Chapter 470 Like A Dream
Christopher, do you think this plan will work? What if Florence’s people only release me after they see you?” Fanny voiced her concerns.
Having been coerced into Florence’s scheme to deceive Christopher into coming to Northland, Fanny had already contemplated the possibility of being unable to evade Florence’s people before Christopher’s arrival. Christopher remained unperturbed, directing her to seize an opportunity to board the plane. Yet, even if she found a chance, could she truly escape two robust men? She might have to confront them directly on that day.
Christopher fell silent. Anxiously, Fanny called out, “Christopher?”
“Yeah,” Christopher replied before offering reassurance. “Nevertheless, I'll try to distract Florence’s people for you. When the moment arises, give it your all.”
The thought of giving her utmost effort filled Fanny with fear. Her complexion paled, and she hesitated to contemplate the consequences of failing to return to Riverdon triumphantly. Would Christopher choose to marry someone else? Dizziness washed over her, leaving her feeling profoundly helpless.
Despite her apprehension, Christopher provided limited guidance, instructing Fanny to confirm the time and contact him. He remained willing to collaborate with her.
After the call concluded, Fanny experienced a sense of coldness in her heart. She deliberated on whether to adhere to Christopher’s directives. After careful consideration, she realized she did not wish to stay in Northland. Not only did Florence pose a threat, but Kaydron also had a repulsive presence. If she failed to return within the three-day timeframe as instructed by Christopher, she was apprehensive that his ultimate verdict would lead to the loss of everything she had.
Christopher emerged not only as Fanny's final choice but also as her optimal selection. Upon her return to Riverdon, bearing the reputation she had previously established, her only viable option was Christopher.
Despite Fanny's profound concern. She was only able to assume the risk. Despite the necessity of her departure, she still needed to confront Kaydron, if only to ensure the destruction of the photos. Additionally, she was required to convince Zacharias to accompany her back. Nevertheless, persuading Zacharias to accompany her back to Riverdon could be challenging, especially with Joseph still in custody.
In the midst of Fanny’s anxiety, George unexpectedly contacted her. She was taken aback and thought, Why is Dad trying to communicate with me? After a short pause, she responded to the phone call. “Dad? Is there anything you require assistance with from me?” she inquired cautiously.

Fanny thought, Since Dad was compelled to return to Riverdon by Joseph, we have lost contact. What is the rationale behind his decision to contact me at this moment?
George inquired, “Why would | contact you if everything was in order? Please return promptly to Riverdon. An arranged marriage alliance with the Sanders Family has already been organized for you. The wedding can take place upon your return.”
Fanny was surprised. She had not expected George to encourage her to go back to Riverdon. A marriage alliance?” She thought, Is it Christopher from the Sanders Family with whom a marriage alliance must be formed?
Fanny had not anticipated that Christopher had been truthful in the past. Michael consented to their marriage, as George was also aware of the alliance.
“What? Have you not been informed of this yet? Michael has already communicated with me to resolve all prior misunderstandings. You and Christopher have harbored mutual feelings for each other consistently. It’s only natural for you to be together.” George expressed this with apprehension, as though he was concerned that Fanny might reconsider.

Upon George’s words, Fanny experienced a tumult of emotions, yet she dutifully responded. “I comprehend, Dad. | will return promptly.” She thought, If it were not for Northland’s turmoil, | would promptly return by air.
Upon receiving assurance from Fanny, George chose not to prolong the conversation and promptly terminated the call. He proceeded to call Christopher. “Christopher, | have provided encouragement to Fanny, and she has indicated that she will return shortly.” He conveyed in a markedly gentler manner compared to his interactions with Fanny, subtly infused with unintended flattery.
“Thank you, Mr. Sanders,” Christopher responded. He was reluctant to delay any further, apprehensive that circumstances could alter. He specifically requested George to encourage Fanny, which contributed to his sense of reassurance, regardless of its effectiveness.
“There is no need for gratitude. The money you lent me previously has been fully expended, so for now...” George hesitated. His voice trailed off, gradually diminishing to a mere whisper.
On the opposite side of the conversation, Christopher displayed a frown, conveying a sense of impatience. “Therefore, please refrain from hastening the repayment process. Just return it when you have the money.”
George, taken aback, did not hear the customary refusal to repay, which made him feel uneasy. “I will reimburse you once | am in possession of the funds. Do you possess additional funds, Christopher? Could you please provide me with additional assistance?” However, his lack of shame enabled him to inquire, even in such circumstances.
Upon George’s return to Riverdon, his gambling addiction was not entirely eradicated. After engaging in clandestine gambling activities on several occasions without James‘ knowledge,

George ended up losing nearly all of his funds. In his desire to regain it, he contemplated seeking a loan from an individual. However, the Kins Family’s financial status declined, and his reputation deteriorated. He requested financial assistance, yet he could not secure a loan from anyone.

George said, “Ah, there’s no necessity for that. How may | be of assistance to you? Just give me the funds, and | will address the issue autonomously. Furthermore, in light of your forthcoming union with Fanny, you may commence addressing me as Dad at an earlier juncture.”
Christopher exhibited notable impatience while listening to George’s efforts to flatter him. He thought, Call him ‘Dad’? | have never held a favorable opinion of him. He wishes to alter the manner in which | previously referred to him. It is akin to a dream.
Despite harboring feelings of disdain, Christopher maintained a gentle tone in his speech. “Mr. Sanders, | have utilized all of my discretionary funds to buy gifts for Fanny and organize surprises for her. | am currently unable to procure the necessary funds. Should | inquire with my Dad on your behalf?”
Upon learning of Christopher’s intention to approach Michael, George promptly rejected the idea. “There’s no need,” he mused. I’ve already met with Michael that day. If | had the chance to ask for money, | would've approached him directly. Why involve Christopher in the conversation?
George refrained from seeking a loan from Michael due to the potential risk of James discovering the transaction. His only fear was that James, the current head of the Kins Family company, might cease transferring money to his account if he found out about George’s gambling activities. George hesitated to give up his primary source of income and was keen
