Serve No One This Life

Chapter 380 For Fanny, He Wouldn’t Mind

When Jane hung up on Christopher for the third time impatiently, her friend beside her leaned in.

Her friend, Harley Swift, handed a glass of wine to her and casually inquired, “Who keeps calling you?” Frowning, Jane took the glass of wine from her friend and replied, “It’s someone from a blind date. Harley suddenly became intrigued, sitting up a bit straighter. “Blind date? The one who dared to hit you?”

It was hard for her not to focus on Jane’s face as she asked this. Despite the dim lighting of the bar, she could still see the imprint of a slap on Jane’s face.

Noticing Harley’s gaze, Jane frowned and said. “I hit him back much harder.”

Even though she had returned the slap several times over, the thought of the slap mark left by Christopher, which had not yet faded, made her realize that he had not held back at all.

Feeling infuriated, she downed another glass of wine.

She had seen Christopher‘ text invitation before, but she had chosen not to respond. Unsure of his intentions in contacting her now, she preferred to ignore him.

Her father had mentioned that the Sanders Family was seeking a favor from them, so she could act entirely as she pleased.

Despite her father’s words, she hadn’t explicitly expressed her dislike for Christopher. She knew that even without him, her father would arrange another blind date for her.

However, not everyone would be as manageable as Christopher.

Just as Harley was about to say something. Jane’s phone lit up again. Harley decisively offered, “Jane, if you don’t want to answer, let me do it. I’ll give him a piece of my mind!”

Jane, having had a few too many drinks, didn’t catch what was said, especially with the sudden increase in the bar’s music volume.

“What did you say?” She asked.

Harley had already picked up her phone, pointing at it and saying, “Jane, I’ll scold him for you!”

With that, Harley answered the call..

By the time Jane realized what was happening and tried to snatch the phone back, it was too late to stop

her.

Christopher, who had finally gotten through to Jane’s phone, was pondering how to start the conversation when he was greeted with a barrage of insults.

He was stunned, confused, and puzzled.

After a moment, he realized that the person on the other end of the line was not Jane.

“Who are you, and why are you answering Jane’s phone? Where is Jane?”

Harley snorted, ready to continue her tirade, but Jane took the phone from her.

Without hesitation. Jane promptly ended the call.

“Jane, why did you hang up?l wasn’t done scolding him! You can’t let a man who hits women off the hook!”

Harley said regretfully, her heart aching and her indignation growing as she saw the not–yet–faded red mark on Jane’s face.

“Why bother with him?” Jane understood Harley’s temperament and handed her a glass of wine. “Just drink.”

Reluctantly, Harley took a sip before inquiring, Jane, what’s wrong?”

Jane pondered for a moment before recounting the earlier events. She had just stood Christopher up didn’t want to see him now.

However, Harley had a different perspective.

and

“Jane, if he’s calling you long after the agreed time, it’s not just you who stood him up; he didn’t show up either!”

Harley never hesitated to assume the worst of men when it came to defending her friends.

Her offhand accusation turned out to be spot–on.

“That must be it; a man as impatient as him would have called you immediately after being stood up!”

The more she spoke, the more convinced she became, piling up her grievances against Christopher.

Jane, somewhat convinced, found Harley’s theory plausible.

Seeing Jane mostly convinced, Harley felt that such a man needed to be taught a lesson, egging her on: Jane, if he calls again, just play along and you’ll know.”

Jane reluctantly agreed.

As if on cue, Christopher called the next second.

Jane took a deep breath and answered the call.

“Why did you stand me up?” Jane questioned as soon as the call connected.

Christopher was taken aback, confused by her question since he thought Jane also hadn’t shown up.

But his first reaction was to explain, “I got held up by something, I’m sorry, Ms. Coolidge.”

His answer confirmed he had indeed missed the appointment..

Harley, listening in, couldn’t help but interject, “He really did stand you up! What a jerk, standing someone up and then keeping in touch?”

Hearing the voice of the person who had just insulted him, Christopher realized he had been tricked, but he didn’t mind; his aim was to apologize to Jane.

As long as he could satisfy Michael afterwards, he could ask him to find a kidney donor.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Thinking that all of this was for Fanny, Christopher suppressed his temper and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Collidge. I’m here to apologize for this,”

Jane snorted. “A phone call to apologize? I don’t hear any sincerity.”

Harley chimed in, “If you have the guts, come and apologize in person!”

Christopher hesitated for a second, then decisively asked, “Ms. Collidge, where are you? I’ll come and apologize in person.”

He could tell from the noise on Jane’s end that she was probably in a bar or a similar place. In such a place where he might not even be able to see people’s faces clearly, he could just apologize and leave. He couldn’t care about a little dignity for the sake of Fanny.

Jane and Harley exchanged a glance, and under Harley’s encouragement, Jane gave Christopher the address of the bar.

After hanging up the phone, Harley said, “Just watch me later, Jane. I’ll make sure he’s embarrassed!”

Jane knew she was up to something mischievous, but she also wanted to see Christopher embarrassed. She smiled and raised her glass to clink with Harley.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

As their glasses clinked, they shared a smile.

Meanwhile, at the Northland Airport.

A woman walked out of the airport.

The woman was bright and flamboyant, and as soon as she appeared, someone noticed her and hurried over to greet her.

“Miss Shelton, welcome back to the country!” The person who greeted her didn’t seem like an ordinary businessman but more like someone associated with the underworld.

The woman glanced at him and ignored him.

The man didn’t mind and continued, “Miss Shelton, do you want to go home? The car is over there.”

The woman finally paused, giving the man a faint smile, “Why go home? Take my luggage; I’m going to

see some friends.”

Her return was not to attend her brother’s funeral; she was back to squander the family fortune.

The woman was Miss Shelton from the Shelton Family. She was convinced that after her brother’s death, the Shelton Family, influential in both the underworld and legitimate spheres, would inevitably fall into

her hands.

Not only because she was of the Shelton bloodline, but also because of the family’s old–fashioned patriarch.

If the outcome was already destined, why should she exert herself? Why not live as freely and recklessly as her brother did?
