Chapter 487 Freedom

James replied, “You and Joseph go back first.”

He needed assistance to do as he pleased, having vowed to aid Florence. But the rest of the Kins Family should not stay in the unstable town of Northland.

Florence would not have made problems for the other Kins Family members if he had stayed to help her deal with Angela.

“James, aren’t you coming back with us?” his sister worriedly inquired. after learning that James planned to stay.

Assuring Fanny, James said, “I still have some matters to attend to.”

After a moment of silence, she said, “Alright.”

Fanny sensed why James would want to stay, but she did not ask any more ‘questions. She was unable to control the little aching that shot through her body at the mere idea of Florence. She could not get rid of the want to cut all connections with Florence because of her true

dread of her.

“James.” A feeble Fanny inquired, “Are you feeling a little off?”

She worried that he had been harmed by Florence’s accomplices after hearing a hint of vulnerability in his voice. Florence frequently ordered her goons to torture and inflict agony on victims while they were conversing. She shuddered to think about this.

James said, “No,” noticing that his voice sounded tired.

Her concerns were further heightened by the weak tone and rough voice. James saw that Fanny was reluctant to carry on the talk, so he politely suggested that she end the call early and go home. Hugh was still nowhere to be seen, so James leaned against the wall of the club’s hallway and waited, squinting through his pain.

Hugh hurried forward, startled at James’s sight, as soon as he arrived.

James weakened and said, “Take me home. We’ll discuss there.

“Is this how you have to go home? Do you require hospitalization?” Hugh enquired.

“This is not how I can go home. James answered, “Take me to your apartment.

He was assisted into the car by Hugh, who then placed him in the back seat.

Hugh,helped him into the car and had him lie in the back seat.

James’s phone rang while he was lying down. Reaching for it, Hugh inquired whether he should respond on his behalf. James said that he would.

Over the phone, Scarlet’s voice sounded joyful.

“James, James! Joseph has left. At last, Joseph is free!”

“Didn’t expect it to be so soon,” mumbled James.

Florence had previously freed Joseph when he struck a bargain with her. It was really efficient. But he later changed his mind.

If Miss Florence Shelton is not efficient, then nothing would be efficient at all

James sighed softly into the phone, but Scarlet did not hear him. She did not stop talking.

James, are you able to return home right now? Together, I would like us to take up Joseph.”

The idea of Joseph being stuck indoors for a few days hurt Scarlet’s heart. She was worried, but she clung to the notion that Joseph would soon be freed–possibly because of James‘ involvement. Scarlet wanted to see Joseph sooner, even though she understood that James may have gotten the news before her and might already be on his way to get him. She hurriedly begged James to come back and join her by Joseph’s side.

Scarlet’s thoughts was so consumed by her numerous issues that she forgot about her usual sense of style and wore ratty clothes instead of what was appropriate. She did not know how important it was to present herself nicely for Joseph until she saw her reflection in the mirror, fearing that he would feel bad about her messy look.

The back seat of the automobile felt strangely small with just James filling it when Hugh gave him the cell phone. James was lying there with his knees crossed in the back seat. James took a quick look at the phone that Hugh had handed over, but he only shook his head slowly, not answering.

James knew exactly what ailed him. Scarlet could tell something was amiss the moment he spoke because his voice sounded strange. Scarlet, being his mother, would undoubtedly notice it more than Fanny had, after all.

O

He did not return home to avoid worrying Scarlet. What was the

purpose of traveling to Hugh’s residence if he talked now? Hugh knew what he meant when he shook his head.

After giving the phone back to Scarlet, he said, “Mrs. Collier, this is Hugh, James‘ friend,” in a cool, collected manner. We’ve already met

once.”

Scarlet was someone Hugh had met once. He would only met Scarlet once, but he knew a lot about the Kins Family, so he was still polite to her even in this awkward position. Scarlet might need to remember Hugh, even if she had only met him once. Scarlet was immediately taken aback and realized that she had forgotten.

“Hugh?” After pausing for a while, Scarlet stated, “I seem to be remembering that you are James‘ buddy. Is James now with you?

In response, Hugh said, “Yeah, James is here with me. He is occupied with various current issues.”

Scarlet informed Hugh she would pick up Joseph after realizing that James was busy and did not want to disturb him. She then hung off. After giving James his phone back, Hugh got in his car and drove off.

However, Scarlet meets Fanny just as she is ready to depart after hanging up the phone.

“You’re back, Fanny! Joseph is now free. Come with me as we go get. him and take him home!” It seemed as though Scarlet had found the companion she had been missing when she saw Fanny.

After all, she had anticipated that James would give her a ride when she first heard that Joseph had been freed and had assumed that

James would pick him up.

But James was not acting right..

She even had a nagging suspicion that Joseph was connected to James‘ recent problem.
