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." 1
Fiona gave her a gentle smile. "Don’t flatter me. Everything that happened between you and Joshua is i n 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."
