The bodyguard’s words were straightforward and menacing. Shocked by the predicament, Christopher immediately grasped that he was in danger! A shiver ran down his spine, sending chills all over his body.
“Don’t think I don’t understand what you’re trying to say!” Despite Christopher’s efforts to maintain composure, a subtle flicker of uncertainty betrayed his expression. After a moment, he exclaimed, “Jonathan won’t abandon me like this.”
“Mr. Lawson mentioned that if the Shelton Family comes looking for you again, Mr. Sanders, you’re all alone,” the bodyguard said, ending the conversation.
Christopher felt drained of energy and stood in a daze. Disregarding his dumbfounded state, the bodyguard and another lifted him and began guiding him out.
With everything packed and tickets purchased, all that remained was to ensure he boarded the plane on time. Upon reaching Riverdon. Christopher would be closely monitored to prevent further disturbances. from his previous actions in Northland. It was not until he got into the car that he snapped back to reality, out of his daze, and realized his crucial mistake, “I can’t go back now. I need to find Fanny.”
It finally dawned on him that he could not contact Fanny, and Joseph’s ambiguous reply only added to his unease.
As he reached for the door handle, the bodyguard stopped him in time, politely but coldly stating, “Mr. Sanders, please remain calm.”
Annoyed, Christopher reclined in his seat, muttering curses under his breath at the robust arms obstructing his view. Resigned to his inability to act, he surrendered and shut his eyes for the duration of the journey.

Despite Christopher showing no signs of resistance, the bod: guards on either side of him remained vigilant and showed no signs of relaxation. However, the atmosphere in the car had significantly calmed down compared to before.
While Christopher stayed relatively composed during the return trip to Riverdon, Joseph’s anxiety mounted steadily. Despite his best attempts, he came up empty–handed in his search for information about Fanny. Fanny had vanished after leaving the hospital, and he was the last person to see her. If Christopher could not provide any valuable information, Joseph would be clueless and helpless about where to search for Fanny!
“What should I do? What should I do?”
Joseph scratched his head, frustrated as he sat on the dirty, uneven steps outside the hospital. Fearful that Scarlet and Zacharias would discover Fanny’s disappearance, he had fabricated an excuse to take time off alone. The idea of a stranger answering her phone filled him with rage.
Growing infuriated, he attempted to call her multiple times, only to be met with the voicemail prompt each time.
I can only take it step by step to find her at this point,” Joseph muttered anxiously as he stood up.

The occupants emerged, a male and female couple in their 30s puzzled by the commotion, “Where’s Fanny? Where are you hiding her?” confused, they promptly escorted him off the premises.
Joseph was ousted, feeling utterly defeated.
The sky had darkened.
He had tirelessly visited several locations for hours and had yet to succeed. He sat forlornly on the ground outside the villa, clutching his cell phone. He had scoured numerous places, but none gave away a trace of Fanny. He even contemplated involving the authorities. However, the thought of her potentially facing mistreatment held him back. He searched repeatedly, hoping to find her at some point.
Despite the thought, remembering his unsuccessful efforts in the past few hours made it difficult for him not to feel discouraged. Unfortunately, he and the Kins Family had little influence in Northland. With Fanny missing, he could only do so much and search on his own.
Suddenly, Joseph thought of someone who could help him. His eyes orightened, and he quickly dialed a number. As the familiar tone sounded. oseph realized that Angela had already blocked him. He chuckled bitterly. lanced at the darkening sky, and decided to give it another try.
Tanny was already pitiful, so what harm would it do for her to help a little? He hought.

someone was thinking of her.
Before this, Angela and Jonathan had returned to the hotel, indulging in a cozy cuddle session before sharing a bath. They wrapped up just as Jonathan’s food delivery arrived at their door.
“Wow,” said Angela as Jonathan carried her in his strong arms to the chair. Upon seeing the dishes on the table, she could not help but salivate,
“Are you hungry? Go ahead and eat.” Jonathan’s lips curled into a loving smile as he sat beside Angela and helped her serve some food.
Angela smiled. “You should eat too.”
Earlier, when they were with Florence, they hardly touched any dishes during their meal outside. ‘So, it’s not just me who’s hungry. Jonathan is probably hungry, too,” she thought.
Before the sunset, the two of them finished their dinner. After cleaning up, it was already evening. Angela thought about the day’s events, feeling restless even though it was not too late.
Jonathan hugged Angela around the waist. “What are you thinking about?”
I’m thinking about how amazing you are.” Angela sighed with admiration. Without any hidden meaning, she said it directly.
Nonetheless, a note of apprehension tinged her voice. Jonathan’s exceptional qualities made him the target of envy for many, particularly Cassandra and Florence–individuals far from ordinary.

While he appreciated compliments from various sources, the praise he cherished most came from the individual he held dear.

Angela nodded. “Yes.”
After admitting it, she could not help but sigh. “You are such a womanizer.”
“Don’t worry,” Jonathan reassured her, “I only have eyes for you.”
Jonathan’s unexpected words were a relief, ultimately alleviating Angela’s worries. She could only deepen her feelings for him and surrender herself to his embrace.
