Chapter 535
The retort struck Yuna like a slap across the face. Her excited expression froze mid-cheer, mouth hanging open in disbelief, “What… what do you mean?”
Miley snickered, mercilessly tearing away the pretense, “You calling him ‘brother’ just made him queasy, didn’t you catch that? Yuna, don’t tell me you actually believed that slipping into the role of a heiress would make Robert respect you? You’re living in a fantasy! All those dirty little schemes you’ve been pulling – he’s seen them all! Nothing’s more revolting than having someone you despise suddenly become your sister.”
Yuna’s cheeks flushed a patchwork of anger and shame, wishing she could skin Miley alive.
But with Robert and Freddie there, she couldn’t lash out, not one bit!
Damn it! It was just too infuriating!
“The job openings at the company aren’t for you to decide! Don’t go causing trouble while mom’s not around. And don’t you forget, I’m still a part of the Fitzgerald family!”
Robert’s declaration was indisputable, yet it left Yuna utterly baffled, “What positions are available at the company? I wasn’t aware of any.”
Miley couldn’t care less about playing cat and mouse with Yuna. She, along with Mr. Winston and Robert, had come to put Marguerite in her place, not to waste time with this woman.
So, she simply pushed Marguerite towards Frederick, turning to Yuna, “Since when do you get a say in company positions? Whatever Marguerite wants, she gets. Isn’t that right, Mr. Winston?”
As she spoke, Miley didn’t miss the chance to give Frederick a meaningful wink.
Frederick gave her an annoyed glance, knowing full well that Miley and Robert didn’t summon him for anything trivial.
It seemed as though Marguerite had been bullied again, so they were seeking his strength to stand up for her! Despite everything, seeing her so defenseless and desolate did pull at his heart.
Where was that sharp-tongued firecracker he knew from before? This woman, it seemed, only had the guts to vent her frustrations at him.
Frederick thought to himself, subtly stepping closer, protectively positioning Marguerite behind him. Yet Yuna, glaring at Miley, was seething with rage.copy right hot novel pub
