Chapter 1247
Rose's face turned beet red as she snapped, "What did I say wrong? Isn't it true? If she's this bossy to an outsider like me, imagine how she treats Darwin at home!"
"I'm gonna teach you a lesson today!" Mike was fuming.
"That's enough." Fiona's voice cut through the tension from behind him.
Mike spun around, still seething. "Ms. Chelsea."
Fiona calmly pushed past Mike and Christopher, who were blocking her way, and fixed her gaze on Rose, whose face was flushed with anger.
"I know exactly why Darwin's illness flared up. You don't need to use it as a weapon." Fiona stared at Rose. "I've got a clear conscience when it comes to Darwin, whether it was ten years ago, six years ago, or now."
Fiona never really knew who was to blame, but she was sure it wasn't her.
When she was Darwin's stand-in lover, she took care of him diligently, both in life and work, never defying his orders.
Later, she gave Darwin a chance, but he let her down. She didn't regret running away with the baby. Whatever happened to Darwin afterward was his own doing, and he had to deal with the consequences.
She wasn't wrong; she just wanted to live freely with her kids.
As for their reunion, she felt she was generous enough, not tormenting Darwin and forgiving him quickly.
Darwin's illness was their shared misfortune.
However, she was rational and wouldn't let those shackles quietly bind her.
Those shackles were just left there. She wouldn't even look at them.
All she wanted was for Darwin to get better under Hubert's treatment.
"Do you have a clear conscience?" Rose laughed. "I really don't get why Darwin is so head over heels for a cold and heartless woman like you. You don't love anyone; you only love yourself."
"Rose!" Hubert scolded, grabbing Rose's arm to leave. "Come back with me!"
"Hubert, let go!" Rose struggled desperately.
Fiona's voice rang out again. "No matter how much you struggle, it's useless. Going to the company I arranged for you to do marketing is the best way out. If you really don't cooperate, I have other less pleasant options for you to consider. It's up to you."
Hubert looked at Fiona with a complex expression.
Fiona also looked at him. "Mr. Graham, you're late for work."
She exuded an authoritative yet non-angry aura, carrying a sense of oppression.
Hubert thought she was angry.
However, later, he realized that with Fiona's inner strength, Rose wouldn't have affected Fiona's mood no matter what she did.
Rose still went to Armie that afternoon.
She didn't let Hubert see her off and set off alone.
On the third day, Fiona met a mysterious visitor in Cyberia.
That evening, her private jet carried the mysterious visitor and her team to a small city near Bay City, where Scarlet and her husband picked them up from the airport.
However, on that day, Darwin still refused to eat.
In the evening, Hubert brought a letter and a small photo album.
Darwin, who had been sitting there like a withered tree, didn't even lift his eyelids.
When Hubert sat down next to him, a strange thought, not belonging to his consciousness, flashed through Darwin's mind, urging him to pounce on Hubert's throat the moment he sat down!
However, just as this thought arose, a faint fragrance wafted to Darwin's nose.
Darwin seemed to snap back to reality immediately and turned to look at what Hubert was handing over.
"Ms. Rhoads wrote you a letter and asked me to give you this," Hubert said.
Darwin grabbed the letter.
Trembling, he opened it.
Fiona: [During the last camping trip, Chicago took a lot of photos, all in the album. I've gone back to Bay City. I'll visit again when I have time.]
