Chapter 361 She Is Stubborn

“No one wants to chat with you in private. So, you have the nerve to be a homewrecker, yet you handle people discussing the truth?”

can’t

When Sophia uttered these words, Fanny froze in place, and the others turned their gaze toward her.

Angela had anticipated that the encounter between Fanny and Sophia would be somewhat intense, but she was taken aback by the explosiveness of the situation.

Sophia remained as impulsive and candid as ever. Without holding back, she directly brought up Fanny‘ personal matters.

Angela anticipated some sort of response from Fanny, but was taken aback when hid behind Yaxley.

“Yaxley, I’m not a homewrecker. Miss Martinez misunderstood me, Fanny gently explained, tugging at Yaxley’s sleeve.

Sophia, exasperated by Fanny’s behavior, attempted to pull her away. “Stop playing the victim! Yaxley, Fanny is skilled at deception; don’t be fooled by her!”

However, Yaxley raised his hand to halt Sophia. “Let’s not resort to force. I want an explanation.”

Upon hearing Yaxley’s words, Fanny, who was being shielded by him, grew visibly paler.

No, I can’t let Sophia expose my doing in Riverdon!

If Yaxley were to discover the connection between Fanny and Christopher, and Fanny pretended ignorance in front of him, Yaxley would undoubtedly develop a bias against her.

However, after hearing Sophia’s angry scolding. Yaxley would probably have already grown displeased with Fanny.

No man would tolerate his woman having a blemish. Even Yaxley, the noble son who appeared indifferent to worldly matters, would not tolerate any stain on his partner!

Fanny bit her lip. pondering how to resolve the impasse..

Ava observed Yaxley blocking Sophia and swiftly positioned herself beside Sophia, saying, “Yaxley, be gentle!

Although Ava was unaware of Sophia’s heartbreak situation in Riverdon, Sophia’s words implied that Fanny had truly brought disgrace upon herself.

Ava firmly believed that their long–standing friendship with Sophia should not be doubted.

However. Yaxley actually protected Fanny. It became evident to Ava that Fanny was not as simple and innocent as she appeared.

Tyra intervened. “Let’s talk about this later. Why don’t we all sit down first and discuss this calmly? She guided Sophia to the sofa, feeling displeased by Fanny’s presence. The fact that someone could see

through Fanny in front of Yaxley delighted her.

“Yaxley, I’m not feeling well. Can you take me home?” Fanny deviated from the expected script, appealing- to Yaxley with a pitiful look.

Yaxley furrowed his brow, scanning the others.

Despite

his limited emotional intelligence, he grasped the basic dynamics of the situation.

Upon hearing Fanny’s plea, Sophia chuckled, “Are you afraid? Do you wish to leave?”

Observing the closeness between Yaxley and Fanny, she deduced that Fanny had likely ensnared Yaxley, although she was unsure of the method. In that moment, she sought to release all her frustration toward Fanny and Christopher solely onto Fanny.

Fanny disregarded Sophia’s remarks, gazing innocently at her and stating, “Miss Martinez, I truly feel unwell, it’s not as you assume. And what you said, it’s not my fault.”

After regaining composure. Fanny’s thoughts became much clearer than before.

She suddenly realized that she didn’t have to fear Sophia revealing what had happened in Riverdon.

In that incident, she could also be considered a victim!

If she went back and pleaded with Christopher, asking him to admit that he was two–timing, everything would be okay.

With a clear mind, Fanny was no longer as panicked as before.

Sophia looked at Fanny coldly. “You’ve already made headlines as a homewrecker, and now you want to clear your name?”

Originally, she hadn’t agreed with her father handling this matter publicly. But now, seeing Fanny’s smug face, she wished the news had reached Northland!

The Collier Family had no idea that Fanny was the one who had ruined her relationship. To make matters worse, Fanny had become Yaxley’s girlfriend.

After being scolded by Sophia, Fanny felt the time was right. Tears streamed down her face as she cried. “I’m sorry, but I really wasn’t the homewrecker. It was Christopher who was two–timing, I’m innocent.”

Her tears caused a commotion in the room.

Others remained silent, merely watching her cry.

As she sobbed, she suddenly turned to Angela beside her, saying amidst tears, “Angela, you know the truth. After Christopher broke off the engagement with you, he got engaged to me, and he was with me first…” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Angela was taken aback, her gaze locking with Fanny’s.

Although Fanny’s words had plenty of loopholes, she had not lied.

Yet, as soon as she spoke, the situation instantly spiraled into chaos, and Angela found herself implicated

as well.

Sophia looked at Angela, her eyes reflecting shock and helplessness, as she pleaded, “Miss Angela, is what she said true?”

Comparatively, her concern lingered more on whether Christopher had been with her first and whether Fanny was fully aware of their relationship.

Angela rubbed her temples.

She didn’t want to be dragged into this mess, but since Fanny had brought it up, she wouldn’t hold back. “What she said is partly true.” Angela spoke slowly, her gaze fixed on Fanny, word by word.

She continued. “Do you think I have a forgiving nature because I’m not not speaking? You’re mistaken. When you believed Christopher was a catch, you flirted with him while he was still my fiancé. I chose not to make an issue out of it because I didn’t have romantic feelings for him. However, after Christopher ended our engagement and started seeing Sophia, you were aware of it. What did you do then? You – continued pursuing Christopher!”

After getting it all off her chest, Angela felt a sense of relief, while Fanny’s complexion turned pale.

“Yaxley, what she said is not true,” Fanny spoke softly.

Yaxley did not respond to Fanny’s words. Suddenly, he said, “I will have someone take you back.”

Fanny was stunned, her reaction delayed as if she hadn’t processed the situation. “Yaxley! Yaxley, don’t believe her! I didn’t do any of those things!”

Sophia and Ava were also caught off guard, not expecting Yaxley to dismiss someone so abruptly. They couldn’t discern whether he cared or not.

It was Angela who speculated that Yaxley might have found the situation too chaotic, hence his decision to remove Fanny from the scene first. Perhaps he was irritated by Fanny’s tears.

Furthermore, it remained unclear what appeal Fanny had over Yaxley, as he didn’t even question her at

that moment.

Observing the lively scene, Tyra addressed Yaxley, “Yaxley, escort her to the car and return promptly. Your

leave. father mentioned he won’t be joining us for dinner tonight, so don’t you

Yaxley didn’t acknowledge Tyra’s remark but gestured to the butler to arrange transportation. He then took Fanny’s hand and led her outside.

Fanny hesitated for a moment, following behind Yaxley, and asked, “Yaxley, could you personally send me back? I’m feeling uneasy.”

Her fear didn’t stem from going home alone but from the possibility of Yaxley hearing Sophia’s words again and believing them.

Yaxley proceeded without hesitation, guiding Fanny to the awaiting car. He helped her into the back seat, provided the driver with the address, and finally locked gazes with Fanny. “I’ll come to see you tomorrow, he assured her.
