Chapter 338: Chapter Capítulo 339

Chapter 339 Don’t Scare My Wife Upon learning of Fanny’s success, Dylan was filled with joy and eager to head straight to their room. However, he managed to compose himself just in time.

When Fanny inquired about Angela, he found himself at a loss for words.

Just as he was about to speak, Fanny whispered, “I need to go out. We’ll talk later.”

In the hotel room’s bathroom, Fanny ended the call. She swiftly changed her clothes and took a deep breath at the door before going out.

“You...” Yaxley seemed bewildered despite their both being dressed neatly now.

Fanny teared up, gazing timidly at Yaxley as she said, “I’m going home. You should leave too. About last night...”

Before she could finish, Yaxley cut her off and abruptly asked, “Do you want to be in a relationship with me? One that leads to engagement.”

Fanny was caught off guard by Yaxley’s direct mention of engagement and immediate plans.

“If you’re not interested, I can offer you other forms of compensation...” Yaxley said helplessly as he rubbed his temples.

He had inspected the room while Fanny was preparing, realizing that the room belonged to her, and he was the intruder.

He hadn’t consumed much alcohol the previous night, but his memory seemed fragmented. He recalled leaving the hotel with Ava and returning to the banquet hall, but nothing beyond. that.

He could delve into the events of the previous night later, However, the present situation demanded his attention.

Fanny bit her lip and asked, “Is it... acceptable?”

Fearing a hasty response from Yaxley, she couldn’t help but inquire, “Regarding the engagement, do your family approve?”

Though Fanny spoke softly, Yaxley heard her clearly.

He furrowed his brow. Then, he pondered for a moment before replying, “It’s fine. You needn’t worry about them.”

1/4 Chapter 39 Don’t Fanny felt a sense of relief and nodded slightly as she softly responded, “Alright then.”

“Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Yaxley Collier,” Yaxley suddenly started to introduce himself.

Fanny replied, “I’m Fanny Kins.”

Upon hearing her name, Yaxley felt a sense of familiarity but refrained from asking, simply nodding and inquiring. “Shall I escort you home?”

The atmosphere between them was awkward, yet Fanny felt a sense of ease after nodding.

Despite Yaxley’s high status and affluent background, she couldn’t bring herself to develop feelings for him. Fortunately, Yaxley didn’t seem to harbor any dislike toward her either.

As long as she remained by Yaxley’s side, she could carve out a place for herself in Northland.

With divergent thoughts in their minds, the two calmly exited the hotel.

Meanwhile, Angela and Jonathan had just finished breakfast when an unexpected visitor arrived.

Yarrison smiled at Angela and inquired, “Jon, is this your wife, Angela? Hello, Angela.”

The man beside Yarrison also addressed Angela as “Angela.”

Angela was taken aback. It was the first time she had been referred to as such by Jonathan’s friend. She felt slightly uneasy.

Moreover, their scrutinizing gazes were a bit too conspicuous.

“Don’t startle her,” Jonathan interjected, standing between them and issuing a stern warning.

“Huh? We don’t look frightening, so why would we scare her? Jon, please step aside and let me introduce myself to your wife,”

Yarrison insisted with a friendly demeanor.

Angela tugged at Jonathan’s sleeve from behind and nodded at him.

“Hello, I’m Angela...” She leaned forward to introduce herself.

Yarrison promptly added, “Hello, Angela. I’m Yarrison Holland, and this is Spencer Lorenzo. We are Jon’s friends...”

He introduced the man beside him as well. Spencer simply smiled and nodded, greeting Angela, “Hello, Angela.”

2/4 “Hello, everyone,” Angela responded with surprise, stealing a glance at Jonathan.

Jonathan suggested, “Let’s come inside.”

Upon entering the room, Yarrison’s gaze wandered curiously. “You never gave me the chance. to see this house during the decorating process. Now that I’m finally taking it in, it has a distinct style that differs from those in Northland.”

Jonathan held Angela’s hand and casually replied to Yarrison, “Indeed, it is different.”

The house bore a striking resemblance to Springgate Estates, adorned entirely in the distinctive style of Riverdon, which was naturally different from that of Northland.

Once they were all seated. Angela mentioned that she would go to the kitchen to prepare drinks and went straight in.

Recognizing that Jonathan’s friends had likely sought him out for an important discussion, she decided not to linger and kept from being there any longer.

Yarrison waited until Angela left before bringing up the events of the previous night.

“I have asked them, but they remained tight–lipped. They adamantly denied acting on anyone’s orders. According to them, they noticed the guest sleeping on the couch and were concerned about the guest catching a cold. So, they took the guest to the banquet–prepared. guest room,” Yarrison reported, rolling his eyes in disbelief.

Although he had extracted this information during the interrogation, he didn’t believe a word of it.

Under normal circumstances, they would have checked before taking the guest to the room. What he saw on the surveillance footage was not how it happened.

When those two took Angela to the room, they were extremely cautious, as if they were afraid of waking her up, sneaking around the whole time.

Jonathan expressed his gratitude, “Well, thanks to you for last night.”

Had Yarrison not promptly accessed the surveillance and provided him with the room. number, he shuddered to think of the potential consequences from the previous night.

“By the way, is Angela alright? I reviewed the surveillance footage, and she unexpectedly passed out, which is quite concerning,”

Yarrison inquired.

Jonathan shook his head. “Angela is fine. The doctor didn’t find anything wrong with her.”

3/4 Worried about Angela’s health, Jonathan had the doctor check her multiple times last night, even drawing blood for tests.

However, they would have to wait a few more days for the results.

Yarrison sighed and said, “In that case, I’m afraid we won’t find out anything. You should be more careful with Angela from now on.”

“I will.” Jonathan nodded.

The events of last night had left him shaken. He had warned himself and instructed Oliver.

They would not give anyone a chance to take advantage of them again.

Seated beside Yarrison, Spencer observed the room with the same keen interest. Despite being an attentive listener to their conversation, he remained silent throughout.

After discussing the events of last night, Jonathan looked at Spencer and asked, “Aren’t you busy lately? Why did you come with him?”

“I’m not busy,” Spencer replied, lacking enthusiasm and sounding somewhat resigned.

Yarrison added, “He’s not busy at all lately. He’s rather idle now. We even had a drinking session last night, but unfortunately, we didn’t know you were in Northland.”

Jonathan raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, “Did something happen?”

“My dad kicked me out, and the company doesn’t need my help either.” Spencer shrugged helplessly.

The circumstances surrounding Spencer’s family were somewhat intricate, and Jonathan had heard about it before. However, he hadn’t anticipated that things would escalate to such an extent.

Spencer is currently being expelled from the Lorenzo Family. What could have happened to lead to such a significant problem?

Seeing Jonathan’s concern, Spencer sighed and began to slowly explain.

Having already been briefed on Spencer’s situation, Yarrison listened for a couple of sentences before growing bored and making his way to the kitchen to lend a hand.
