Chapter 440 Enough For Them To Mock

Upon her return to her room, Fanny contacted Christopher. Upon learning of Christopher's return to Riverdon, she experienced a sense of unease. The realization that he was aware of her loss of innocence caused her to feel reluctant to confront him, let alone make contact with him. Nevertheless, she wished to return to Riverdon due to Northland's escalating danger.

Fanny was convinced she would have no further worries by deleting the photo in Kaydron's possession before returning. While contemplating this, she attentively waited for Christopher to answer her phone call for half a minute before the call was abruptly disconnected. At that moment, Fanny realized that Christopher had not answered the phone. Experiencing inner conflict, she deliberated on whether to make another phone call. After careful consideration, she decided to place her phone aside.

At a private club located in Riverdon.

Christopher displayed a complex expression upon witnessing Fanny's phone call. He quickly muted his phone and gazed at the notifications on the screen. It was only after the call concluded that he emerged from his contemplation. Fanny attempted to contact him. The recollection of Joseph's statement regarding a stranger responding to Fanny's summons caused him to experience repulsion. This had prevented him from reaching out to her.

"What are you looking at, Christopher?" Upon noticing Christopher staring at his phone's dark screen, the individuals in the private room approached him.

"Nothing, just keep enjoying your drink." Christopher shook his head and placed his phone to the side.

Although he did not organize today's gathering, his circle was closely associated with him. It was his friend's way of celebrating his return to Riverdon. Upon his return, Christopher was reprimanded by his father and restricted to the house. Nevertheless, he found the situation. unbearable after a single day of confinement.

After Michael departed the residence, Christopher received invitations from his friends and managed to persuade Teresa. Upon observing his distress, Teresa found it unbearable to confine him and discreetly permitted him to depart. Before leaving, Teresa repeatedly reminded him to behave and return home promptly.

Despite Christopher agreeing to all of her reminders, he promptly forgot them once he stepped outside. He uncared another expensive bottle of imported liquor in the club's dimly lit private room. "Mr. Sanders, you have truly spacious." someone complimented.

Christopher experienced a sense of satisfaction as if the persistent irritation caused by Fanny.

had dissipated.

Before long, the group started experiencing the effects of the alcohol.

Upon checking the time, Christopher became aware that he should return to prevent being found by Michael, despite Teresa granting him some liberty.

On this occasion, he was being escorted back by Jonathan's associates, which had already annoyed Michael. He refrained from further provoking Michael. As he stood up to leave, someone called him out. "Where are you headed, Mr. Sanders? The restroom?" The individual exhibited mild signs of intoxication, characterized by incoherent speech.

Christopher was on the verge of replying when his phone vibrated. He instinctively furrowed his brow, considering the possibility that it could be Fanny calling once more. "Um, I'll go to the restroom," he casually replied before leaving the private room and, almost instinctively, picking up the phone. Upon initiating the call, he maintained silence, anticipating Fanny would commence the conversation. Nevertheless, the voice that resonated was not Fanny's. Instead, it was a recognizable voice that elicited discomfort in him.

"Are you unable to speak? Or have you lost your voice?" Jane's cold and mocking tone resonated.

Christopher shuddered as the fog of alcohol dissipated from his mind. Instead of responding, he cautiously grasped the phone and observed. Indeed, the phone number belonged to Jane. His pupils constricted, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.

His lack of response incited Jane, prompting her to exclaim, "Are you intentionally disregarding my communication? If you choose not to voice your opinion, I'll have my people come and collect your body!" Christopher was once again startled by Jane. He leaned against the wall in the club corridor, clenching his teeth fiercely, and just about succeeded in quelling the restlessness in his heart. Subsequently, he articulated his words at a measured pace. "Ms. Coolidge, is there something you need?

Christopher struggled to maintain a steady voice and prevent it from trembling. He thought, I am in Riverdon. Jane, who is at Northland, can't do anything to me.

"I have a need, of course. I have

forwarded the address to you. Please expedite your a Jane's lack of politeness was deeply rooted in her character, particularly evident when interacting with individuals such as Christopher. She displayed it promptly, without any hesitation.

Jane had noticed the missed call from Christopher the previous day. However, she procrastinated responding, anticipating further communication from Christopher. However, a day later, Christopher had still not contacted her. While socializing with Harley, she overheard Harley referencing Christopher again, prompting her to confront him.

Jane's tone was informal, nearly indistinguishable from when she had called out Christopher before. Christopher failed to perceive the distinction again, leading to a resurgence of feelings of humiliation. However, Christopher quickly regained his composure and let out a soft chuckle. "Ms. Coolidge, I'm not currently located in Northland. If you wish to socialize, please seek another companion." Given that Jonathan had already returned him to Riverdon, it is unlikely that Michael would require him to maintain a friendly relationship with the Coolidge Family. Consequently, he was not required to be as polite towards Jane as he had previously been.

Jane hesitated briefly, uncertain of Christopher's meaning, and inquired, "What did you say?"

Christopher's confidence level was adequate to end the call with Jane. At the moment of realization, he promptly terminated the call. After ending the call, he exhaled a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Jane stared angrily at the disconnected cell phone in Northland. Her furrowed brow signifies her displeasure.

Harley abruptly approached and inquired. “Jane, what seems to be the matter?"

"Christopher returned to Riverdon!" Jane expressed irritation in her statement.

Harley was equally taken aback. "Return to Riverdon? Could it be that he was intimidated by our presence?" While initially appearing exaggerated, teasing Christopher occasionally prompted Harley to contemplate the possibility that someone as timid as Christopher might choose to retreat to his hometown. If he desired concealment, then allow him to do so. It was sufficient to make them mock.

"It is acceptable. Let us contact another individual." Upon observing Jane's continued frown, Harley offered her comfort. "I have additional individuals we can invite to participate in the activity. Let us refrain from contacting Christopher today."

Jane refrained from expressing a definite commitment.

Harley did indeed follow through and quickly called someone else. Unlike Christopher, this individual was significantly more pleasant and succeeded in lifting their spirits considerably.
