Chapter 681: Chapter 681



Half a month later, at an industry gala, Fannie attended with Selma, hoping to network with directors and producers.

During the event, a waiter approached her.

“Miss Cooper, there’s someone asking for you in the lounge.”

Fannie followed the waiter to the dimly lit lounge, where she found Katherine, visibly pregnant, comfortably nestled among cushions on a sofa.

“Hi, Fannie. About Bobby’s father’s situation, could you perhaps persuade your boyfriend to be lenient?”

Fannie’s response was firm and unmoving.

“Bobby must deal with the consequences of his actions.”

Katherine was pregnant, and Bobby’s friends had always treated Fannie with kindness. Yet, Fannie maintained a polite, measured tone as she replied, “Without a lesson, who knows how much further Bobby might go in his disrespect towards my boyfriend?”

Katherine sighed, her concern for Bobby evident. As a friend, she found it impossible to stand by and watch his family fall apart. “I’m truly sorry for his actions.”

Fannie raised an eyebrow, skeptical. “Your apologies are appreciated, but can you guarantee he won’t disturb my boyfriend and me again?”

Katherine hesitated before answering. “I can. But can you ask your boyfriend to show some leniency?”

Fannie’s response was firm and unwavering. “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do. This matter is between them. Your coming to me suggests you know Bobby has complicated things between my boyfriend and me. Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to influence this situation. You’ll need to find another solution.”

Katherine leaned forward, her voice softening as she appealed to Fannie’s past connection with Bobby. “Didn’t you and Bobby share some history? Although his personal life is indeed a mess, can’t you plead for him out of past affection?”

Fannie’s reply was concise and resolute. “Our past interactions don’t warrant any current obligations. He helped me once, and I settled that debt. There’s nothing left to reconsider.”

Katherine was taken aback by the firmness in Fannie’s voice. “So, you harbor no feelings for him anymore?”

Fannie clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, but her expression remained composed. “Absolutely not,” she responded quickly, her voice steady and unwavering.

“I understand,” Katherine murmured, her expression resigned. “I apologize for the imposition.”

“It’s fine,” Fannie replied, though her tone remained firm. “But I really can’t assist you with this.”

“I understand.”

Fannie stood up and left the lounge.

Left alone, Katherine placed a hand on her swollen belly before calling out, “You can leave now.”

The door to the second floor opened, and Bobby and Shawn stepped out one after the other.
