Chapter 69: Thief Behavior
Mrs. Wooten was sharp-eyed, and when she was packing things up, she saw Fiona’s little movements through the mirror, immediately walking up to her.
“Miss Woods, Mr. Sterling said, except for the luggage you brought, nothing else can be taken away.”
“Mrs. Wooten, I…” Fiona couldn’t hold back, blushing and trying to defend herself, “This is mine…”
“Miss Woods, please put it back. If I’m not mistaken, this necklace was purchased by you with Mr. Sterling’s credit card last week, for fifty thousand each.” Mrs. Wooten stared at Fiona, not allowing her to take a single stitch: “Mr. Sterling instructed, don’t make things difficult for me.”
Mrs. Wooten was actually quite shocked, what difference did Fiona’s behavior have with that of a thief?
How could such a woman be worthy of Mr. Sterling?
No wonder Mr. Sterling wanted to get rid of Fiona.
She hadn’t seen before that Fiona was actually this kind of woman.
Fiona, furious and embarrassed, put the necklace back: “You lowly creature, Mrs. Wooten, you’re just a worker here, I’ve just fallen out of favor, and you’re treating me like this. Don’t be so quick to gloat. I will be back sooner or later. When that day comes, I’ll be the first to kick you out.”
Before, Fiona had pretended to be quite well-mannered, polite, except for splurging on shopping, wanting the best of everything, eating the best, wearing the best, and everything else was fine.
But now, Fiona’s true colors were revealed, shocking Mrs. Wooten.
Mrs. Wooten pushed the suitcase to Fiona: “Miss Woods, take your things and leave. If you have the ability, come back and say these things then.”
Fiona, not feeling light at all, gripped the handle of the suitcase, looking at the luxury items in the room, her heart bleeding.
She didn’t know how she had offended Terrence Sterling, suddenly being kicked out without any warning signs.
Thinking of how she had told Meredith to move out, did Meredith say something behind her back?
Thinking of this, Fiona was especially angry, dragging the suitcase, she left Thornfield Gardens and called Meredith, only to find out that she had been blocked by Meredith.
This made Fiona even more certain that it was Meredith’s doing, dragging the suitcase, she angrily went to settle scores with Meredith.
On the third floor of the villa, Terrence Sterling stood by the French window, watching Fiona leave, and also saw her angrily making a call at the door.
“Mr. Sterling.” Mrs. Wooten walked in: “Miss Woods has already left.”
“Okay.” Terrence Sterling’s tone was cold and without any emotional fluctuations.
Mrs. Wooten hesitated and said, “Just now, Miss Woods tried to take a pearl necklace but I made her put it back.”
Terrence Sterling’s voice was faint: “Get rid of everything she purchased, tear down the room, renovate it, leaving no trace.”
“Yes, Mr. Sterling.” Mrs. Wooten responded and left.
…
Justin didn’t arrive home until 9 p. m., and he was surprised to find the lights on at home.
Was it because he forgot to turn them off before leaving, he wondered, only to see Meredith coming out of the guest room.
“Meredith, when did you come?” Justin was both surprised and happy: “How are you feeling? I rushed back after finishing the case, what happened? You had a miscarriage for no reason. I asked Fiona to take care of you, did she not come?”
“You asked her to come?”
Whenever Fiona was mentioned, Meredith’s face turned sour: “I blocked her, don’t mention her in front of me, and also, I’m not pregnant, let alone had a miscarriage. The hospital made a mistake before, I quit my job, temporarily moved in here for a few days, and I will leave once I find a house.”
The information conveyed in Meredith’s words was quite significant. Justin quickly processed it, he had only been gone for two days, how could so much have happened?
Justin looked at Meredith’s stomach and pieced things together: “Not pregnant? The hospital made a mistake?”
Meredith sat down on the couch, placing a pillow on her lap: “Yes, they made a mistake.”
Justin sat down on the opposite couch, asking, “You quit your job? Why did you quit?”
“I had a fight with my boss, couldn’t stay at the company anymore, so I quit.” Meredith confessed honestly: “Mr. Lawyer, is there anything else you want to ask? Let’s get it all out.”
She sat down, clearly prepared to accept Justin’s questioning.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Justin asked, “Did you and Fiona have another falling out? What was it about this time?”
Meredith looked at him and said, “Do you know who Fiona’s boyfriend is?”
Justin asked, “Who? You found the man? Did she tell you?”
“The President of Sterling Corporation, Terrence Sterling.”
