Chapter 95 Returning to the Kins Residence to Retrieve the Household Registration.

Fanny was taken aback for a few seconds, not expecting her usually indifferent brother Zacharias to concern himself with such matters.

“Angela got into the car too quickly. I didn’t see, Fanny hesitated, then looked up at Christopher beside her. “If it was Jonathan–you’re here too–wouldn’t he have come down and said hello?”

But Fanny’s words, when heard by others, took on a different meaning immediately.

If the person in the car was indeed Jonathan, why would Angela hide him from sight? This indirectly confirmed Fanny’s worry that Angela had hooked up with some other man, someone unsavory.

Scarlet’s countenance turned grim in response. However, she didn’t flip out. Instead, her tone was incredibly distant. “Our family can’t afford such a daughter.”

“When we get home, immediately have the servants pack her things and throw them out!” George thundered, his voice and demeanor stern, his face growing grimmer by the second.

“Dad, Mom please don’t be hasty. It might just be a misunderstanding.” Fanny seemed startled by George’s outburst and hurriedly explained, looking on the verge of tears. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have brought this up…”

Christopher wrapped an arm around Fanny, comforting her, while stealing glances at George, who was now brimming with anger.

“My cousin rarely leaves the house. He probably doesn’t know I’m here today. I’ll ask him when I get back.” He tightened his grip on Fanny’s hand.

George had acted in a fit of rage earlier inside the hotel, showing no concern for Angela’s well–being. Although he didn’t love Angela, witnessing George’s violent punishment of her left him somewhat shocked.

Last time, after Angela woke up in the hospital, Christopher had overheard nurses gossiping that she had been severely beaten by her father as soon as she regained consciousness. He initially thought the severity had been exaggerated, especially since Angela was George’s biological daughter and that she had already sustained injuries previously. But now, het started having doubts.

Fanny nestled in Christopher’s embrace, squeezed his hand tightly, then lifted her head, her expression filled with worry as she spoke, “If it really was Jonathan, be careful what you say in

front of your future sister–in–law. Don’t mention today’s incident, lest she misunderstand.”

Christopher’s heart sank at her words.

Samuel, on the other hand, sneered, “How can you still be making excuses for her at this point, Fanny? Whether it’s with Jonathan or any other man, she’s a despicable third wheel. What’s the difference?”
