Chapter 340 You Should Apologise to Anthony

Fiona, who had been crawling on the ground, had lost all her earlier arrogance and superiority. She no longer looked like the haughty rich girl she had been just moments before. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Anthony’s face was full of cold indifference. He disdainfully pulled his leg away from her grasp and said in a frosty voice, “The person you should apologise to isn’t me.”

Fiona’s eyes shifted to Milly, who was standing nearby.

Milly stood there with her arms crossed. With a condescending expression, she gazed down at Fiona. It was as if she were looking at an insignificant ant.

The poor and lowly person she had just despised now had the nerve to look at her with such a look in her

eyes.

Was she supposed to apologise to that b*tch?

No! Absolutely not!

Suddenly, Fiona’s eyes lit up as if she had thought of something. She quickly stood up and grabbed Anthony’s hand, placing it on her chest before he could react.

“Mr. Anthony, if you can forgive me, I’ll do anything you want. I’m innocent, and I can do it better than her. You–ah!”

Before she could finish her words, Anthony had already kicked her away.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one had time to react. Then, Anthony burst into loud, wailing cries. His cry was even louder and seemed more pitiful than Fiona’s.

“Waah! I had been sullied! Waah! I’m dirty! I’m no longer a joyful and innocent boy! Waah!”

He clutched his right hand and ran around the room in a frenzy. Clearly, he was genuinely upset. His eyes had turned red.

Finally, he approached Milly with tear–filled eyes, wailing miserably. Though he didn’t say a word, his sadness was palpable.

Milly had no words.

She sighed. Next, she took a wet wipe from the table and used it to wipe his hand. Then, she ruffled his hair gently and helplessly, much like she would comfort a younger child.

Poor kid! she thought.

Anthony’s crying only slightly subsided after his sister consoled him..

Fiona stood frozen and stared at Anthony in disbelief. Who was the one being sullied here? Why was his reaction so dramatic?

And was Anthony blind? She was clearly more beautiful and had a better figure than that of Milly. How could he reject her?

Just then, Philip’s cheerful laughter and Stephanie’s coquettish voice came from outside.

Fiona was lying motionless on the ground due to her pain. Her eyes lit up upon hearing Stephanie’s voice, as if seeing a lifeline.

Ignoring her pain, she frantically got up and ran towards Stephanie. She cried out, “Stephanic, please help me, Stephanie; you have to help me!”

Stephanie had just stepped through the door when Fiona, in a dishevelled state, ran into her.

Fiona seemed unaware of how miserable she looked, with her hair in disarray, makeup smeared from crying, and her clothes all wrinkled.

Although Stephanie didn’t show it, she subtly took a step back. She quietly glanced at her grandfather to ensure he wouldn’t think poorly of her for having such a friend.

Stephanie had worked hard to appease her grandfather earlier, and she wouldn’t let this incident ruin everything. If Fiona’s actions caused Philip to become angry, Stephanie would ensure the Junes were held accountable.

However, she couldn’t lose her temper just yet; she still needed Fiona for her plans.

Philip wasn’t angry and Stephanie finally relaxed. She turned to Fiona with concern and asked, “Fiona, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?”

Fiona had often spoken ill of Milly in front of Stephanie in a snide and sarcastic manner. If Fiona had any sense, she would understand the hint and follow Stephanie’s lead.

Otherwise, Stephanie wouldn’t mind getting rid of this pawn herself!

As expected, Fiona’s eyes reddened even more. Her voice trembled and she said, “Boo hoo, it’s Milly. She… she doesn’t like me! Boo hoo!”

Stephanie’s eyes lit up at her remarks.

Her view of Fiona improved slightly. At least she had some brains.

Claiming ignorance, Stephanie questioned, “Fiona, is there a misunderstanding? Milly is kind– hearted but has a bad temper sometimes. Did you two have a quarrel?”

Fiona sniffled. She felt a warmth in her heart when Stephanie showed concern for her. Mistaking it for support, she continued as if she had found her saviour.

She continued, “I accidentally knocked over her glass and spilled the drink on the sofa. She got mad and told me to compensate for the sofa, but, you know, my family can’t afford it. Boo hoo!”

Her words were cleverly crafted.

She made it sound like the entire issue was just a personal conflict between the two of them, without explaining the full context or taking responsibility, merely criticising and blaming.

Stephanie widened her eyes in feigned surprise. She sounded shocked and said, “That can’t be right. Milly rarely acts so overbearing. Is there some misunderstanding? Today is my coming–of–age party, and I hope everyone can be happy and not have any conflicts.”

Her words were subtle, suggesting that while Milly rarely acted out, it wasn’t impossible. This implied Milly could indeed be unreasonable to others.

This was precisely the effect Stephanie wanted to achieve.

Fiona cried out, “But your sofa is too expensive, and I can’t afford to pay for it. Furthermore, Milly has Anthony’s backing. I … sob, sob, what should I do, Stephanie?”

Stephanie pretended to be in a dilemma and bit her lip. She stammered, “Well …

She then turned to Philip and said in an earnest and worried manner, “Grandpa, Fiona is a good friend of mine. I invited her here for my party, and the stain on the sofa was an accident. Could you please talk to Milly not to bully her? I don’t want any more trouble, and Fiona’s family can’t afford to compensate us.”

Philip’s brows furrowed at her words. Then, he thumped his cane on the floor ferociously and chided, “This is getting out of hand!”

Though he didn’t mention any names, it was clear who he was referring to.
