Chapter 477 Think of A Way âWe will,â James reassured Scarlet while offering her comfort.
Despite Jamesâ assurance, Scarlet continued to cling to him tightly.
+5 Free Coins âDonât worry too much, Mom. Angela canât keep me locked up for long,â Joseph intervened, noticing she was finally calming down and quickly comforted her.
Scarlet turned to see Josephâs gaunt face, and her expression became dazed, showing a look of heartache.
âJoseph, youâve suffered.â
She blamed herself for birthing Angela, the cause of her precious sonsâ torment, and the near dissolution of their family.
Joseph quickly shook his head. Seeing Scarletâs brows still furrowed, he felt worried and continued, âMom, stop worrying needlessly. We will deal with Angela. She wonât get off easily.â
Scarlet felt somewhat reassured by these words, her emotions stabilizing considerably.
âJoseph is right,â James spoke while guiding Scarlet out, âMom, letâs get you some rest.â
Concerned for her wellâbeing, James didnât want Scarlet to continue overhearing their conversation.
Joseph also added, âMom, you should rest outside for a while.â
This time, Scarlet did not resist.
Her emotions had fluctuated greatly just moments ago, and she hadnât fully recovered yet. Lacking the strength to remain standing, she had no choice but to leave.
Shortly after escorting Scarlet out, James returned.
The brothers exchanged weary and helpless glances.
âJames, donât bring Mom next time. Sheâs getting old and canât handle much stress,â Joseph remarked, knowing his disheveled appearance was the reason Scarlet became overly emotional.
He expressed his concern both for her wellâbeing and to spare her from seeing his deteriorated state.
III O 1/3 10:36 Mon, 22 Apr M Chapter 477 Think of A Way James nodded in agreement.
+5 Free Coins âIf we really canât find out whoâs exerting the pressure, letâs not bother anymore. Iâll be released when the time comes,â Joseph, sensing his brotherâs continued worry about the bail, casually reassured him.
He had gradually come to accept his situation since being detained.
Initially indifferent and not wanting to burden Scarlet with the efforts of securing his release, he hadnât mentioned the bail to her.
He also didnât want her to know about the possibility of his release, fearing she might be deliberately troubled by Angelaâs people.
However, Scarlet, unaware of the bail, had directly summoned James to the city.
Once in the city, Joseph didnât object to the bail process. But then they realized he couldnât be released, and even the reason remained elusive.
With no clue who was behind it, and Angela denying involvement, James was at a dead end.
Joseph listed every potential enemy he could think of, but none seemed likely to be behind his predicament.
James concluded, âThen letâs assume Angela is responsible.â
Regardless, for the sake of easing their motherâs distress, they decided to make Angela pay for Josephâs suffering, adding another reason to blame her.
âWell, James, weâll talk when I get out,â sighed Joseph, resigned to his fate.
James nodded, then suddenly mentioned, âFanny might be getting married soon.â
âWhat?â Joseph was startled.
âIs Fanny getting married already? To whom?â
His confusion was evident, and without waiting for his question, James answered, âTo Christopher, and it seems they plan to hold the wedding in Riverdon. We might all need to go back there soon.â
Joseph, alarmed, asked, âWhen are we going back? Can I make it in time?â
He pondered the urgency of the wedding.
Starting to plan a wedding now would usually mean the actual ceremony wouldnât take place for at least a month, considering the preparations involved.

After spending an arduous time in Northland, Joseph longed to return to Riverdon, where life had beca smoother, and he had been a respected doctor. The desire to return grew intensely in him.
Lost in his thoughts, Joseph was abruptly brought back to reality when James mentioned, âWithin three days.â
âWhat do you mean within three days?â Joseph asked, and then it hit him, âGetting married in three days?â
Seeing James nod, he immediately inquired, âWas it that b*stard, Christopherâs idea?â
His frown deepened as he mentioned Christopher dismissively.
James, noticing the anger in Josephâs eyes, explained, âIt seems so, and Fanny is quite supportive. She wants to go back to Riverdon and marry Christopher as soon as possible.â
After learning that Christopher had once eyed his younger brotherâs kidney, Jamesâ view of him soured.
However, having missed Christopher, who had already returned to Riverdon, his resentment wasnât as intense as Josephâs or Scarletâs.
Still, he was displeased when Fanny mentioned rushing back for the wedding, especially since George, who rarely involved himself in family matters, suddenly took an interest in the wedding, adding to Jamesâ irritation.
Despite his feelings, James acknowledged the alliance with the Sanders Family was beneficial for the Kins Family.
He wasnât sure why the Sanders Family was in a hurry, but it was clearly advantageous for the Kins Family to proceed with the wedding sooner.
âWill I miss Fannyâs wedding then?â Joseph suddenly asked, realizing the urgency.
If the wedding was indeed in three days, he would still be in custody and unable to attend.
James assured, âIâll think of a way.â
He was determined to find a way to release Joseph in time, considering risking a more daring approach.
He recalled encountering Florence at Jonathanâs company, who had also been trailing his car.
