Serve No One This Life

Chapter 351 Unexpected Rapid Progress

Fanny asked with joy and a hint of shyness. “Yeah. So you didn’t know?”

When Yaxley inquired, Fanny immediately sensed that Angela had not mentioned her to him. This realization relieved her and strengthened her resolve to separate Angela from Yaxley.

Although Angela had refrained from speaking up before, slip–ups were bound to happen eventually.

She couldn’t allow Angela to stay by Yaxley’s side, nor could she stand by and watch Angela lead a peaceful life.

“No, I had no idea about it, but I will find out soon enough. Yaxley furrowed his brows, sensing that he had overlooked something,

Observing Yaxley’s expression, Fanny felt a sense of foreboding creeping over her.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that Yaxley’s reactions were off. Moreover, his statement about knowing soon only added to her unease.

Just as Fanny was growing anxious, Yaxley suddenly inquired, “Angela said you’re leaving the Kins Family?”

He wanted to hear Fanny’s account before delving into further investigation.

Subconsciously, he hesitated to pry too much into others‘ affairs. Apart from the few questions he had asked Angela earlier that morning, he refrained from probing further.

However, a faint sense of discord between Angela and Fanny downstairs had caught his attention, prompting him to seek answers from Fanny first.

Fanny gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Yaxley and said, “The truth is, I was mistakenly brought to the Kins Family, which is why I wanted to leave.”

Her words hinted at her discontent within both the Kins Family and the Stuart Family, insinuating that Angela had mistreated her. It also served as a cautionary message to Yaxley.

Listening intently, Yaxley furrowed his brows, lost in contemplation.

Meanwhile, Angela ended her call with Yoanna downstairs, and shortly after, Mobius escorted Yoanna back.

Yoanna attempted to send Mobius away, but others gathered around, expressing their concern for her.

Some girls who understood her situation offered words of comfort, while the boys present remained perplexed, unable to grasp why Yoanna had suddenly left.

Among the confused was Mobius.

He believed that Yoanna had misunderstood Angela and had been trying to persuade her otherwise.

After dismissing those who had come to check on her, Yoanna approached Angela, ensuring they were alone, and asked, “About what you said on the phone. Is it true?”

Angela affirmed, “Yes.”

Fanny had offended her, prompting Angela to seek retribution.

Moreover, as Yaxley’s junior, Angela felt that Fanny was not a suitable match for him. She didn’t intend to cause trouble but believed that Yaxley deserved to know the truth.

Yoanna grabbed Angela and questioned, “What should we do? She’s going to get engaged to Yaxley!”

The mere thought of Fanny, an unexpected presence, filled her with anxiety.

Adding to her distress was Yaxley’s stance. He had acknowledged Fanny as his prospective fiancée, indicating his acceptance of her.

“What are you worried about? They haven’t gotten engaged yet,” Angela comforted her friend. “Fanny has quite a reputation in Riverdon. Just buy a few old issues of the Riverdon Daily, and you’ll see.”

She didn’t have a direct plan to talk to Yaxley. She simply intended to show them Fanny’s past experiences as reported in the newspapers, and how they judged it would be up to them.

After hearing this, Yoanna looked at Angela and said, “Newspaper? Alright. I’ll have someone buy them.”

Information wasn’t as readily available back then, so things like

newspapers had to be bought in person. But the Tuckson Family was not short of money. She could easily contact a few reporters in Riverdon and buy a few copies. As long as she went home and asked for her father’s help, it would work.

“What does the newspaper say?” Yoanna couldn’t contain her curiosity.

Angela shook her head. “I’m not sure of the specifics, but it’s definitely exposing Fanny. She came to Northland because of this incident.”

While she and Yaxley came to Northland for training, Fanny and Christopher differed: they had come to Northland to lay low.

The Martinez Family had made their affairs public in the newspapers so that they would be talked about in Riverdon for a while. Both the Sanders

Family and the Kins Family were influential, and they had sent people to Northland just to avoid the gossip.

She heard all these things from Cassie.

Without getting any specific information from Angela, Yoanna stopped asking and looked around. “Where is Yaxley?”

As soon as she ran out just now, the person she most hoped to chase after wasn’t anyone else but Yaxley.

Not only did she not see Yaxley follow her out, but she also didn’t see him when she came back.

Looking around again, she didn’t see Fanny either, and alarm bells rang in her heart.

Both of them are missing. Where did they go?

Angela pointed to the spiral staircase of the villa, saying, “They went upstairs.”

Yoanna immediately wanted to go upstairs, but she had only taken a few steps when Fanny followed Yaxley down.

Seeing the two of them coming down, Yoanna breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why did it take so long to go upstairs? What were you talking about?” Mobius ran up to them and joked, then sighed. “I didn’t expect you two to progress so quickly. You two are getting engaged!”

“Yes. It did happen quickly.” Yaxley remained calm, while Fanny looked shy.

“What happened to Yoanna just now?” Yaxley saw Yoanna coming back, but her eyes were a bit red.

Yoanna shook her head, biting her back teeth, and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just a misunderstanding. Angela and I have cleared it up.”

Yaxley nodded, about to say something, when his phone suddenly rang. Then he went to a corner to answer the phone.

Fanny was left behind, but she was not afraid. Instead, she walked a few steps towards Angela.

In front of everyone else, she spoke up, “Angela, I want to prepare a gift for Yaxley. Since you spend a lot of time with him, you must know what he likes. Can you please tell me more about what he likes?”

Angela remained silent, just watching Fanny playing her part. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Fanny was not embarrassed at all, and both of them continued their conversation.

Angela had no intention of staying here with Fanny, but since this was Mobius’s arrangement, she saw no need to dampen the mood by retorting. It was best to just leave.

After all, Fanny had already made a big deal out of something trivial earlier, and Angela was not in the mood to deal with her again.

Coincidentally, Jonathan had just messaged her, asking if she needed him to come in and pick her up.

She quickly composed a message, asking him to wait outside for her for a

minute.

Seeing Angela busy with her phone, Fanny clenched her teeth in frustration but decided not to say anything.

While waiting for Angela to finish her phone call, Fanny felt a surge of anger. However, her attention was soon drawn to Yoanna, whose gaze met

hers.
