Chapter 491
Chapter 491 What’s He Ranting About?
Joseph began to gently prod Fanny for further details, his tone softening. After a while, he whispered, “It’s okay if you don’t want
to talk about it right now,” noticing her watery eyes. So that you may relax, let’s return to your room. When James comes back,
we can talk about everything.”
With a kind nod, Fanny brushed away her tears and left in silence. One by one, the Kins Family members went to their rooms as
the night wore on to get some rest. Christopher, on the other hand, was unable to sleep and became more and more restless at
Riverdon. He headed toward the nightclub, desperate for something to divert his attention.
As he entered the boisterous club, he was recognized by a blonde man who was standing at the door, waving to him and calling
him “Mr. Sanders!”
Christopher did not even bother to reply, hardly acknowledging him. Despite Christopher’s apathy, the blonde man stayed
focused, grinning politely and displaying respect.
“Mr. Sanders, Mr. Craig specifically asked me to wait for you.”
Christopher reluctantly said, “Lead the way.”
When he heard back, the blond man grinned and led Christopher, “Alright, Mr. Sanders, this way, please, I’ll take you there.”
Christopher trailed along, but his spirits did not rise. His demeanor did not alter even after he entered the private area and was
greeted and applauded by everyone.
“Mr. Sanders, is something troubling you?”
Alexander, who had extended the invitation, handled Christopher’s feelings by seeing his disgruntled countenance and asking
him straight out why. Alexander poured Christopher a glass of wine as he sat down next to him His approach was more informal,
like he was speaking to a friend, even if his tone was worried
Though he took the wine, Christopher did not smile or share a toast with Alexander. “It’s nothing.”
Though restless, Christopher regretted coming when he saw that the private area was crowded with low–class aristocrats like
Master Jonathan. He realized he no longer belonged in the upper social circles where he had formerly flourished after seeing
these folks from common origins.
Christopher was unable to get rid of the sensation that everything had altered. Back when the Sanders Family was doing well, he
never would have taken the time to look at the folks in this private chamber. But aside from them, nobody else seems eager to
interact with him.
Is Mr. Sanders unwilling to speak? That’s alright. The others, even Jonathan, can guess.” Beside Alexander, another man spoke
out.
Although Alexander appeared somewhat annoyed, there was a faint smirk on the corner of his mouth. Alexander did not feel
obligated to compliment Christopher even if he had invited him. The Sanders Family may have seemed formidable at first, but
Christopher’s bad reputation in Riverdon contributed to their downfall. Christopher knitted his eyebrows.
With a frigid stare, he studied the guy who conjectured about him, observing his coarse features and obscene actions, which
made his brows furrow even more. Regretfully, the man’s remarks led the other people in the room to begin speculating.
“Mr. Sanders is already running his own business at such a young age. Could business–related issues be the source of his
worries?” The conversation was initiated by one individual, who spoke in a cool, non–offensive manner.
Another person complimented Christopher’s skills, implying that there could be another issue with him.
Someone with blonde hair questioned, “Could Mr. Sanders be thinking about his Angela?” abruptly.
There was uncertainty and chitchat.
This is really ridiculous! They seem to be talking about him as though he were someone they could easily control.
Christopher rose abruptly, casting a chilly glance at the blonde who had used the word “Angela.” A shiver ran down the blonde’s
spine under Christopher’s look.
Alexander swiftly calmed Christopher down when he appeared to be about to blow out, saying, “Mr. Sanders, they have little
knowledge and don’t know what they’re talking about.” Do not lower yourself to their level, ease.”
Christopher did not lash out as he gazed at him, his demeanor remaining composed.
Alexander was able to regain control of the situation and yelled, “Apologies to Mr. Sanders, all of you!”
Everyone in attendance gave Alexander some face even though he was the one who scheduled today’s game. Those who had
made fun of Christopher earlier expressed regret once he was done speaking.
Someone said, “Mr. Sanders, our assumptions were incorrect. We ought not to have interrupted each other.”
“As a penalty, Mr. Sanders, I’ll down three glasses! I’m sorry to you.” Someone took a glass and drank three glasses very rapidly.
This individual finished their drink, and the others started to sometimes apologize to Christopher. Eventually, Christopher gave a
chilly snort, looked about at the people, and turned to go.
“Hey? Is Mr. Sanders heading out? Though Alexander tried to stop him, Christopher glared at him and hissed, “Move aside.”
Alexander could only let Christopher go since he insisted on going and he dared not stop him.
But no sooner had Christopher exited the private area than there were many sneers audible in the once silent space.
Does he truly believe that the Sanders Family is now? That’s right. The Sanders
Family may not be particularly noteworthy these days, but his reputation in Riverdon is still absurd.”
Is it not? Why is he acting so haughtily? This was made into such a huge thing by the Martinez family that everyone is aware of
it.”
The folks in the private area began acting in ways that were very different from how they had behaved toward Christopher.
“Even though the Sanders Family is not doing well, don’t forget who Jonathan and Christopher’s father is,” Alexander stated with
a disapproving click of his tongue. It’s essential to use greater caution when he was there, but you may say these things behind
his back.”
This group was more inclined to heed Alexander’s comments, which is why he could occasionally arrange drinking parties with
them.
Mr. Craig is accurate. Despite the fact that Jonathan is only the Sanders family’s half–brother, they made no qualms about
reaching out to him.” correct away, someone said, “That’s right, Jonathan is not someone to be trifled with.”
However, other people bravely said, “What’s to fear? Not even in Riverdon is he.
Alexander gave him a quick look. “His deputy can handle things even in his absence. Regardless, Christopher should not be
very offended in order to prevent problems from getting to Jonathan.”
Simon was the deputy he referenced, the one Jonathan had purposefully left behind when he departed Riverdon. Alexander
cautioned the guy not to exhibit his resentment on his face, even if he felt it.
The meeting today was uncomfortable, so Alexander soon let everyone to go.
Meanwhile, Christopher, who left, had no intention of going home and instead took a stroll on the road. It was not until dawn that
he finally got into a car and returned home.
