Chapter 149 Take This Money and Leave

The Kins Family members turned to Samuel in horror, only to see his eyes roll backward before he fainted. Oliver released his arm, stood up, and dusted his hands. As the Kins Family members rushed towards Same: I in anger, he strode towards Simon.

“Wait for me, Simon,” Oliver uttered. Simon chuckled. “Don’t harm anyone. You should be gentle with your actions.” Oliver scratched his head as he put on an innocent look. He knew how to be gentle in his actions—it was just a minor bone fracture and nothing fatal. If he acted recklessly, it would be a disaster. and that wouldn’t be good.

When Jonathan appeared, Britney could tell that this man was not to be trifled with, so she quietly retreated to the corner. She planned to wait for him to leave before causing trouble with the Kins Family. Seeing how he had easily injured Samuel’s arm, she was relieved to have made the right choice.

As Britney walked out from the corner with her hands on her waist, she saw Joseph giving first aid to Samuel. Both Joseph and James were about to help carry Samuel away when she stood before the doorway and held her arms out. “What is this? Do you think you can sneak away when I’m not around?!”

Scarlet was infuriated to see Britney causing trouble at a time like this. She was so angry that she couldn’t help but take action. “Move aside. If anything happens to my son, I won’t spare you.”

George couldn’t control himself as well–he reached out to push Britney away. However, Britney swung her arm out and shoved him aside. Then, she rolled up her sleeves and stared at Scarlet with her eyes widened. “Why are you getting mad at me? Did I break your son’s arm?” Britney shouted while jabbing Scarlet’s forehead with her index finger.

“Why didn’t you show your crazy attitude to that man just now? What do you mean you won’t spare me: Do you think I’m easy to bully just because I come from the countryside? I’m telling you, if you don’t bring my daughter to me right now, you won’t even have a chance to leave this place!” Britney continued.

Scarlet came from a well–to–do family and had lived a pampered life for many years. People like Britney seemed to overpower her naturally, and she couldn’t help but give in in the end. Britney continued to attack Scarlet, her loud and shrill voice piercing the ears of the Kins Family.

James was worried about attracting attention from others, so he wanted to put down Samuel and stop her, but when he saw her strong and sturdy figure, he furrowed his brow. If it weren’t for the fact that she was Fanny’s biological mother, he would have had security throw her out long ago. He needed to find someone to pass on the message and get Christopher to take Fanny away quickly.

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the venue, Christopher had one arm around Fanny as he tried to comfort her. Fanny looked like a startled little rabbit–her nose and eyes were red. Christopher’s heart ached as he watched her.

As Britney’s voice reached them, Fanny’s expression crumbled even more. She clung to Christopher as she looked at him with her teary eyes. “Christopher, why hasn’t she left yet? What should we do? What is she trying to do…”

Christopher gently touched her check. “It’s okay, Fanny. I’ll go with you to take a look.” When Fanny and Christopher arrived backstage, the situation was still tense. Scarlet’s face was burning with humiliation from Britney’s attempts at shaming her. When Fanny approached, Scarlet felt as if she had found her

However, James frowned even more than before. Why did Christopher bring Fanny over?! “Fanny Searler

muttered

“Mom.” Feny, whose eyes were filled with tears, hurried toward Scarlet’s arms. As she passed by Britney. Britney swiftly grabbed onto her. “Oh! My daughter, where are you going? Come here and give your mom a hug. She raised her strong arms to embrace Fanny.

A repugnant odor of sweat assaulted Fanny’s nostrils, and the grip on her arm felt painful and sticky. She attempted to resist the woman’s force. “Christopher. Help me!” In a bout of panic, Fanny cried out for Christopher.

Christopher knitted his brow before he stepped over to stop Britney. Yet, Britney’s strength was unexpectedly formidable. Christopher had to exert considerable effort to pry Fanny away from her. Fanny’s complexion, once again, turned pale and ashen. There were tears brimming in her eyes as she attempted to process how she had just been embraced by such an unsavory individual. Upon finding refuge behind Christopher, her gaze turned fierce.

Britney seethed with fury. “You are my son–in–law. How dare you treat your mother–in–law in this manner!” A sense of disgust surged within Christopher. He wanted no association with such a coarse woman. “Stop trying to associate yourself with us. This is not the appropriate setting for your outbursts.”

George seized this opportunity to speak up. “Let’s hurry and get Samuel to the hospital.” Scarlet nodded in agreement. The doctor had warned them the last time about how Samuel nearly lost his arm. The severity of his injury this time was still uncertain…..

Tears welled up in Fanny’s eyes instantly, “Dad, Mom, guys… What will I do if you guys leave me?”

George paused for a moment before offering Christopher an apologetic look. “Christopher, I’ll need you to handle things here for the time being. Christopher pursed his lips and kept quiet. The family took this as consent. However, Fanny, who was still trembling, clutched onto Scarlet’s hand. “Mom, I want to come with you. Don’t leave me here alone.”

Scarlet felt a pang of sorrow. She was about to speak up to stay and comfort her, but Britney interjected. “I am your mother. Your real mother!”

“What is this? Are you trying to fight me for our daughter here!” Scarlet hissed. George, who lacked the empathy of a mother, knew that Britney wouldn’t back down until Scarlet left. “Fanny, Samuel needs immediate medical attention, and we can’t leave him alone. With Christopher here, everything will be

fine.

Scarlet made a difficult decision to let go of Fanny’s hand eventually. “Fanny, your father is right. We’ll be back soon. Don’t be afraid.” James wanted to stay, but he had to take Samuel to the hospital. Joseph remained silent throughout.

Fanny bit her lower lip as tears of resentment welled in her eyes. As the Kins Family departed, the lines at the corners of Britney’s eyes deepened as she forced her lips into a smile. “My dear daughter… With no outsiders around, can I finally have a good look at you?” For years, the Kins Family had prevented her from seeing her daughter, and she had not laid eyes on her since.

She reached out to touch Fanny once more, but a bank card suddenly appeared before her. Britney rolled her eyes. “The Kins Family has resorted to this trick before! I just…”

Christopher interrupted her. “200,000. Is that sufficient?” he asked icily.

200,0007 Britney’s gaze flickered. Christopher knew that the issue wasn’t in the strategy but rather the amount that the Kins Family was willing to offer. He disdainfully tossed the bank card at her. This sum enough to sever your ties with Fanny. Do not return to Riverdon. Considering the fact that you’re Fanny’s biological mother, the Sanders Family will not pursue legal action against yo

despite the harm that

you’ve done today.”

Unbeknownst to Christopher, his confident assumption was incorrect. Britney–a coarse, rural woman with an invalid, bedridden husband who took up all her money–was far too greedy to be satisfied with 200,000. Britney gazed at the bank card on the ground. Her eyes darted around a few times before a sly smile spread across her face. She bent down to retrieve it.

After securely stashing the bank card in the inner pocket of her floral jacket, she looked past Christopher and truly saw Fanny for the first time. Fanny bore no resemblance to her–the young woman was fair- skinned, delicate, and as fragile as porcelain. It was fortunate that Britney had made a mistake back then. If Britney had taken Fanny in, Fanny surely wouldn’t have been able to toil the land like Angela did in the past. Fanny probably wouldn’t even have survived her childhood.

Then, not only would Britney have suffered a great loss, but she also wouldn’t have a cash cow in the present moment. As she stroked the bank card that she had earned that day, Britney grinned contentedly as she decided that it was time to depart.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
