Chapter 284 Spreading Rumors
“Joseph? Why are you back?” Fanny looked at Joseph with a mix of surprise and
fear, unsure of where to place her hands and feet.
“Fanny, you shouldn't have returned. Angela won't go easy on Zacharias if she
finds out,” Joseph said, his tone softening at the sight of Fanny's pitiful
expression.
“Joseph, I can't go back to the Lynch Family. That woman treated me so poorly
before, and even though she’s locked up now, people will still gossip about me.”
Fanny cried as she spoke, appearing very pitiful.
“Didn't Mom rent a house for you?” Joseph suggested helplessly. “Move in there.
You can always come to us if you need anything but don’t come back here. That
way, Angela won't have a chance to find fault with you.”
Fanny bit her lip, about to say something, when she suddenly heard a noise
coming from the kitchen.
She gasped and hurriedly made her way to the kitchen.
ut soup. T
Joseph followed, only to find Fanny carefully ladling out soup.
Seeing Joseph approaching, Fanny timidly said, “Joseph, this is the soup I made
for you. I was planning to bring it to you when I visit Mom later, but she’s still
asleep, and I want to spend more time with her, taking care of her.”
Touched by Fanny's thoughtfulness, Joseph felt a mix of heartache and
tenderness and reassured her. “Thank you, Fanny. I know you've been through a
lot, but there's no other option right now. Once Zacharias is better, we'll bring you
back.”
Fanny continued to plead, “But I want to be closer to my brothers so I can see all
of you more
often.”
Scarlet had been kind to her, but the place she had rented before, as a
compromise with Angela to save Zacharias, was not only far away but also had
poor conditions.
She didn’t want to live in such a remote place.
Joseph asked, “Fanny, do you want to take care of Mom? I've already hired a
caregiver, so you
don't need to worry about to take

“But a caregiver isn't family after all, and I'm not at ease.” Fanny grew a bit
anxious and started to cry. Joseph, please let me stay home to care for Mom. It's
closer here.”
“You can't stay at home.” Joseph, feeling helpless, finally compromised by
renting a house. near the Kins Family for Fanny. “But I can rent a house for you
near home and the hospital.”
Upon hearing this, Fanny, though still reluctant, understood that this was the best
solution and could only agree.
“Joseph, can I visit Mom later?”
“You can. Joseph patted her head. “You're Mom's daughter. Of course, you can
visit her. She'll be very happy.”
When Angela was informed by Joseph that Fanny's situation had been sorted
out, she and Cassie had already left the mall with a successful shopping trip.
Angela had bought a few clothes, including some for Jonathan, while Cassie had
purchased a variety of gifts to bring joy to the family.
After the previous incident at the club, her dad still hadn't completely calmed
down.
Cassie had booked a private hot spring, and the two of them planned to relax
and unwind.
This is so relaxing, Cassie sighed while sitting in a bathrobe in the private hot
spring.
Angela also found the hot spring very enjoyable and thought about Jonathan's
busy schedule lately. Perhaps she could find time to bring him here for a soak.

After finishing her run, Cassie went to the bathroom while Angela changed
clothes and waited in the rest area. Unexpectedly, she bumped into an
acquaintance.
“Angela, what a coincidence to see you here. Are you alone? Would you like to
join us?”
Winter gestured towards a group of people in the distance.
Angela glanced up and spotted Winter, unconsciously furrowing her brow.
Encountering Winter twice in such a short span of time, she found it difficult to
maintain a positive attitude.
“No worries. I have a friend accompanying me.”
“Oh, she’s too aloof to hang out with us,” Beside Winter was a stranger who
sarcastically commented on her and pulled Winter away.

Casting a glance back at Angela, Winter noticed her frown and sneered inwardly.
“Let's see how long you can keep up this pride, Angela. Enjoy it while it lasts!”
With that, Winter departed reluctantly.
Curious to see how long Angela could uphold her pride, she feared that it
wouldn't last through the night.
Angela watched Winter leave without much thought.
Cassic swiftly returned, and the two of them packed up, preparing to depart.
Just as they were about to head home, Cassie mentioned, “Angela, something
has come up. Someone is spreading rumors about you on the forum.”
She handed her phone to Angela, displaying a post accusing her of using
connections to secure a spot and cheating to claim first place.
The post appeared convincing and supported by solid evidence.
“This person is spreading lies here. I'm going to set the record straight!”
With that, Cassie began responding to the post.
However, amidst the replies, in addition to Cassie's firm stance, there were
skeptics and even individuals hurling insults and curses at Angela.
The post was rife with hostility.
t
Before Angela could even open the post on her phone, she received a call from
Jessica.
“Jess, what's going on?”
International calls were costly, prompting Angela to wonder why Jessica had
suddenly reached out.
“Angela, have you seen the post on the forum? Those people are fabricating
stories there.”
Surprisingly, Jessica also referenced the post immediately, to which Angela
responded, “I just saw it. No need to worry.”
Despite being overseas, Jessica remained attentive to her friend's affairs,
warming Angela's heart.
With friends like Jessica and Cassie, even in the face of slander, she felt less
intimidated.

“These people are vile! They must have been bribed to tarnish your reputation.”
“Cassie, let's not dwell on them for now. Jessica reported the post, so it should
be addressed
soon.”
Given that this was on the school forum, any reported post would be
investigated, and action would be taken by the administrators.
“But it seems like the post was made by an administrator. He must have been
bribed!” Cassie's anger escalated.
“What's her name?”
“Huh?” Cassie grasped the situation and looked at Angela in confusion.
“What's the name of that administrator?”
Angela suspected a connection to Winter, especially considering her recent
confrontational remarks.
