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.
She had not completely severed ties with Fanny as she still hoped to obtain money from her. Following Britney’s departure, Fanny did not retreat to her room but instead went to George’s quarters.
“Dad, Ms. Kourt has returned and issued threats against me.”
With a quavering voice, Fanny knocked on the door and burst into tears as soon as it opened.
“Why does that woman dare to return?” George, who has been relatively reclusive lately, recalled the encounter when Linda accosted him and subsequently encountered Britney at his doorstep.
During that encounter, he, too, was threatened by Britney. He realized that Britney had obtained Fanny’s whereabouts from him. Not only did she abscond with Fanny’s money, but

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
anger.
Fanny nodded solemnly. “I am. You must have been influenced by Angela, which is why the police kept bothering you. She had conspired with Linda before to harm me, don’t you
remember?”
As she recounted the past, she appeared deeply upset with teary eyes.
When Fanny mentioned Linda again, George’s expression changed, and he slammed the table forcefully!
“Yes! It must be Angela who influenced my Linda! Otherwise, Linda wouldn’t have done such a thing!”
George was so agitated that the wounds inflicted by Linda were throbbing, but he clenched. his teeth and directed all his anger toward Angela!
“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.”

Linda turned into what SII and fearful.

Angry at Angela’s malice, she feared the consequences if Linda had not gone mad. She might have accused him of pushing someone.
“It’s Angela, for sure! She must be afraid that Linda will expose what she made her do, so she did something so extreme.” After saying this, Fanny observed George’s expression.
Concerned that George might not believe her, Fanny continued, “Dad, one morning, I was tied up at a construction site, and Angela must have arranged it. She enjoys these kinds of schemes.”
“She did that to you?” George was furious. Fanny had always been sheltered in their family and never allowed to endure any hardships, especially due to her fragile health, as we always took extra care of her. How dare she have someone tie up our Fanny, he thought.
“We’ll go confront her. I’m not afraid to face her and demand the truth.” George was outraged, growing more furious as he spoke, ready to confront Angela.
Recently, due to the issues with Linda and Scarlet, he distanced himself slightly from the family. Still, Scarlet ended up in a coma, and Linda went insane, making him realize that his children were his top priority. On top of that, Angela, who dared to harm a member of their family, completely disregarded him.
Seeing that George fully believed her, Fanny continued tearfully, “But Angela has gone to Northland now, Dad. Please don’t be upset. Please don’t jeopardize your health. Jonathan and Joseph said that they will find a solution soon.”
George slammed the table. “Wait for them to find a solution? By then, it will be too late. Fanny, trust me. I’m taking you to Northland now. We will confront Angela face to face!”
“But Jonathan and Joseph advised me not to leave home, and my relationship with Christopher has become public knowledge throughout Riverton. I–1…”
If her reputation had not been tarnished in Riverdon, Fanny would not have had to implore George. Among the Kins Family, only George, with a straightforward mind, could truly assist her in this situation.
Seeing Fanny with teary eyes, George recalled the news in the newspaper and declared, “Dad will go alone, you stay here. I will ensure that Angela explains this.”
Upon discovering that Angela was not in Riverdon, George became enraged. He had recently sent Angela to visit Scarlet, instructing her to find a way to awaken Scarlet. However, she failed to comply with his request and secretly fled to Northland.

Clearly, she did not take me seriously, he thought.
He resolved to travel to Northland, retrieve Angela, and compel her to awaken Scarlet.
