Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self (Angela and Joseph) novel Chapter 450

Chapter 450 You Talk Too Much 

Fanny observed the man’s stoic expression and hoped to glean some insight into what he had discovered, but her efforts were in vain. 

Considering his swift return, she surmised he hadn’t uncovered anything significant. However, the sight of the document he handed to Florence left her uneasy. 

The man paid no heed to Fanny’s inquiries. 

Even Florence seemed indifferent to her presence. 

Instead, Florence’s eyebrows raised in surprise after listening to the man’s whisper, but she quickly composed herself and focused on the document. 

Fanny grew anxious that her previous inquiry had been too quiet, so she asked again, “Miss Shelton, did you find anything?” 

Florence lifted her gaze and glared at her Fanny before instructing the person beside her, “Teach her a lesson, but don’t leave any marks on her face.” 

The remark left Fanny puzzled momentarily, but it wasn’t until she saw a person who had been standing near Florence suddenly approaching her with fists clenched and looking ready to strike. It was then did she comprehend the gravity of the situation. 

Fanny stood there, dazed and bewildered, only feeling the force of the fist striking her body before letting out a cry of pain. “Miss Shelton? Why did you hit me?” 

“You’re too chatty,” Florence replied calmly, observing as she endured a few more blows before casually remarking, “Okay, don’t go overboard.” 

Initially, Fanny didn’t appear to be in the best of health, so Florence hadn’t instructed her men to treat her as roughly as they did Christopher. But Fanny’s incessant chatter demanded. 

a response. 

After Florence’s subordinate stopped hitting Fanny, he paid no attention to Fanny, who had already been beaten to the ground, and stood once more beside Florence. 

Fanny lay on the ground, writhing in agony. Though her face remained unscathed, the impact of the punches felt like they could shatter her bones. 

Even if her bones remained intact, she knew she’d wake up bruised and aching tomorrow. 

The physical pain was daunting, but the humiliation cut deeper into her heart. Especially upon hearing Florence’s accusation of talking too much, she felt utterly debased.

However, with 

She was worried about not being able to speak much in the future, but she didn’t know that Florence had her beaten not just because she talked too much. 

Florence suddenly ordered someone to rough up Fanny because she had listened to the special reminder whispered in her ear by her subordinate. 

He mentioned that Angela’s bodyguards were all ex–soldiers and mercenaries, and Fanny had some grievances with Angela. 

With Angela being heavily guarded, it wasn’t easy to abduct her, and Fanny’s shift in focus. from Christopher to Angela was as obvious as daylight. 

One reason was to deter Fanny from persistently urging Christopher to return to Northland, while the other was to exploit her as a pawn in dealing with someone Fanny disliked. 

Florence had no objection to Fanny’s first goal, but the second one didn’t sit well with her. Fanny actually thought she could be manipulated, which was preposterous. 

Am I truly that susceptible to manipulation? 

Thus, the punches Fanny took were of her own making. 

Initially, Florence had shown some leniency toward Fanny because Fanny was a girl, unlike how she treated Christopher. Now, it seemed everyone had their limits, and Fanny had willingly crossed the line. 

In the room, Florence mulled over the information her subordinate had uncovered. 

The entire experience was agonizing for Fanny. 

Before long, Florence finished reviewing the documents and directed her attention toward Fanny. 

“What’s on your mind?” Florence’s gesture indicated that Fanny could speak freely. 

Despite the lingering pain from her bruises, Fanny pushed it aside. She swallowed hard and inquired, “Miss Shelton, what did you discover?” 

At this moment, she dared not bring up the grand promises she had persuaded Kaydron to convey to Florence through Angela. Instead, she cautiously inquired about what Florence had discovered while holding her breath. 

Given that she hadn’t had the opportunity to reach out to Kaydron that day, Fanny remained uncertain of his success or failure.

Hehr Florence found her expression amusing and let out a slight chuckle. 

However, Fanny didn’t overlook any of Florence’s subtle facial cues. 

Upon witnessing the latter’s smirking smile and disdainful glance, Fanny’s heart constricted and felt overwhelmed with embarrassment. 

Florence wasn’t interested in addressing her concerns. Instead, she casually tossed a piece of paper onto the table in front of Fanny and sneered, “So, this Kaydron you mentioned, right? He’s the guy you’re using to deal with Angela, huh?” 

Her voice was light, but the paper landing on the table felt like a heavy blow to Fanny’s heart. 

Fanny quickly picked up the paper and glanced over it hastily. It was just a regular profile of Kaydron, along with a photo attached. It was indeed him. 

“Yes, Miss Shelton,” Fanny replied, still mindful of Florence’s earlier remarks about her talking too much. Even though she had many questions, she dared not ask and simply answered Florence’s inquiry honestly. 

“Oh,” Florence responded coldly, after which she asked, “Did you previously say he could deliver Angela to me?” 

Fanny felt a sense of unease creeping in, and she felt unsure whether to respond. While she hesitated, a sudden punch landed on her, causing her to cry out in pain. 

“Ah- 

“Miss Shelton wants an answer,” the man said, clearly following Florence’s orders, as he confronted Fanny with clenched fists. 

It was only then that she snapped back to reality and realized she had been lost in thought just a moment before. 

“I… I did say something. Because Kaydron told me last night they were going to move on Angela today. He even swore they’d get her for sure!” 

She gritted her teeth against the pain and couldn’t focus on anything else but to blame Kaydron. 

Kaydron did mention going after Angela today, though he didn’t promise anything. But he shouldn’t have chickened out.
