Does he think Angela is not deserving of the Collier Family? Fanny could guess Dylan's intentions, but she chose to feign ignorance.

Dylan proceeded to elaborate, "Didn't Yaxley agree to be engaged with you? That means you should familiarize yourself with his family background." Fanny helplessly asked as she fidgeted with her fingers, "But how am I supposed to do that?"

"I'll help you." Dylan added, "I'll have my assistant provide you with details about the Leigh Family later today. Just look it up then."

Fanny accepted the offer, and her sour mood, which Angela caused, improved significantly.

However, it only lasted a brief moment when she thought of Angela again.

She inquired, "My father also wanted me to ask you if you could deal with Angela sooner, Mr. Leigh?"

Fanny couldn't tolerate Angela any longer, so she used George's name to amp up the pressure.

The thought of Angela thriving in Riverdon and now in Northland had made Fanny agitated. Angela does not deserve this!

"Good opportunities don't come by often." Dylan hesitated for a while before replying.

He was initially tasked by George to deal with Angela back then, but Dylan

had now refrained from taking action because George had not mentioned what to do with Angela during their recent conversation.

Fanny gritted her teeth and said when she saw his reluctance, "But Angela knows Yaxley. She could jeopardize my relationship with him by telling him about me if she remains in his company."

Dylan immediately became wary and replied, "Keep on the lookout for opportunities if that's the case. Do not hesitate to contact me if you require assistance."

Fanny finally felt relieved when she heard his response. She nodded in agreement, and Dylan took his leave following that.

However, another knocking on the door was heard right after Fanny bid Dylan farewell.

She was surprised when she met Christopher, who she saw after opening the door.

Christopher had unexpectedly arrived at her doorstep, and it caused Fanny to panic as she held onto the door. "Why are you here?"

Why isn't Christopher attending his classes?

"I feel unsettled, Fanny. I miss you," Christopher confessed.

He had just attended his potential soon-to-be marriage arranged by his family yesterday, but distractions had caused him to displease the lady's family.

So, Michael Sanders had prohibited him from attending any arrangement for the time being when he learned about that.

Christopher sought out Fanny, who he wanted to see in his own will.

"Won't you allow me to come in and talk, Fanny?" Fanny remained silent, so he had no choice but to try another approach.

However, Fanny stood firm at the door and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be meeting with your potential partners for your marriage? Why are you here?"

Christopher felt a sense of guilt as he had tried to conceal the fact that he had met other ladies from Fanny before.

But he knew he had no excuse at that instant.

He wholeheartedly apologized while looking at Fanny with a rueful smile, "I'm sorry, Fanny. I—"

"It's okay. No need to explain," Fanny interjected. "I understand that you are forced, so I don't blame you, Christopher."

Christopher promptly let out a sigh of relief when he heard that.

Fortunately, Fanny knew he wasn't acting of his own accord. The last thing he would want in this world was being misunderstood by her.

Fanny couldn't help but roll her eyes up deep down when she noticed Christopher exhaled in relief. Then, she continued with a hint of sorrow, "But, we should steer clear of each other since you

are meeting other women for dates. I wouldn't want a repeat of what happened in Riverdon. I don't want you to get hurt again..."

She wasn't worried that Christopher was going on blind dates with other women. She knew he would always come back to her as long as she had a place in his heart.

But she couldn't let Christopher come to her side at this moment because he would disrupt her plans.

She had to give it her all to deal with Yaxley now, and she didn't have time to deal with Christopher. Unfortunately, Christopher didn't know about that. He only listened to Fanny's words, feeling sad.

It seemed Fanny had already resorted to this to prevent him from being hurt again.

He wanted to abandon everything and take Fanny somewhere far away, but he remained realistic. He only said, "Fanny... I'm so sorry. I've wronged you."

"I don't blame you, Christopher. It was our fathers who

had arranged them for us separately, after all. I don't think we can get out of this predicament anytime soon. But, come look for me if you manage to get out of this somehow someday. I'll..." Christopher understood her even though she didn't finish her sentence, and the tears in his eyes diminished.

"Okay..." Christopher answered before he turned and left dejectedly.

The day passed in the blink of an eye. It was already evening...

Yaxley invited Angela to a party organized by Mobius.

The party was held at one of Mobius' houses. There were already quite a few people inside the house when they arrived.

Most of the people Mobius had invited were their classmates. They were all young gentlemen and ladies from prestigious families.

Angela didn't want to be here. But Jonathan Lawson happened to need to work overtime, and she couldn't refuse the passionate Yaxley,

She discovered that Yoanna Tuckson was also there after arriving.

Yoanna saw Angela, and she immediately came to her. "You're here, Angela. Please come in and make yourself at home."

Yoanna had grown quite familiar with Angela because she had been meeting her frequently for the

past few days. She no longer harbored any hostility toward her after she had learned that Angela had a husband.

However, Angela greeted her and said, "You guys enjoy yourselves. I'll just sit here for a while, and then, I'll take my leave."

"Why would you do that? They are all friends of Turner Family. Let's get to know each other together." Yoanna pulled Angela along and handed her a glass of fruit juice. Angela only nodded.

There weren't that many around in the party. The guests were all either friends of Mobius since school days or his acquaintances. They were all decent and innocent folks. That was why Angela was happy to socialize with them.

Everyone was friendly toward Angela.

Just then, Mobius received a phone call. He looked cheekily at Yaxley. "Guess who's here, Yaxley?"

Yaxley looked at him in confusion, having no idea who it could be. "Who is it?"

"She's right outside. Why don't you go and bring her in?" Mobius asked as he handed his phone to Yaxley.

Yaxley held the phone, and he was greeted by a familiar voice from the other end of the phone.

That person was none other than Fanny.

Fanny sounded nervous when she heard Yaxley's voice, and she asked,

"Mr. Collier? Are you there? I seem to have lost my way, and I don't know how to get there..."

"Yeah, I'm here. I'll go to you and pick you up then." Yaxley took a glance at Mobius before heading out following that.
