“Mike…” James couldn’t believe it. He glanced at Angela and repeated Scarlet’s words. “Mike is dead.”
Angela was shocked to hear this.
Then, her eyes darkened. She thought something was not right.
She remembered Sarah reminding her to pay more attention to Mike previously, and she even mentioned seeing Fanny go to see Mike. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She had always felt that things were not simple, and now she realized what she had overlooked.
James hung up the phone, and in a pleading tone, he added, “Angela, you see… Mike is dead. It takes more than a day or two to transfer the household registration, but Zacharias is
With a hint of coldness in her eyes, Angela sneered. “Mr. Kins, stop acting helpless in front of me. While it may take months for others to do such things, it’s not a difficult task for the Kins Family, is it?”
“Angela…
James wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Angela
With a hint of impatience, she said, “I hope you remember what I said. I will not entertain
any more excuses.”
With a deep breath and a somewhat defeated expression, James responded, “Don’t worry, I will find a way to handle this.”
Angela stated icily, “I’ll wait for good news then.”
As James turned to leave, Angela hesitated for a moment before calling out to him.
“There’s something I think I should tell you,” Angela smirked. “Fanny seems to have a knack for foreseeing things
“What?” asked a slightly perplexed James.
Angela smiled gently and explained, “When I was in the hospital before, I met Sarah…”
Upon hearing this name, James‘ expression became somewhat unnatural.

Angela knew about their relationship, but it had nothing to do with Sarah.
She continued, “Sarah told me that Fanny had visited Mike, but she seemed very cautious, afraid of being seen by others.”
James furrowed his brow as if pondering something.
“Unexpectedly, shortly after she visited, Mike passed away.” Angela sounded sorry. “Mike’s illness was not as serious as Zacharias‘. It seems like it was all planned.”
James looked puzzled. “What are you trying to say?”
Angela’s gaze turned cold. “I just think it’s a bit too coincidental. You’re, after all, the big boss of Riverdon. Don’t you get it?”
Angela continued to explain kindly, “According to the normal process, in a situation like this, Fanny would probably have to wait one or two months to change her household registration, right?”
James‘ face became serious.
Normally, when a household head passes away, the village waits a few days, holds a funeral, reports the death, cancels the household registration and then appoints a new head of the household. Changing househ
registration requires procedures, which, even if completed quickly, will take a long time.
Other people can wait, but not Zacharias.
And Fanny had no emotional connection with Mike. She also despised the Lynch Family, so how could she have visited Mike?
Could it be-
Was Mike’s death related Fanny?
James was startled by his thoughts.
That’s not possible.
How could Fanny kill someone when she is so delicate that she couldn’t even bear to kill a fish or a rabbit?
His thoughts had become crazy lately due to too much pressure.
But why did Angela say these things?

She has no reason to accuse Fanny of anything like this.
Angela saw the look on James face and knew he was probably starting to piece things together.
James was skeptical but refused to believe. Similar to prejudice, fixed thinking is not something that can be instantly altered.
Want to say. You should know
She cleared her throat and stated. I’ve told you everything I what to do next, right? I do not want to hear any more excuses the next time you contact me.”
With that. Angela entered the Lawson Family mansion.
Meanwhile, James, looking dejected, returned to the Kins Family.
At home, only Fanny and Scarlet were present.
The two appeared to be engaged in a conversation.
James weakly inquired. “Mom, have you prepared the documents I requested?”
Fanny and Scarlet turned to face James.
Scarlet responded. “I… didn’t I tell you, Mike has passed away. It’s not easy to change a household registry. I’ve checked, and it will take at least a month for the process to be completed.”
James, with a blank expression, reached out his hand and said, “Bring the documents, Fanny, and your
1. ID. I’ve already contacted Dad. He will meet us there.”
George Kins, who had been preoccupied with Linda, was still the head of the household at the moment and had no strong feelings about this.
Fanny’s face darkened when she heard this. “James, do you have to do this? Can’t you wait a little longer? Must you kick me out of the house?”
What the hell?
Was all the effort in vain
James didn’t want to elaborate. “Fanny, you’re an adult now, you should know better. I’ve explained it to you before about how urgent this is.”
With a pitying expression, Fanny bit her lip and answered, “I understand. I want to help. Zacharias, too. But there have been complications. Mom and I have asked; this process.

doesn’t move as quickly as we hoped.”
“So… Can you talk to Angela, please? I promise I will comply with her wishes? Fanny appeared sincere. “I swear, I’ll even sign a contract, Whatever it takes.”
“Yes, that’s right.” Scarlet added, “It’s not that we don’t want to help, it’s just not feasible. Can’t we negotiate, James?”
James stated coldly, “Do you think Angela is someone you can negotiate with?”
The two fell silent.
Fanny fidgeted while standing still.
James grew irritated, saying, “Fanny, get your ID. We need to go now since they’re are closing
soon.
Fanny looked uneasy and asked softly, “Can it be done today?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” James‘ tone became impatient. “Why are you still here?”
Reluctantly, Fanny turned and walked over, wiping her tears away.
Yet, she hesitated.
After a brief wait, James stood up and headed upstairs.
Scarlet was surprised, “Where are you going, James?”
James attempted to enter Fanny’s room, but it was locked.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
James knocked on the door loudly and yelled, “What are you doing?”
Fanny’s voice came from inside, saying, “I–I suddenly have a stomach ache. Just one second, James.”
James was losing patience and felt like nothing was going right, especially after a sleepless night, with his inner turmoil escalating.
He tried to keep his voice down. “Fanny, you have five more minutes! If you don’t come out, don’t blame me.”
He used to find his clingy sister endearing, but when it came to serious matters, he never
