Chapter 477 Think of A Way
“We will,” James reassured Scarlet while offering her comfort.
Despite James‘ assurance, Scarlet continued to cling to him tightly.
“Don’t worry too much, Mom. Angela can’t keep me locked up for long,” Joseph intervened, noticing she was finally calming down and quickly comforted her.
Scarlet turned to see Joseph’s gaunt face, and her expression became dazed, showing a look of heartache.
“Joseph, you’ve suffered.”
She blamed herself for birthing Angela, the cause of her precious sons‘ torment, and the near dissolution of their family.
Joseph quickly shook his head. Seeing Scarlet’s brows still furrowed, he felt worried and continued, “Mom, stop worrying needlessly. We will deal with Angela. She won’t get off easily.”
Scarlet felt somewhat reassured by these words, her emotions stabilizing considerably.
“Joseph is right,” James spoke while guiding Scarlet out, “Mom, let’s get you some rest.”
Concerned for her well–being, James didn’t want Scarlet to continue overhearing their conversation.
Joseph also added, “Mom, you should rest outside for a while.”
This time, Scarlet did not resist.
Her emotions had fluctuated greatly just moments ago, and she hadn’t 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.
“James, don’t bring Mom next time. She’s getting old and can’t handle much stress,” Joseph remarked, knowing his disheveled appearance was the reason Scarlet became overly emotional.
He expressed his concern both for her well–being and to spare her from seeing his deteriorated state.

James nodded in agreement.
“If we really can’t find out who’s exerting the pressure, let’s not bother anymore. I’ll be released when the time comes,” Joseph, sensing his brother’s 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 hadn’t mentioned the bail to her.
He also didn’t want her to know about the possibility of his release, fearing she might be deliberately troubled by Angela’s people.
However, Scarlet, unaware of the bail, had directly summoned James to the city.
Once in the city, Joseph didn’t object to the bail process. But then they realized he couldn’t 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, “Then let’s assume Angela is responsible.”
Regardless, for the sake of easing their mother’s distress, they decided to make Angela pay for Joseph’s suffering, adding another reason to blame her.
“Well, James, we’ll talk when I get out,” sighed Joseph, resigned to his fate.
James nodded, then suddenly mentioned, “Fanny might be getting married soon.”
“What?” Joseph was startled.
“Is Fanny getting married already? To whom?”
His confusion was evident, and without waiting for his question, James answered, “To Christopher, and it seems they plan to hold the wedding in Riverdon. We might all need to go back there soon.”
Joseph, alarmed, asked, “When are we going back? Can I make it in time?”
He pondered the urgency of the wedding. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Starting to plan a wedding now would usually mean the actual ceremony wouldn’t take place for at least a month, considering the preparations involved.

Moreover, if the wedding was in Riverdon, he could use the opportunity to return and avoid coming back to Northland, where he had faced nothing but troubles.
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, “Within three days.”
“What do you mean within three days?” Joseph asked, and then it hit him, “Getting married in three days?”
Seeing James nod, he immediately inquired, “Was it that b*stard, Christopher’s idea?”
His frown deepened as he mentioned Christopher dismissively.
James, noticing the anger in Joseph’s eyes, explained, “It seems so, and Fanny is quite supportive. She wants to go back to Riverdon and marry Christopher as soon as possible.”
After learning that Christopher had once eyed his younger brother’s kidney, James‘ view of him soured.
However, having missed Christopher, who had already returned to Riverdon, his resentment wasn’t as intense as Joseph’s or Scarlet’s.
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 James‘ irritation.
Despite his feelings, James acknowledged the alliance with the Sanders Family was beneficial for the Kins Family.
He wasn’t sure why the Sanders Family was in a hurry, but it was clearly advantageous for the Kins Family to proceed with the wedding sooner.
“Will I miss Fanny’s wedding then?” 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, “I’ll think of a way.”
He was determined to find a way to release Joseph in time, considering risking a more daring approach.
He recalled encountering Florence at Jonathan’s company, who had also been trailing his car.
