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.

“Calm down, Jocelyn.” Fiona shook her head. Then, she whispered into her daughter’s ear, “We’ve lost. It’ll be worse if we try to defend ourselves.”

Jocelyn wrinkled her nose with disdain. “Mom, I can’t stand her arrogance! When she still lived with us, she never fought back when we beat her or scolded her. That bitch deserves to be punished. Who does she think she is, anyway? She’s just a bitch who was abandoned by her biological parents!”

Fiona’s eyes went wide and her hand flew to cover Jocelyn’s mouth. They weren’t in the confines of their own home. If Jocelyn kept talking like this, things would just get worse.

“We’re leaving.”

They couldn’t stay here a second longer. Fiona shot Janet one last murderous glare before turning around to leave with Jocelyn and the timid Bernie.

As they stormed off, Fiona gritted her teeth angrily.
