Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self (Angela and Joseph)

Chapter 451

Chapter 451 Upsetting Florence

Fanny didn’t get any sympathy as she wailed in pain from the beating, and her already pale face looked even more pitiful. But there was no compassion to be found in that room, and the blows continued unabated.

Fanny knew she had upset Florence again with her words and begged for mercy while crying and screaming in pain. When Fanny pleaded for the second time, Florence lazily called a halt to the beating.

The blows stopped, but Fanny’s tears didn’t. She cried loudly before, and now that she was beaten hard, her face and body were left in a sorry state.

Even though the fists stopped, Fanny still whispered in fear, “Miss Shelton, | was wrong.”

Fanny realized that Florence was angry because she suggested tying down Angel with Kaydron

She thought Florence didn’t like her and Kaydron being together.

“| shouldn’t have made such suggestions...”

As Fanny wiped her tears, she vowed to be more careful with her words around Florence, who had a terrible temper. “Good to know. Those kinds of people... Florence sighed with satisfaction as she relaxed her furrowed brow.

Fanny had guessed half of her intentions, but the main reason was that she had no intention of associating with Angela in the first place.

Secondly, even if she did want to involve Angela, she certainly wouldn't do it with someone like Kaydron. After all, Kaydron was clearly a liability and was unlikely to be of any help whatsoever.

Perhaps sensing the disdain in Florence’s unspoken words, Fanny hesitated before speaking cautiously, “Miss Shelton, even if you don’t need assistance, you can definitely...”

But before she could finish her sentence, Florence interrupted her displeasedly. “I'm not planning to deal with Angela for now, and as for those rotten ideas you came up with earlier, forget about them. 1/4

foitially, upon learning that Angela was Jonathan's wife, Florence had indeed considered. taking action against her. However, she knew that directly targeting Angela would surely displease Jonathan.

She could tell that he had genuine feelings for Angela.

And today, when her men discovered that the bodyguards Jonathan had placed around Angela were all former soldiers or mercenaries, Florence became even more convinced that Jonathan cared deeply for Angela.

Florence was thankful for her team’s thorough probe into Angela’s security while they dug into Kaydron’s case. Despite the rush, it helped her decide not to go after Angela, contrary to Fanny’s suggestion.

Fanny couldn’t grasp Florence’s change of heart and was puzzled by her earlier interest. turning into a different stance.

Upon seeing Florence’s frustrated face, Fanny felt silly. Florence had had enough of the latter’s antics and gave her another hard kick, hitting her where it hurt the most.

Upon hearing Fanny's cries, Florence sighed. “We've got to figure out a way to get Christopher back to Northland. Until then, consider yourself my guest.”

The mention of being a ‘guest' sent chills down Fanny's spine.

Under Florence’s stern look, Fanny kept silent, no matter how torn up inside she felt.

Florence got up casually and headed out the door.

Before leaving, she made sure her associates would take care of Fanny in her absence.

Fanny watched her leave, trembling, then turned to the two people left behind, not sure what to do next.

Reaching out to Christopher to return to Northland felt like a lost cause after his sudden hang-up. However, with two individuals monitoring her now, even though it was late, she reluctantly reached for her phone.

When she did, she realized her phone had unexpectedly powered off.

Earlier, when she noticed someone calling her, she discreetly muted it because she didn’t want to upset Florence, especially when they were in the middle of an important conversation.

After muting it, she completely forgot about her phone.

But to her surprise, her phone had shut down on its own, and only when she tried to turn it

back on did she realize it was out of battery.

Looking at the two ominous figures guarding her, she sighed and asked, “My phone died. Can | charge it first?” The two didn’t give her a hard time, and one of them quickly fetched a charger for her.

As she plugged in her phone to charge, she pondered how to convince Christopher to help her and how to ensure that after Kaydron showed up, he wouldn't target Angela again.

She didn’t want him to focus on her instead of Angela, especially since he still had her photos.

Finally, when her phone was fully charged, she frowned at the missed

Earlier, Scarlet had encountered James hurrying back home. She immediately informed him that she had tried calling her several times throughout the afternoon, only to be met with silence. Eventually, her calls went straight to voicemail, indicating that Fanny’s phone had been switched off. This raised her concern for the latter's safety.

After listening to Scarlet’s account, James also tried calling Fanny, only to be met with the same outcome: her phone was unreachable. Scarlet’s eyes glistened with unshed tears, and without uttering a word, she bolted toward the door, determined to seek help.

James quickly stopped her from going out as he was concerned about the late hour and the darkness outside. “Mom, you're still not fully recovered. It’s late at night, you shouldn't go out. I'll go check on Fanny,” said James. Upon seeing that he was also concerned about Fanny, Scarlet’s worries eased a bit.

He immediately reached out to his acquaintances for help. While he wasn’t deeply connected in the city, he knew a handful of people who might be able to help.

At least it was better than Scarlet going out alone to search for a needle in a haystack.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After asking for help from his acquaintances, he found himself at a loss for what to do next. His brows furrowed in frustration, prompting Scarlet to voice her suspicions.

Perplexed, he responded, “Why would you think it’s her?” Despite his confusion, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Angela didn’t fit the profile of someone capable of such actions.

She elaborated, “Angela has always harbored resentment toward Fanny. | can’t help but wonder if she’s behind this.” Recalling Fanny's exaggerated tales of how Angela allegedly caused her breakup with Yaxley, coupled with Angela’s distant demeanor toward their family. and Zacharias and Joseph in particular, it was easier for Fanny to subtly blame Angela. Naturally, Scarlet grew even more disdainful of Angela.

If only | could turn back time, she mused, / would never have wished for someone as despicable as Angela to be a part of our lives.
