Chapter 456 Fanny Returns To Scarlet
She didn’t allow him to ask for the specific location as soon as he heard that she was going to the suburbs of Northland for an exam.
Fanny had checked beforehand, so it naturally rolled off her tongue.
Upon hearing this, Kaydron couldn’t contain himself any longer.
She continued to entice, “She won’t be able to take many people with her for the exam, probably just three like last time. If you bring a few more people than last time or quietly take action against her, you can definitely grab her.”
Fanny’s words were airy, and Kaydron listened with ease, even imagining along with her.
Come to think of it, when he took people to intercept Angela before, perhaps it was just for profit. But now, just mentioning going after Angela, he still wanted to vent his frustration from the last failure.
The last time was really embarrassing, and if there was another time, he would certainly want to redeem himself.
And Fanny was right; he was quite familiar with the outskirts of Northland.
The area she mentioned, he was no stranger to.
Kaydron sat silently as Fanny tried to provoke him.
“You’re not just going to swallow the humiliation from last time, are you? If it were me, I’d definitely make Angela regret it.”
Her words struck a nerve with him, and he slammed his hand on the table. “No way! Not only am I going to teach her a lesson, but I’ll also make sure to catch her before her exam and make her suffer!”
His words were firm, which greatly satisfied her.
Meanwhile, another person scheming to sabotage Angela’s exam was Florence.
Florence was leisurely listening to her subordinates‘ reports at home when suddenly, one of them mentioned Angela’s upcoming exam.
“Exam? What exam?” She wondered why Angela’s exam would concern her.
Her question puzzled her/subordinates for a moment, but they quickly explained, “Miss, you ordered us to ensure Angela doesn’t make it to the next round.”

Upon hearing this explanation, she realized why Angela’s exam was brought up.
However, she genuinely couldn’t remember giving such an order.
Florence, lounging lazily, absently toyed with her fingers. “Well, we might as well press on with the plan,” she remarked.
Her thoughts were consumed by Jonathan, yet he seemed impervious to her advances. She had pinned her hopes on Fanny to coax Christopher to Northland. However, after Fanny’s negotiations all morning, all she got was a vague confirmation that Christopher would come to Northland, but the timing was uncertain.
The temptation to venture to Riverdon herself and forcibly bring him back gnawed at her, but the vigilant elders of the Shelton Family kept a close watch. They weren’t about to let her or any of her people leave Northland during this precarious period.
“So, how are the arrangements shaping up?” she inquired, masking her boredom with feigned
interest.
I’ve got everything under control. No room for error,” the other person reassured her.
“Under control? You’re not planning any harm to Angela, are you?” Florence interjected, her concern for Angela’s safety overriding her competitive streak.
“Fret not, there won’t be any harm done. I can assure you of that,” came the solemn promise.
Observing his confident demeanor, Florence didn’t bother to inquire further about the details, as all she desired was a successful outcome.
After spending time with Kaydron, Fanny took a shot at cracking his phone’s password. But alas, her efforts were in vain.
Upon leaving, Fanny planned to visit the hospital to investigate and persuade Zacharias.
Heading back to Riverdon was her Plan B, but bringing Zacharias along was her best shot at a way forward.
Florence’s subordinates were still hot on her trail, and without contacting Christopher or receiving a call from him, Fanny couldn’t reclaim her phone..
At the police station, Fanny opted for her own wheels, with Florence’s men following close behind.
Later, when she visited Kaydron’s house, they continued to follow her.
Now, Fanny abandoned the idea of taking an Uber and straightforwardly approached the two

“Hey guys, I need to get to Mercy Hospital. Can you give me a ride?”
The two guys sized her up before one finally gestured toward the car, “Hop in.”
Fanny compiled and flashed them a smile as she settled into the backseat.
“Now that I’m here, any chance I could grab my phone for a bit?” She thought since the two men had backed off a bit, she could test the waters.
Unfortunately, they ignored her and merely stated that they would hand it over when Christopher called.
Fanny decided not to press further and let the issue go.
It wasn’t until they reached the hospital that she noticed Scarlet seemingly preoccupied with something.
“Mom,” she called out.
Scarlet, initially startled and assumed she was hearing things, quickly made her way over upon seeing Fanny.
“Fanny? Shouldn’t you be in class?” she asked incredulously.
Fanny realized she was not only under surveillance by Florence’s men but also playing truant, so she scrambled to explain. “Mom, we have a holiday, Otherwise, I wouldn’t have. been at a friend’s place yesterday.”
Scarlet didn’t pry any further and instead focused on the stack of paperwork before her.
Fanny’s eyes drifted downward, and she noticed Scarlet’s concentration on processing Zacharias‘ discharge papers.
“Mom?” Her voice held a hint of confusion. “Shouldn’t Zac stay a bit longer? He hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
At that moment, Scarlet paused abruptly, as if something had sparked her memory. She ignored Fanny’s inquiry and posed her own question instead.
“Ah, right. Fanny, why didn’t you pick up your phone earlier? Every time I called, it was occupied. Who were you chatting with?”
She fired off two questions in a row, leaving Fanny momentarily flustered. Yet, she quickly pieced together the situation.
Scarlet had attempted to reach her earlier today. However, Fanny had been desperately trying to get in touch with Christopher. After finally connecting with him, her phone had

been confiscated by someone from Florence’s subordinates and b any other calls,
her from answering
Fanny pondered for a moment before responding, “Um, I was talking to Chris…”
She understood that Scarlet harbored no fondness for Christopher at the moment, so she hoped that mentioning his name would divert her attention from further interrogation.
As expected, upon hearing the name Christopher, Scarlet’s expression darkened involuntarily.
Christopher had previously suggested conducting tissue typing between Fanny and Zacharias, a proposal that had always unsettled Scarlet. The secretive process and its successful outcome only added to her discomfort.
But what truly ignited her fury was Christopher’s audacious suggestion that Zacharias should donate his kidney to Fanny.
This was utterly unacceptable to her! No one had the right to make decisions concerning Zacharias‘ well–being.
“That man has devious intentions! Fanny, you must steer clear of him in the future,” Scarlet warned her with a firm tone and furrowed brows.
Fanny nodded obediently and followed her to assist with the discharge procedures.
However, her fragile health and the busy hospital lobby proved to be too much. After a short while, she began to struggle for breath and could no longer walk.
Concern etched on her face, Scarlet quickly guided Fanny to a nearby seat.
“Fanny, are you alright? Where does it hurt?” she asked, her voice laced with worry.
Fanny shook her head with a faint smile playing on her lips. “I’ll be alright, Mom. Just need a moment to catch my breath.”
Scarlet couldn’t shake off the worry gnawing at her, so she settled down beside her to offer silent support
While leaning against Scarlet, Fanny couldn’t resist her curiosity. “Mom, what made you change your mind about letting Zac leave the hospital? His health hasn’t improved, has it?”
Scarlet let out a weary sigh, her gaze distant as she recalled the conversation. “Zac was adamant about leaving, and he talked about longing to explore Northland’s charms. And James, well, he had his persuasive ways.”
A hint of frustration tinged her tone as she continued, “James‘ determination can be

maddening at times.”
Scarlet admitted silently. If it hadn’t been for James‘ insistence, I wouldn’t have relented to allowing Zac to leave the hospital’s care.
