Chapter 479 Don’t Dare To Speak Nonsense
James sensed something off about Fanny’s behavior.
She seemed nervous. Has something happened between her and Kaydron?
He frowned abruptly.

“Fanny,” he called softly, noting her head bowed and arms wrapped around herself, trembling slightly.
Fanny then looked up at James, her eyes brimming with tears.
“James, that Kaydron forced me, so I…” She gave a vague response, mainly playing the victim, hoping James would fill in the blanks and stop her from elaborating.
As expected, James, out of sympathy, interrupted her, “Fanny, stop there.”
Fanny trembled again, sobbing. “James, how did you know about him?”
She was extremely concerned that James might have seen the photos or met Kaydron directly.
Though she was a victim in this situation, she had also incited Kaydron to act against Angela. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
She didn’t want her family to know about those incidents.
“Just came across it,” James casually dismissed the topic of Kaydron, partly to avoid upsetting Fanny and also to steer the conversation toward the main issue.
Without waiting for her response, he asked, “Fanny, do you know Miss Florence Shelton?”
Fanny was taken aback again.
Still pondering over Kaydron’s matter, she wondered why James suddenly mentioned Florence.
But she dared not speak carelessly about Florence.
“I do,” Fanny hurriedly said, “James, I met Miss Shelton by chance before. She has been trying to find a way to meet Jonathan.”
Although she was cautious, she avoided mentioning Florence’s attempts to use Christopher as leverage to meet Jonathan.
Having resolved to marry Christopher properly in Riverdon, she naturally wouldn’t continue

assisting Florence as before.
:
Pleased with her affirmative answer, James nodded appreciatively, then asked, “Can you reach out to her?”
Fanny looked at James in surprise, her lips moving, but she neither confirmed nor denied.
Seeing Fanny silent, he spoke up, “I thought of a way to get Joseph out early, but it requires Miss Shelton’s little help.”
He had realized that in a city as complex as Northland, he wouldn’t have as much influence as Florence.
While he couldn’t get a straight answer from the police about who was applying pressure, Florence could likely find out and even secure the release directly.
Therefore, winning over Florence was essential.
Hearing it was for saving Joseph, Fanny understood why James had previously mentioned they would all return to Riverdon once Joseph was released.
With Florence’s intervention, Joseph could probably be released that same day.
However, she wondered how James knew she was acquainted with Florence.
Could it be that the two people Florence had following me had been discovered by James?
But she then thought it was unlikely.
If James had noticed she was being monitored by Florence’s people, he wouldn’t have remained so calm and serious.
Realizing this, she felt less tense.
“Really?” She looked at James skeptically, remembering his words.
Could he really get Florence to help release James?
James nodded affirmatively.
Then, Fanny said, “James, I only have Miss Shelton’s number.”
She had more than Florence’s number, but she was hesitant and reluctant to contact Florence directly, fearing Florence might bring up Christopher.
James sensed her reluctance to contact Florence and took over the conversation, saying, “I don’t need you to make the contact; I can handle it myself.”

Fanny nodded, pulled out her phone, and read out Florence’s number.
As she recited the number, Fanny felt a twinge in the spots where Florence’s people had hit her before.
James quickly noted down the number and comforted Fanny.
Before leaving, he asked, “Do you need my help with Kaydron?”
Upon hearing this, Fanny immediately shook her head vigorously, her expression filled with refusal.
She didn’t want James involved in the matter with Kaydron.
James confirmed again, “Are you sure you don’t need my help?”
“No need, James, I can handle it. I’ll sort it out before we go back to Riverdon,” Fanny said hastily, her voice trembling.
James seemed to notice the quiver in her voice and finally sighed. “Whatever happens, if you need help, just tell me. I’ll definitely help you.”
After seeing Fanny nod earnestly, James concluded, “Let’s end our discussion here for today, Fanny. Go back and rest well.”
Fanny, feeling like she had been pardoned, bowed her head and hurried out, feeling a mix of respect and fear towards James.
After Fanny left, James didn’t directly contact Florence; instead, he first consulted with Hugh.
Once they had discussed everything thoroughly, he then called Florence.
Upon receiving James‘ call, Florence’s first reaction was to ask who was on the line, her tone somewhat unfriendly.
“Miss Shelton, it’s me, James Kins. We’ve met before. Do you remember?”
James‘ voice grew increasingly gentle, his words progressively humbler.
His cautiousness almost seemed to spill out through the phone.
Florence enjoyed hearing people speak with trepidation, especially when she was in a bad mood.
She liked listening to the fearful tone in their voices.
Therefore, she quite appreciated James‘ careful appeasement.

However, she wasn’t someone who remembered just anyone.
Who was James Kins again?
Thus, she casually asked again, “Who? I don’t recognize you.”
After saying this, she didn’t rush to hang up the phone; instead, she felt like having a casual chat for a bit before ending the call.
James, sensing the perfunctory and casual tone in Florence’s voice, realized she probably hadn’t seriously considered whether she remembered him. He quickly provided a more detailed response, while also not forgetting to compliment Florence again.
He described the time they followed Jonathan’s car to his company and subtly embellished the details, mainly to flatter Florence.
Towards the end of his recount, James expressed indignant support for Florence.
“Miss Shelton, you graciously made the effort to approach Mr. Lawson, and he must certainly be aware of your feelings, but…”
Florence seemed to become interested, asking, “But what?”
She found James‘ words pleasing, and even though she thought he was exaggerating, she wanted to hear more.
