Chapter 312 1 Only See Her as a Sister Springgate Estates passed a peaceful afternoon.
Meanwhile, Fanny was incredibly busy. After arguing with Sophia in the coffee shop in the afternoon, she headed straight to the Sanders Family.
Fanny hailed a cab. She still had a noticeable slap mark on her face, and her clothes were equally disheveled, with coffee stains from the earlier incident.
But the thought of Sophiaâs distraught appearance made Fanny feel a sense of Although Sophia had initiated the conflict, it was Fanny who emerged victorious.
And she wasnât going to let Sophia win just this once.
tisfaction.
With a visible slap mark on her face, all she had to do was find Christopher and complain to him. Christopher would definitely not continue associating with Sophia.
As Fanny thought about how to handle Sophia when she arrived at the Sanders Family, she was unaware that the Sanders family was not at peace either.
Christopher followed Michael downstairs, where Michael sternly instructed him to apologize sincerely.
Although Christopher felt uncomfortable, he agreed earnestly.
When they saw Carles downstairs, Christopher politely greeted him and then sincerely apologized.
âMr. Martinez, this matter is my fault. I didnât consider Sophiaâs feelings.â
âOf course. Itâs your fault. What do you mean you didnât consider Sophiaâs feelings? It seems to me like you didnât even have Sophia in your eyes.â Carlosâ anger hadnât subsided, and he reprimanded Christopher sternly.
Christopher hurriedly continued to apologize and soothe him.
Carlos held up a photo and demanded an explanation.
Christopher quickly recounted what had happened that day, not leaving out any details.
However, he referred to Fanny as someone who was like a sister to him rather than emphasizing any romantic involvement.
1/4 âI really only see her as a sister now,â Christopher affirmed. âMr. Martinez, you can check the surveillance footage from that day. I left the hotel room shortly after escorting Fanny there.â
He hadnât stayed long in Fannyâs hotel room that day because her mood was very low, and he had comforted her briefly before leaving.
Reflecting on the incident, Christopher felt a sense of relief that he had departed early. Otherwise, things might have been unclear.
Mainly, he didnât want Fannyâs reputation to be tarnished.
âThat night, I went to see Fanny because her mother had become vegetative, and she was too distraught to go home. She asked me to go out to ask for help finding a doctor,â Christopher explained.
Carlos listened to Christopherâs explanation with suspicion.
He could see his daughterâs fondness for Christopher. But even if Sophia liked him, he wouldnât let her marry Christopher if he was involved with someone else.
However, if the situation was as Christopher described, he could reluctantly allow Christopher to make amends and then smooth things over.
âAre you telling the truth? Iâll have someone check right now.â It was simple and quick to check the surveillance footage since they knew which hotel it was.
Upon hearing Carlosâ words, Christopher breathed a sigh of relief and quickly assured him before sending someone to check the surveillance.
Soon, the surveillance footage confirmed Christopherâs account. He had left the hotel room. less than two minutes after escorting Fanny in.
Seeing the situation casing somewhat, Michael hurriedly said, âNow that everything is clear. The marriage alliance canât just be abandoned. Many people in Riverdon know about our two familiesâ affairs. Mr. Martinez, do you agree?â
After some thought, Carlos said, âSophia likes you. Donât let her down.â
Christopher quickly agreed.
Carlos continued, âEven if you see Fanny as a sister now, we donât want to speculate about her intentions. Can you do one thing? Cut off contact with that Fanny.â
Christopherâs expression changed, and he was about to refuse when Michael suddenly said, âMr. Martinez, what are you saying?
Even if you donât mention this matter, we will still make 2/4 Chapter 312 I Only See Her as a siste him cut off contact with Fanny.â
Seeing Carlosâ expression improve slightly, Michael signaled Teresa, who was beside him.
Teresa quickly grasped his signal and spoke gently, âIn fact, Christopher had already cut ties with that woman. It was she who kept pestering Christopher. Christopher has always been a kind child. When he heard about her motherâs accident, he immediately wanted to help, but he was deceived by Fanny.â
Teresa had always been dissatisfied with Fanny and didnât hold back in narrating how she had been entangling Christopher.
After listening to Teresaâs words, Carlos looked at Christopher and asked him to promise.
Michael and Teresa fixed their gaze on Christopher, who reluctantly gave his word of assurance.
âI promise. I will never contact Fanny again.â
In his heart, he thought that he would never be caught again.
Carlos felt much more satisfied now and thought about his daughter still being heartbroken at home. He said, âYou, come back with me to the Martinez Family and comfort Sophia properly. Since she is in a relationship with you, you should take care of her and treat her well. She has been crying all day at home, and you didnât even show up.â
Christopher didnât want to go. But in the end, he agreed and said, âMr. Martinez, wait for me. Iâll go change clothes.â
He had to go and comfort someone. He couldnât just go casually.
Carlos agreed and felt stifled inside the house. He went to the yard to wait.
He tried calling Sophia to inform her to be prepared at home to welcome him.
But the call wouldnât go through.
As he was about to try again, he caught sight of a figure outside the Sanders Family gate, peering inside.
The person outside the gate was none other than Fanny, who had just arrived in a cab.
Fanny was solely focused on finding Christopher at the Sanders Family residence to vent her grievances and seek sympathy.
Still, she didnât expect to encounter Carlos as she knocked on the door, preparing to leave.
3/4 She didnât recognize Carlos and thought he was a member of the Sanders Family. As soon as she saw him, she started pleading. âCan you help me call Christopher?â
As Fanny spoke, she covered half of her face with her hand and pitifully hung her head.
Carlos didnât immediately recognize her as the person in the photo. He spoke to her calmly. âChristopher is changing clothes. He is about to leave. Do you need to speak with him?â
Upon hearing that Christopher was about to leave, Fanny panicked and hastily said, âI urgently need to speak with him. Can you please relay a message for me?â
She was too anxious when she spoke and didnât continue covering her face. Carlos saw her face clearly.
Carlosâ expression immediately changed.
âAre you Fanny?â
The person they had just been discussing had unexpectedly shown up at their doorstep, and she seemed quite familiar with the place.
Fanny appeared puzzled and nodded.
âIâll go call him. You wait here,â Carlos said and went straight into the house.
However, he didnât go to call Christopher. Instead, he informed the Sanders Family that he was leaving early, then discreetly retreated to a corner of the yard while no one was paying attention
