Chapter 319 Contronung mier Detua
Chapter 319 Confronting Her Deeds
Upon receiving a call from a fellow villager, Britney purchased a newspaper. After perusing it, she felt that Fanny had been thoroughly humiliated. The residents of Lynch’s village were likely aware of Fanny’s predicament, and upon her return, she would undoubtedly face inquiries.
Contemplating this, Britney could not help but harbor disdain towards Fanny again. Fanny was taken aback when the newspaper struck her. She retrieved the paper from the ground and discovered her image on the front page. The newspaper displayed a photograph of her and Christopher embracing as they entered a hotel. Despite the grayscale print, the bold headline was striking.
Fanny nearly gnashed her teeth. Her visage contorted as she tightly clutched the newspaper, exclaiming. “This must be the work of the Martinez Family!”
“Does it truly matter who orchestrated this? Is it not a consequence of your lack of self- restraint?! Now, I’ve lost my dignity because of you!” Britney disregarded the publisher’s identity, directing her dissatisfaction solely toward Fanny!
As this incident was publicized in the newspaper, Fanny found herself unable to hold her head high among the people in Lynch’s village. Furthermore, the publication in question was the Riverdon Daily. It exaggerated Fanny’s reputation as a woman of loose morals, which would be widely known throughout Riverdon.
Fanny glared coldly at Britney. “You’ve taken the money. It’s time for you to leave.”
“Settle your own issue. Do not implicate me in your troubles!” Britney retorted before walking away with the money.

With a quavering voice, Fanny knocked on the door and burst into tears as soon as it opened.

she also instilled fear in Fanny, leading to Fanny’s hospitalization.
He felt a pang of regret, so as Fanny tearfully approached him, he could not help but feel sympathy for her.
“She saw me in the newspaper and proceeded to insult me Fanny sobbed. Tears welled in her eyes as she choked, “I was photographed while pleading with Christopher to seek medical assistance for my mother.”
Upon mentioning Scarlet, George snatched the newspaper from her grasp and read the headline and photograph of Fanny and Christopher.
“How dare Britney stoop to this level! After all, you are still part of the Kins Family. Who gave her the right to pass judgment on our family members?” George’s countenance darkened as he was frequently questioned by the authorities regarding the events at Scarlet, causing intermittent bouts of anger.
Upon hearing that Fanny was striving to revive Scarlet, he endeavored to suppress his
temper.
Fanny softly wept, “I fear that Britney will come after me, all at Angela’s behest. Moreover, Dad’s previous predicament was also linked to Angela.”
George listened intently to Fanny’s words and was incensed upon learning of the hidden machinations behind everything. “Is this truly the case?” he inquired, his tone laced with
“Yes, Linda must have been manipulated by Angela to become like this,” Fanny echoed George’s words. “Linda might have turned into what she is now because of Angela.”
