The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 349

"Sobbing." With snot and tears all over her face, Xanthe looked a Fiona, who was holding a small knife and moving closer to Shakira. She struggled desperately and if she could have made a sound, she would have yelled herself hoarse. "No rush. I'll deal with her first and then get to you. Fiona shot Xanthe a glance and stood next to Shakira, who was curled up and gasping for air.

The knife in Fiona's hand waved carelessly, ready to slip and cul deeply into Shakira if she let her guard down.

Yet, Shakira maintained a calm expression as if she was not afraid of Fiona's silent threat. Fiona sneered with malice, crouched down, and let the cold blade trace Shakira's pretty face

As Shakira felt her consciousness slipping away bit by bit, she deeply frowned. "Fiona, do you want Jaslene to die uneasy." "Shut up." Fiona screamed hysterically, tossing Shakira aside. "You have no right to talk about Grandma." Seeing the still proud and arrogant look on Shakira's face completely set her off. "I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you." She raised her hand and was ready to stab the small knife into Shakira's chest-

"Ms. Banks, Mr. Banks is calling." An elderly woman appeared looking worried. Fiona's face was full of anger. "Why is he calling me?Haven't they already kicked me out."

harshly yesterday maybe because they were angry. Perhaps they've thought about it and want to apologize now?" Fiona's defiant expression was mixed

"I'll deal with you when I get back." Fiona followed the elder woman off the floor, and the men in black, clearly unwilling to stay with two dirty women, left arm in arm as well.
