Christopher was torn between his concern for Fanny’s health and hist worry that she might become anxious upon noticing the person following him, prompting him to deflect the topic and inquire why she hadn’t. returned home instead.
The excuse he gave to the bodyguard about needing his phone was simply a cover–up. After all, he already knew that his phone must have been left behind on Scarlet’s bed, so there was no need to involve Fanny.
“I was waiting for your return,” Fanny replied softly, casting a glance at the bodyguard standing nearby with a furrowed brow.
Christopher’s heart skipped a beat, dreading further inquiry from her. Yet, to his astonishment, she didn’t inquire about his return with someone else. Instead, she extended her hand towards him. Christopher was. surprised, perplexed by her behavior. It wasn’t until Fanny spoke again that he realized she was holding his phone.
“Chris, you left your phone on Mom’s bed, and there was a call for you,” Fanny informed him.
Christopher’s eyelids twitched.
After some consideration, Fanny decided to disclose the details of the call to him. Either way, it wouldn’t be long before he found out himself.
“I heard the phone ringing and didn’t want to wake Mom, so I answered it….”
Christopher jolted, alarmed by her words. He grabbed his phone to check his call history, and everything seemed to blur before him. Indeed, it was Jane who had called, and Fanny had answered.

Although there was nothing between him and Jane, and she most likely called him with the same intentions as before–to make him the laughing stock of her and her group of wealthy cronies–he didn’t want Fanny to know this. Besides, he was also worried that she would misunderstand.
As she watched him anxiously checking the call records, Fanny bit her lip, experiencing discomfort yet maintaining composure outwardly.
“Fanny, you didn’t misunderstand, didn’t you? Jane and I… You know how it is,” Christopher realized his slip–up and hastily put away his phone, cautiously questioning her.
Shaking her head, Fanny gritted her teeth as she relayed the address and room number mentioned by Jane, then decisively entered the hospital
room.
Christopher wanted to explain more, but the bodyguard didn’t give him the chance to. After ensuring he had his phone, the bodyguard swiftly blocked his path and escorted him out.
“Come quickly, we must find the lady, she’s waiting!” the bodyguard warned Christopher as he draed him away.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital room, Fanny was still mulling over his words.
What did he mean by “misunderstand“? Was she such an unreasonable person to him?
Feeling frustrated, Fanny closed the door behind her upon entering the room, waiting for Christopher to comfort her and explain everything. However, after waiting for a couple of minutes, the door remained shut. When she hurriedly turned around to open it again, she discovered that he was nowhere to be found.
Immediately, her rage ignited. How could he just leave so abruptly? Even

if she believed there was nothing untoward between him and Jane, was it acceptable for him to hastily leave to meet her?
When she thought about how Christopher had abruptly taken his leave. without a single word to her, she grew even more furious.
“Fanny, what’s the matter?” a concerned voice interrupted her thoughts.
At the voice, Fanny spun around with excitement, only to discover that it was Joseph who had hurried in, clearly out of breath.
“I’m fine, Joseph,” she quickly reassured him with a shake of her head, though it was clear that she was downcast.
Relieved, Joseph inquired, “How is Mom?”
He hurried back to the hospital after receiving a call from Fanny, who had only mentioned that Scarlet was emotionally agitated and had been sedated, but did not explain what had happened.
Fanny was speechless by his question as she had no prepared response. Although Christopher had promised to handle Joseph, he had left abruptly after receiving a phone call from another woman!
Seeing Fanny’s lost and helpless expression, Joseph felt sorry for her and did not press her for more information.
They entered the hospital room together. At the sight of Scarlet deep asleep, Joseph a sigh of relief.
“Fanny, go home and rest. I’ll take care of Mom here.”
Upon hearing this, Fanny hesitated and stood still, not leaving. immediately.

Meanwhile, after Christopher was dragged into a car by the bodyguard. Ast he thought about the address and room number of the club that Fanny had mentioned, he immediately knew it was Jane who had sent him there. However, he now had to deal with Florence and could not afford to pay attention to Jane.
As soon as he got in the car, he sent a text to Jane, informing her that he was settling some business for Miss Shelton. As long as Jane was tactful, she should know that Florence was not someone she could afford trifling with either.
Sure enough, Jane quickly ordered him to complete his task before he came to apologize to her.
Christopher breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt frustrated.
The car soon stopped outside Jonathan’s company, and he was taken to a nearby cafe.
When Florence saw him being brought in, she wasted no time and immediately demanded, “Ask Jonathan to come down.”
Although Christopher felt doubtful, he had no choice but to call Jonathan. Fortunately, the call went through. However, Jonathan flatly refused his request to come downstairs.
Jonathan Christopher was on the verge of tears.
Alas, he had been threatened by Florence, so he could not directly mention her.
“Is there anything else?” Jonathan’s tone was cold, as if he had not sensed his anxiety.
Christopher glanced at Florence. Seeing her furrow her brow and glared at him, he took a deep breath and said again. “Jonathan, it really is urgent.

Can you please come down?”
Being threatened by Florence counts as an urgent matter, right?
“I will relay your message to your father.” However, Jonathan’s response remained cold, and before Christopher could respond, he immediately hung up.
Christopher stood frozen in place, listening to the busy signal.
“Miss Shelton…” he braced himself as he turned his gaze to Florence. Afraid of receiving another scolding from her, he explained, “Jonathan must be busy with work.”
Florence scoffed coldly, already prepared for this outcome.
“Just give him another beating.” With a slight gesture of her hands, the people standing behind her instantly grabbed Christopher and began beating him.
The sudden attack caught him off guard, and the blows came too quickly for him to react, let alone break free.
“Ah! Don’t hit me, please…”
After the pain came cries and pleas, and yet the attackers showed no sign of stopping without Florence calling for them to.
It was not until Christopher’s face and body were covered in bruises that she lazily declared, “That’s enough.”
The attackers stopped, and Christopher, who had been held down onto the round for the beating, was once again shoved into a chair.
“Call him now and tell him you’ve been beaten up.”

Florence rubbed her chin, recalling the last time Christopher had contacted Jonathan after being beaten up. Now that Christopher had been beaten up again, he should be able to call him down this time, right?
Christopher was sore all over and his head was spinning, but when he heard Florence’s voice, he trembled in fear.
Seeing no response from him, Florence kicked him. He shuddered upon receiving the blow, and subsequently heard her telling him to call Jonathan down.
“O–Okay… M–Miss Shelton.” Christopher repeatedly agreed, his voice trembling and stuttering, but his hands would not cooperate. His fingers. pressed the keys, but he could not successfully dial the phone.
Florence, growing impatient, kicked him hard again and gave a signal to her henchman.
The henchman immediately snatched the phone from Christopher, found the last call record, and made another call.
