Luna could not help sneering when she heard Fiona’s words.
She lifted her head to stare at Fiona, whose face was etched with helplessness and innocence. “How
understanding of you, Ms. Blake.“
Fiona gave her a gentle smile. “Don’t flatter me. Everything that happened between you and Joshua is in
the past now. I can’t possibly be jealous over something that happened before I met him, can I?
“I’m sure it’s the same for you. You wouldn’t get jealous over him and me, considering it’s already been
six years since you and Joshua split up, right?“
Luna felt a hint of contempt arise in her heart when she heard this. “You’re right.“
“What do you mean, she’s right?“ Marianne quickly grabbed onto Fiona’s arm and glared at Luna. “This
woman is clearly jealous of you and Mr. Lynch. She even tried to slander your name. She claimed this
dress that you bought for me is worth only five hundred dollars instead of fifty thousand! “
Marianne scoffed and continued, “I had a bad feeling about her from the start. They could afford to pay
me the fifty thousand dollars compensation, but she refused to do so and insisted on letting Mr. Lynch
settle this dispute, and I now know why. She’s jealous of you, Ms. Blake, so she did all this on purpose to
stir up trouble! Disgusting! “
Marianne thought that Fiona would stand on her side after hearing all this. However, to her surprise…
Fiona wriggled out of her grasp and instead hobbled over to Joshua’s side, right into his arms.
Joshua furrowed his brows but still caught her.
Fiona, still in Joshua’s arms, said in an impassive voice, ”Mrs. Collins, how can you say that about Ms.
Luna? She must have a reason for doing this.”
She swept her cold glance over Marianne’s clothes before continuing, ”I told you this dress was worth
five hundred dollars when I gifted it to you. How did it become fifty thousand?”
Marianne widened her eyes in shock. She was so stunned by this sudden turn of events that she did not
know what to reply. ”I… This dress… Ms. Blake… ” All of a sudden, she knew there was no way of
making anyone believe her anymore.
Shannon, who had been holding onto Luna all this while, rolled her eyes behind Fiona’s back and
murmured, ”What a two -faced b*tch.”
Luna pursed her lips but did not reply.
Zayne, who had been watching everything unfold in silence, immediately tried to salvage the situation. ”
Ms. Blake, does this mean that this dress you gifted to your servant is worth only five hundred dollars,
and she was just trying to scam us into paying fifty thousand dollars for it?”
Fiona let out a gasp and turned to look at Zayne. ” She asked for fifty thousand dollars?” She gave
Marianne a once-over and said, her face etched with confusion, ”Mrs. Collins called just now to tell me
that someone had spilled food all over her clothes and that they couldn’t be worn anymore…
“I couldn’t possibly go downstairs to settle this, so I asked Joshua to help me take care of this, but now
when I look at it…the stain isn’t too bad at all. The dress isn’t entirely ruined…“
Fiona shot Marianne an aggrieved glance. “How could you do this, Mrs. Collins? It’s just a few stains.
You shou1d’ve asked them to pay fifty dollars for the dry-cleaning fees. How dare you ask for fifty
thousand?“
She let out a sigh and said, “Fortunately, the people you had a run-in with were Ms. Luna and her
friends. Otherwise, if word got out that you were my servant, everyone would think that…I had spoiled
you so much that you tried to scam other people out of their money…“
Everyone in the hallway fell into silence upon hearing Fiona’s words.
Marianne glared at Fiona and was so furious that she could not even speak. “Ms. Blake, you…“
“Mrs. Collins, I’m very disappointed in you. “ Fiona sniffed, wiped her tears away, and said in a pained
voice, “You’ve been working for me for more than a year now, but why haven’t I noticed what kind of
person you are until now? Maybe it’s because I treated you too kindly, and you took it all for granted.
