Chapter 452 I Don’t Have A Brother

James raised an eyebrow. “So, Angela has been holding a grudge against Fanny all this time?”

As memories of past clashes between Fanny and Angela resurfaced, he couldn’t help but acknowledge the possibility. Still, he hesitated to believe Angela was the mastermind behind it all.

Scarlet nodded gravely upon realizing that James, residing far away in Riverdon, might have not been fully informed about Angela’s previous misdeeds that led to conflicts between Fanny and Yaxley. Hence, she wasted no time in bringing it to his attention.

With a furrowed brow, James acknowledged her words. “Mom, I’m aware of that. Joseph filled me in.”

The mention of Joseph prompted him to ponder, I wonder what insights Joseph might have offered if I were present.

The thought of Joseph still being detained weighed heavily on his mind as he sighed and turned to her. “Mom, have you considered the possibility that Fanny might have offended someone else?”

Scarlet swiftly defended Fanny’s character, stating, “Fanny is so well–behaved and sensible. It’s hard to imagine her offending anyone. Only someone like Angela would target her without reason.

Observing James‘ somber expression and lack of response, she continued her criticism of Angela. “Angela doesn’t even have the courage to answer your calls. Clearly, she’s feeling guilty about something!”

James remained silent as his thoughts were consumed by the dilemma at hand. “Mom, even if Angela is involved, we can’t afford to antagonize her now, After all, aren’t you still relying on her to help rescue Joseph and Zacharias?”

Scarlet looked extremely pale, but deep down, she felt that Joseph and Zacharias were indeed slightly more important than Fanny, so she could only sigh and shake her head.

James attempted to comfort her. “I doubt Angela’s behind this. ‘If it were her, Mom, you wouldn’t need to worry about Fanny so much.”

For some reason, he just couldn’t believe Angela was capable of being cruel or ruthless.

Scarlet fell into silence, and her expression was grim.
