As they entered the room, the two of them exchanged a few words before settling down.
Inside, despite the brief wait, Fanny couldn’t shake off a growing sense of unease. She replayed their previous conversation in her mind, wondering if she had misspoken or acted too hastily. Bringing up Angela directly might have been a mistake.
As they took their seats across from her, Fanny felt her tension rising. She almost rose from her seat, but they appeared unperturbed by her nervousness, calmly seating themselves.
“May I see Mr. Reed now?” Fanny attempted to maintain a steady voice, noting their silence. The recent incident weighed heavily on her, and she feared it might affect her meeting with Kaydron. Fulfilling Florence’s instructions was paramount, especially with all the incriminating evidence still in her possession.
The thought of returning to Riverdon as per Christopher’s plan hinged upon completing Florence’s tasks, adding to Fanny’s impatience.
“You may came the response, cliciting a relieved sigh from Fanny.
Shortly after, she met with Kaydron.
Once escorted to the designated location, they were left alone for their discussion.
However, Fanny discreetly noted a surveillance camera in the corner of the room.
Although not yet common, the police station had installed a few surveillance cameras.
The meeting place where Fanny and Kaydron met was not only separated by iron railings but also under surveillance.
Kaydron, visibly distressed with bloodshot eyes, rushed to the iron railing upon spotting Fanny, trying to get as close to her as possible.
“Fanny! You’re finally here.”
He had waited inside for a long time, even pleading with the police to urge Fanny to come.
He feared she might not show up.
Kaydron had even counted down in his mind, ready to spill all of Fanny’s secrets if she failed.
to arrive.
He harbored no desire for Fanny’s life to be straightforward.

Yet, he hadn’t yet betrayed her, a fact that likely motivated her presence. Otherwise, she might have refused to come altogether.
Stepping back, Fanny maintained a veneer of composure, though beneath it, she harbored a well of disdain. She cut to the chase, her tone direct, “Mr. Reed, did you summon me here to bail you out?”
Her words triggered a flicker of unease in Kaydron. He scrutinized Fanny’s ivory–skin face, to search for any telltale signs of deception but he couldn’t tell what was amissed.
“Yes. I need you to bail me out,” he responded urgently, his focus singularly fixed on this lifeline.
For him, obeying her directives against Angela had become second nature, forging a peculiar bond between them.
Despite the desperation in Kaydron’s eyes, Fanny remained cool–headed. She offered a cryptic observation. “Your current predicament differs from the last time, Mr. Reed. Once enmeshed in such matters, extrication becomes a daunting task.”
Though her words veiled their true meaning. Kaydron discerned the implication.
At the mention of “such matters,” a surge of anticipation coursed through Kaydron. He couldn’t suppress his urgency any longer.
“Fanny, I swear I didn’t touch it! I’ve been falsely accused,” he protested as he still couldn’t figure out why his fingerprints ended up on that bag. Anxious and aggrieved, he grappled with the injustice of his situation.
Fanny sighed, her patience wearing thin. “Mr. Reed, it’s futile to confide in me. You must relay this to the authorities. Only by dispelling these suspicions can I assist in securing your release.”
Kaydron had exhausted his efforts in explanation, to no avail.
“What am I supposed to tell them? I’m at a loss,” Kaydron lamented, frustration evident as he pounded his head, akin to a caged animal fighting for escape.
Sensing the need to take control, Fanny intervened decisively. “Mr. Reed, allow me to guide the conversation. Answer my inquiries.”
Initially startled, Kaydron acquiesced, recognizing the logic behind Fanny’s approach.
With his compliance, Fanny eased into a series of questions, starting innocuously but laden with insinuations, subtly hinting at her associations with the Collier Family, even casually mentioning plans with Aya.

As the interrogation progressed, Kaydron felt increasingly disoriented, but it was those earlier probing from Fanny and her subtle hints that suddenly made him realize how she and the Collier Family might be connected.
Could aligning with Fanny lead to his release?
The notion spurred Kaydron to cooperate, answering Fanny’s leading questions in line with her implicit intentions.
While complying, Kaydron mulled over his leverage over Fanny, contemplating the consequences should she fail to secure his freedom.
With this bargaining chip in mind, Kaydron became more cooperative, eager to leverage Fanny’s connections.
If Fanny couldn’t get him released, he would ruin Fanny’s reputation. He still held something of Fanny’s in his hands.
With this bargaining chip in mind, Kaydron became more cooperative, eager to leverage Fanny’s connections.
Satisfied with Kaydron’s responsiveness, Fanny smoothly transitioned to the topic of narcotics.
“The substances discovered in your vehicle by law enforcement–were they provided by Angela?” Fanny inquired, catching Kaydron off guard yet receiving a swift affirmation in
response.
“Yes.”
Internally jubilant, Fanny maintained her composed facade, seeking confirmation once more, “Are you certain?”
“Absolutely. Angela provided me with those drugs,” Kaydron affirmed reluctantly, his admission tinged with resentment. “Are we done here? Your incessant questioning won’t change the fact that I’m innocent. Figure out how to get me out of here already!”
As Kaydron disclosed to Fanny the source of the drugs, a twinge of remorse gnawed at him.
Never before had he acknowledged his association with those illicit substances, yet under Fanny’s coaxing, he implicated Angela as their supplier.
It was as if by Fanny’s prompting, he voluntarily confirmed his involvement with the contraband.
Despite his unease, Kaydron clung to hope that Fanny could leverage her ties with the Collier Family for his swift release.

Though Kaydron lashed out at Fanny in a moment of frustration, she harbored no resentment, instead buoyed by her triumph.

In Kaydron’s admission of Angela’s involvement, Fanny not only fulfilled Florence’s directive. but also successfully implicated Angela in the drug affair.
Regardless of whether Angela will be convicted in the end, Fanny felt extremely relieved at this moment.
Because she was extremely relieved in her heart, Fanny even found Kaydron’s angry expression quite pleasing.
Rarely, she spoke to appease Kaydron, “Mr. Reed, don’t be angry. It’s all good once it’s cleared up. Since the drugs are not yours, I will also explain to the police, and I will do my best to bail you out.”
