Chapter 371 You Should Be Thankful That Nothing HappenedYaxley gave Fanny a cold glance and inquired, “Nothing transpired that night, did it?”Fanny paled, caught off guard by Yaxley’s question. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Yaxley furrowed his brow as he observed her. Unable to discern Fanny's expression, he didn’t try to understand her feelings.After a moment, he grew impatient and pressed. “Are you not going to tell me?”

Fanny was startled by his tone, lifted her head resolutely, and inquired. “If | confess, will you release me? While | was involved inthose activities, most of it was at Dylan’s behest!” Moreover, Dylan is also responsible for Yoanna’s car accident. Since Dylanwon't be free for a while, he should shoulder al/ the blame!

“Release you?” Yaxley frowned. “No one is attempting to bail you out?” He thought of Fanny’s former lover. Christopher. Althoughhe didn’t know much about their relationship, he suspected Christopher might find a way to secure Fanny’s release.

Fanny clenched her teeth in frustration. Seeing Yaxley’s oblivious expression, she realized the subordinates had acted againsthis wishes.

Yaxley had no intention of blocking anyone specifically from bailing her out. It was the subordinates who had imposed such arule to appease

him.

Joseph has been here before, but the police denied my bail request, Fanny said pitifully, gazing at Yaxley. “Yaxley, | wasdeceived by Dylan before. | won’t make the same mistake again. Please release me.”

Yaxley coldly cut her off. “Answer my question first. Fanny was accustomed to playing the victim, so he needed to be cautiousaround her. He had no desire to further involve himself with her, but he also had no intention of causing harm.

“|... Fanny bit her lip. She was unsure whether to tell the truth or not. That night. Yaxley had been heavily sedated and wasincapable of doing anything, even if she had wanted to. However, she feared he would walk away if she admitted that nothinghad occurred between them. After all, she had been manipulating him all along, and he had assumed that something hadtranspired between them when he woke up.

“Nothing happened?” Yaxley questioned bluntly. His voice was cold and abrupt, startling Fanny, who was still deliberating. In theend, she couldn't withstand the pressure and nodded.

“Hmph, you should be thankful that nothing occurred, Yaxley said coldly before turning and departing. Before leaving, he had aquick word with the police officers,

Incidentally, Mr. Louise was also present. He respectfully sent Yaxley off before reprimanding Mr. Leofric, who had been on dutythe previous night. “What's the issue? Can you directly say it can’t be bailed out? Can't you think of any other reasons?”

Mr. Leofric asked nervously, “What should we do now, Mr. Louise? Mr. Collier instructed us not to cause any problems becauseof his connections.”

Mr. Louise raised his hand and patted Mr. Leofric’s head. “Are you daft? Allow the individual seeking to bail her out to come andgather more money, understood?”

Mr. Leofric nodded, and Mr.Louise departed. Once Mr. Louise had left, Mr. Leofric promptly arranged for Fanny to contact theperson who could secure her release.

This time. Fanny reached out to Joseph directly Joseph had taken a leave from the hospital and was attempting to devise asolution with Christopher by his side, equally perplexed. Just as they were fretting and at a loss Joseph received a call from thepolice station. Upon receiving the news, the two rushed to the police station immediately. Upon learning the required bailamount, Christopher didn’t hesitate and paid it immediately. Christopher’s enthusiasm toward the situation made Joseph viewhim more favorably.

two had previously brainstormed out of necessity, if Joseph could find a way to get Fannyout aloe, there would be no need to consult with Christopher.

After completing the process. Fanny was finally released. Joseph she saw him again and embraced him, tears of joy streamingdown her face.

Joseph soothingly patted Fanny. It’s okay, Fanny, let’s go home.”Fanny shook her head Dylan gave me where | was staying | don’t want to return.”

Upon hearing Dylan’s name. Joseph frowned in disgust and said. “Well, you can stay with me. | have a place. Although Joseph'splace was a bit remote, the cost of living in the Northland was high. With Zacharias and Scarlet spending money at the hospital,he would naturally be more frugal.

Christopher couldn't even get a word in while listening to the conversation. He could only follow along with a bitter smileBefore the three could leave the police station, a police officer caught up to them. “Fanny, wait”

Fanny was startled, leaning into Joseph as she looked at the approaching officer. She was genuinely terrified of these people,afraid they would lock her up again. Although the food and drink inside were not had her spirit was tormented

“Is there anything else, officer?” Joseph asked, protecting Fanny.“Dylan, who was brought in with her, wants to see her. the officer said.Upon hearing it was Dylan. Fanny quickly shook her head. ‘I don’t want to see him.”

The officer didn’t inest, saying. Then let's go. Ive delivered the message.” The Leigh Family was in a precarious situation, so itwas already a relief that he could deliver this message. He didn’t have the time to take Fanny back to talk to Dylan forciblyforcefully.

Fanny breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but she felt a sense of foreboding as if something bad was about to happen.But she didn’t want to see Dylan again. She wished she could stay far away. It wasn’t intil they got in the car that Fanny’sanxious heart finally settled down.
