Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 468 The Last Option

After wrapping up his call, Christopher found himself approached by a man who wasted no time in questioning. “Was it truly Fanny?” At first glance, the man appeared unassuming yet emanated an aura of roughness that distinguished him. In the past, Christopher would have steered clear of associating with someone of his sort.

Once, the Sanders Family held a much stronger footing, but circumstances had shifted, leaving Christopher wary of further tarnishing his reputation amid the Martinez Family’s troubles. Returning to Riverdon and reintegrating into his former social circle proved to be a challenge. Christopher found himself reluctantly accepting invitations from individuals he once considered beneath him.

While he had long placed blame on the Martinez Family for his misfortunes, recent events had him reevaluating Fanny’s role in his downfall. Lost in contemplation, Christopher remained unresponsive to the man’s inquiry. Sensing his distraction, the man pressed once more, “Mr. Sanders, was it Fanny?” Christopher snapped out of his reverie, responding disdainfully, “Yes.”

Noting Christopher’s displeasure, the man wisely opted not to delve further into the matter. Despite extending an invitation to witness his demise, he understood the importance of maintaining a cordial relationship with the Sanders Family, even amidst their decline.

Seeking to maintain a favorable rapport, he shifted gears. “Mr. Sanders, I heard your father sent you to the company for training. Is there anything I can assist with?”

Christopher eyed him warily, sensing a potential ploy to exploit the Sanders Group. Despite his suspicions, he held his tongue. In a town where few were willing to engage with him, even a nouveau riche from modest beginnings held some appeal over the average family,

“I’ll reach out if I need anything,” Christopher replied curtly as he rose from his seat. “I must take my leave. There are matters I must attend to.”

As Christopher headed for the exit, the man rose to bid him farewell, but Christopher halted him with a gesture. It was only upon leaving the private room that Christopher felt a semblance of relief.

Socializing was not his forte, but his father insisted on his involvement in Riverdon’s social circles. Yet, his circle had shrunk drastically. Former friends distanced themselves, leaving him with few companions. Reluctant to stoop to their level, Christopher found himself mingling with individuals of lesser status, a concession he made begrudgingly.

Deep in thought, Christopher continued down the corridor. However, as he rounded a corner, a group of intoxicated individuals approached, their conversation turning to him. Quietly, Christopher retrieved his phone, feigning disinterest as he listened in.
