“Joseph? Why are you back?” Fanny looked at Joseph with a mix of surprise and fear, unsure of where to place her hands and feet.

“Fanny, you shouldn’t have returned. Angela won’t go easy on Zacharias if she finds out,” Joseph said, his tone softening at the sight of Fanny’s pitiful expression.

“Joseph, I can’t go back to the Lynch Family. That woman treated me so poorly before, and even though she’s locked up now, people will still gossip about me.”

Fanny cried as she spoke, appearing very pitiful.

“Didn’t Mom rent a house for you?” Joseph suggested helplessly. “Move in there. You can always come to us if you need anything but don’t come back here. That way, Angela won’t have a chance to find fault with you.”

Fanny bit her lip, about to say something, when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the kitchen.

Fanny continued to plead, “But I want to be closer to my brothers so I can see all of you more

often.”

Scarlet had been kind to her, but the place she had rented before, as a compromise with Angela to save Zacharias, was not only far away but also had poor conditions.

She didn’t want to live in such a remote place.

Joseph asked, “Fanny, do you want to take care of Mom? I’ve already hired a caregiver, so you
