Was Fiona healed and back?
Millie glanced at the papers she was holding before knocking on the door.
It was Leon who answered it. He immediately grimaced upon seeing her.
He was there because Fiona had asked him to retrieve her headphones.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMillie was surprised to see Leon.
She cleared her throat and asked, “How is Fiona?”
She was now positive that Fiona had gotten plastic surgery, but she was still determined to find out what else she was hiding. Her initial plan was to talk to her and probe for ambiguities in her words, but it turned out she was not hyet.
“She’s awake now. Are you disappointed?”
Leon’s features contorted into a mocking grin. In his eyes, Millie was nothing but a hypocrite.
“Sorry for bothering you.”
Millie could not handle Leon’s sarcastic attitude any longer, so she decided to leave.
“Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Leon asked.
Millie immediately understood what he was implying, and her demeanour hardened as a result.
“D.S. Jewelry has decided to end my partnership. Was it your doing?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Are you angry? You’re lucky, though. If something really happened to Fiona, you’d be in an even worse situation. For now, I’ll just put an end to your career,” Leon sneered.
He knew that Millie would never be strapped for money if she approached Marcus for financial assistance.
However, he also knew that the woman had an iron will. She would never give up her career as a jewelry designer, and the money she was spending centirely from her own earnings.
She would definitely be cornered if her design work was suddenly cut off.
“Really? I don’t think my circumstances are particularly dire at the moment, though. I’d be afraid if I lacked talent, but I don’t. If I can’t work with D.S. Jewelry, then I’ll just find another company to cooperate with,” Millie stated with a smile.
“Except for your husband’s company, no one in Preagend will hire you as a designer now. If you don’t believe me, then go ahead and try applying,” Leon taunted.
He issued a warning to the jewelry industry in Preagend, saying that anyone who decided to work with Millie should be on the lookout for any untoward happenings.
It would be foolish to underestimate the power of the network he had built.
