Chapter 700

“T’ll offer you one last chance. Tell me, who ordered you to do this: striking the man’s head with a kick, causing the man to wail in pain.

” Leon pressed,

Fiona screamed, her body quaking with terror at Leon’s violence outburst.

“Leon, I’m terrified,” she whimpered, reaching out to tenderly grasp Leon’s arm.

“It’s just me who was drawn to her beauty. Even if you beat me to death, I can’t fabricate someone,” the man pleaded, his head touching the floor in a desperate bid for mercy.

Leon persisted with his questioning, while Fiona’s fear grew. She knew that if the man implicated Giovanni, she would be found out.

What should she do?

Panicked, she knew she had to act quickly. A sudden idea struck her, and she approached Millie with a feigned smile.

“I’m sorry, Millie. I arrived late. Did he hurt you? Do you need me to assist you with a bath?” she cooed, her voice dripping with insincerity as she reached for Millie’s hand.

Millie, recognizing the hypocrisy in Fiona’s actions, thought that she could easily win an award for her performance if she were an actress. She swiftly jerked her hand away from Fiona’s grasp. singly Disappointed

“Get away from me!” Millie yelled, her voice filled with loathing.

In that moment, her hatred for Fiona was so overpowering that she felt as if she were losing control.

How could anyone be so cruel? To plot and scheme to destroy her in such a vile manner? The very thought was incomprehensible.

This act was a perfect way to break a woman’s spirit.

“Why are you berating me when I’m only showing concern?” Fiona’s voice quivered, thick with feigned grief, as if she were on the verge of tears.

Millie’s lips twisted into a sneer. She saw through Fiona’s act, recognizing it as part of her wicked plot. “I have no use for your false kindness,” she retorted.

Fiona’s voice softened. “I understand that you feel wronged. It’s natural to be angry.

I won’t hold it against you.”

She reached out once more, attempting to grasp Millie’s hand, only to be shoved away.

The place where Fiona had touched her felt contaminated to Millie, and she was convinced that Fiona’s intention was to make her feel disgusted.

Seizing the moment, Fiona tumbled to the floor, wailing, “Why are you treating me like this? I truly care for you, and you’re being incredibly harsh. My knees were just treated with medication. How can you be so cruel?”

Her words stirred a memory in Leon of the moming incident when Millie had slapped Fiona.
