Chapter 293 Desperate To Return Home James observed Georgeâs everâchanging expression and stated bluntly, âSince you have no intention of urging the police, Iâll do that for you.â
âI donât need you to get involved!â George snapped. His agitation nearly tore his wound. He took a sharp breath.
If James intervened, he would surely uncover something from the police.
Even though George wasnât afraid of James, he didnât want to further complicate matters.
He was the one who pushed Scarlet, and he was the one who reported to the police. He didnât anticipate that, despite Lindaâs erratic behavior, he would still be under suspicion by the police.
If he had known that Linda was wandering the streets in a deranged state, he wouldnât have bothered reporting to the police to find her.
In essence, George was now consumed by hatred and regret.
When Joseph noticed that James was about to speak, he halted him. âJames, Dad is injured. Letâs discuss Momâs situation another day.â
James frowned, but complied.
George outwardly sneered, but inwardly felt relieved.
ç¶ Meanwhile, after leaving Zachariasâ residence, Angela didnât head straight home.
Josephâs words had indeed affected her. Despite appearing strong and composed, she felt uneasy inside.
Passing by a park bench, Angela noticed a pile of fallen leaves on the seat. Suddenly, a strange pang hit her nose.
She felt desperate to return home.
However, a voice suddenly called out from behind her. âAngela? Is that you?â
Angela turned around and met Britneyâs surprised gaze.
Seeing Angela, Britney approached with a warm and friendly smile, saying, âAngela, itâs been a while since I last saw you. You seem to have lost weight.â
1/5 Chapter 293 Desperate To Return Home-
Her familiar demeanor caused Angela to frown.
âDo you have something to say?â
It didnât seem like Britney had come specifically to see her, as she appeared genuinely her. surprised upon encountering âIâm looking for Fanny. I couldnât find her, but I coincidentally ran into you. Do you know where she is?â
Angela responded, Iâm not sure. Iâm not close to her, as youâre aware.â
Britney stomped her foot. âCan you contact her? I need to speak with her.â
She was detained for a few days for the previous incident.
The first thing she did upon her release was confront Fanny. After all, it was really an accident that she stabbed Fanny at the time, so the wound wasnât actually severe.
Also, Fanny was her daughter. She could have chosen to forgive. Yet she disregarded their relationship and had the police detain her for several days.
If someone hadnât bailed her out, she might still be in custody.
âI know youâre not close with her. I just thought Iâd ask.â Britney didnât want to provoke Angela She had heard that Angela now held some influence, unlike before, so she sought to flatter her.
Angela grew irritated by Britneyâs gaze. âI suggest you ask the Kins Family.â
Recently, Fanny hadnât caused her any trouble, and she had almost forgotten about this bothersome individual. Yet Britney kept bringing Fanny up in front of her.
âThe Kins Family?â Britney hesitated upon hearing Angelaâs suggestion.
The Kins Family cared for Fanny and would undoubtedly know her whereabouts. However, Britney sought to settle a score with Fanny, so she couldnât let the Kins Family find out.
âYes, they can certainly help you contact her.â
After saying this, Angela was about to depart, but Britney suddenly tugged at her.
âIs there something else?â
2/5 Chapter 293 Desperate To Return Home âWell, Angela, I was just released, and I donât have any money on me. Do you have any spare cash that you could lend me?â
She asked in a friendly tone, but Angela knew that she probably wouldnât return.
Angela frowned. âWhat about the money I gave you last time?â
One week after Mikeâs funeral, she had given Britney some money. It had only been a few days, and now Britney was reaching out for more.
âItâs at home. Iâm going to find the Kins Family now. I need to have some cash with me, right?â
As Britney spoke, she kept eyeing Angelaâs bag.
Frowning, Angela took out a few bills and handed them to her. âThis is all I have. Donât come looking for me again in the future.â
She didnât like Britney, but compared to Scarlet, Britney didnât seem as annoying.
Perhaps because she wasnât Britneyâs biological daughter, her expectations of Britney were already low.
And although Britney could be sharpâtongued, she didnât seem to have much malice most of the time.
After giving Britney some money, Angela walked away.
âBritney happily clutched the few bills in her hand. Watching Angelaâs figure, she said, âBye, Angela. Be careful on your way.â
After receiving the money, she didnât dare go directly to the Kins Family. Instead, she first relaxed at a spa center..
She had always been a big spender, and the money in her hand couldnât stay for long.
It wasnât until she had a good time that Britney continued to call Fanny.
It seemed like Fanny had blocked her. Britney tried many times but couldnât get through.
âThis ungrateful daughter!â Britney cursed and hung up the phone in anger, leaving the spa.
center.
She didnât want to go back to Lynchâs village. After all, the incident had caused quite a stir and spread in the village.
3/5 Chapter 293 Desperate To Return Homeâ
Now, going back, she felt embarrassed.
She decided to wait for a while before going back. After some thought, she headed toward the Kins Residence.
However, Britney didnât expect that there was no one at home. She pressed the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered.
There was no sound inside the gate, and it looked particularly deserted.
âCould they be deliberately avoiding me?â Britney observed the scene inside the gate, trying to find someone.
Someone passed by and saw her ringing the doorbell. âAre you looking for the Kinses? They have all gone out.â
The neighbor drove away without waiting for Britney to ask further questions.
Watching the car drive away and smelling the gasoline, Britney felt tired and decided to sit on the ground next to the gate.
They have gone out, right? Then Iâll wait by the gate for them to come back and ask about Fannyâs whereabouts.
She was too embarrassed to go back to Lynchâs village now. Fanny was her daughter, so it couldnât be wrong to look for her.
She waited for hours, and still no one came back. She felt a bit anxious and annoyed.
1 Gritting her teeth, Britney decided to continue waiting. Theyâll eventually come back!
At this moment, Fanny and the Kinses had no idea that someone was waiting for them at the door. Fanny was detained, while James and Joseph had gone to the hospital because of Georgeâs injury.
Zacharias was staying near the hospital to make it easier for Angela to treat his illness.
On the other hand, in a highâend shopping mall, Christopher stared at his phone for a long time, not understanding why Fanny suddenly ignored him.
âChristopher, do you think this looks good?â Sophia asked Christopher as she came out of the fitting room in a new outfit.
âItâs good,â Christopher commented after a casual glance.
4/5 Sophia noticed that he was not in a good mood. Seeing him frequently look at his phone, she frowned and asked, âChristopher, do you have something on your mind?â
