Chapter 471 The Cause of Their Downfall
Hearing George’s refusal, Christopher didn’t offer any further suggestions and decisively ended the call After hanging up, his expression turned cold and disdainful.
He used to adore Fanny immensely, extending his affection to the entire Kins Family.
However, remembering Fanny's previous scheme to deceive him into going to Northland on Florence's behalf, he felt a surge of disgust.
On the other side, George was troubled by the disconnected call. Without Christopher's financial assistance, George was at a loss for who else to turn to.
The casino suggested he take out a high-interest loan, but he shuddered at the thought of how a small debt spiraled into a massive one due to Joey’s scheme.
Despite his strong desire to gamble, George dared not engage with high-interest loans again.
And thinking of Joey, who had been unreachable since the incident, George was almost certain he’d been deliberately set up. But why would Joey target me for no reason?
Was it Dylan’s doing?
The thought of Dylan filled George with rage.
After the incident, Dylan had gone into hiding, and George felt he had see character.
ugh his
Now, far away in Riverdon and unable to confront Dylan physically, he decided to at least give him a piece of his mind over the phone.
Meanwhile, James was listening to Fanny share how she agreed to marry Christopher at home. They were not the only ones in the living room. Accompanying them were Scarlet and Zacharias. In comparison to the calm James, Scarlet was livid.
“What are you saying? You agreed to his proposal?”

Her disdain for Christopher was palpable, especially since he once had his eyes on Zacharias‘ kidney.
In an attempt to mediate the situation, Zacharias interjected, “Let Fanny explain, Mom.” After having been interrupted, Fanny was. now unsure of how to continue from where she left off. She could tell Scarlet was furious, but Christopher was her only way out.
With Christopher’s ultimatum over the phone and George urging her, she felt compelled to spill the beans in the hopes that they would all return to Riverdon together.
Hopefully, Florence’s men can't forcefully detain me. At the sight of Fanny’s internal struggles, Zacharias gently urged, “Fanny, just continue.”
With a nod, she resumed from where she left off. “Mom, Dad just gave me a ring. He’s urging me to return to marry Christopher pronto.” After a brief thought, she decided to bring up George in the end.
“Does it have to be with Christopher? He’s not a good man, Fanny!” The grudge Scarlet held for Christopher seemed deep— rooted as her face would distort in displeasure whenever she heard his name.
The helpless Fanny turned to James, who was now in charge of the family in George’s absence. This was why she sought his opinion on this matter.
When she looked at him, everyone followed suit, awaiting his comment. James sensed everyone’s eyes on him, so he cleared his throat and stated, “It will be for the best if Fanny and Christopher’s wedding can occur sooner rather than later.”
Before Scarlet could raise objections, he continued, “Mom, hear me out.” So, she waited, but she was visibly unhappy.
James had no choice but to reveal the current predicaments that their family business was facing in Riverdon. It was something that he kept close to his chest, so the more he explained, the more surprised and concerned acharias and Scarlet were.
Scarlet, incredulous, asked, “James, is what you're saying true?” She could not believe what she had heard. How long has it been? And our family business is already dealing with so much sh*t?
Zacharias was surprised, albeit not as much as Scarlet. After all, Scarlet had been in a coma for quite a period of time and was unaware of what had happened. Upon noticing that James was struggling to respond without making Scarlet upset, Zacharias coughed lightly to draw
attention to himself.

When Scarlet turned to Zacharias, he reassured her, “Mom, James is telling the truth. Don’t worry; he has his own ways to deal with it.”
At this, he expectantly looked at James. Only then did James bring up the potential benefits of an alliance with the Sanderses, including the resolution of their family
predicament, albeit temporarily.

James affectionately ruffled her hair. “Fanny, you are really sensible.”
Scarlet, who was on the side, was at a loss for words, overwhelmed by the sheer number of issues their family faced without her knowledge. Suddenly, she blurted out, “Did all this happen because of that b*tch Angela!?”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
She still remembered George and Linda’s affair, which seemed to involve Angela. However, before Scarlet could further investigate, George had pushed her into her comatose state.
Scarlet had remained in Northland after regaining consciousness, so she did not directly confront Linda. Once her sons informed her that Linda took the blame for pushing her, which led to Linda being imprisoned in bedlam, Scarlet stopped probing even more.
Now, she wanted to visit Linda and ask whether Angela was the instigator.
No one had responded to Scarlet’s accusatory question, so she repeated her question, albeit in a louder tone, “Did Angela cause all this?!”
James answered, “Mom, Angela has nothing to do with what the company is facing.”
When the company first faced issues, it was the consequences of the media pressure surrounding the family scandal. It resulted in the loss of several business collaborators, which was something hardly connected to Angela.
The issues that transpired later did not involve Angela either, especially since she had already moved to Northland.
Scarlet continued to pursue the matter. “It’s definitely all her fault. If it weren’t for her, why would disaster befall our family?” lll

With that, she attributed all the misfortunes in their family to Angela.

James sighed, not wanting to argue further. The last he visited Angela, he felt that she had played him out on top of the trip not being successful, which added to his dissatisfaction with her. He also thought that they did not need to defend Angela because, to liim, she
indeed was the cause of the Kins Family’s downfall.
