Chapter 393 She Staged a Burglary Scene
Fanny was losing it, yanking at her collar so hard she almost choked Laura. Laura, wide-eyed and freaked out by Fanny's intense stare, tried to calm her down. "Fanny, chill out! I never said that."
"I got your back," Laura added.
Fanny shot her a skeptical look. "For real?"
Fanny was at her breaking point. She wouldn't be in this mess if Laura hadn't pushed her to go against Violet. She blamed Laura for everything and now had to deal with the fallout.
"Yeah, I will," Laura kept trying to soothe the wild-eyed Fanny. "Just let go of me, and let's talk this out."
Fanny hesitated, baring her teeth and glaring at Laura. After a moment, she let go, stepped back, and laughed coldly. "If you're getting a job in the EU, you gotta take me with you. And I want a position as good as yours. Otherwise, I'll spill everything to Max about how you screwed over Violet!"
Laura couldn't help but laugh at the audacity. She had to fight tooth and nail to get a position as the Senior Design Director in the EU, and now Fanny wanted to be her equal? No way.
Laura wasn't about to let Fanny push her around. She frowned slightly but kept her cool. "Fanny, you know I can't control the EU management. I don't have the power to get you a top spot. If you come to the EU, you'll have to start as a junior designer."
Hearing "junior designer" made Fanny see red. She grabbed a glass teacup and smashed it at Laura's feet, shouting, "Are you kidding me? We're on the same level! Why should I start as a junior? Who do you think you're fooling?"
Fanny got more and more worked up. The shattered glass cut Laura's ankle, making her bleed. Furious, Laura slapped Fanny hard. "Fanny, I told you, I can't control the management. If I could, don't you think I'd hook you up?"
"Throwing a fit won't help. What's with the drama at my place?" Laura snapped.
Fanny's cheek stung from the slap, and her anger flared even more. She slapped Laura back. "You bitch, you used me, and now that Max has kicked me out, you want to stand by and do nothing?"
Fanny raged on, "Fine, whatever. If I go down, you're coming with me. I'll make sure you don't get into the EU smoothly. I'll tell Max everything about how you pushed me to go against Violet and how you framed her. Just wait!"
Fanny stormed off, leaving Laura in a daze. Suddenly, Laura grabbed a glass vase from the coffee table and caught up to Fanny at the door.
She raised the vase and smashed it on the back of Fanny's head.
With a loud thud, Fanny dropped instantly. Laura, scared she might get up, straddled her and kept hitting her until Fanny was out cold.
Laura quickly got up, ran to the kitchen for wet wipes to clean the blood and fingerprints off the vase, then changed into a black tracksuit, mask, and hat.
She opened the door and left, planning to make it look like a burglary gone wrong.
