“Wait!” Britney called out to Fia first.
Fia turned around and asked, “What is it?”
“What’s the meaning of these flowers?!”
Fia looked at the flowers on her bedside table and gently said, “I’m so sorry for not being able to buy you real peach blossoms. It’s not easy to get them in this season. Since you like the scent of peach blossoms, you should like this too.”
“How do you know that I like peach blossoms?” Britney tried her best to control herself.
Fia narrowed her eyes as she stared at Britney. There was nothing wrong. Her voice was also different from Esme.
However, that kind of resentment wasn’t something that the “Britney Thomas” that Sally described could have.
“Would you like schrysanthemum then? I’ll buy sfor you next tI cto visit, alright?”
“No, I don’t!” Britney reflexively yelled and Barbara and her parents looked at her in shock.
Peter, who was standing at the side, stared at Fia with darkened eyes without alerting anyone.

“It hurts. Every tI say something, it hurts.”

Barbara frowned and said, “Dad, we’ve already planted them for so long. Why must we get rid of them now?”

Fia frowned. She didn’t feel like Britney said she didn’t like chrysanthemums because of her bad mood.
Britney pulled her blanket, and the two stacks of cash by the bedside fell to the ground.
She turned around and saw Peter who was standing by the window. His eyes were cold and vicious.
Instantly, she felt a chill down her spine, and she didn’t dare to throw a temper tantrum anymore.
“Take your money back. As a staff of Maxwell Corporation, it’s normal to do something like that for Mr. Maxwell,” Britney said as she recovered her usual calm and gentle self.
Fia didn’t show off her status. She knelt down to pick up the two wads of cash and then put
them on the bedside table.
She didn’t want to say any honeyed words anymore. She should leave now that she was done testing her.
“Take care of yourself. I’m leaving.”
