Chapter 371 You Should Be Thankful That Nothing Happened
Yaxley gave Fanny a cold glance and inquired, “Nothing transpired that night, did it?”
Fanny paled, caught off guard by Yaxley’s question. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Yaxley furrowed his brow as he observed her. Unable to discern Fanny’s expression, he didn’t try to understand her feelings. After a moment, he grew impatient and pressed. “Are you not going to tell me?”
Fanny was startled by his tone, lifted her head resolutely, and inquired. “If I confess, will you release me? While I was involved in those activities, most of it was at Dylan’s behest!” Moreover, Dylan is also responsible for Yoanna’s car accident. Since Dylan won’t be free for a while, he should shoulder all the blame!
“Release you?” Yaxley frowned. “No one is attempting to bail you out?” He thought of Fanny’s former lover. Christopher. Although he didn’t know much about their relationship, he suspected Christopher might find a way to secure Fanny’s release.
Fanny clenched her teeth in frustration. Seeing Yaxley’s oblivious expression, she realized the subordinates had acted against his wishes.
Yaxley had no intention of blocking anyone specifically from bailing her out. It was the subordinates who had imposed such a rule to appease
him.
Joseph has been here before, but the police denied my bail request, Fanny said pitifully, gazing at Yaxley. “Yaxley, I was deceived by Dylan before. I won’t make the same mistake again. Please release me.”
Yaxley coldly cut her off. “Answer my question first. Fanny was accustomed to playing the victim, so he needed to be cautious around her. He had no desire to further involve himself with her, but he also had no intention of causing harm.
“I… Fanny bit her lip. She was unsure whether to tell the truth or not. That night. Yaxley had been heavily sedated and was incapable of doing anything, even if she had wanted to. However, she feared he would walk away if she admitted that nothing had occurred between them. After all, she had been manipulating him all along, and he had assumed that something had transpired between them when he woke up.
“Nothing happened?” Yaxley questioned bluntly. His voice was cold and abrupt, startling Fanny, who was still deliberating. In the end, she couldn’t withstand the pressure and nodded.
“Hmph, you should be thankful that nothing occurred, Yaxley said coldly before turning and departing. Before leaving, he had a quick word with the police officers,
Incidentally, Mr. Louise was also present. He respectfully sent Yaxley off before reprimanding Mr. Leofric, who had been on duty the previous night. “What’s the issue? Can you directly say it can’t be bailed out? Can’t you think of any other reasons?”
Mr. Leofric asked nervously, “What should we do now, Mr. Louise? Mr. Collier instructed us not to cause any problems because of his connections.”
Mr. Louise raised his hand and patted Mr. Leofric’s head. “Are you daft? Allow the individual seeking to bail her out to come and gather more money, understood?”
Mr. Leofric nodded, and Mr.Louise departed. Once Mr. Louise had left, Mr. Leofric promptly arranged for Fanny to contact the person who could secure her release.

This time. Fanny reached out to Joseph directly Joseph had taken a leave from the hospital and was attempting to devise a solution with Christopher by his side, equally perplexed. Just as they were fretting and at a loss Joseph received a call from the police station. Upon receiving the news, the two rushed to the police station immediately. Upon learning the required bail amount, Christopher didn’t hesitate and paid it immediately. Christopher’s enthusiasm toward the situation made Joseph view him more favorably.
two had previously brainstormed out of necessity, if Joseph could find a way to get Fanny
out aloe, there would be no need to consult with Christopher.
After completing the process. Fanny was finally released. Joseph she saw him again and embraced him, tears of joy streaming down her face.
Joseph soothingly patted Fanny. It’s okay, Fanny, let’s go home.”
Fanny shook her head Dylan gave me where I was staying I don’t want to return.”
Upon hearing Dylan’s name. Joseph frowned in disgust and said. “Well, you can stay with me. I have a place. Although Joseph’s place was a bit remote, the cost of living in the Northland was high. With Zacharias and Scarlet spending money at the hospital, he would naturally be more frugal.
Christopher couldn’t even get a word in while listening to the conversation. He could only follow along with a bitter smile
Before the three could leave the police station, a police officer caught up to them. “Fanny, wait”
Fanny was startled, leaning into Joseph as she looked at the approaching officer. She was genuinely terrified of these people, afraid they would lock her up again. Although the food and drink inside were not had her spirit was tormented
“Is there anything else, officer?” Joseph asked, protecting Fanny.
“Dylan, who was brought in with her, wants to see her. the officer said.
Upon hearing it was Dylan. Fanny quickly shook her head. ‘I don’t want to see him.”
The officer didn’t inest, saying. Then let’s go. Ive delivered the message.” The Leigh Family was in a precarious situation, so it was already a relief that he could deliver this message. He didn’t have the time to take Fanny back to talk to Dylan forcibly forcefully.
Fanny breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but she felt a sense of foreboding as if something bad was about to happen. But she didn’t want to see Dylan again. She wished she could stay far away. It wasn’t intil they got in the car that Fanny’s anxious heart finally settled down.
Christopher drove in the front seat, hardly saying a few words. Fanny and Joseph didn’t pay much attention to him and he didn’t even have a chance to speak. Joseph sat beside Fanny, soothing her with a gentle voice. Then, he said they would move her luggage to where he lived and take her to the hospital to see Zacharias and Matavia. Zacharias is in poor health. I haven’t told him about your situation, but now that you’re out, you can see him” Joseph sighed.
Fanny nodded obediently and said. “I know.”
Christopher hesitated in the front seat but ultimately chose not to speak.
Joseph had everything arranged perfectly, but plans can always be disrupted. Before the car reached the villa Dylan had arranged for Fanny, he received a call from the hospital leadership. Even though he was on

leave, he had to be ready to be called back at any moment. Now that the call had come and the hospital needed him, he had to return immediately.
As he answered the phone, Fanny was beside him and immediately understood Joseph’s predicament. She kindly said, “Joseph, go ahead. I can handle the move myself.”
Christopher finally found an opportunity to speak and said, “I’ll help Fanny move while you’re gone.”
Although Joseph was still worried, he had to leave. He could only give a few instructions to Fanny and then ask Christopher to pull over so he could get out and take an Uber.
As the car set off again, only Fanny and Christopher remained inside. Christopher tried to ease the tension
with Fanny and awkwardly reassured her. “Fanny, don’t worry, I’ll hel
you.
Fanny, who had previously paid little attention to Christopher, suddenly realized that he was still wearing a mask after Joseph had left. She inquired with suspicion. “Christopher, is your allergy improving?”
