Chapter 286 Stop Bothering Him Before Christopher answered the phone, he informed Sophia that it was Michael calling.
âNo, my dad heard that we were out together and told us to have a good time,â Christopher said with a smile.
Sophia teased, âYour dad didnât rush you, so why do you look so worried? Donât tell me you donât want to hear my friends sing?â
The KTV private room was quite crowded, filled with Sophiaâs friends and a few of their partners.
Upon seeing Christopherâs good behavior, Sophia decided to introduce him to her friends on a whim.
Since she and Christopher were already in a committed relationship, there was no harm in introducing him to her friends in advance.
However, a couple of her friends were not very skilled at singing, which was why she asked. that question.
âHow could that be?â Christopher replied with a smile, âActually, theyâre good and not too terrible.â
As they were chatting happily, one of Sophiaâs younger friends suddenly handed microphones to them and said, âLove songs, love songs. Since you havenât sung yet, do sing a .duet.â
Sophia didnât dampen her friendâs enthusiasm and directly took the microphone, then looked at Christopher.
Christopher also took another microphone.
While they sang together, Fanny hung up the phone and felt uneasy.
After waiting in the hospital for a while, she couldnât sit still.
She wanted to find Christopher but didnât know where he was, so she had to call him again.
Christopher had gone to the bathroom without bringing his phone, and one of Sophiaâs friends saw the phone light up and answered it casually.
1/4 Chapter 200 Dip âWhoâs this?â She gestured, and the music in the private room stopped.
At the same time, the voice of Fanny came through the earpiece.
âWho are you? Why are you answering Christopherâs phone?â
Fannyâs voice was too recognizable, and Sophia recognized it immediately, so she took the phone directly and asked, âWhy are you still bothering Christopher? Didnât I make it clear to you last time? Stop bothering him.â
âItâs you!â Fanny remembered who Sophia was. âWhy do you have Christopherâs phone?â
âDonât call him âChristopherâ repeatedly, itâs nauseating. Christopher is dating me now. If youâre sensible, donât come and disturb us. Otherwise, donât blame me for causing trouble for you.â
After saying that, she hung up the phone directly.
Upon hanging up the phone, Sophia paused for a moment, then decided to delete the call logs. She noticed that most of the recent calls were from Fanny to Christopher, so she promptly blocked Fannyâs number.
If this had happened before, when she and Christopher hadnât been together for long, she might have confronted him about it.
But given their current progress, they would soon be engaged, and she didnât see the need to make a big deal out of a woman who was unilaterally fixated on Christopher.
Feeling aggrieved after being hung up on, Fanny sat on the steps, lost in thought. As soon as she got up, a sack was suddenly pulled over her head. She wanted to scream for help, but her mouth and nose were covered.
The pungent odor hit her nose, and she fainted.
Within a day, George made numerous calls to Linda, but none went through. He then checked her flight and discovered that she hadnât boarded the plane at all.
His initial reaction was that he had been deceived. Fuming with anger, he searched for Linda again but to no avail, so he decided to call the police.
His reason for calling the police was nothing else but theft and assaulting someone.
2/4 The theft was because he accused Linda of stealing his bank card, while the assault was directly attributed to Linda causing Scarlet to go into a coma.
The police quickly launched an investigation and after reviewing airport surveillance. footage, they discovered that George was the one who had dropped Linda off at the airport.
As a result, George was also interrogated.
âShe threatened me into taking her to the airport, I had no choice. I know I was wrong now.â George couldnât believe the police had uncovered this, and he deeply regretted his actions.
If only I hadnât called the police!
The policeman who interrogated him took note of his words and asked, âCan you explain your relationship with Linda?â
âI, 1...â George dared not speak recklessly and could only stutter, âI havenât known her for long. She tried to seduce me for my money and even attempted to ruin my family. In the end, she even got physical with my wife.â
âIs that so? Our investigation reveals that sheâs your mistress, and youâve been supporting her financially.â The police directly exposed his true nature.
George argued, âI was deceived by her into being with her. I havenât broken any laws. Iâm also a victim. Why are you asking me this?â
âSince youâre saying Linda is the one who assaulted someone, please recall the situation from that day in detail.â
Upon hearing this, George began to make up his story and shift all the blame onto Linda.
By the time he finished speaking, he was already sweating profusely.
Even though he thought he hadnât said anything too incriminating, he couldnât help but about being found out.
worry âDo you remember any other details? Like which hand Linda used when she attacked?â
âHow would I know which hand!?â Georgeâs eyes darted around, his heart racing.
âJust try to think about it. Itâs okay if you remember incorrectly.â
âHer right hand, I was standing to her left, and she used her right hand to push my wife,â George recalled the scene from that day, mentally swapping his and Linda positions, then. repeated it.
3/4 After speaking, he still felt uneasy and asked in a low voice, âCan we withdraw the report. now? I can settle this privately with her, so you wonât be bothered.â
âNo.â The police officer closed the written record book, stood up and solemnly addressed George, âWe currently suspect that you are the one who resorted to violence. If the final result proves this, you will not only face charges of assault but also of making a false report.â
âWhat? It wasnât me! It was Linda! How could I possibly hit my wife?â George panicked, stood pursue this.â up and kept pleading. âPlease let me withdraw it. I wonât âYouâre free to go. Weâll do our best to locate Linda. If youâre innocent, we wonât falsely accuse you. Just wait for our updates.â
George was escorted out of the police station, but his tense nerves remained unrelaxed.
He deeply regretted making the report, but there was no turning back. Even if he withdrew the report, it was already too late.
Because the police suspected him, he had to find a way to clear his name.
But now, Linda was nowhere to be found, and he hated her more than ever.
Early the next morning, at Springgate Estates.
Angela woke up to see Jonathan sitting beside her. She rubbed her eyes and asked for the time.
âWhat time is it?â
âItâs 8:30 a.m.â
âHuh? Then why havenât you gone to the company yet, Jonathan?â Angela quickly sat up and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
âIâm actually taking the day off today to spend time with you.â
Feeling regretful from yesterday, Jonathan decided to leave Simon at the company today and strictly instructed him not to disturb him even if there were urgent matters.
