Chapter 228: What goes around comes around
"I am not the one who got the short end of the stick here and you know that, Vincent."
A malicious smirk dominated Fil’s face as she let go of Vincent’s tie. Fil slowly faced Marianne and scoffed at her.
"Fil," called Marianne, only to stop when Fil waved dismissively.
"Save your apologies, Anne. If you’re really sorry, then don’t ever show your face to me." Fil shook her head. "I understand if Vincent fooled around with another woman while we were together, but with my best friend? God. How can you smile right in front of my face all this time?"
"Fil —"
"Shut up." Fil hissed. "Be grateful I haven’t done anything to the two of you. However, if you ever bother me and make me remember you exist, you two better say goodbye to your careers. Especially you Anne. I don’t think the public will be happy if they find out that the person who delivers honest news about public affairs is capable of doing this."
"I don’t want to hear a word from the two of you again," she added. "The moment you do, I’ll slap you with a lawsuit and a restraining order. Unless you don’t mind being the monkeys in a circus, then go ahead. I’m not clean, but my dirty laundry isn’t gonna cost me my career, reputation, and my life. I can’t say the same to both of you."
A satisfied huff escaped Fil as she darted her eyes between them. She said what she said, and it wasn’t a bluff. If they bother her again, Fil will go public. She didn’t know how Jackson would react, but she was certain he would understand.
As Fil turned, her eyes landed on Marcus. Elise was standing in front of him before she took a step back. Elise scoffed and turned her back on him, nodding at Fil as if she had got her message. As the two of them took a step away, Fil felt a hand grabbing her wrist.
