Chapter 396 Not Pursuing Her

Fanny did not pursue her, but instead quickly gathered her emotions and made a phone call.

She cried on the phone, vividly and exaggeratedly recounting Angela’s “misdeeds” to Scarlet. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The person who picked up the phone was none other than Scarlet.

Upon hearing how Fanny had gone to ask Angela to treat Zacharias, only to suffer such injustice, Scarlet was immediately incensed and vented her anger at Angela.

After listening to several sentences, Fanny smiled behind the phone, but her response was still soft and weak. “Angela said she will never treat Zacharias again in the future. Mom, what should we do…”

Scarlet was well aware of Zacharias‘ condition. After the last emergency visit, he was left extremely weak, and these past few days had only seen his health deteriorate further.

Joseph was worried sick but couldn’t reach Angela, so Fanny volunteered to find Angela and ask her to help Zacharias.

This was all promised in front of Scarlet, so she knew the situation well.

“Fanny, you go back first.” Scarlet sighed. She was reluctant to see Fanny being mistreated, so she insisted that she go back first.

Fanny sniffled a few times and obediently went back.

Meanwhile, Christopher was summoned by Jane again.

Last time, after Christopher was beaten up, he owed his survival entirely to Jonathan.

Somehow, news of the incident reached Jane’s ears. Jane might not have intended to play tricks on him, but the friend by her side irritated him.

Initially, when Christopher received a call from Jane, he thought she was going to inform Michael about the threat he posed. However, he soon realized that it was Harley’s idea to have some fun.

Unfortunately, Harley’s plan worked like a charm, dragging Christopher, who had no intention of dealing with Jane again, back into the scene.

Jane and Harley were still at the bar, and as soon as Christopher arrived, Harley couldn’t help but laugh and point at him.

“Well, look who’s here with the scars still on his face,” Harley mocked.

When his face was more severely injured before, Harley had laughed at him like this, but he didn’t care anymore.

Over these past few days, his facial wounds had almost healed, and tomorrow, they won’t be so visible.

Plus, the last time he exchanged words with Harley, he didn’t gain anything from it. Even though Christopher clenched his fists tightly, he didn’t engage with her.

“Are you blind?” Harley couldn’t hold back her anger when she saw him ignoring her.

“Miss Coolidge, do you have something to discuss with me?” Christopher ignored Harley and directly addressed Jane, who was sitting at the table drinking.

Jane casually motioned for Harley to sit beside her, telling her to calm

down before rolling her eyes at Christopher. “What could I possibly need from you? Who do you think you are?”

She couldn’t stand Christopher. After threatening him once for causing trouble, she couldn’t be bothered to address him again.

But Harley had heard some gossip that the Miss from the Shelton Family, who had previously beaten up Christopher, had taken a liking to Jonathan.

Now that was some big news.

She called out for Christopher because she wanted to hear it straight from him.

Christopher frowned.

As he suspected, it wasn’t Jane’s idea this time to call him out, but Harley

He scanned the dimly lit bar impatiently and only thought about how to leave quickly.

“Harley, just ask your question and then let him leave. I can’t stand seeing him.” Jane expressed her disdain for Christopher openly to Harley.

Harley smiled, noticing Christopher’s gaze on her, and then asked him, “How far along are your friend and Florence Shelton?”

Christopher was completely puzzled and looked at Harley, asking, “Who’s Florence Shelton?”

His question made her roll her eyes.

“He doesn’t even know who Florence is. He must not know much more than what I’ve already found out.” Harley complained to Jane.

Christopher put on a puzzled look and continued to inquire curiously,

“So, who’s this Shelton person Jonathan’s supposedly involved with?”

Jane shot Harley a look, signaling her to kick Christopher out. Harley couldn’t just blurt out answers to Christopher’s questions, so she straight up told him to get lost.

“You better leave. That’s it for today. We’ll call you another time.”

Christopher frowned. It wasn’t because she told him to leave, but the part about calling him another time got to him.

But he didn’t say anything. He just lowered his head slightly and headed out of the bar.

Once outside, he lit up a cigarette.

He remembered Florence’s people attacking him, and when Jonathan came to his rescue, Florence even mentioned Jonathan’s name. Even though Christopher was groggy at the time, he heard it loud and clear.

Of course, he knew who Florence was.

He just didn’t want Harley and Jane to keep digging, and him playing dumb this time seemed to have worked. They didn’t pry further and let him off the hook with just a few teasing remarks.

But he didn’t expect that as soon as he left, Harley would be particularly unhappy and asked Jane to call Michael.

Word got to Michael about the altercation with Christopher, and upon hearing that Jonathan went to Christopher’s rescue, Michael’s mind started spinning with schemes. Especially after learning about Florence’s interest in Jonathan, he had other ideas brewing.

However, in response to Jane’s probing over the phone, he responded bluntly that Jonathan was already married.

However, Christopher was oblivious to all this.

Feeling the brunt of Michael’s scolding, Jane and Harley couldn’t find an outlet for their frustration, so they called Christopher back.

As soon as Christopher got in the car, he received a call from the two asking him to come back to the bar. He felt like a slave being summoned back and forth.

He was seething inside but had no choice but to comply.

This time, though, he was forced to drink a lot of alcohol.

Meanwhile, George was escorted into a casino by a pair of good buddies. Both of them looked like they had drunk a lot, and were all tipsy.

“Joey, do you think this is Dylan’s fault?” George, who was tipsy, patted Joey on the shoulder and said irritably..

Being patted, Joey sobered up a bit and replied with a serious gaze, “Indeed, it’s that rascal Dylan. Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out. I’ll arrange a meeting and make him apologize and compensate you!”

Upon hearing this, George chuckled drunkenly, “You’re a true friend, Joey. He definitely owes me.”

Although George was half drunk, he felt that staying was the right decision after hearing Joey’s assurance.

He had originally just wanted to find an opportunity to trouble Dylan, but he didn’t expect to run into him and Dylan’s former friend, Joey Johansson.

After hearing about Dylan’s situation, Joey even said he would help him!

George immediately agreed to have a drink with him

“Let’s not talk about unhappy things today, George. I’ll take you to relax and have some fun.” Joey clapped his hands and took George to the gambling table.

When George was getting into the game, Joey got up and made a phone callin the restroom.

“The guy’s already at the gambling table, don’t worry, I’ll handle it. I’ll make sure he loses everything he’s got!” said the voice on the other end.

Joey quickly responded, “Hey, no need to thank me for this little favor. The Lime Family’s troubles are my family’s business. Dealing with the Tuckson Family is no walk in the park for you either. We’ll talk about meeting up later.”

After exchanging a few words, Joey hung up the phone.

On the other end, Dylan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that George had entered the casino.
