Chapter 441 Establishing Boundaries
Jane did not foresee Florence's sudden arrival.
Upon the sudden entrance of a few individuals into the private room, Jane, who was still being served drinks by the person summoned by Harley, cast a
narrowed gaze toward the door.
"Who is present?" Experiencing irritation due to the intrusion, Harley glared at the
newcomers.
The man standing at the door, dressed in a formal suit with a clear bodyguard presence, gestured to Jane and Harley, indicating that his presence was solely to assist in opening the door. Upon verifying the bodyguard's identity, Jane and Harley observed as he moved to the side, unveiling Florence standing behind him.
"Mi-Miss Shelton?" Harley stammered in astonishment, nearly choking on her words.
Florence casually glanced at them, disregarding Harley, and waved her hand before her nose while disdainfully speaking. "Transfer them to an alternative room. Upon issuing the command, she proceeded into the adjoining private
room.
Despite feeling somewhat bewildered, Jane and Harley obediently complied with Florence's instruction and moved to the new private room.
Very soon, in the upcoming private room. Jane and Harley were positioned in seats opposite. Florence.
*Miss Shelton, do you need any assistance from us?" Harley politely inquired, directing hist question towards Florence.
Florence observed the duo before her and asked, "Who is Jane Coolidge?"
Jane's expression changed momentarily, but she promptly composed herself and responded,
I am Miss Shelton. How may I assist you?" Upon responding cautiously, she contemplated her recent actions. Upon further reflection, she realized she had not committed any offence against Miss Shelton from the Shelton Family. Momentarily experiencing a state of confusion. Harley also gazed at her, indicating with a lowered head and eyes. Upon witnessing it, Jane could only shake her head helplessly in response.
Despite their belief in their discretion, Florence closely observed their interactions. Nevertheless, she refrained from revealing their intentions and asked, "Are you Christopher's girlfriend?" Florence observed Jane closely. Initially, Florence had planned to capture Christopher as a means to exert pressure on Jonathan. However, she had not foreseen Christopher's prompt return to Riverdon. Given the potential difficulty in locating Christopher, she considered it equally effective to find his girlfriend.

Upon receiving this information, Jane promptly shook her head and provided clarification. "Miss Shelton, Christopher and I have separated. He has returned to Riverdon, making it unfeasible for us to reunite." Motivated by self-preservation, Jane promptly disavowed any connection with Christopher. Upon noticing Florence's furrowed brow, Jane felt a sense of regret.
Fortunately, Florence only conveyed slight disapproval before giving instructions. "Summon Christopher to return to Northland."
Jane acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding Florence's intentions and realized that convincing Christopher to return at this point would probably not be successful. She murmured, "Miss Shelton, if I request him to return, he will not approve. Look..."
Before Jane could provide further details, Florence's companion impatiently interrupted. "If Miss Shelton directs you to make a call, please comply. Why hesitate?"
Jane promptly retrieved her phone and dialed Christopher's number without further delay.
Despite the persistent ringing. Christopher did not respond. Jane experienced a feeling of relief. Usually, his lack of response would have led her to devise different forms of retaliation. However, she harbored a silent hope that he would never respond. Upon the persistent ringing of the unanswered call, Jane exhaled a sigh of relief.
Just as Jane was about to inform Florence that she was no longer affiliated with Christopher, Florence abruptly signaled to the person next to her. "Use this cell phone to call him again."
The individual gave Jane a cell phone and directed her to reach out to Christopher once
more.
Jane refrained from showing any signs of discontent on her face. She accepted the cell phone and promptly entered Christopher's number before making the
call.
On this occasion, the phone rang multiple times before Christopher responded, "Hello?" His voice came through the phone.
Jane glanced at Florence, who responded composedly before speaking abruptly. "Christopher, it is imperative that you promptly return to Northland."
Upon receiving a call from Jane, Christopher displayed surprise and asked, "Jane?" On this occasion, he omitted the formal salutation and addressed her by her name, Jane.
Jane experienced a feeling of relief in response to Christopher's tone. "It's me, Jane. Did you hear me asking you to return to Northland?" Her usual authoritative tone was accompanied by a subtle tremor that was challenging to discern.
Florence attentively observed Jane and awaited Christopher's reaction.

Christopher didn't keep them waiting for an extended period and responded coldly. "Jane, I am not obligated to adhere to your directives."
Christopher's words resonated with Jane, delineating clear boundaries between them for Florence. Jane exhaled a sigh of relief and was on the verge of concluding the call when Florence intercepted the phone from her.
"Christopher, did Jonathan instruct you to hide in Riverdon?" Florence's voice exhibited at passive quality, yet it also conveyed a subtle undertone of coldness.
Christopher didn't respond immediately. However, Florence could perceive him inhaling on the other end.
Florence maintained her composure and commented, "Ensure that you hide effectively in Riverdon."
Only after Florence ended the call did Christopher experience a feeling of relief. He had never anticipated that Florence would have any communication with Jane. He could not risk opposing both individuals, with Florence being particularly influential. Christopher felt a persistent sense of unease due to the actions of the ruthless individuals und
Florence's leadership. Without delay, he quickly returned to the Sanders Family.
Despite lacking the same level of freedom within his home environment, it is undeniable that he was more secure there.
