A Film Queen

Chapter 336 Fiona Likes Jordan?

Jonathan leaned in. He was jealous of Jordan’s ability to capture his sister’s attention. He puffed his cheeks and said, “It’s just a lousy island. When I start making money from my films, I’ll buy you one twice as big!”

Milly just stared at him, speechless.

“Thanks, but no thanks,” she replied. “You make so many empty promises. I can’t handle another one.”

Jonathan fell silent, sulking.

The atmosphere was warming and cozy.

Fiona timidly approached them, nervously clutching her dress. Her eyes, fixed on Jordan, shimmered with hope. In a voice as sweet as honey, she said, “Jordan, Stephanie asked me to let you know she went outside to meet Grandpa Philip. She’ll be back shortly.”

She couldn’t be sure, but Fiona had the distinct impression that her arrival had changed the atmosphere. Just moments ago, Jordan seemed to be in a good mood, but now his expression has darkened.

Did I said something wrong?

Jordan took a sip of the tea and responded with a cold grunt. He didn’t even bother to look at Fiona.

Fiona stood there and felt rather awkward. Was that it?

She had gone to great lengths to prepare for this party, hiring renowned stylists and makeup artists to make her pretty. She had spent the entire day getting ready and almost arrived at the party late. And this was the result?

She felt a burning sense of injustice.

No, she couldn’t let it end like this.

Fiona bit her lip, summoning the perfect smile she had practiced countless times in front of the mirror. In a soft voice, she asked, “Jordan, do you remember me? We’ve met before. You remember, don’t you?”

Everyone, except for Jordan, turned to look at her curiously.
