Chapter 337 Another Scheming Woman

 Fiona gritted her teeth and red at Milly. Her eyes were burning with anger.

 She had been so focused on cosying up to Jordan that she hadn’t noticed anyone else around. But now, hearingughter, she realised that the shameless girl she had shed with earlier was still sitting on the

 sofa!

 Has this b*tch witnessed my embarrassing moment?Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.

 Enraged, Fiona no longer cared about maintaining her image. She red fiercely at Milly and questioned, “Why are you still sitting here?”

 After carefully putting away the ind purchase contract Jordan had given her, Milly looked up at Fiona. She calmly replied, “Because this is the only ce with a couch. Isn’t that what couches are for? Why shouldn’t I sit here?”

 Milly was stating a simple fact. This was a big house, but it was the only spot in the living room with a sofa. The other areas only had chairs.

 However, Fiona heard it differently. Especially since Milly was sitting so close to her dream man. Obviously, she was trying to seduce Jordan.

 “Don’t you have any manners? This is Jordan’s house. If he didn’t invite you to sit, sitting without his permission shows you have no manners!” Fiona spat venomously.

 The atmosphere instantly became tense at Fiona’s usation.

 Moments ago, Anthony and Jonathan had been enjoying the show. Fiona’s outburst quickly soured their moods and their expression turned glum. Who did Fiona think she is, insulting our sister right in front of us?

 Fiona was lost in her self–righteous anger. She didn’t notice their change in demeanour and continued, “Mr. Jordan is just too polite to tell you off. Do you really think you own the ce?”

 Milly chuckled softly and said, “Even if Ick manners, it’s not your ce to say so, right? Aren’t you overstepping? Who do you think you are?”

 Fiona clenched her teeth. She was shocked at the audacity of Milly’s retort. Her expression turned ashen with rage and she confronted, “Don’t get cocky! You’re just lucky that everyone here is too gracious to call you out on your behaviour!”

 Milly raised an eyebrow and asked, “Oh! Really?”

 She nced at her brothers sitting on the stools and asked, “Mr. Jonathan, Mr. Anthony, may I sit here?”

 Both of her siblings frowned at her formal address. They pursed their lips and felt slightly hurt, but they understood they couldn’t say much. They quickly nodded, almostically so. “Yes, yes, of course!”

 As far as they were concerned, their sister could sit wherever she pleased, even on their heads if she

 wanted!

 Even though Milly hadn’t asked Xavier, he knew he wasn’t worthy of being consulted by his sister. Nevertheless, he nodded along.

 given their approval. I think I can sit here now, don’t you?”

 “You wretch!”

 Fiona’s body trembled with fury,

 This sl*t!

 Fiona had initially dismissed Milly as a clueless country bumpkin. Now, she realised Milly was a cunning vixen who shamelessly seduced men.

 In such a short time, Milly had already made the Buts obedient to her every word.

 Stephanie is right. Milly is a real piece of work.

 Fine. If Milly wanted to y dirty, I could y that game. Let‘ see who could oust whom in this battle of wits.

 Fiona’s eyes flickered with a hint of chilling malice, but it quickly disappeared. Her tone softened considerably as she spoke, “Milly, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean anything. I just didn’t want to trouble Mr. Jordan.

 “I was worried because you identally spilled water on the sofa. Luxury items like this need immediate care when they get wet; otherwise, their value will greatly diminish.”

 As she spoke, she suddenly paused, as if she had just remembered something. She hastily covered her mouth, her eyes widening in panic and her face full of feigned horror.

 “Oh, Milly, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to let that slip.”

 Milly was speechless.

 Now she understood why Fiona and Stephanie were friends; their lousy acting skills were identical!

 She imed it was an idental slip, but she said it all anyway–did she think covering her mouth afterwards made a difference?

 Fiona was undeterred by Milly’s silence. She remained immersed in her performance. Her tone now carried a note of urgency as she turned to Jordan, feigning deep remorse.

 “Jordan, don’t be upset at Milly. She didn’t spill the water on purpose. I’m sure it was an ident. It’s my fault for not warning her about being careful with such expensive furniture. After all, Milly is different than me; she might not recognise such luxurious items.”

 She carefully crafted her words to draw attention to Milly’s apparent ignorance while presenting herself as considerate and kind.

 Milly chuckled softly. Just moments ago, Jonathan joked about winning the Aureate Film Award, but he had a toughpetitor. Fiona was the real actress here.

 Still, Milly felt no need to exin herself further. She was curious to see how far Fiona would go with her

 act.

 Fiona, still with her head bowed and maintaining her innocent facade, seemed to sense Milly’s gaze. She looked up, a hint of gloating shing across her face, as if she were certain Milly would lose.

 Milly remained calm. She grinned a little but didn’t expose Fiona’s scheme right away.

 Jordan, who had been sitting on the opposite couch, abruptly spoke up. “Did you spill a cup of water?”

 His tone carried a hint of reproach.

 Milly had been confident just moments before. She quickly wilted under his scrutiny and answered, “It was warm water, not hot. It didn’t scare me.”

 Her voice slowly trailed off into a mumble.

 Milly could tell from his tone that Jordan was upset because she had almost hurt herself.

 Fiona interpreted this in a different way. She hadn’t heard Milly’s exnation clearly, but she saw Jordan’s displeasure. Her eyes lit up, a smug smile creeping onto her face, and she felt pleased with Milly’s

 misfortune.

 “Mr. Jordan, don’t be mad. I’m sure Milly knows she made a mistake. Why not let herpensate for it? This is a luxury item, one of a kind worldwide. She can’t rece it even if she pays.”

 That wretch is wearing an unbranded clothes likely from a street market, clearly <ies from a poor family. Even with some depreciation, this couch is still a luxury item. She couldn’t afford to pay for it, even if she sold a kidney!
