After a one–sided scuffle, Jane snorted disdainfully and gave Christopher a contemptuous glance. “Tsk. I didn’t expect you to have such endurance.”

Christopher’s face bore the marks of Jane’s slaps and scratches, and his suit also showed signs of her aggression. Despite being able to endure, he didn’t retaliate after the initial impulse to slap her.

What frustrated Jane was the soreness in her arms from the altercation.

“Ms. Coolidge, have you released all your anger?” Christopher inquired with a lowered voice.

Jane retorted, “What if I haven’t? Will you return tomorrow for another round of hits?”

She intended her words as a taunt, but Christopher didn’t respond. Instead, he raised his hand and swung it fiercely.

His sudden movement startled Jane, causing her to step back.

But instead of landing on Jane, Christopher’s slap struck his face. “Consider this my apology to you, Ms Coolidge. I hope you can overlook my earlier impulsiveness.”

Jane observed Christopher’s instantly swollen face with a hint of amusement.

It is interesting.

Before she could tease him further, Christopher turned and departed.

“Hey, Wait.” It wasn’t until he had taken a few steps away that Jane reacted.

Upon reaching the restaurant hall’s front desk, Christopher had already left the premises. She moved to catch up, but a waiter intercepted her.

“Miss, your private room’s bill hasn’t been settled yet.”

The waiter appeared slightly embarrassed but unable to stop Christopher, who had left earlier. He could only detain Jane.

Jane frowned, retrieved a card from her bag, and handed it over.

She had anticipated Christopher leaving after paying the bill. Those slaps earlier had let him off too easily.

After paying the bill, she discovered that Christopher was nowhere in sight. She cursed him under her breath when her phone suddenly rang.

It was her father inquiring about her interactions with Christopher.

She understood her father’s temperament well. She knew that claiming she did not get along with Christopher would prompt him to arrange a meeting with someone else immediately.

She had no intention of dating at the moment. Although she felt nothing for Christopher, she casually remarked, “Our interaction was fine, but we still need more time to see if we’re compatible.

Someone like Christopher, who came from a small town, was easy for her to handle. After today’s incident. Christopher probably wouldn’t dare to provoke her again.

After ending the call, Jane sent a text message to Christopher.

Meanwhile, Christopher was driving home.

He had previously rented a house for Fanny. Since she hadn’t moved in, he had moved from the school dormitory to live there himself.

However, he wasn’t going home to rest now. Instead, he wanted to change clothes and freshen up before seeing Fanny.

After changing his clothes, he noticed the marks on his face were particularly prominent, causing him to hesitate.

Will Fanny be upset if I visit with these marks?

He was hesitating when suddenly the phone rang.

Upon answering, he realized it was Joseph on the line.

“Joseph?

What’s going on?” His mind was solely focused on Fanny, and Joseph and others knew about his feelings for Fanny, so it made sense for them to address Joseph as a brother.

Joseph.seemed rushed as he inquired, “Have you seen Fanny? I just finished work, and I’ll come over right

away.

In the middle of the conversation, Joseph took a heavy breath, indicating his urgency.

Christopher felt a pang in his heart and asked, “Joseph, haven’t you gone to see Fanny yet?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He suddenly remembered that when Joseph informed him earlier, there was some noise on Joseph’s end, and he couldn’t quite hear what he was saying.

He thought Joseph had gone to the police station first.

So when Michael asked him to choose between Sophia and Jane for a date, he temporarily put aside his. worries about Fanny and went on a date with Jane.

But now, Joseph said he had just gotten off work.

Could it be that Fanny had been alone at the police station all this time, with no one going to see her?

The thought filled Christopher with guilt and panic.

Joseph, on the other end of the phone, also quickly realized, questioning. “Why haven’t you gone to see Fanny? Didn’t I ask you to go first?”

He was too busy at the hospital to come out, and Christopher was busy with something else.

Joseph, I’ll go right now.”

“I can go by myself. I don’t need you. Mr. Sanders.” Joseph snorted and hung up the phone directly

The two of them rushed to the police station and arrived at the station simultaneously.

It was already 10 p.m., and one person showed visible exhaustion on their face while the other wore a mask and sunglasses, looking rather comical.

The person wearing the mask and sunglasses was Christopher. Only in this way could he cover the marks

on his face.

After exchanging glances, only Christopher politely called out “Joseph,” but Joseph completely ignored

him.

After entering the police station and explaining their purpose, the on–duty officer pulled out Fanny’s record, looking puzzled. “Why haven’t you all come in the afternoon?”

Fanny had been brought into the police station at noon, and her family had been notified, but they had yet to arrive, only showing up in the dead of night.

Both of them awkwardly smiled and asked how they could bail her out..

“It’s not possible to bail her out.”

The officer had already reviewed Fanny’s case, saying it was serious and not serious at the same time, as she had gotten involved with the young master of the Collier Family, Yaxley. Mr. Louise had specifically instructed this case so they couldn’t release her.

Upon hearing this, they were stunned.

“How can it not be possible to bail her out? Officer, are you mistaken? Fanny didn’t do anything wrong.”

Even if she did, if the offense wasn’t serious, she should be able to be bailed out.

“Tsk. I said she can’t be bailed out. Do you want to see her or not? If not, then leave.”

“We do,” they said in unison.

The officer slowly got up and led them to the temporary holding cell where Fanny was being kept. Fanny sat in the compartment, hugging her knees, her head buried in her legs, feeling extremely low.

She thought that if she contacted James, he would quickly help her contact Joseph and have him see her. However, she ended up waiting for the whole afternoon.

As time passed, she couldn’t help but start doubting herself. Could it be that James and Joseph had no intention of paying attention to her?

The thought of this possibility inevitably filled Fanny with resentment.

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. She lifted her head in a daze and met Joseph’s face,

“Joseph” Fanny approached the iron railing with excitement, looking at the man outside.

Joseph gazed at Fanny’s exhausted appearance, his heart filled with pain. “It’s me. It’s Joseph. Fanny, you’ve

Fanny reached out and grabbed Joseph’s hand. “Joseph, please find a way to get me out of here. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

Before Joseph could respond. Christopher said. “Fanny, don’t worry. We will find a way to rescue you.
