Selena did not tell Fiona about what happened that day-the kidnap and the hitman-to save Fiona some worries.
Hence, she secretly took her call out to her yard after dinner.
Unexpectedly, Fiona had actually followed her out to the yard and heard everything she said on the call.
"Mum, it's nothing. Aren't we home safe and sound now?" Selena awkwardly smiled. She did not look well, though.
Filled with anger, Fiona reprimanded, "Back? Do you have any idea how dangerous that was? That damn Fane... If it wasn’t for him causing troubles, would anyone hire a hitman to kill him?"
She then turned toward the house and yelled, "Fane, you bastard! Get out here this instance!"
"Mum, what's the matter?" Fane asked with a smile as he paced toward them.
"What’s the matter? Heh... I heard you ran into a hitman today, she even kidnapped and disguised as m y daughter? You have no idea what you got yourself into, aye? That’s a killer you were dealing with, what if she killed my daughter? This is all your fault. You’ve been going around causing troubles! My daughter wouldn't have to deal with this if it wasn't for you!"
Fiona blasted at the sight of Fane. She continued," Hmph, don’t think that twenty million you gave me can buy your way out of this. I'm warning you, don't let this happen again. Even though I take you as my son-i n-law now, I'll make my daughter divorce you if it ever happens again!"
Embarrassed, Fane smiled bitterly as he replied," Mum, no one could have seen that coming. I wouldn't know the hitman would disguise herself and get Selena involved, this is my bad. I have to say, I didn't cause trouble. But if someone had come to pick a fight, I couldn't let it slide either.
"If... I'm just giving an example here. If a mad person had come to you with a knife and wanted to kill you... Now, you didn't provoke this man, would you retaliate?"
