While speaking, Fanny suddenly bowed her head, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
However, she didnât want Christopher to witness her vulnerability, so she purposely turned away. âIâm sorry, Christopher. I need to use the restroom.â
As she moved to leave the bed, Christopher reached out and stopped her. âFanny, I apologize. Itâs my fault. Iâve been extremely busy lately. The company landed a major project, and I need to excel for our future.â
Fanny nestled into Christopherâs embrace. âI understand.â
Christopher felt powerless.
It wasnât that he didnât want to visit or that he ignored Fannyâs messages and calls.
Rumors had circulated that Fanny had hired someone to harm her father, and when Teresa found out, she strictly prohibited him from seeing her. Initially, he had planned to visit and clarify things regardless.

Fanny paled.
The reason she hadnât been arrested was simply due to a lack of evidence at the moment.
However, the investigation would undoubtedly continue.
Despite her meticulous planning, what if something went awry?
Therefore, she and the Kins Family had agreed to keep the matter discreet. With the police inundated with cases daily, this wasnât a top priority. As time passed and evidence grew scarce, the issue would fade away.
Yet, with the rumors circulating and heightened scrutiny, the police might allocate more resources to the case.
Fanny sighed. âGossip has a way of inciting emotions. Remember the actress who portrayed a villain in a popular TV series?
She was so convincing that she was pelted with eggs at the market.â
Reflecting on this, Fanny felt a sense of unease. âIf this continues to spread, some individuals unaware of the truth may believe the accusations. Look at Bri... Look at her. Didnât she harm me?â
Though unnamed, Christopher grasped Fannyâs implication.
After a moment of contemplation, he inquired, âFanny, how did this situation escalate? Do you know who is maligning you behind your back?â
A glint of coldness flickered in Fannyâs eyes, yet her expression betrayed a hint of resignation. âItâs Linda. Since her familyâs bankruptcy, sheâs been acting irrationally, and things have spiraled out of control. I donât understand why.â
âDoes she hold a grudge against you?â

Christopher agreed. âHer actions are indeed puzzling.â
age gap is Fanny quickly added, âSo, I doubt she actually filed a formal report. She probably just said that to intimidate me. But I have nothing to hide, so why should I be afraid?â
âI think she made an anonymous report,â Fanny continued, feeling more confident as she spoke. âEven if itâs anonymous, the police would have to investigate if it involves a murder case. Itâs standard procedure.â
She knew Christopher well. Once he believed something, he wouldnât bother to verify it. And even if he did inquire at the police station, they wouldnât disclose anything to him.
Only a few highâranking officers at the police station would be aware of a formal report.
Christopher nodded in agreement with Fanny, finding her reasoning logical.
He changed the topic and asked, âSo, she did all this out of jealousy towards you?â
It was truly bizarre.
Fanny also found it hard to believe such a flimsy motive. She added, âLately, she seems to be getting closer to Angela. Angela has always held a grudge against me and even expressed a desire for me to lose everything I have.â
As Christopher listened, his expression grew colder. âSo, they conspired together to frame you using a deceased person?â

Iâm not sure how to make them stop targeting me.â
Christopher felt even more sympathetic towards Fanny. âDonât worry, youâre doing great. Itâs their malicious intentions that are at fault, capable of such despicable acts.â
Fanny bit her lip and looked at Christopher with a pleading expression. âChristopher, I have no other option now. I can only seek your help. I swear I did not harm my father. If I did, then let me suffer for the rest of my life.â
She mentioned her father deliberately, but it was merely a vague promise she made to herself.
Despite her belief in science, she couldnât shake off the feeling of something ominous looming over her.
