Chapter 341 Who Is He
Chapter 341 Who Is He?
Christopher pushed open the door, and only then did he see Yaxley’s face.
He frowned. He fixed an intense gaze on Yaxley with a blend of confusion and evident hostility in his expression. Then, suddenly pointing at Yaxley, he exclaimed, “It’s you! You’re the man who was with Angela before!”
Fanny was taken aback. After carefully examining Yaxley from head to toe, she froze in her chair.
No wonder she didn’t recognize Yaxley. Yaxley’s appearance now was entirely different from when he was with Angela at the coffee shop!
Previously, Yaxley had been dressed casually, with his hair down, giving off a student–like appearance. However, at present, he was impeccably dressed in a suit.
Fanny vaguely recalled the moment when she fainted on the road. At that moment, Yaxley was dressed as a meticulous clite and took her to the hospital.
The difference in appearance was too drastic for her to realize it was the same person.
However, Christopher recognized him.
Fanny felt extremely conflicted, but her first instinct was to calm Christopher down.
Not only did she fail to recognize Yaxley, but it also appeared that Yaxley didn’t recognize her either.
Yaxley didn’t show any aversion toward her, as if he hadn’t seen her at the coffee shop. Even when Christopher caught Yaxley and Angela red–handed, she was right there.
Fanny briefly recalled that she had not said much in front of Christopher in order to maintain her image, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Whether it was Yaxley taking her to the hospital before or acknowledging their relationship that morning, it all pointed to the fact that Yaxley truly didn’t remember the incident when she was with Christopher.
Fanny had a thousand thoughts in her mind, but in reality, she figured it out in just a second.
After recognizing Yaxley, Christopher looked at him in shock. He then turned to Fanny.
Yaxley turned his gaze toward Christopher, his face devoid of any additional expression. He

coldly inquired, “Do I know you? Do you know Angela?”
When Christopher mentioned Angela, Yaxley naturally assumed that the person was someone Angela knew. So, he casually asked.
Yaxley had a small issue since childhood–he generally wouldn’t remember people he wasn’t familiar with, and sometimes he even displayed symptoms of prosopagnosia. Consequently, most of the time, he immersed himself in his studies or researchi
“You!” Christopher glared at him fiercely. “Are you pretending not to remember? You were at the coffee shop with Angela before…”
“Christopher, don’t get agitated,” Fanny suddenly interrupted, standing up and using her eyes.
to calm him down.
“Fanny?” Christopher’s attention shifted to her, and he realized that Fanny was with Yaxley. “Fanny? Come with me!”
Upon hearing this, Fanny didn’t know what to say. She was worried that Yaxley would recall the incident when she and Christopher had caused trouble together.
Yaxley observed Fanny attentively. Unlike Christopher, who was visibly excited, Yaxley remained calm and composed, even softly inquiring. “Fanny, is he your friend?”
Fanny stood there stiffly, feeling flustered inside.
“Well, he is my friend,” she hesitated before responding to Yaxley but dared not look at Christopher. “He probably got the wrong private room.”
However, Christopher directly asked, “Fanny, I came to find you. Tell me, what were your doing with him?”
As soon as he said this, the faces of the other two people in the private room changed.
Fanny turned pale with worry and fear while Yaxley became displeased at being offended.
His intuition indicated that the person in front of him had a close connection with Fanny.
Despite his inner anger, Christopher managed to maintain his composure, concerned about frightening Fanny.
Truly, a clown always remains a clown, no matter the circumstance.
Yaxley coldly retorted, “Shouldn’t I be asking you that? You barged in and disrupted us. Are you trying to catch us in the act again?”
