"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 replaces 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 replace fault 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 replace 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, tal 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.

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

"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 replace 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.

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.

"How could I not worry? You've been falsely accused! Angela, wait for me. I will report that post for spreading misinformation. It needs to be addressed!" Expressing her indignation, Jessica was visibly angered upon seeing the post.

"Alright. I will take care of it as well. Thank you, Jessica."

After a brief conversation with Jessica, Angela ended the call while Cassie sat beside her, engrossed in a heated exchange on her phone.

Cassie fervently responded to messages, his fingers flying across the keyboard. Her expression darkened upon seeing classmates specifically targeting Angela.

"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.
