Chapter 446 Rescue Has Finally Arrived
To everyone’s surprise, Christopher remained silent on the other end.
As time passed, the silence began to feel suffocating, and Fanny felt as if she was in pure agony. Moreover, with the intense gazes of Jane and Florence fixed on her, she found it event more difficult to breathe.
“Chris?” she cautiously called out.
“Fanny, I’m here,” Christopher replied. However, as if he hadn’t heard her previous request, he continued, “I’m a little busy at the moment. I’ll get in touch with you later.”
Before Fanny could utter another word, he abruptly ended the call.
“Huh?” Fanny was left baffled.
She wasn’t the only one–even Jane was frozen in shock.
Florence let out a mocking laugh, her eyes scanning Jane as she remarked, “Is this what you meant when you said that he would definitely come back for her?”
At her words, Jane felt her knees going weak.
Fortunately, she managed to compose herself in time and stammered, “I–I don’t understand why Christopher is behaving like this…”
“Ha. Are you that cowardly?” Upon saying that, Florence waved her hand dismissively.
Although Jane was still anxious, she promptly heeded her instructions and left.
In her hurry, Fanny was left forgotten on the ground.
Fanny attempted to make herself inconspicuous, but Florence’s attention was soon drawn to her.
“Can you
convince Christopher to return to Northland?” Florence inquired.
She had contemplated the idea of bringing someone back from Riverdon, but the distance. was too great, and she found it quite troublesome even if she left things to her subordinates.
Fanny trembled slightly as she cautiously regarded Florence.
Although she was still unsure of Florence’s identity, she understood from Jane’s respectful behavior that she was not to be trifled with. In other words, Florence was someone she couldn’t afford to offend

However, her quick wit led her to discover a potential opportunity.
She timidly spoke up, asking in a cautious and somewhat simpering tone, “Miss Shelton, do you have an important matter to discuss with Christopher?
Florence raised an eyebrow while she studied Fanny, as if trying to discern her intentions.
Fanny allowed herself to be scrutinized, meeting Florence’s gaze despite her nervous. apprehension.
After some time, Florence grew disinterested and was about to speak when her subordinate handed her a document.
“Miss Florence, Ms. Coolidge left this behind before she departed. She mentioned she forgot to give it to you.” The man spoke solemnly, placing the document before Florence without averting his gaze.
Florence swept a bored glance at it. However, upon noticing that it contained Fanny’s information, she then turned her attention back to Fanny, who was still seated on the floor, and casually began perusing the document.
Fanny sat rigidly on the ground, puzzled as to why Florence suddenly disregarded her question and instead moved her focus onto the document. Afraid to provoke Florence, she could only lower her head quietly and wait.
Minutes ticked by, with Florence skimming through Fanny’s information. As the papers grew more tedious, she suddenly noticed that there was a sister named Angela in Fanny’s relationships section.
Hmm?
And there it was, Angela’s husband was Jonathan.
Well, what a small world…
Florence couldn’t help but smirk, finding it quite amusing.
Fanny sat on the ground, her legs numb, but she dared not move. Instead, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
Fortunately, Florence didn’t prolong her discomfort and spoke up shortly after, “I am interested in pursuing Jonathan. Do you have any ideas? Share them with me.”

Upon seeing Fanny’s trembling lips and her uncertain eyes, which displayed her hesitation to speak, Fanny felt her good mood vanish instantly, and she slammed the file on her desk.
“What are you staring at? Can’t you hear me?”
Startled by the file hitting her, Fanny quickly regained her senses and begged, “Miss Shelton, please don’t be angry. I heard you. I was just a little surprised.”
After a glance at the papers scattered inside the file, Fanny immediately realized that it contained her own information. She was filled with fear and doubt, but at the same time, she knew that she had no choice but to go along with Florence’s demands at a time like this.
“Why are you surprised? If you can’t bring Christopher back, then find another solution!”
not been After looking through Fanny’s information, Florence understood that if Fanny I able to convince Christopher to return to Northland despite being in a relationship with him. in the past, it was clear that the chances of him returning were unlikely, and they could only explore other options.
It was only then that Fanny discovered that the reason Florence wanted Christopher back in Northland was to pursue Jonathan.
Maintaining a serious expression, she hurriedly piped up. “My sister Angela is married to Jonathan, and it seems he cares deeply for her…”
Florence’s expression soured at this revelation.
She kicked Fanny and snapped, “What are you implying? You and your sister clearly have issues with each other, and you’re not even biologically related to the Kins Family. Why are you pretending?”
Fanny winced at the kick but continued, “I–I meant no harm, Miss Shelton. I was just offering advice.”
Florence’s eyes turned cold as she scoffed, urging her to continue.
Fanny suggested, “You could kidnap her, then use her to manipulate Jonathan. If that fails, use Angela to lure him in and gather evidence…”
As she spoke, she observed Florence’s reaction. At first, her expression was normal, but Fanny soon noticed her growing displeasure as she went on and immediately stopped herself.
Florence cast a lazy glance at the person next to her. “Is this plan feasible?”
She had been trying to impress Jonathan and wanted to leave a good impression on him. Hence, she had no qualms about dealing with Christopher only because she found out that the two were step siblings who weren’t close with each other through her investigations.

As for Angela, it was natural that she had thought of laying her hands on this woman who was so close to Jonathan. However, she did not want to take things that far yet, and she did not want Jonathan to hate her either.
“Miss Florence, it is true that Angela is getting in the way, the person replied, agreeing with Fanny’s suggestion to hurt Angela.
Florence cast him another glance and asked, “Will Jonathan blame me if he finds out?”
The answer to her question was obvious, and the person hastily replied, “Since it was her idea, let her handle it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he shot Fanny a look.
Fanny froze with fear at his gaze, but she could only grit her teeth and agree, “Yes, Miss Shelton, you don’t even have to do anything. I–I’ve already sent someone to deal with Angela…
She finally remembered Kaydron and recalled that he was supposed to make a move against Angela. She hoped he had succeeded in dealing with Angela.
