Chapter 69 Using the Same Old Tactic to Bother You
Angela took out her phone and dialed a contact from her phonebook. Her previous speed dial setting was Christopher.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Christopher stopped in his tracks when he felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and saw that it was Angela.
Just as he was about to answer, James turned around and asked why he stopped walking.
“Angela is calling.” Christopher gave James his phone.
James squinted his eyes when he saw the name on the screen. “Hmph! She finally couldn’t hold it any longer. I thought she was acting tough and wanted to leave the family. Is she trying to use the same old tactic to bother you?”
If it had been before, Christopher might have had the same thoughts as James. However, Christopher was a bit uncertain after the unpleasant conversation with Angela last time.
However, James snatched his phone and hung up, even turning the phone off.
“If she wants to beg for mercy, she must show some sincerity. Don’t defend her!” said James as he patted Christopher’s shoulder. “Hurry up. We still have some important business to do. You’ve prepared so much for it. Don’t delay it. If you can get this deal done, Old Mr. Sanders will think you are impressive. Then, you’ll have a say in your marriage with Fanny.”
Christopher hesitated. However, when he heard Fanny’s name, his expression softened. Then, he put his phone back in his pocket.
James is right. I need to work hard to get this deal for the sake of Fanny. Angela must have called me for some trivial matter.
As the identity of Jonathan’s brother and with the help of James, Christopher had prepared well and finally got this deal. To share the good news with Fanny, he drove to the school and waited for her to finish class.
After school, Fanny found the parking spot based on Christopher’s text message.
Fanny liked to wear white as it symbolized purity. She looked like an angel as she happily ran towards Christopher. “Christopher! I’m here. Did I make you wait too long?” With a joyful expression, Fanny sat in the passenger seat and shyly looked at him.

Christopher helped her fasten her seatbelt before taking out a dessert bag from the back seat. The bag was filled with her favorite sweets. “Take your time. What if you fall? Your health is poor, so you should be more careful.”
Facing Christopher’s concern, Fanny obediently nodded and said, “I know. Stop nagging.” Then, she took the dessert bag and saw it was her favorite cupcake. She smiled sweetly and said, “It’s the one I like.”
“I’ll never forget what your preferences are.” Christopher looked at the time and casually asked. “Did Angela call you today?”
While waiting for Fanny, he called Angela back, but no one answered.
Fanny took a bite of the cake and pursed her lips. “No. You know she doesn’t like me. I try to avoid her at school so she won’t be angry at me.”
Christopher frowned and was slightly displeased. “You don’t have to be so hard on yourself.”
“I’ve already received so much. I just hope everyone can be happy and not fight because of me.” Fanny lowered her head and looked remorseful.
Looking at her, Christopher felt distressed and reached out to hold Fanny’s hand. “Fanny, it’s her fault, not yours. Let’s not talk about her anymore. Do you know why I’m so happy today?”
“Why?”
“Thanks to James, I got the contract with Cylops Company. With this contract, I can enter the company and talk to my grandfather about our marriage.”
Hearing her words, Fanny was momentarily stunned. Then, she threw herself into Christopher’s arms and said happily, “Christopher, there’s no need to rush. I’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes. We will definitely be together.” She nestled in his embrace so close that he could smell the sweet fragrance from her whenever he lowered his head.
She was nothing compared to Angela, who wore faded, outdated clothes and smelled of cheap laundry detergent.
Fanny held him with her delicate arms and shyly raised her head. When she looked at Christopher’s handsome face, her heart started to race.
With the love of his life in his arms, Christopher gulped hard and fixed his gaze on her rosy lips. Then, he leaned down and kissed her.
They kissed passionately, and their breaths grew heavier.

The narrow space inside the car suddenly felt even more cramped.
Fanny gasped and boldly wrapped her arms around his neck as she offered herself. “I like you. I will only be yours.”
Christopher’s heart thumped as he tightly embraced Fanny.
Inside the classroom, Jessica looked around but couldn’t find Angela anywhere. Everyone had already left. Unable to wait any longer, she asked someone if they had seen Angela, but the person said Angela hadn’t even shown up for class.
At that moment, Jessica’s expression changed drastically. Angela didn’t attend class? She didn’t answer her phone or come to class. Did something happen to her? Jessica pondered, knowing that Angela was treating someone named Jonathan. Could she be with him?
After searching for a while, she found the number Angela had given her last time and dialed it. After a few rings, someone answered the phone.
“Hello, I’m Angela’s classmate. My name is Jessica. I wanted to ask if Angela is with you.”
Hearing Jessica’s anxious voice, Sebastian was taken aback and sensed something was wrong.” Jessica, Angela is not with us. Did something happen to her?”
Upon hearing that Angela was also not there, Jessica burst into tears. She frantically explained that Angela had been missing since the afternoon. She hadn’t attended class, and her phone was turned off.
Sebastian hurriedly comforted Jessica. Then, he asked a few more questions before hanging up the phone.
Jessica also realized that she had no contact information about the Kins Family. Even if they were informed, they wouldn’t care. Thus, she immediately called the police.
Jonathan stared at Sebastian in silence.
“Angela’s classmate called and said that she has gone missing.”
Jonathan squinted his eyes and made a phone call as he pushed his wheelchair out the door. “Hello, this is Jonathan. I have something I need you…
As soon as the door opened, the chilly wind rushed in. Sebastian quickly grabbed a blanket from the couch and chased after him.

Jessica waited at the police station nervously. Her eyes were swollen from crying.
The first to arrive was James. He entered the police station with a gloomy expression since this was the second time he had come here. In his mind, Angela had pretended to disappear since they had ignored her when she had called Christopher in the afternoon. It was Angela’s way of provoking them.
James was extremely displeased as he dialed Angela’s number multiple times, but it was always switched off.
Losing his patience, he sent a text message. ‘Angela, don’t push your luck now. Stop this instant!”
