Chapter 287 Blind Accusation

Angela felt touched and happy in her heart. "So, are we staying home?"

"You can do whatever you want. I'll accompany you," Jonathan replied, appearing ready to go along with whatever plans she had.

She suggested, "Well then... would you like to go to the hot spring?"

After enjoying the hot spring yesterday, she thought it was quite nice and had even considered taking him along.

But after suggesting it, she realized that it sounded like she was inviting him to bathe together.

Feeling a bit shy and regretful, she hesitated.

Before she could take back her words, he quickly agreed. "Sure, I'll take you to the hot spring today."

She breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably and nodded eagerly. "Okay, Jonathan."

Jonathan patted Angela's head affectionately and said, "Get ready and let's have breakfast."

On one side of Springgate Estates, everyone was happy and harmonious.

On Fanny's side, she was tied to a telephone pole, in a far less desirable state.

She had been unconscious all night, initially from being drugged, and later simply from exhaustion.

Now, upon waking up, she found herself bound to a telephone pole. Looking around, she realized she was in a remote area completely unfamiliar to her. When she saw the scene before her, she felt like crying out of frustration.

"Is anyone there?" She began calling out to her surroundings.
After calling out for what seemed like ages, her voice was almost hoarse. She realized there was nobody around, not even the person who had tied her up. She had no choice but to continue trying to figure out a solution. After numerous attempts, she finally managed to shake her phone loose from her body.

Once she adjusted her phone's position, she found a way to dial Christopher's number.

After finishing all of this, she was exhausted and sweating profusely. Her face turned pale as well.

Fortunately, the call finally went through.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no answer on the other end of the line. Fanny only grew more anxious that she was almost on the verge of tears.

"Why isn't he picking up? What on earth is he doing?"

After struggling for a while, Fanny couldn't get in touch with Christopher, but someone passing by noticed her.

"Why are you tied up here? Who tied you up?"

The person who came seemed to be a villager who lived nearby and asked while untying the rope for her.

Fanny's wrists were red from being bound, and now that she was freed, all her attention was focused on her sore wrists. She replied absentmindedly to the villager, "I don't know who tied

I was tied up here last night." me up.

After saying this, she looked at the villager with teary eyes and asked, "I want to report this. Can you testify for me?"

Christopher's phone had been unreachable, and coupled with being warned by Sophia yesterday not to continue contacting him, this led Fanny to speculate about the person who had tied her up. It has to be Sophia! Only she will do something like this!

That despicable woman not only threatened her but actually went ahead and tied her up. Fanny was determined to make her pay!

The man shook his head upon hearing this. Upon seeing that she was no longer in distress, he stood up to leave, saying, "I need to go back to the construction site, and I don't have time to testify for you." Fanny took a look at his attire and realized that he was probably one of the laborers nearby, so she was disgusted and moved away.

But when she thought of calling the police, it would be best to have someone testify. So, she added, "I'll pay you for two days' wages if you testify for me!"

Though her attitude wasn't particularly good, the laborer agreed, thinking it was worth it to earn two days' wages in one day.

Fanny was filled with contempt when she saw how he acted opportunistically according to the situation.
She called the police, and soon they arrived at the scene and took them both back to the station after collecting evidence.

During the confession recording, when the police asked if she had any suspects in mind, Fanny immediately mentioned Sophia's name.

Sophia had the audacity to warn her, so she was prepared to be suspected by Fanny.

Tearfully, Fanny recounted the incident of being warned by Sophia over the phone yesterday. They quickly took action and brought Sophia to the station.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

They faced each other, and Sophia realized that Fanny was the reason for her questioning.

"Officer, I didn't send anyone to kidnap her," Sophia explained immediately after hearing the situation.

Upon seeing Fanny's pitiful appearance, Sophia found her annoying.

"She was pestering my boyfriend, and I just warned her a few times. I didn't harm her. She's just trying to slander me."

"Now, there's no evidence to prove it's you, Miss Martinez, so calm down," the police officer reassured her before continuing, "As for this young lady bothering your boyfriend, would you like us to help with that? Someone at the police station recognized Sophia as a daughter of the Martinez Family, so they were all polite to her.

On the other hand, Fanny was ignored.

Fanny was infuriated when she saw Sophia being complimented by everyone and not showing any signs of fear. She shouted, "Christopher is mine! The one who is bothering him is obviously you!" Sophia couldn't help but laugh at Fanny's anger. "Christopher and I are about to get engaged. Who do you think is really bothering him?"

Upon seeing Fanny's pale face, Sophia felt slightly relieved.

"It must be you who sent someone to kidnap me, but you won't admit it!" Learning that she couldn't argue with Sophia about Christopher, Fanny continued to point at her finger and said firmly. "Tsk, don't speak without evidence, or you'll bring trouble upon yourself." Sophia warned Fanny, then turned to the police and asked, "She's defaming me like this, can I sue her for defamation?"

"If the matter of her being kidnapped is really unrelated to you, then you can indeed pursue her for defamation."

Most importantly, Fanny made these accusations against Sophia in front of the police, so she couldn't just deny them.

Fanny was so enraged that her eyes turned red. The more fearless Sophia appeared, the more convinced she was that the latter was responsible..

"Can't you investigate her for me? She must have paid the kidnappers. Just investigate and you'll find out, right?"

This

"Go ahead and check, Sophia said indifferently. "And after you find out, Put her in custody for a few days. Because of her defamation against me, my mental health has been greatly harmed. She should be det Fanny was visibly panicked for a moment, but she quickly realized that this might just be Sophia's way of avoiding the police investigating her.

She became even more convinced it was Sophia.

The police quickly conducted their investigation, but the results were completely unexpected for Fanny.

"It's not her?" Fanny widened her eyes in disbelief. "How could it not be her?"

Sophia folded her arms across her chest and gloated, "I told you it wasn't me."

Upon seeing Fanny's dumbfounded expression, Sophia couldn't help but mock. "People like you, there are plenty who don't like you. Think about who else might want to harm you, instead of blindly accusing me here!"
