Chapter 449 I Don’t Believe You
When Scarlet received James‘ call, she had just reached home, and she had also realized that Fanny was nowhere to be found.
She immediately felt a sense of panic, so much so that she didn’t bother to ask James any more questions, even though he mentioned that Angela had already gone to bed and they would talk the next day.
With her phone in her hand, Scarlet said in a stunned tone, “Fanny is missing!”
Confused, James asked, “What?”

With a trembling voice, Scarlet repeated, “Fanny’s missing. She hasn’t been picking up phone…”
the
She couldn’t fathom where Fanny could have gone besides the hospital or home after leaving school. When she was at the hospital, she thought Fanny was at home while she was at the hospital, and vice versa when she was at home earlier.
Now that she had returned home once more, she finally realized Fanny was missing!
Her heart raced with panic at the realization.
James tried to reassure her, “Don’t worry, we’ll continue when I get back home.”
As he was new to Northland, James had no idea where to start looking when Scarlet suddenly mentioned Fanny was missing. In fact, he was more inclined to believe that Fanny wasn’t missing, but Scarlet was overreacting instead.
After hanging up, he tried calling Fanny, but upon finding that her phone was turned off, he decided to rush straight home.
Despite waiting at home, Scarlet couldn’t calm herself at all. She continuously dialed Fanny’s unreachable number and wondered fervently if she had been kidnapped.
It wasn’t without reason that she would think so, as Fanny had been kidnapped in the past, and she immediately thought of Fanny’s past kidnapping now that she had disappeared once again.
The more Fanny remained unreachable, the more Scarlet became certain that she had been kidnapped, and even began to speculate on who could have kidnapped Fanny.
Upon hearing the dial tone again, she couldn’t help but think of Angela. After all, the only person in the entirety of Northland who did not get along with he
was none other than Angela.

It must’ve been that w*nch, Angela! She did something to Fanny because she doesn’t like her, Scarlet suddenly declared fiercely from her seat on the couch, her complexion pale.
As her determination grew, Scarlet’s resentment toward Angela deepened. Moreover, she recalled James informing her that he was able to talk to Angela, which made her even more certain that Angela was avoiding them out of guilt.
Although she suspected Angela, Scarlet refrained from confronting her directly as Angela wouldn’t answer her calls, and James had advised against rash actions.
While Scarlet was consumed by worry over Fanny’s disappearance, Fanny herself was at a loss for words.
Since getting into Jane’s car, she had been on an emotional rollercoaster. Meeting Florence had initially heightened her anxiety, but upon learning of her interest in Jonathan, Fanny felt a little more relaxed and strategically redirected her focus toward Angela.
Moreover, she voluntarily disclosed her involvement with Kaydron and Florence, to her expectations. She seemed interested when she mentioned that she had already sent Kaydron to hurt Angela.
“When will he make his move?” Florence asked.
Without hesitation, Fanny replied, “He promised to do it yesterday, so he should have succeeded by now, but since you brought me here, I couldn’t contact Kaydron, so…”
The implication behind her words was clear. She was hoping that Florence would either go along with her words or allow her to contact Kaydron to inquire about Angela’s situation.
However, Florence did not meet her expectations. Instead, she directly instructed one of the people beside her, “Go check on Kaydron and see what he’s done to Angela.”
The person quickly agreed and left.
Upon hearing Florence’s instructions, Fanny was dumbfounded. She whispered, “Miss. Shelton, I could have just asked Kaydron directly…
She couldn’t understand why Florence went to such lengths to have her people check on Kaydron. Moreover, she had a lingering worry that Florence might discover that Kaydron had her photos.
Kaydron was foolish. This was the very fool who had her photos in his hands. Although she knew that she would eventually find the opportunity to delete them if she deceived him long enough, things would be utterly different if the photo fell into Florence’s hands.
From their recent interactions, Fanny could tell that Florence was not as foolish as Kaydron. Even if she was foolish, the people around her were not fools but rather quite capable

individuals. If the photo really fell into Florence’s hands, retrieving it wouldn’t be
easy.
As she pondered the situation, her emotions overwhelmed her eyes. Not wanting Florence to notice, she lowered her head after making her suggestion.
Upon hearing her suggestion, Florence only scoffed disdainfully.
However, Fanny didn’t give up and continued, “Miss Shelton, why don’t I contact Kaydron and ask him? I’ll have him bring Angela directly to you.”
She wasn’t sure if Angela was still in Kaydron’s hands, but she could only hope so. After all, this was also her bargaining chip in negotiations with Florence.
Florence coldly glanced at her and kicked her as before, “I don’t believe you. Just sit on the ground and wait for my people to find out the information.”
Fanny felt even more speechless.
She looked at the darkening sky outside, unsure of how long it would take for Florence’s: people to gather information. She could only hope that Kaydron would be of some use, and that even if Angela hadn’t been captured by him, he had at least caused trouble and distress for her.
As the sky grew darker, Fanny became more and more exasperated and nervous, growing stiff as she sat on the ground.
In contrast to her nervousness, Florence was much more relaxed.
She lazily leaned back on the sofa and sent a few text messages to Jonathan but did not receive a reply as usual. Then, she languidly started eating.
Although Florence could eat, Fanny couldn’t. Hence, not only was she hungry, but she was also getting more and more anxious.
She thought about how she had not been home since leaving school and did not inform Scarlet of her absence either, and she grew a little worried that Scarlet would be concerned.
At the same time, she recalled Scarlet’s refusal for Zacharias to donate a kidney for her, and her heart grew cold. In Scarlet’s eyes, she was still not as important as a biological child!
Lost in her thoughts, although Fanny remained seated on the ground without moving, she gradually became restless and agitated.
Just when she was about to collapse, the person who went to check the news for Florence finally returned.
After entering the room, he quickly walked to Florence’s side and handed the documents to

her before whispering a few words in her ear. Then, he went to stand behind her.
When Fanny saw him, she immediately asked, “Did you find out?”
Although Fauny felt like she had been waiting for a long time, the fact was that the person did not take long to check the information.
