Chapter 421 Being Disrespected
Fanny not only endured mockery from Jane and Harley but was also coerced into drinking through a bottle of wine. She refrainedfrom calling Christopher over, which led Jane and Harley to accuse her of wasting their time, pushing her to drink as an apology.novelbin
Fanny was reluctant but felt pressured, as she knew leaving was not an option, not with the circumstances. Finally, sheconsumed half a bottle of wine, thanks to the despicable Harley. Unsurprisingly, as she exited the club’s private room, she waswobbly and not in the greatest condition. Without the bouncer watching everything unfold help, she felt disoriented, hersurroundings blurred, trying her best to navigate the corridor clumsily when suddenly, she collided with somebody’s chest.
“Watch where you're going!”
The loud voice echoed, and she was seized by the hair and lifted. Her scalp stung as she raised her alcohol-clouded gaze,struggling to discern the features of the individual. She could not identify the person in her inebriated state, but the voicereminded her of Christopher.
“Hey there, little lady, have you had too much to drink?”
Upon seeing Fanny’s intoxicated face, the man’s irritation dissipated, replaced by a lecherous grin. Kaydron, a portly figure in histhirties, exuded a coarse and uncultured demeanor in both his speech and actions. Unfortunately, his voice bore a strikingresemblance to Christopher's.
Fanny, who was thoroughly confused, mumbled hazily, “C—Chris...”
Kaydron bared his yellowed teeth in a lascivious smile, remarking, “Chris? Call me ‘big brother, and I'll take you to a privateroom.”
Unable to respond, Fanny was led away by the uncouth nouveau riche.

This incident did not take long to reach Jane’s ears.
“Tsk, | wonder how Chris will react when he finds out,” Jane remarked sardonically, sipping her drink.
Mary then suggested, “Christopher has attracted the attention of the Shelton Family. Perhaps you should find another“insurance” for yourself, Jane?”
Jane began to contemplate the suggestion. Once Christopher returned home and settled in, he finally turned on his cell phone.Upon doing so, he noticed a missed call from Fanny, evoking a sense of uneasiness. Fanny had contacted him while his cellphone was off, and this made him anxious, and rightfully so.
Christopher immediately assumed she must be upset due to his lack of response. His next concern was whether she hadencountered any trouble. Hastily, he dialed her number.
Meanwhile, the bodyguard who had escorted him back had almost finished packing his belongings. Christopher’s growingconcern over Fanny's unavailability heightened his anxiety, amplifying with each ignored call. In the midst of his escalating worryover Fanny, he found unexpected reassurance in the presence of the bodyguards. Hence, he inadvertently stalled theirdeparture without urgency.
On the other hand, Fanny remained unreachable despite numerous attempts. After his fifth failed call, he contacted Joseph.When Joseph picked up the call, he was immediately bombarded with insults before he could utter a word.
Given different conditions, Christopher might have apologized to Joseph, considering Fanny’s status. Nevertheless, herprolonged unavailability. prompted him to sidestep the risk of further aggravating Joseph. “Joseph, I’ve been attempting tocontact Fanny to no avail. Do you have any idea where she might have gone?”

Joseph snapped back sharply, “You have the nerve to ask abo
if you have any right to know about Fanny! Your behavior is probably the reason she’s ignoring you.”Christopher furrowed his brow while suppressing his anger. “Joseph, why don’t you try reaching out to Fanny?”With that final remark, he ended the call.
Even though Joseph vehemently disagreed with Christopher's persuasion of Zacharias to donate a kidney, he could not ignoreChristopher’s genuine concern for Fanny. Thus, immediately after disconnecting the call, Joseph attempted to contact Fanny.However, there was no response when he called her phone.
Like a pendulum frozen at its peak, his heart hung in suspense.
Despite his overwhelming worry, he swiftly regained his composure and dialed again. After several rings, a voice finallyanswered on the other end.
With a sigh, Joseph felt the weight lift off his chest. His fingers trembled with excitement as he gripped his phone tightly, eager tospeak. “Fanny, y- you..” His words were cut short by the interruption of a deep voice on the other end.
“Hello?”It belonged to a man that’s distinctly older than Joseph.“Who are you? Why are you answering Fanny’s phone?” Joseph inquired angrily.
“Fanny?” Kaydron’s voice cut through the room, breaking the silence that followed his intimate encounter with the heavilyintoxicated woman lying motionless on the bed. He reached for the ringing phone, his eyes lingering on her unconscious figurewith a mixture of satisfaction and

detachment. Seating himself on the edge of the bed, he lit a cigarette, and the glow of the flame cast shadows on the room’swalls,
“Who are you?” Joseph demanded impatiently.Kaydron took a drag of his cigarette and replied, “I’m her partner.”With a flick of his thumb, he cut the call short.
With thoughts of Fanny lingering, he delivered a swift smack to wake the person swiftly before delving back into his pursuits.
Meanwhile, Joseph was seethingwith anger upon hearing Kaydronis |

Christopher’s concern heightened as he picked up the call from Joseph, his voice tinged with worry as he asked, “What’s goingon with Fanny?”
However, Joseph remained silent, pressing for information on Fanny’s whereabouts. Being equally anxious, Christopher recalledseeing her last at the hospital. He practically left the hospital right after Fanny did, assuming she would head home. Little did heknow, Fanny never went home at all.
“You must send someone to find Fanny now!” Joseph insisted as he was devising a plan of his own.
Christopher sensed something had happened to Fanny, but Joseph refused to disclose any details. Christopher rose to leave,frustrated. With no leads, he decided to search the vicinity. As he made his way out of the room, a bodyguard intercepted himbefore he could reach the front door.

Chapter 421 Being Disap
“What is the meaning of your actions?” Christopher demanded.
The bodyguard took his belongings while checking the time. “Mr. Sanders, Mr. Lawson has requested your return to Riverdon.”
Even if Christopher had no intention of leaving, they were determined to escort him back. Christopher was halted in his tracks ashe was attempting to slip away alone,
Feeling as if a blow had landed, he exclaimed, “What? | won't go back!”The bodyguard’s response was firm and unwavering. “If you don’t return to Riverdon, the Shelton Family will hunt you down.”
His reaction was visceral, as if physically struck. “What? No way am | going back!”
