“I didn’t expect such a dramatic event to have occurred between you two before. Ava sighed, seizing the moment as Yaxley escorted Fanny away.
Tyra ushered Angela and Sophia to sit down, asking, “Could you tell me about Fanny? Yaxley seems to have taken a liking to her for some reason.”
Angela glanced at Sophia. If we discuss Fanny again, it’s almost as if we’re reopening Sophia’s old wounds.
Realizing that now was not the appropriate me to delve into this matter, Tyra swiftly changed the topic.
Sophia took a deep breath. Her emotions had been on a rollercoaster ride earlier, and she still felt a bit lightheaded.
“Mrs. Collier, I will make time to speak with Yaxley,” she declared. She had come to Northland primarily to unwind, so she couldn’t afford to dwell too much on other matters. However, witnessing Fanny deceive Yaxley was something she couldn’t ignore.
Tyra nodded. “Alright.”
She then inquired about Angela and Sophia’s food preferences so she could incorporate them into the dinner preparations.
Ava observed everyone chatting happily and decided to join in.
The room was filled with joy when Yaxley entered.
Meanwhile, after Fanny was escorted home, she immediately contacted Dylan.
“Mr. Leigh, Sophia has arrived in Northland,” Her tone turned hostile when she mentioned Sophia, as if she wanted to tear Sophia apart.
Dylan was unaware of who Sophia was, prompting Fanny to provide an explanation.
“Fanny, I cannot assist you with this at the moment.” The chaotic music in Dylan’s background ceased, and he continued. “I had previously invested a significant sum to have someone attack Yoanna. Yet, you have made no progress with Yaxley. How do you expect me to react?”
Fanny couldn’t help but lament, “But Yoanna was unharmed after the attack!”
She desired more than just a simple leg fracture for Yoanna.
Dylan retorted, “Unharmed? She will be confined to the hospital for at least two weeks. Isn’t that enough? As for you, you must get engaged to Yaxley within the next two weeks!”
Having some business dealings that required leveraging the Collier Family’s influence, Dylan had to find a way through Fanny.
Gritting her teeth, Fanny revealed what Sophia had told Yaxley about her actions in Riverdon. This revelation alarmed Dylan.
However, Fanny was the one who bore the brunt of the consequences. Angrily scolding her, Dylan

demanded. “Why didn’t you intervene? And how
bas ties to the Coller Family? Why didn’t is it that the person you’ve crossed paths with previously
you mention this earlier?”
“I was unaware as well.. Fanny continued to plead, “Mr. Leigh, please assist me once more. Help me deal
with her
If cavumstances in Riverdon had been different, she would have wished for Sophia’s demise. Now that Sophia had ventured to Northland alone, she didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
“Do you think I’m a miracle worker? Even if this needs to be done, you must handle it yourself!” Dylan wasn’t naive. If he wanted to control Fammy, he couldn’t afford to give her such leverage.
Suggesting that Fanny take matters into her own hands was a way to provoke her. He didn’t anticipate. Fanny acrecing immediately.
To Dylan’s surprise. Fanny hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.
“Alright, Mr. Leigh. As long as you assist me, I will do whatever you tell me to, Fanny declared eagerly. As she pondered Sophia’s imposing demeanor earlier, she felt a strong desire to confront her immediately!
She was determined to settle both past and present scores at once!
“Okay, wait for me to make some arrangements. Dylan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Fanny wanted to say something else, but Dylan ended the call abruptly.
As she stared at the disconnected phone. Fanny quickly regained her composure and dialed Christopher’s
umber
Christopher answered Fanny’s call almost immediately.
However, upon hearing Fanny crying as soon as the call connected, Christopher felt a pang.
of sadness.
“Fanny, what’s the matter?” Christopher asked with concern.
Through tears. Fanny managed to say, “Christopher, Sophia is in Northland, she… she…”
Christopher had already been informed about Sophia’s presence in Northland by Michael, but he was surprised by how quickly Fanny found out.
Anxiously, he inquired. “What has Sophia done to you?”
Assuming that Sophia had mistreated Fanny, Christopher was taken aback when Fanny did not confirm his. suspicions
Before she explained. Fanny hesitated and asked. “Christopher, did you already know that Sophia was in Northland!‘
Noticing Christopher’s lack of surprise, Fanny deduced that he had prior knowledge of Sophia’s arrival.
Despite this. Christopher had not informed her!
If Christopher had informed her as soon as he learned about Sophia’s presence in Northland, perhaps she could have avoided encountering Sophia at the Collier Residence!

Sure enough, men are not reliable!
“I just found out as well. My dad told me. Fanny, I apologize for not telling you sooner,” Christopher quickly reassured her upon sensing her disappointment.
Though sti!! upset. Fanny spoke softly and pitifully.
“I didn’t blame you, Christopher. But did Mr. Sanders inform you about Sophia’s arrival to encourage you to be with her?” she asked.
In response, Christopher hastily clarified, “Fanny, I have no intention of being with her! My heart belongs to you, Fanny.”
Noticing a softer tone in Fanny’s words compared to their earlier meeting, Christopher saw an opportunity to win her back that he couldn’t resist.
Fanny sighed before making a request, “Christopher, could you do me a favor?”
“Don’t mention it, Fanny. I would do anything for you, even give my life,” Christopher blurted out without
hesitation.
“Christopher, please don’t say that. I just want you to tell Sophia that I was unaware of your relationship at that time… she whispered.
“Well…” Christopher hesitated.
Fanny pressed further, “Do you still have feelings for her, Christopher?”
“No, Fanny. I promise I will tell her,” Christopher quickly assured her.
Relieved, Fanny urged Christopher to act promptly, “Christopher, why don’t you call her now?”
If she wasn’t concerned about raising suspicion, she would have asked Christopher to put the call on speakerphone.
Her true intention was not to inform Sophia, but to prove her innocence to Yaxley.
Thinking that Fanny wanted to test his resolve, Christopher agreed without hesitation.
After ending the call, Christopher dialed. Sophia’s number.
At that moment, Sophia was seated at the dining table with others, and the atmosphere was less tense than before.
When the phone rang, Sophia answered quietly.
Upon hearing Christopher’s voice/she was tempted to hang up, but he quickly spoke up.
“Miss Martinez, please don’t cause trouble for Fanny. She was unaware of our relationship at the time!” Although Sophia did not put the call on speakerphone, Christopher’s words were loud enough for everyone to hear.
“You’re lying-” Sophia’s expression darkened, ready to retort, but Christopher abruptly ended the call.

In the ensuing silence. Angela spoke up. He’s lying Fanny is fully aware of everything and I can attest to
that.”
