Despite this, she remained understanding and put on a brave front. “It’s alright, Christopher. I’m just glad you’re here. Don’t worry, I’ll manage. I can handle this on my own.”
While speaking, Fanny suddenly bowed her head, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
However, she didn’t want Christopher to witness her vulnerability, so she purposely turned away. “I’m sorry, Christopher. I need to use the restroom.”
As she moved to leave the bed, Christopher reached out and stopped her. “Fanny, I apologize. It’s my fault. I’ve been extremely busy lately. The company landed a major project, and I need to excel for our future.”
Fanny nestled into Christopher’s embrace. “I understand.”
Christopher felt powerless.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to visit or that he ignored Fanny’s messages and calls.
Rumors had circulated that Fanny had hired someone to harm her father, and when Teresa found out, she strictly prohibited him from seeing her. Initially, he had planned to visit and clarify things regardless.
However, his father, Michael, intervened.
He intended to wait until the situation calmed down before visiting, but it only worsened.
It wasn’t until James personally came to visit that Michael, albeit reluctantly, relented.
After sharing a tender embrace, Fanny and Christopher slowly parted.
With tears in her eyes, Fanny looked up at Christopher and asked, “Christopher, do believe I would do such a thing?”
you
Christopher immediately shook his head. “Absolutely not. Why else would I be here?”
He had always placed his trust in Fanny, even over his own parents. Yet, his parents‘ concerns were not entirely unfounded, leaving him torn.
Upon hearing Christopher’s reassurance, Fanny felt a glimmer of relief and softly replied, “But the rumors are spreading like wildfire. It’s frightening how easily people are swayed by

gossip. I fear that once I leave the hospital and my injuries heal, the rumors about me will only escalate.”
Christopher gently wiped away Fanny’s tears, “That won’t happen. The truth will prevail, and if there was any truth to the rumors, the police would have taken action by now, right?”
Fanny paled.
The reason she hadn’t been arrested was simply due to a lack of evidence at the moment.
However, the investigation would undoubtedly continue.
Despite her meticulous planning, what if something went awry?
Therefore, she and the Kins Family had agreed to keep the matter discreet. With the police inundated with cases daily, this wasn’t a top priority. As time passed and evidence grew scarce, the issue would fade away.
Yet, with the rumors circulating and heightened scrutiny, the police might allocate more resources to the case.
Fanny sighed. “Gossip has a way of inciting emotions. Remember the actress who portrayed a villain in a popular TV series? She was so convincing that she was pelted with eggs at the
market.”
Reflecting on this, Fanny felt a sense of unease. “If this continues to spread, some individuals unaware of the truth may believe the accusations. Look at Bri… Look at her. Didn’t she harm me?”
Though unnamed, Christopher grasped Fanny’s implication.
After a moment of contemplation, he inquired, “Fanny, how did this situation escalate? Do you know who is maligning you behind your back?”
A glint of coldness flickered in Fanny’s eyes, yet her expression betrayed a hint of resignation. “It’s Linda. Since her family’s bankruptcy, she’s been acting irrationally, and things have spiraled out of control. I don’t understand why.”
“Does she hold a grudge against you?”
“Of course not,” Fanny explained quickly. “I don’t understand why she’s singling me out. She came to the hospital last time and personally told me that she had reported me to the police

“Reported by name?” Christopher was taken aback.
If that’s the case, does it mean that Linda really has something in her hands?
He gave Fanny a slightly suspicious look.
He had always trusted Fanny’s integrity.

Fanny noticed Christopher’s suspicion and realized she had misspoken. She hurriedly added, “Linda’s behavior has been erratic lately. She even tried to seduce my father. Their significant.
Christopher agreed. “Her actions are indeed puzzling.”

Fanny quickly added, “So, I doubt she actually filed a formal report. She probably just said that to intimidate me. But I have nothing to hide, so why should I be afraid?”
“I think she made an anonymous report,” Fanny continued, feeling more confident as she spoke. “Even if it’s anonymous, the police would have to investigate if it involves a murder case. It’s standard procedure.”
She knew Christopher well. Once he believed something, he wouldn’t bother to verify it. And even if he did inquire at the police station, they wouldn’t disclose anything to him.
Only a few high–ranking officers at the police station would be aware of a formal report.
Christopher nodded in agreement with Fanny, finding her reasoning logical.
He changed the topic and asked, “So, she did all this out of jealousy towards you?”
It was truly bizarre.
Fanny also found it hard to believe such a flimsy motive. She added, “Lately, she seems to be getting closer to Angela. Angela has always held a grudge against me and even expressed a desire for me to lose everything I have.”
As Christopher listened, his expression grew colder. “So, they conspired together to frame you using a deceased person?”
Fanny shook her head innocently. “I really don’t know. These are baseless accusations, and it’s difficult to confront them directly. I’m not sure how to make them stop targeting me.”
Christopher felt even more sympathetic towards Fanny. “Don’t worry, you’re doing great. It’s their malicious intentions that are at fault, capable of such despicable acts.”
Fanny bit her lip and looked at Christopher with a pleading expression. “Christopher, I have no other option now. I can only seek your help. I swear I did not harm my father. If I did, then let me suffer for the rest of my life.”
She mentioned her father deliberately, but it was merely a vague promise she made to herself.
Despite her belief in science, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of something ominous looming over her.
She was hesitant to make a solemn vow, fearing potential consequences in the future.
