Chapter 217

“Miss Fiona, why did you choose to become the other woman, tearing apart someone else’s family?”

“Word on the street is that Adrienne’s been playing queen bee at school, pushing everyone around. What’s your take on that?”

Have you been influenced by Adrienne’s behavior?”

“What kind of trash are you spouting? Turn those damn cameras off!” Fiona’s voice was thick with anger as she glared at the reporters.

Dealing with someone like Fiona was almost too easy no need for clever schemes or brainpower.

“The tragedy of upbringing. Spoiled rotten at home, thinking her family can clean up any mess she makes. Treated like a princess within her own walls, she expects royal treatment out in the real world, like everyone else is beneath her,” Harriet said, shaking her head in mock pity.

Unfortunately for her, reality can be harsh. If parents don’t instill the right values, society tends to have its own brutal way of teaching life lessons.

Mess with me and see if you can ever find work in showbiz again!” Fiona was obsessed with breaking into Rhett’s entertainment empire, but she lacked connections.

Now that the Haywoods and the FitzGeralds were joining forces through marriage, Fiona strutted around, wielding her newfound influence as everyone tried to get on her good side.

She reveled in the attention.

“So, Hertha, the soon–to–be fiancée of the FitzGerald Group’s heir, is also your cousin. I wonder if she’s ever played the bully or been the other woman‘ herself.”

The accusation was aimed straight at Hertha, and this was Kristin’s doing…
