Chapter 284

Sylvia never expected Fiona to suddenly lunge at her, causing her to lose her balance and crash onto the floor.

Her hands instinctively reached out to break her fall, landing right on the shards of a coffee mug that Tristan had shattered earlier.

Pain shot through her body, rendering her defenseless as Fiona yanked her around.

Naomi quickly snapped out of her shock and rushed to pull Fiona away.

The scarf tightened around Sylvia's neck, cutting off her breath until she felt it might snap. Just in time, Edwin managed to wrestle the frenzied Fiona away.

The scarf was wrenched from Sylvia in the process.
