hapter 326 Insignificant
The two of them left the cafe without saying a word. It was Fanny who calmed down first. She kept looking at Christopher.
Seeing that he looked better, she asked softly, “Chris, didn’t you send the photo to Jonathan?”
Upon hearing this, Christopher suddenly realized the situation.
Indeed, he had sent the photo to Jonathan. As long as he made Jonathan believe that Angela had done something to hurt him, his goal would be achieved.
“Chris?” Fanny tugged at Christopher, who then came back to his senses.
“Don’t worry. Jonathan hasn’t replied to me yet. It will be fine when he docs.”
Christopher was confident about handling this matter. After all, Jonathan was far away in Riverdon while Christopher was in Northland. He knew better than anyone what Angela had done in Northland.
Even if Angela tried to defend herself, Christopher could easily come up with a plan. He didn’t believe that after Angela did something to hurt Jonathan, Jonathan would still protect
her.
By then, when Angela returned to Riverdon, they would have control over her.
Christopher thought everything out optimistically and then decided to take Fanny home.
He didn’t want Fanny to see too much darkness, nor did he want her to get involved in trouble.
He would handle these matters himself.
When Fanny heard that Christopher was going to take her back to the villa, she whispered. again, “But Chris, I don’t want to go back to Mr. Leigh’s place. Can you help me find a place to stay?”
Her voice was soft as she leaned against Christopher. The man melted at her plea.
He also thought of Dylan entering the villa and said, “In that case, let’s find a nearby house to rent for you to live in. I’ll stay in the dormitory at Northland Medical University.”
Christopher felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

If it were back in Riverdon, he could have easily persuaded Michael to secure a small apartment near the school for them to live in.
But this was Northland, and he had come to this place for refuge. Not only could he not ask Michael for money now, but he also had to be frugal with his pocket money.
Fanny felt a bit uncomfortable at the thought of renting a house again, but considering Dylan’s attitude toward her, she nodded in agreement.
“Thank you, Christopher. Shall we go look at houses now?”
As the two went to look at houses, Angela and Yaxley left for another cafe to continue discussing their project.
After the discussion, Yaxley mentioned the welcome banquet to Angela.
The invitation is here. I almost forgot to give it to you.” Angela remembered the invitation Lara had given her earlier. She took it out and handed it to Yaxley.
Yaxley took it glanced at it indifferently, and pushed it back to Angela, saying, “I might not be able to make it tomorrow.”
Angela was puzzled. “Do you have something to deal with at home again?”
After some thought, Yaxley said, “An elderly family member suddenly fell ill.”
He didn’t go into detail, but Angela knew it must be important family matters.
“If I don’t go either, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?” she asked.
Although she received the invitation today, she was not interested in such a lively occasion and would rather go to the library to read up on books.
“It’s up to you as long as we work on the project. Yaxley thought for a moment before suggesting they go their separate ways.
The two got up and walked out. Yaxley was going to send Angela to Jonathan, but Angela did
not refuse.
Yaxley’s concern for Angela was partly because she was a student that Terence specifically asked him to take care of and partly because Angela was Jonathan’s spouse.
“Do be careful. He didn’t do anything to you this time, but he will definitely try to cause trouble. If anything happens, contact me immediately,” Yaxley immediately instructed Angela.
