“You wouldn’t dare!” Jane’s voice dripped with contempt as she fixed her gaze on Fanny, whovisibly sweated under her scrutiny. The tension in the van became palpable as Fanny, feeling theweight of Jane’s disdain, struggled to maintain her composure.
“Please find a nearby bathroom to stop at,” Jane finally instructed the driver. Without hesitation, thedriver followed her instructions, and soon, they stopped at a roadside location.
Fanny, feeling grateful, whispered her thanks before clutching her stomach and making her way tothe public restroom.
Meanwhile, Harley and Jane remained in the car, with their bodyguard trailing Fanny to stand watchat the restroom door. Once Fanny disappeared behind the restroom door, Harley broke the silence,“Do you think she’s attempting to deceive us?”
Jane shrugged nonchalantly, “It matters little. As long as we have someone monitoring her, shewon’t escape.” Their sole reason for bringing Fanny along was to ensure she didn’t flee beforeseeing Florence.
Whatever other plans she might harbor were inconsequential to them. That’s why when Fanny senta text message to James earlier, they dismissed it without concern.
When Fanny reappeared from the restroom, her demeanor had noticeably shifted, appearing lessstrained than before.
“Sorry. I had a bit of a stomach ache earlier,” Fanny murmured softly to Jane and Harley as shesettled back into the van.
Now, Fanny seemed considerably more composed, both physically and mentally.
Having exchanged messages with Christopher, she felt assured of contacting him in front ofFlorence without the fear of being caught.
Harley shot Fanny a disdainful glance but maintained her silence.
“If you experience discomfort again, bear with it,” Jane stated calmly, giving Fanny a pointed look.
Recognizing the need to remain submissive under someone else’s roof, Fanny didn’t show anysigns of frustration and simply responded with a smile.
Jane rolled her eyes in boredom and instructed the driver, “Let’s go. Drive faster. We don’t want tokeep Miss Shelton waiting.”
Seated next to Jane, Fanny suddenly asked curiously, “Did you specifically come to pick me

up to meet Miss Shelton?” Though she didn’t genuinely believe it, she aimed to elicit a
response.
Harley cut in before Jane could respond, “Do you really think you’re that important? Jane broughtyou along because Miss Shelton requested it, and there are some tasks involving you.”
Perplexed, Fanny turned to Harley, questioning, “So, are both of you accompanying me to meetMiss Shelton?”
Finding herself unexpectedly in their company on the way to Florence, Fanny couldn’t help but feelpuzzled about their connection.
Jane offered a somewhat affirmative response, “Miss Shelton asked us to bring you along becausesome tasks we’re handling for her involve you.”
“Involving me?” Fanny’s interest was piqued, though she suspected it might not all be positive.Anticipating the unknown, she preferred being forewarned to prepare
herself.
But Jane remained tight–lipped. Impatiently, Harley shot Fanny a glare, urging, “You’ll find out soonenough. Save your questions for later.”
Jane attempted to placate him, “Harley, calm down.” Disgruntled, Harley turned his gaze back toFanny.
Choosing not to press further, Fanny lowered her head, deep in thought. Jane’s cryptic responseleft her with more questions than answers, stirring her curiosity.
Before she could delve into the mystery, her phone rang, cutting through the tense atmosphere withits incoming call ringtone. Feeling a sudden tension, Fanny noticed both Jane and Harley eyeingher.
“Should I take this?” Fanny hesitated, her hand hovering over her phone as she sought input fromJane and Harley. Harley’s response was curt, “Who cares.”
Jane, on the other hand, encouraged, “Go ahead.” Since she had already sent a text to Jamesabout her safety, there was no reason not to answer.
Fanny retrieved her phone, surprised to see the caller’s name displayed: Kaydron. Her composeddemeanor faltered, brows furrowing at the unexpected call.
Before she could decline the call, Jane interjected, “What?” Harley leaned in, equally puzzled,“Kaydron? How is he still reaching you?”
Learning of their acquaintance with Kaydron only heightened Fanny’s unease. Her fingers hesitatedover the screen/frozen in uncertainty. “How do you two know him?” Fanny’s voice trembled,betraying her apprehension.

She now suspected that Jane and Harley’s involvement with Florence was connected to Kaydron.Jane suggested. “Why don’t you answer the call first?”
They understood that the situation with Kaydron was complex and couldn’t be easily explained in afew words. Gritting her teeth, Fanny finally answered the
call.
As soon as the call connected, Kaydron’s voice, laced with urgency, sent a chill through her veins.“Fanny? Why haven’t you come to see me yet?”
Kaydron had called Fanny shortly after his arrest, but after waiting for two hours without her arrival,he was growing impatient.
Especially with the discovery of drugs in his car, along with fingerprints matching his own, he wasfeeling uneasy. He needed to be bailed out, and he believed Fanny could help.
Sensing his unease, Fanny quickly reassured him. “Mr. Reed, I apologize for the delay. I have someurgent matters to attend to, but I’ll make it a priority to visit you soon.”
Though she had no intention of visiting him, Fanny knew it wasn’t the right time to sever ties whileshe remained in Northland.
“This is the last time I’m reaching out to you. You better show up before noon! Otherwise, you’llregret it,” Kaydron threatened before returning the phone to the waiting police officer.
After he hung up the phone, Fanny couldn’t help but let out a disdainful sound. Despite her outwardreaction, she was already plotting how to distance herself completely from whatever trouble he hadgotten himself into.

When it came to dealing with the sinister plot against Angela, Fanny had been meticulous aboutleaving no trace behind. Every move she made was calculated, every action deliberate. So, whenfaced with accusations, she had a solid defense: denial. All she needed to do was firmly assert herinnocence and shed light on the incident where Kaydron had used her photographs as a weapon ofintimidation. In the eyes of the law, his accusations would crumble like a house of cards.
After hanging up the phone, Jane and Harley continued to glance at her with a curious expression.
In such a cramped space, they naturally heard every word Kaydron said.
It was precisely hearing his arrogant demeanor in front of Fanny that made them feel
curious.
“Why are you two looking at me like that?” Fanny asked irritably as she lifted her gaze to meet thetwo pairs of eyes!
Her mood soured as she contemplated the unfairness of the situation. Despite her efforts to

scrub any incriminating evidence from Kaydron’s phone, the fear of his unfounded allegationsimplicating her in Angela’s abduction lingered ominously.
The noticeable sense of injustice gnawed at her and was made worse by the realization that shewas being subjected to yet another round of his menacing threats.
Fortunately, once she returned to Riverdon, she wouldn’t be afraid of him causing trouble.
This morning, she received two calls from Kaydron, but she didn’t dare to ask anything aboutAngela’s whereabouts, just in case the police on the other end suspected her involvement.
She hoped against hope that Kaydron would exercise restraint and refrain from further tarnishingher already precarious reputation with his damning accusations.
