Chapter 327 She Needed Some Time Alone
After learning about the trouble caused by Christopher, Jonathan furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment before saying, “It appears that he’s too comfortable. Rest assured, I will take care of this and ensure he doesn’t bother you for a while.”
Michael had sent Christopher to Northland for safety, but the younger man didn’t seem interested in seeking refuge. He was simply looking for trouble.
“With Jonathan here, I’m not worried,” Angela remarked without inquiring about Jonathan’s plans.
Christopher was undeniably bothersome, but as long as he didn’t trouble her, she was fine
with it.
Jonathan mentioned having accommodations in Northland, so they returned to the hotel, retrieved their belongings, and made their way to their lodging.
Meanwhile, shortly after receiving the news from Jonathan, Michael phoned Christopher and reprimanded him.
When Christopher received Michael’s call, he had just secured a house with Fanny.
Fanny was exploring the house, and her mood was improving.
After ending the call, Christopher sought out Fanny and whispered, “Fanny, I may be occupied with other matters in the coming days and might not be able to assist you for a while.”
Taken aback, Fanny asked with a hint of hurt in her tone, “Chris, are you saying you won’t help me anymore?”
Christopher reluctantly nodded and added, “Mr. Leigh is based in Northland. With his assistance, you should be able to resolve matters concerning Angela.”
Although Fanny didn’t anticipate Christopher’s withdrawal at this juncture, she refrained from further comment, merely biting her lip and saying, “Chris, if you’re busy, you don’t need to dedicate too much time to helping me, but can I reach out to you later?”
Christopher couldn’t refuse Fanny, so he casually commented, “You can, but please inform me in advance.”
Considering Michael had instructed him to act cautiously in Northland, he refrained from mentioning assisting Angela any further.

At least outwardly, Christopher couldn’t take any further action.
Moreover, before Michael had summoned him to Northland, he had arranged a blind date
for him.
Christopher couldn’t disclose the blind date to Fanny, as it would surely upset her
Yet, he couldn’t decline the blind date either and had to attempt to expedite it, given the unfavorable situation the Sanders Family found themselves in after being manipulated by the Martinez Family.
With Christopher’s assurance, Fanny no longer pressed the issue.
Following a brief exchange. Fanny bid Christopher farewell.
As she prepared to head to the villa Dylan had arranged for her to retrieve her belongings, she received a call from Dylan.
“My dear Fanny, why haven’t you returned home yet?”
Upon hearing Dylan’s voice, Fanny couldn’t help but shudder, suppressing her discomfort as she softly replied, “Mr. Leigh, I found a house near the school, and I intend to move in there.”
She couldn’t afford to offend Dylan, hence her gentle tone.
After a moment of silence, Dylan questioned, “Fanny, why are you being disobedient? I specially prepared a villa for you, but you insist on renting a house. Don’t you think you’re hurting my feelings?”
t
Uncertain how to respond, Fanny was taken aback when Dylan continued, “I was planning to introduce you to the sons of some close friehds of mine. Your father tasked me with finding you a suitable husband in Northland.”
“What? Dad asked you to find me…” Fanny was bewildered and perplexed.
Dylan remarked, “Indeed, that’s what your father intended. I am aware that Angela hast tarnished your reputation in Riverdon, but this information has not reached Northland. Do not fret, dear Fanny. I will certainly introduce you to a respectable family.”
Despite the fact that the Leigh Family was somewhat respected compared to Riverdon families, it did not hold the same status as noble families in Northland.
Chris is keeping something from me. This isn’t the first time. He’s going on another blind date, and he hasn’t informed me!
