Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 371 You Should Be Thankful That Nothing Happened

Yaxley gave Fanny a cold glance and inquired, “Nothing transpired that night, did it?”

Fanny paled, caught off guard by Yaxley’s question. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Yaxley furrowed his brow as he observed her. Unable to discern Fanny’s expression, he didn’t try to understand her feelings. After a moment, he grew impatient and pressed. “Are you not going to tell me?”

Fanny was startled by his tone, lifted her head resolutely, and inquired. “If I confess, will you release me? While I was involved in those activities, most of it was at Dylan’s behest!” Moreover, Dylan is also responsible for Yoanna’s car accident. Since Dylan won’t be free for a while, he should shoulder all the blame!

“Release you?” Yaxley frowned. “No one is attempting to bail you out?” He thought of Fanny’s former lover. Christopher. Although he didn’t know much about their relationship, he suspected Christopher might find a way to secure Fanny’s release.

Fanny clenched her teeth in frustration. Seeing Yaxley’s oblivious expression, she realized the subordinates had acted against his wishes.

Yaxley had no intention of blocking anyone specifically from bailing her out. It was the subordinates who had imposed such a rule to appease

him.

Joseph has been here before, but the police denied my bail request, Fanny said pitifully, gazing at Yaxley. “Yaxley, I was deceived by Dylan before. I won’t make the same mistake again. Please release me.”

Yaxley coldly cut her off. “Answer my question first. Fanny was accustomed to playing the victim, so he needed to be cautious around her. He had no desire to further involve himself with her, but he also had no intention of causing harm.

“I… Fanny bit her lip. She was unsure whether to tell the truth or not. That night. Yaxley had been heavily sedated and was incapable of doing anything, even if she had wanted to. However, she feared he would walk away if she admitted that nothing had occurred between them. After all, she had been manipulating him all along, and he had assumed that something had transpired between them when he woke up.

“Nothing happened?” Yaxley questioned bluntly. His voice was cold and abrupt, startling Fanny, who was still deliberating. In the end, she couldn’t withstand the pressure and nodded.
