Fiona's gaze flitted towards Richard, her eyes betraying panic for the first time.

Richard looked at Fiona with disappointment. "Fiona, you should stay out of the company's affairs."

"Grandpa..."

Fiona could not believe it. In less than half an hour, the career she took pride in, which secured her a place in the prestigious Ellington family, had just vanished.

However, Richard could not be bothered with her and turned to encourage the rest of the guests to continue the festivities.

"Jasper, let me introduce you to my family," Vivienne said, guiding Jasper through the introductions to Dorian's family and Richard, among others.

After a brief moment of silence, the party resumed its lively atmosphere.

Fiona was left standing alone, ignored by everyone.

A server removed the set of original prototype jewelry she was so proud of under Percival's orders.

Watching Vivienne chat happily with Richard and Jasper, Fiona clenched her fist tightly.

"Vivienne, Percival, I swear I'll get my revenge! I'll kill both of you!" She yelled inwardly.

Suddenly, someone bumped her shoulder, and she found a note and a remote control device in her hand.

Fiona was stunned but opened the note to read, [Close the door, catch the dog.]

She scanned the room but could not find the person who had given the note to her.

Though she did not want to cause a scene at the party, she knew this was her chance.

Blinded by rage, she did not stop to consider why Vivienne and Percival's attitudes towards her had changed so suddenly. They used to get along so well.

Percival had always respected her as his cousin. But today, his gaze was indifferent, as if she were a stranger.
