Chapter 409 Deserves a Scolding Chapter 409 Deserves a Scolding “Mr. Sanders, our lady would like to see you.” The newcomer spoke politely and in a harsh tone.
5 Free Coins Christopher and Fanny looked up from their seats and saw a burly man in a black suit standing in front of them..
Fanny stole a quick glance at him before redirecting her attention to Christopher. After all, the burly man was there for Christopher's sake.
He blinked in surprise as he recognized the somewhat familiar face, and a nagging suspicion began to take root in his mind.
“Mr. Sanders..." Not giving the man a chance to go on, Christopher quickly interrupted, “Wait here. I'll be right back after | have a few words.” He smiled warmly at the man before escorting Fanny into Scarlet's ward.
“Chris? Who is he?" she asked.
Christopher shook his head. “Fanny, he’s not someone you want to mess. with. Just wait here for me. I'll go talk to him.” Fanny wanted to probe further, but Christopher didn’t dare delay much longer and exited the ward promptly.
After the burly man outside the ward watched him leave the ward, he headed straight for the exit.
On the way, Christopher couldn't resist probing, “Excuse me, may | know why your Miss wants to meet with me?” 1/6 Chapter 409 Deserves a Scolding Florence had taught him a hard lesson, and just the thought of her made his face ache, and his body hurt, much less have the nerve to ignore her summons.
Christopher found Florence far more intimidating than Jane. While Jane limited herself to harmless pranks, Florence went to extremes by having her subordinates physically assault him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFurthermore, when he had been beaten up previously, he had to be rescued by Jonathan. After that, not only was he scolded by Jonathan, but he was also reprimanded by Michael, making him even more fearful of the terror that was Florence.
“Why do you ask so many questions?” The bodyguard impatiently shot a look at Christopher.
With just one glance, he instinctively held back from further inquiry and maintained a respectful silence instead.
Florence's car awaited outside the hospital, and Christopher trailed behind the bodyguard until he was shoved into the passenger seat. It was only then that he noticed Florence seated beside him.
“H-Hello, Miss Shelton. Is there something you need from me?” He felt nervous but swiftly plastered on a welcoming smile to show he was happy to help.
Florence shot him a disdainful glance, clearly unimpressed. Moreover, there was something she just couldn't comprehend.
According to the information her subordinates had gathered, Christopher and Jonathan shared the same father, so how could they be so different? Christopher felt ashamed under her scornful gaze, yet he suppressed any impulse to retaliate or voice his frustration. Instead, he forced a placating smile and endured scrutiny, hoping to appease her displeasure. As he smiled, he comforted himself inwardly, telling himself that there were 2/6 Chapter 409 Deserves a Scolding times when one had to bow down to others.
Just as he settled in, the car’s motor ignited and drove off.
Startled, Christopher asked, “Miss Shelton, where are we going?” Although Florence's men didn’t make a move against him that day, he remained cautious and was unwilling to take any unnecessary risks.
Cos “To find Jonathan,” Florence uttered lazily. She cast a fleeting glance in his direction before quickly averting her eyes as if repulsed by some unseen filth.
Upon receiving her reply, Christopher was taken aback. He never expected Florence to seek him out just to look for Jonathan! Why did she need to see him, and what did it have to do with him? Just as he was puzzled, Florence reached out to him. “Give me your phone.” Hearing that, Christopher frantically patted his pockets, only to realize that his phone was nowhere to be found. Instantly, a wave of panic washed over him.
“Um, Miss Shelton, I think | might've dropped my phone in the ward. Can | go back and get it?” He thought for a moment, unsure where he could've left his phone. When Scarlet was causing all that commotion earlier, not only was she scratching and clawing at him, but he was also struggling to restrain her. He must have dropped his phone at that moment! Florence frowned. “Dropped?” Christopher nodded quickly. “Miss Shelton, I'll be right back immediately after | retrieve my phone.” 3/6 | W 1941 Chapter 409 Deserves a Scoldings “No need,” Florence glared at him. She instructed the driver to hand her his phone before thrusting it into Christopher's hands.
“Use this to make the call.” Christopher took the phone that was handed to him, but he was puzzled by her instructions.
Florence's tone was icy and impatient as she commanded, “Get Jonathan on the line.” Hearing that, Christopher was taken aback. “What?” He hadn't expected that Florence would come to him because of Jonathan. However, he was still concerned about his phone.
His phone wasn't the problem; the main issue was the person trying to reach him. If Jane were to call and he didn’t pick up, it would undoubtedly stir up even more trouble. Yet, he didn’t want to upset Florence either. At the sight of her displeased expression, he didn’t dare to continue bringing up his phone.
“Miss Shelton, | can't recall Jonathan's number,” Christopher mumbled, his voice fading towards the end. “But | have his number saved in my phone, So...” Florence shot him a scornful glance. If she hadn't done business with Christopher that day, she would have already instructed her men to handle him. This guy truly deserves a scolding, she thought internally.
Christopher's face turned pale, and his legs went weak with fear, but he managed to compose himself, thinking that Florence would allow him to retrieve his phone after his explanation. He couldn’t continue leaving his phone with Scarlet. Yet, he was disappointed once more.
Florence retrieved her phone and dialled Jonathan's number by reciting it. It matched the one her men had uncovered. Hence, confirming it was indeed the contact number for Jonathan's office.

“Hurry and call your brother. Tell him to come out.”
Christopher did not want to push her patience further, so he quickly dilled the number she had recited. The call was! pic ed up, but it wasn't Jonathan who answered. “Hello?” came Spencer's voice as he handled the documents.
Christopher felt his anxious heart stop racing at his voice. “I'm looking for Jonathan.” In a swift moment of realization, he discerned that the voice on the other end didn’t belong to Jonathan, and this knowledge gave him a boost of confidence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Florence's expression soured.
“Are you Christopher?” he inquired, his tone carrying a hint of suspicion.
Once Christopher confirmed his identity, Spencer's voice turned frosty. He coldly informed him that Jonathan was unavailable and hung up mercilessly.
As Christopher listened to the dial tone, a shiver crept down his spine.
Florence took his phone, redialed it, and then passed it to the bodyguard in front.You speak this time.She instructed her voice tinged with authority. The bodyguard dutifully answered the call and asked to speak to Jonathan, only to receive the same response.
After hanging up, Spencer reached out to Jonathan, who was puzzled by 5/6 192% 10:44 Chapter 400 Deserves a Scolding the situation. Shortly afterwards, Angela and Jonathan, who were on their way to the company, arrived.
“The number called a few more times, but it wasn’t Christopher.” Spencer briefed Jonathan on the situation.
Jonathan nodded and appeared unfazed by the news.
Spencer didn’t dwell on the matter and redirected his attention to work. “There's a stack of files waiting for you. Shall we get started?” Jonathan glanced at Angela and was ready to decline, but she gently guided him to his chair.
“Go and work.” She didn’t mean to pressure Jonathan into working, but Spencers pleading eyes were too heartbreaking to resist.
“Okay, just give me a moment,” Jonathan replied before diving back into his work without delay.
“Okay.” Angela nodded.
Occasionally, Jonathan would sneak glances in her direction while Spencer kept darting in and out of the office discussing confidential company affairs. It became clear that lingering inside wasn't the most suitable option for her anymore.
