When they saw Carles downstairs, Christopher politely greeted him and then sincerely apologized.
“Mr. Martinez, this matter is my fault. I didn’t consider Sophia’s feelings.”
“Of course. It’s your fault. What do you mean you didn’t consider Sophia’s feelings? It seems to me like you didn’t even have Sophia in your eyes.” Carlos‘ anger hadn’t subsided, and he reprimanded Christopher sternly.
Christopher hurriedly continued to apologize and soothe him.
Carlos held up a photo and demanded an explanation.
Christopher quickly recounted what had happened that day, not leaving out any details.
However, he referred to Fanny as someone who was like a sister to him rather than emphasizing any romantic involvement.

“I really only see her as a sister now,” Christopher affirmed. “Mr. Martinez, you can check the surveillance footage from that day. I left the hotel room shortly after escorting Fanny there.”
He hadn’t stayed long in Fanny’s hotel room that day because her mood was very low, and he had comforted her briefly before leaving.
Reflecting on the incident, Christopher felt a sense of relief that he had departed early. Otherwise, things might have been unclear.
Mainly, he didn’t want Fanny’s reputation to be tarnished.
“That night, I went to see Fanny because her mother had become vegetative, and she was too distraught to go home. She asked me to go out to ask for help finding a doctor,” Christopher explained.
Carlos listened to Christopher’s explanation with suspicion.
He could see his daughter’s fondness for Christopher. But even if Sophia liked him, he wouldn’t let her marry Christopher if he was involved with someone else.
However, if the situation was as Christopher described, he could reluctantly allow Christopher to make amends and then smooth things over.
“Are you telling the truth? I’ll have someone check right now.” It was simple and quick to check the surveillance footage since they knew which hotel it was.
Upon hearing Carlos‘ words, Christopher breathed a sigh of relief and quickly assured him before sending someone to check the surveillance.
Soon, the surveillance footage confirmed Christopher’s account. He had left the hotel room. less than two minutes after escorting Fanny in.
Seeing the situation casing somewhat, Michael hurriedly said, “Now that everything is clear. The marriage alliance can’t just be abandoned. Many people in Riverdon know about our two families‘ affairs. Mr. Martinez, do you agree?”
After some thought, Carlos said, “Sophia likes you. Don’t let her down.”
Christopher quickly agreed.
Carlos continued, “Even if you see Fanny as a sister now, we don’t want to speculate about her intentions. Can you do one thing? Cut off contact with that Fanny.”
Christopher’s expression changed, and he was about to refuse when Michael suddenly said, “Mr. Martinez, what are you saying? Even if you don’t mention this matter, we will still make

him cut off contact with Fanny.”
Seeing Carlos‘ expression improve slightly, Michael signaled Teresa, who was beside him.
Teresa quickly grasped his signal and spoke gently, “In fact, Christopher had already cut ties with that woman. It was she who kept pestering Christopher. Christopher has always been a kind child. When he heard about her mother’s accident, he immediately wanted to help, but he was deceived by Fanny.”
Teresa had always been dissatisfied with Fanny and didn’t hold back in narrating how she had been entangling Christopher.
After listening to Teresa’s words, Carlos looked at Christopher and asked him to promise.
Michael and Teresa fixed their gaze on Christopher, who reluctantly gave his word of
assurance.
“I promise. I will never contact Fanny again.”
In his heart, he thought that he would never be caught again.
Carlos felt much more satisfied now and thought about his daughter still being heartbroken at home. He said, “You, come back with me to the Martinez Family and comfort Sophia properly. Since she is in a relationship with you, you should take care of her and treat her well. She has been crying all day at home, and you didn’t even show up.”
Christopher didn’t want to go. But in the end, he agreed and said, “Mr. Martinez, wait for me. I’ll go change clothes.”
He had to go and comfort someone. He couldn’t just go casually.
Carlos agreed and felt stifled inside the house. He went to the yard to wait.
He tried calling Sophia to inform her to be prepared at home to welcome him.
But the call wouldn’t go through.
As he was about to try again, he caught sight of a figure outside the Sanders Family gate, peering inside.
The person outside the gate was none other than Fanny, who had just arrived in a cab.
Fanny was solely focused on finding Christopher at the Sanders Family residence to vent her grievances and seek sympathy. Still, she didn’t expect to encounter Carlos as she knocked on the door, preparing to leave.

She didn’t recognize Carlos and thought he was a member of the Sanders Family. As soon as she saw him, she started pleading. “Can you help me call Christopher?”
As Fanny spoke, she covered half of her face with her hand and pitifully hung her head.
Carlos didn’t immediately recognize her as the person in the photo. He spoke to her calmly. “Christopher is changing clothes. He is about to leave. Do you need to speak with him?”
Upon hearing that Christopher was about to leave, Fanny panicked and hastily said, “I urgently need to speak with him. Can you please relay a message for me?”
She was too anxious when she spoke and didn’t continue covering her face. Carlos saw her face clearly.
Carlos‘ expression immediately changed.
“Are you Fanny?”
The person they had just been discussing had unexpectedly shown up at their doorstep, and she seemed quite familiar with the place.
Fanny appeared puzzled and nodded.
“I’ll

However, he didn’t go to call Christopher. Instead, he informed the Sanders Family that he was leaving early, then discreetly retreated to a corner of the yard while no one was paying attention
