Free Web NovelChapter 248: Chapter 248: Counting Money for the Person Who Sold You
"Yo, Fiona, isn’t this your dear sister?"
Hearing that arrogant and domineering female voice, Cecilia Vaughn’s heart sank slightly, and four words came to mind.
Enemies on a narrow road.
She didn’t turn around, just looked toward the large mirror in front of the washbasin. Sure enough, two charming faces quickly appeared in the mirror.
Fiona Vaughn was dressed in a light blue Burberry winter dress suit, with just a touch of light makeup and not even wearing lipstick. She looked much more haggard than a few days ago, which added a touch of pitiful frail beauty.
Meanwhile, Chloe Alden still had her old swaggering demeanor. Even though it was the dead of winter, she was still wearing thigh-high leather boots and a tight flaming-red leather jacket, which matched her flamboyant personality. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
...
Ever since the shareholders’ meeting, Fiona Vaughn was evidently not doing well. She remembered how Cecilia Vaughn became the head of Radiant Group, and a flash of hatred passed through her heart, but she quickly replaced it with a seemingly surprised and joyful smile.
"Sister, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here too!"
Chloe Alden disdainfully glanced at Cecilia Vaughn and quickly pulled Fiona over to her side.
"Fiona, haven’t you suffered enough harm from this woman and your parents? At such a young age, she even managed to kick her father off his position, truly unfilial!"
Cecilia Vaughn turned around coldly and indifferently, staring at Chloe Alden with much annoyance.
"Miss Alden, I legitimately inherited my grandfather’s estate. By your logic, in the future, you should recruit a live-in son-in-law and hand over your family’s wealth, letting your house-husband take a mistress to ruin your life."
"Cecilia Vaughn, you’re so venomous that you’d dare curse me!"
Chloe Alden was so angry her nostrils flared and her eyes went sideways, almost wanting to slap Cecilia, but she remembered Cecilia’s good combat skills and could only let out a hateful rant.
"Is that considered a curse? According to your logic, isn’t that what you think I should have done? Don’t impose on others what you don’t want yourself. It seems Miss Alden is a fake saintess..."
Cecilia smiled faintly without any emotion, and her gaze was like an ice blade, making Chloe Alden feel suddenly guilty.
"You... you woman, you twist words and reason."
Seeing Chloe Alden arguing with Cecilia Vaughn, implicitly pointing that she and her mother were mistresses, Fiona Vaughn’s eyes turned somewhat vicious.
But she hid it well, quickly putting on a peacemaker’s guise and biting her lip, her voice weak and innocent.
"Sister, are you in a bad mood today? I heard that Miss White, who was Tyson’s childhood sweetheart, has returned to the country..."
"I see your eyes are red, were you just crying?"
Fiona Vaughn’s words seemed caring, yet each one tore at Cecilia Vaughn’s wounds.
Chloe Alden’s eyes suddenly brightened, as if discovering a new world, she put her hands on her hips, looking disdainfully at Cecilia Vaughn.
"Yo, the wife of The Eldest Young Master Law and the new ruler of Radiant Group, hiding here to cry? It’s hilarious!"
"Some people always mock others as mistresses, do they really think they’re so noble and pure? Tsk, tsk, I heard that Miss Rosalind White was Tyson’s childhood sweetheart for over ten years, I really don’t know how a shabby shoe like you managed to climb the ranks."
Cecilia Vaughn’s voice was icy.
"Miss Alden’s firm words have caused much trouble for my reputation, since that’s the case, just wait for my defamation lawsuit."
"You—"
Defamation lawsuit?
"Cecilia Vaughn! Don’t think you can scare me! Ever since Rosalind White planned to return, it’s not just me who feels this way in Stellerton, why would you only sue me?!"
Hearing this, Chloe Alden’s face turned a bit pale with fear, and she instinctively moved closer to Fiona.
What a coward...
Fiona Vaughn looked at Chloe Alden with disgust, suppressing her impatience with this fool.
She held Chloe Alden’s hand, her eyes sincerely looking at Cecilia Vaughn.
"Sister, let’s not talk about Miss White. Did you know Tyson planned to come here too, actually... Tyson wants to see you."
Her delicate and weak appearance stirred a protective instinct in everyone.
And Chloe Alden, silently "reminded" this way, felt confident again in scolding Cecilia Vaughn.
"Yo, I just said, how could we randomly encounter a brazen woman like Cecilia Vaughn, turns out you were waiting for Tyson here!"
"Ha, you’re already married to The Eldest Young Master Law, and still want to seduce your husband’s younger brother? That’s truly disgusting!"
"Are you done talking?"
Cecilia Vaughn’s gaze swept coldly over Chloe Alden. She felt no sympathy for such fools who were so easily used by Fiona Vaughn, in fact, she felt they were cut from the same cloth.
This woman’s aura is getting stronger!
Chloe Alden shivered and fell silent immediately.
Only then did Cecilia Vaughn slowly scan Chloe and Fiona, speaking meaningfully.
"Fiona Vaughn, Chloe Alden, I don’t know what you two are thinking, but in this world, only flies like to follow that kind of waste, and I’m a normal person, not interested in such things."
"You, you’re the fly!—"
Chloe Alden’s face turned crimson red, and even the previously unconcerned Fiona Vaughn’s nails dug into her palms in anger.
Well, this little brat dared to compare Tyson to waste?
Does that make her the most despicable fly?
"Sister, I was just kindly asking if you wanted to see Tyson, how could you say such foul words, if Tyson knew, he would be heartbroken..."
Fiona’s delicate face looked so pitiful, she bit her lip, seemingly about to cry, making people uncontrollably want to take pity on her.
Unfortunately, Cecilia Vaughn wasn’t moved at all, having long been tired of these white lotus performances, unwilling to be the stepping stone that contrasted her supposed goodness any longer.
"I don’t have time to waste words with you two," Cecilia Vaughn impatiently glanced over Fiona, turning to coldly stare at Chloe Alden: "I recorded what you said earlier, you dared to defame my reputation, so wait for the court summons."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cecilia Vaughn raised the phone in her hand, showing a glaringly bright recording page.
It had been a full seven or eight minutes!
Clearly, everything the three of them said just now was recorded there.
Chloe Alden’s face turned white as a sheet.
"No, Cecilia Vaughn, you can’t do this to me, erase it immediately!..."
Cecilia Vaughn shrugged indifferently.
"It doesn’t matter if you delete it, my phone syncs to the cloud. Oh, by the way, a kind reminder to be smarter in the future, so you don’t end up being sold by Fiona Vaughn one day and still help her count the money."
"You’re lying! Fiona could never do such a thing to me..."
Chloe Alden was almost in tears, biting her lower lip to the point of almost bleeding, in the end, it was Fiona constantly comforting her.
...
Cecilia Vaughn had no interest in watching them pretend sisterly affection, just about to walk out, when she suddenly saw a tall figure at the corner of the hallway.
Her heart, suddenly ached.
