Chapter 1309
"What’s the use of telling me all this?" Jane McCain looked at her calmly, with a slight curl at the corner of her mouth, "You should tell Allen Rivera."
"No, I must make it clear to you." Fiona Lake shook her head, her face expressionless, "He doesn’t like Juliet Stewart, and he values my work abilities. This gave me false hope; it’s rare to meet a man who doesn’t judge by appearances, I should seize the opportunity, right?"
But then, he brought you along... how ironic, more beautiful than Juliet Stewart, better dressed, and younger. Turns out he’s just as vulgar, only loves pretty women."
"He just happened not to love you." Jane McCain frowned, unable to resist refuting her.
"No matter, the fact remains, he found a pretty little girl nine years younger than him." Fiona Lake sneered, shrugging, "That’s men for you, always going for the pretty ones... Of course, some men also admire talented women, provided that the talented woman is pretty."
Jane McCain smiled faintly, noncommittal.
Fiona Lake lowered her eyes, gently stirring the teaspoon, and continued, "I really dislike you, but I’m also grateful to you. You shattered my dream and brought me back to reality.
Your documents weren’t touched by me, Juliet Stewart bumping into you had nothing to do with me, sending you to deliver the mask was a spur-of-the-moment idea, just to scare you... I wanted to see you react like Juliet Stewart did that night, screaming and crying instinctively, and I wondered if Allen Rivera would dislike you for it and scold you like he did Juliet Stewart...
The area was already fenced with wire, I knew this well, I didn’t mean to endanger your life. I’m not that delusional, if it caused you any mental discomfort, I apologize now, sincerely sorry."
Jane McCain looked at her silently, couldn’t help finding it somewhat amusing.
