The more people that pointed their fingers at Fiona, the more overwhelmed she got. She was so enraged that she needed to take a few deep breaths to regulate her blood pressure. How she wished in that moment she could strangle Janet to death!

Thankfully, she managed to hold herself back. She racked her brains for a way to redeem her reputation, but found that she couldn’t refute Ethan’s statement at all.

There was no way she could admit to the dirty things she had done. Her only choice was to retreat.

Seeing that her mother was nearing defeat, Jocelyn was furious. She opened her mouth to give Janet an earful, but was interrupted by Fiona.
