Chapter 1258
It was so quiet, one could hear a pin drop.
Even someone like Julian, who was accustomed to grand scenes, was thunderstruck by Oliver's words.
His eyes widened. His usual cold demeanor was absent; there was a hint of anger in his voice as he asked, "And
Fanny has no idea? She even regarded your family as benefactors?"
Oliver remained silent. Although summarizing the situation this way seemed a bit absurd, it was the truth-especially
when it came from someone else.
It made Oliver feel that the Channings, his own family, was heartless.
"We owe her a lot."
Julian couldn’t help but get angrier. "That's not the only thing! This is a fraud! There's a clear feud between Fanny
and your family!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was precisely what Oliver was afraid of. Judging by Julian's explosive reaction, he dreaded the consequences if
Fanny were to find out about everything.
"She's been asking a lot of questions lately," Oliver admitted. "If this continues, I'm not sure how to keep things
from her."
"Don't tell her," Julian said firmly. "If you don't want to lose her, bury this secret deep within you. From now on,
spend your life making it up to her and treating her well."
What else could they do?
Both of them had feelings for each other, especially Fanny.
"Back in the entertainment industry, she was a top-tier female star. Later, she lowered her value, accepting
numerous low-quality ads and television productions. Was it because you needed the money at the time?"
At that time, Oliver was already entangled in the family feud. The early stages of becoming the heir required
substantial financial support.
Julian had been was furious with Oliver for involving Diana in the Pabian family's affairs, and had taken direct
actions against the Channing family.
That caused the Channings' finances to suffer greatly, both internally and externally. During that time, the funds
they required to keep afloat were astronomical, and they couldn't even afford to spare the smallest expenses.
Furthermore, the income Fanny generated on her own through acting fees and endorsements was sufficient to
match the cash flow of an entire company.
The reason she was willing to compromise her reputation to make money was probably connected to Oliver.
Oliver nodded. "Yes."
It was because of her actions that Oliver realized that Fanny's feelings for him were more than just sibling affection.
However, at that time, he still had lingering feelings for Diana. Despite marrying out of guilt, he had never fully
committed to the marriage during the first three years.
Everything changed when he met Diana again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon discovering this, Fanny requested a divorce. It was then that Oliver realized Fanny wasn't just a sister in his
heart, but a wife.
His true wife.
The one he loved.
His frustrations didn't escape his father Kenneth's notice.
The man had summoned Oliver and said, "I won't allow you to divorce Fanny!"
At first, Oliver thought his father was concerned about their family's reputation and didn't want Oliver's personal life
to tarnish their image.
However, the old man's next words pushed Oliver into a world of torment.
"You need to atone for me. Fanny likes you, and you have to treat her well! You must treat her well for the rest of
your life! N
Never had Oliver heard Kenneth talk about Fanny with such intensity. The old man's aged face was trembling so
violently. His mouth opened and closed like a dying fish, and even breathing seemed difficult.
Oliver was terrified. He quickly called for a doctor.
Over the past few years, Kenneth's health had been deteriorating.
