Chapter 458 Joseph Cannot Be Bailed Out
James didn’t bat an eye when he learned that Fanny had steered clear of trouble. After catching sight of Fanny, Scarlet made a point to ensure everything was alright with him. Fanny had come back and mentioned that school was out for the day.
“Oh, and hey, your sister went to bail someone out this morning. The guy noticed James” distraction and gestured to the papers in his hand. “I did a little digging for you. Take a look.”

James kept skimming through and stumbled upon the profile of a guy named Kaydron.
When he saw the unfamiliar name, James couldn’t help but knit his brows, but he chose not to probe further.
“Don’t you even wonder a bit?”
James scrunched his brow. “Fanny’s got her own stuff going on. Even though I’m her brother, I can’t stick my nose into everything.”
Upon hearing his response, the guy didn’t push further and just got up to leave.
James hurriedly stopped him. “Hey, Mr. Zuckerberg. I need your hand with something.”
“You can just call me by my first name, Hugh said, his face tense.
James sensed the gravity of the situation and opted for a direct approach. “Hugh.”
Reluctantly, Hugh nodded and showed no rush to leave. He inquired about James‘ request.
“Keep an eye on my Zacharias. If he tries, anything shady with the hospital, give me a heads- up, James instructed him plainly.
James didn’t beat around the bush and laid out his request.
Having Hugh monitor Zacharias would save James a great deal of trouble.
Hugh agreed with a nod and replied promptly. “Sure, I’ll keep tabs on him.”
With that settled, he stood up and left.
This time, James didn’t try to stop him.
As the room fell silent with only one person left, James reviewed Fanny’s recent activities.
Afterward, he reached out to Scarlet. Upon discovering they were all heading home together, he swiftly agreed to join them later that evening.

But before making his way home, he had to get in touch with Angela.
After all, his primary reason for being in Northland this time was for Joseph..
If only Joseph could safely emerge, their family could finally return to Riverdon together.
It would be a relief if Angela could commit to continuing treatment for Zac. Perhaps then, Zac won’t be consumed with thoughts of donating a kidney to Fanny all the time.
James would spare no effort in replaceing a source for a kidney.
Around noon, he called Angela again.
This time, Angela didn’t disregard the call as before.
“Who’s calling?” Her voice came through, tinged with laziness and nonchalance.
James took a moment to collect himself before speaking up, “It’s me.”
“Hmm? Who?” Angela already knew the answer but decided to play dumb.
James felt frustrated and replied, “It’s me, James.”
Sensing his discomfort, she felt a pang of satisfaction and asked, “What’s on your mind?”
“I need to talk to you about Joseph,” James said flatly, struggling to replace the right words.
He had never approached her with a tone of request before, so he found it difficult to express himself naturally.
With a chuckle, Angela replied, “I’m a bit busy right now.”
James felt his anger rising at her laughter, and her cold rejection only fueled it further, causing his expression to darken.
“I won’t take up much of your time. I just need you to listen and consider giving Joseph a chance to be bailed out,” he hurriedly pleaded and feared that she might hang up on him again.
When he dropped that bombshell, it really threw Angela for a loop.
“Well, if Joseph can’t be bailed out, that’s not my problem,” she quipped.
She couldn’t help but wonder why he kept calling her incessantly.
Turns out, Joseph is stuck behind bars.But why does this whole situation seem so familiar? Had Joseph rubbed someone the wrong way?

James‘ tone was already dripping with bitterness. “Angela, why are you playing dumb? If it’s not your doing, then it must be Jonathan, right?”
Angela was utterly speechless. “It wasn’t me, and Jonathan wouldn’t stoop to that level. Use your head. Joseph probably crossed someone else!”
She couldn’t shake the feeling that the Kins Family had lost their marbles. Why else would they keep pointing fingers at her?
After venting her frustration, she didn’t feel like going back and forth with James anymore, so she simply ended the call.
As the dial tone hummed in his ear, James‘ face twisted with a mix of emotions.
Angela said she wasn’t the one preventing Joseph from getting bail. James couldn’t fathom who else could be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he made a beeline for the police station. His mind was racing with a question. Did Joseph rub someone else the wrong way?
Northland Medical University cafeteria.
Angela’s friends couldn’t help but notice the change in her demeanor after she hung up Othe phone.
“Angela, who was that?” Yoanna’s curiosity piqued.
“Who would dare to mess with you? Do you need us to step in?” Mobius‘ eagerness to help was palpable.
“It’s nothing, really,” Angela assured them, but her friends‘ excited expressions made her hesitate.
Yaxley, seated beside her, offered his support. “Angela can handle it on her own. You guys don’t need to worry.”
Angela nodded, appreciating his vote of confidence.
But before she could fully nod, she heard him say, “Kaydron has been released by someone, Angela. You should be careful.”
Angela was taken aback when Yaxley suddenly warned her to watch out for Kaydron. She asked, “How did you know he’s out?”
Given that Yaxley hadn’t shown up at school yesterday, it seemed unlikely he would be aware

of Kaydron’s situation.
But then again, Mobius might have filled him in.
She glanced at Mobius‘ surprised expression and heard him say, “Seriously, Yaxley? Kaydron’s out? I haven’t heard a thing about it.”
As he spoke, he checked his phone.
Yaxley nodded, “Yeah, he got released on bail at ten this morning, not too long ago.”
Mobius was surprised once more, “No way? And you knew about this?”
Knowing the exact time someone was released on bail, could Yaxley have someone in the police station?
But then again, Yaxley didn’t strike her as the type.
In response to Mobius‘ surprise, Yaxley calmly stated, “I had someone keeping tabs on Fanny before.
“Huh?” Mobius struggled to grasp the connection, wondering why Yaxley suddenly brought up Fanny.
He looked at Yaxley, awaiting clarification, but the latter merely gave him a lazy glance, as if expecting him to figure out a straightforward truth on his own.
Mobius not only failed to comprehend but also scratched his head in confusion.
Just as he was about to ask for clarification, Yoanna smacked his head and said, “Did you forget seeing Kaydron with someone at the movies before?”
Mobius suddenly pieced it together.
Right, back then, Kaydron was seen with Fanny.
