Chapter 360 Why Are You Here?
“What’s wrong with us?” Fanny looked down from the balcony at the vast estate of the Collier Family. She admired it greatly and eagerly anticipated becoming the mistress there.
Although; she didn’t feel loved by Yaxley, she was aware that Yaxley would take responsibility for their past actions, which was sufficient for her.
If she could secure Mrs. Collier’s position in the Collier Family, even without taking direct action, there would be plenty of people willing to teach Angela a lesson!
Christopher was unaware of Fanny’s thoughts. After he hesitated for a while, he finally spoke, “The Collier Family won’t agree to Yaxley marrying you. Fanny. Why not come back to me?
As she was taken aback. Fanny also recalled Tyra’s disapproval of her after Christopher’s reminder,
Just as she was about to respond, a car drove into the estate. When she thought it might be Yaxley’s father returning, she had no desire to continue the conversation with Christopher.
While it was true that Tyra disliked her, the decision–makers in the Collier Family were not limited to just Tyra. She might even win favor with Jacob.
“I have to go now, let’s talk later.” With that, Fanny hung up the phone abruptly.
On the other end, Christopher stared at the disconnected phone as he felt dejected.
He walked towards the school with a wry smile, only to receive a call from Michael.
“How did it go today? Although Jane’s family isn’t wealthy, they still hold some influence in the capital,” Michael inquired about Christopher’s blind date.
Christopher shrugged nonchalantly. “It was a disappointment.”
“Another disappointment?” Michael, with his hair that turned white from worry, assumed Christopher was feeling disheartened by the failed blind date, so he suggested, “I will find someone else for you to meet
tomorrow.
“No, I don’t want to go on blind dates anymore, Christopher stated firmly.
In recent days, he had been on blind dates with several girls, but the girls in the capital were very selective.
The girl he met today, Jane Coolidge, was relatively mild compared to others. There was a girl before who bluntly stated that he was nothing.
“Why are you refusing to go on blind dates? Michael became serious and asked, “Do you understand the current situation of the company back home?”
He still held hope that Christopher could find a mutually beneficial partner in the capital while avoiding trouble. How could Christopher give up now?
T…” Christopher struggled to convey his bitterness but resolutely said, “Dad, I will handle it. I don’t want to meet anyone else in the coming days.

He was aware that his relationship with Sophia had tarnished the Sanders Family’s reputation in Riverdon, and he also knew that the situation of the Sanders Group was more critical than ever.
“Not interested in meeting anyone else? Suddenly, Michael had an idea, “There is another option, you
should consider it.”
Christopher asked him to elaborate.
After a brief pause, Michael suggested, “Sophia has arrived in the capital.”
Christopher questioned, “What does Sophia have to do with my presence in the capital?”
Impatiently, Michael reminded Christopher, “It concerns you! Despite the troubles between the Martinez family and ours, Sophia still has feelings for you. If you’re not interested in meeting anyone else, you could try to reconcile with Sophia and bring her into the family through marriage!”
One of the reasons Michael had initially encouraged Christopher to interact with Sophia was because she was the only daughter of the Martinez family. Marrying Sophia would mean gaining access to the family’s wealth, which was a highly lucrative opportunity.
Christopher fell silent.
Michael gently advised him, “Take your time to think it over. You can either try to win back Sophia or continue going on blind dates until you find success.”
At the Collier Estate, a car pulled in slowly. Angela sat beside Ava as she listened to her talk, but she sensed that something was off.
Ava had informed the butler in advance, who was waiting at the front gate. When she learned that Sophia was visiting, he had arranged for someone to pick her up.
Upon their arrival, the butler respectfully greeted Angela and Ava, then informed them. “Miss, the person picking up Miss Martinez will be here shortly.”
Ava nodded and inquired, “Where’s my mother?”
The butler led the way and explained, “Mr. Yaxley had returned with someone and Mrs. Collier is upset. I’m sure seeing you would elevate her mood.”
“Yaxley brought someone home? His friend?” Ava wa puzzled as her brother rarely did so, not even close friends like Mobius.
What made her brother change?
The butler hesitated, “I…” He was confused as that was the reason Mrs. Collier was upset. He was unsure whether to refer to Fanny as Yaxley’s friend or girlfriend due to their disagreement over her identity.
Ava, unfazed by the butler’s uncertainty, took Angela towards the front door.
“Angela, my brother is home, so there’s no need to be nervous since there is someone you reassured Angela as they walked.
know,” Ava
Angela smiled and accustomed to Ava’s guidance.

Earlier, while shopping. Ava had held her hand throughout which made them quite familiar with each other.
As they entered, Tyra greeted them warmly as she recognized Angela as Ava’s savior.
Ava introduced. “Angela is a fellow university student with Yaxley, they’re both training in Northland.” Tyra praised Angela as she said, “Yaxley brought a friend too. Let me call him down.”
Angela nodded. But when she saw Fanny coming down behind Yaxley, she froze. No wonder she had a feeling of dread, Fanny and Sophia was about to meet.
Yaxley was about to greet Angela as the butler led Sophia through the doors.
“You!” Sophia’s expression changed when she saw Fanny. “Why are you here?”
Fanny’s unexpected presence in Ava’s home as she stood beside Yaxley, in her best friend Ava’s home, was a shock to Sophia.
Fanny, taken aback by Sophia’s reaction, suggested, “S–Sophia, we shall discuss our misunderstanding privately later.”
Despite her initial reluctance, Fanny hoped to resolve the situation with Sophia without bringing up the Riverdon incident.
