Her mother’s reasoning was simple now that the Fitzgeralds had epted her as their family, their
loyalties would naturally lie with her. That was an undeniable truth. And the most crucial part of her n
was to capture Frederick’s heart.
Firstly, with the endorsement of her newfound status as a Fitzgeraldr, she was surely a match for
Freddie. Secondly, Freddie, considering the Fitzgeralds’ reputation, would likely invest more effort in
courting her.
With this, she would firmly grasp Freddie’s heart!
And then, Yuna would reign as Stonebridge City’s most sought-after socialite, wielding influence like a
queen.
That’s why Yuna had used the excuse of worrying about Manley and Hayes to convince Hackett that
she needed to return to the Winston Mansion. Though Hackett had just reimed his daughter and
was loath to let her go, he was also inclined to indulge her, so without much thinking, he had agreed to
send Yuna back.
Triumphant, Yuna hugged Manley a little closer to her chest, her eyes gleaming wickedly. She knew
that from now on, she would be one of Stonebridge. City’s elite.
With the Fitzgeralds backing her, it wouldn’t be long before she trampled Marguerite Lockwood
underfoot and monopolized Freddie’s affection.
But she wouldn’t im Marguerite’s life just yet. Now that she had everything Marguerite could only
dream of, she wanted to savor her rival’s torment.
Yuna’s era was finally dawning!
The next day at Poppy Petal Fragrances.
When Marguerite hadst left the office, there had been the unexpected matter of Hayes needing blood
work, and she had hastily taken a week off to care for him.
As a result, she hadn’t been to the office in a week, and she had lots of work to deal with.
She hustled out of the elevator, rushing toward her office
However, her office was on a split-level floor, and to reach her ss-encased office, she had to walk
past many of her colleagues’ workstations.
The moment she appeared, she sensed the atmosphere shift eerily
Every employee shot her puzzled nces, some even gasping in shock as if she wasn’t supposed to
be there at all.
What was going on?
Marguerite was hesitating when Linda from the design department suddenly stood up, blocking her
path with her body.
Linda tilted her chin up haughtily, looking down at Marguerite with disdain in her voice, “Well, well, if it
isn’t Manager Marguerite? Oh, I mean, the former manager Marguerite! What brings you here? Didn’t
you get the memo that you’ve been fired?”
Marguerite was taken aback but maintained herposure, “What are you talking about?”
Linda sneered, “Marguerite, you got fired, so drop the act. Riding on your looks and the resemnce to
President Penelope’s daughter, did you really see yourself as a highborndy? Heh, do you even
believe in your own abilities or are you that clueless? Sorry to break it to you, but your position has
been taken over by the rightful owner. Better pack your stuff and scram
Linda had always been irked by Marguerite!
Before Marguerite’s arrival, the top spot in the design department had been vacant.
As a senior designer, Linda had enjoyed a status just shy of the top. But when Marguerite swooped in
and imed the vacant position, bing the head of the department, it threw Linda off bnce!
Why should an unqualified womannd in management out of the blue?
Everyone had thought she was Penelope’s daughter, but it seemed that was a ruse!
Now that the charade was over, Linda wasn’t afraid of her at all!
Marguerite, however, didn’t give Linda a second nce, calmly pondering the words she had just
heard.
Fired? The rightful owner?
A sense of urgency gripped Marguerite, and she sidestepped Linda, hurrying towards her office.
And indeed! There sat Yuna, in the swivel chair with her legs crossed atop the desk, looking down upon
her with a triumphant smirk.
