“It’s difficult to say it wasn’t intentional,” Hugh remarked with a chuckle. “He probably aimed to divert attention from the Tuckson Family by targeting your Kins Family.”
The crucial point was that Dylan didn’t just consider it. He merely took decisive action and. succeeded.
Hugh glanced at Joseph while speaking and noticed that he still looked haggard. He knew
this detention had taken a toll on the latter.

“Where is Dylan now? I’m going to confront him.” Scarlet exclaimed, her composure slipping upon hearing that Dylan’s actions were intentional.
She stood up abruptly and was about to storm out.
Setting aside Dylan’s actions against the Kins Family, just the thought of Dylan being considered a close friend by George made her feel stifled and disgusted.
It is true that birds of a feather flock together. They are two villains!
“Mom,” Zacharias spoke up and gently pulled Scarlet’s clothes. Then, he shook his head at her and said, “Don’t be impulsive.”
Scarlet paused for a moment, her anger still smoldering inside her.
“Yes, Madam Square. Please refrain from rash actions. Let’s listen to James,” Hugh pacified Scarlet and then turned to James, waiting for him to speak.
Upon hearing this, Scarlet looked at James sitting on the couch.
The others also looked at James as if they had found their leader.
Under everyone’s scrutiny, James remained calm as ever.
“We can’t touch the Tuckson Family directly, but the Leigh Family is currently being harassed by them to the point of almost collapsing. So, we can still get back at Dylan for what he did,” James said calmly, a hint of sharpness in his tone.
“Is James suggesting retaliation?” Joseph asked eagerly.
Zacharias couldn’t help but glance anxiously at James, waiting for him to reveal his plan. Dylan dared to plot against the Kins Family, so he should be prepared to pay a heavy price. “Of course. We will retaliate, but I’ll handle it personally,” James said as he got up and headed

toward Fanny’s room. “You all pack up and get ready to return to Riverdon. I’ll wake up Fanny.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
James‘ intent was clear. The matter concerning Dylan didn’t require others‘ involvement.
He had already made himself clear, so Scarlet and the others naturally wouldn’t push further.
Scarlet was already packing her things, so she was the first to return to her room to continue packing. Joseph glanced at James and Hugh before entering his room to pack.
Zacharias hesitated before returning to his room. He noticed James heading to Fanny’s room and said, “James, Fanny went out early this morning.”
“Hmm? Where did she go?” James paused and inquired.
Hugh also looked at Zacharias with a meaningful expression.
Zacharias replied, “I don’t know. She said she had something urgent to attend to and would be back soon.”
After saying that, he glanced at the time. “She just left. Should I call her and ask when she’ll be back?”
He hadn’t expected their return to Riverdon to be so urgent.
He had thought they would need at least a few more days.
“No need. I’ll call her. You go pack up your things.” James added, “We’ll see a doctor for your illness when we get back to Riverdon.”
Zacharias smiled wryly at his words.
He had seen numerous doctors already. If it were effective, why would Joseph keep seeking Angela’s help?
So far, only Angela’s miraculous acupuncture had provided effective treatment for his illness.
However, even with acupuncture, it did not wholly cure his illness. It just allowed him to survive with a weak bod
“Thank you, James,” Zacharias/said with a smile, even though he knew there wasn’t much hope. “James, remember to contact Fanny,” he added.
James nodded. “Don’t worry, Zac.”
After Zacharias entered the room, James didn’t immediately contact Fanny. Instead, he checked a message he had received during their conversation earlier but only now found a

moment to check it. After reading it, he furrowed his brow, pocketed the phone, and headed toward his room.
Hugh didn’t see the text message and followed him into the room.
Upon seeing James starting to pack, Hugh couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you worried about Fanny?
James replied, “Fanny is with Florence.”
“Huh?” Hugh was puzzled for a moment, then frowned. “Isn’t she being detained?”
Don’t worry about her. Florence won’t harm her. But as for you, I need your help to find out where Dylan is.”
James pushed thoughts of Fanny aside, recalling her message, assuring him not to worry. She would find a way to escape. He then tried to shift his attention away from that and turned to look directly at Hugh.
Hugh was quite helpless but still agreed.
Upon seeing that James didn’t want to discuss further, he went to the balcony to make a phone call and have his men handle the matter.
It wouldn’t take long to find Dylan.
Meanwhile, inside a van on the street, Fanny put away her phone after sending a text and looked at the person beside her. “Why are you guys coming to find me again?”
If she remembered correctly, Florence had sent two bodyguards to follow her. Those two should have been enough if she was supposed to meet Florence.
Harley rolled his eyes. “You talk as if we wanted to see you.”
Jane also gave Fanny a once–over before generously giving her a reason. “Miss Shelton is tired.
of waiting for you. She wants you to bring Christopher to Northland today.”
Jane’s expression darkened at the mention of Christopher.
After all, she had contact with Christopher.
She might have even married him if she hadn’t discovered his suspicious activities in time.
Although she had planned for a fake marriage from the beginning, she felt nauseous when she thought of the disgusting actions Christopher had done.

“Today?” Fanny was suddenly stunned.
After the shock, Fanny immediately covered her stomach in pain. “I have a stomach ache. Can I go to the bathroom?”
Fanny recalled that she hadn’t had time to discuss the details of their plan with Christopher these past few days. Now, Florence wanted to see her. She couldn’t help but feel extremely
nervous.
“Are you faking it?” Harley glared at her impatiently. “How could such a coincidence happen?”
“Are you trying to escape?” Jane also didn’t believe she suddenly had a stomach ache and looked at her with suspicion.
Fanny felt like crying, even though she wasn’t really in pain. She just needed to find a way to text Christopher and vent her feelings.
Otherwise, what if Christopher slipped up when Florence asked her to call him?
Fanny was nervous and speechless, so she could only pretend to have a stomach ache while secretly pinching herself to make herself sweat with pain.
“R–Really…” Fanny said to Jane with sweat on her forehead, “You can have someone watch me. I really have a stomach ache. I dare not run away when I have to meet Miss Shelton.”
