Chapter 404 Can We Talk?

Joseph felt a sense of unease as Scarlet abruptly grabbed him and spoke frantically.

He was originally anxious for a while when a rush of realization hit him. He recalled Christopher mentioning yesterday that Zacharias‘ match had been arranged, and Scarlet seemed to have agreed, too.

In the midst of his confusion and Scarlet’s urgency, he had completely forgotten it. What’s going on? Something seems off.

Scarlet continued to be restless, and her voice grew increasingly desperate. “Bring that wretched Angela here! If something happens to Zacharias, let her make amends with her life!”

Her voice had become raspy, and her eyes were bloodshot red.

“Mom!” Joseph shouted suddenly as if trying to snap her out of it.

He gripped her arms tightly and stared into her somewhat dazed eyes. “Mom, Christopher said you agreed to the match arrangement before. Don’t you remember?”

He wanted to confirm the truth of Christopher’s words.

The rush back here, on top of Scarlet’s incessant questioning, caused his thoughts to go in various directions. His mind went blank, and he somehow forgot Christopher’s words.

Scarlet remained bewildered as if stuck in a trance. “I don’t know!”

She shook her head incessantly, and her already disheveled hair resembled a mop.
