Chapter 200
The private room fell into a silence so deep that one could hear a pin drop.
The young guests exchanged uneasy glances, their faces filled with panic.
Simon smiled, but it was a cold smile devoid of any warmth.“What’s the matter? Don’t want to speak? Or do you want me to dig into your company’s flaws and kick you straight out?”
Ethan’s voice was even colder and more detached: “You should know that the wrath of the Corvin Family is not something you can withstand!“}
It was as if a knife had been pressed to their throats.
After a moment of suffocating silence,someone finally couldn’t hold back any longer.” “Actually,ever since high school,the one being bullied…wasn’t Fiona,but Callista.“\
The first words dropped like a knife tearing open a wound.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
Simon shot up,his voice trembling,“Make yourself clear.“>
The person took a deep breath and,all at once, blurted out.“Back then,everyone knew Fiona was cunning. She took advantage of being the favorite in your family,crying and pretending whenever it suited her and constantly set traps behind the scenes.Callista had good grades and the teachers liked her,which made Fiona insanely jealous. She often gathered people to surround Callista in the restroom,berating her,forcing her to kneel and apologize,or else spreading rumors…“}
As soon as the words fell,the room fell into a deadly silence.
Then,someone else let out a cold laugh, adding more, “She didn’t just do it once or twice. I remember during a sports meet, Callista had clearly signed up,but the participant list was forcibly altered by Fiona. When the teacher called the names,Callista didn’t compete and was scolded harshly.”
“And there was that English speech contest–Callista had prepared the most seriously. But Fiona sneakily stole the script in advance and replaced it with nonsense,causing the whole school to burst into laughter-“”
“You probably don’t know,but that time Callista ran back to the classroom in tears. Yet the next day,Fiona claimed that Callista had deliberately sabotaged her,trying to steal her chance…”
“She was the master of this trick–always the perpetrator,yet crying like a victim.“”
Each statement cut like a knife,slicing deeper into their hearts.
These wealthy,influential young elites had long been dissatisfied with Fiona. Back then,everyone played together on roughly equal footing,yet Fiona always bossed them around.”
They had thought that once the true heiress returned,Fiona,the impostor,might behave. But to their surprise,the Corvin Family spoiled her even more and she became even more reckless.
“All of us were doted on by our families–who would want to be Fiona’s dog?“}
The three men’s faces grew increasingly grim.”
Jason’s fingers clenched so tightly that the veins stood out.”
Simon and Ethan’s hearts churned like stormy seas as they recalled one scene after another:Fiona sobbing with feigned innocence and them angrily scolding Callista….
Looking back now,it all seemed like a cruel joke.”
After a brief hesitation,someone suddenly spoke coldly, “What about the birthday banquet a few days ago? Why is no one mentioning that?”
At these words,everyone’s expressions stiffened.”
The person gritted their teeth. “At that time,it was Fiona herself who slapped herself hard. Then she wailed loudly, claiming Callista did it,saying that Callista was jealous of her!And yet,you didn’t even ask–just believed her,even going so far as to strip Callista’s clothes and humiliate her. Are you really her brothers?“!
The three men’s hearts felt like they’d been struck by thunder.
Especially Jason:images from that day flashed vividly in his mind–the despair and injustice in my eyes–still etched as clear
as ever!!
So it was all a setup./
He could no longer stay seated.\
Just then,the private room door swung open.
Fiona walked back in,stepping lightly in her high heels,her voice and demeanor dripping with sweetness. “What are you all talking about?”
Before she could finish speaking,a crisp,sharp sound echoed N
