GoodReadChapter 784:
The chaos quickly caught the attention of Fiona’s father, Josh Smith, who finally walked into the banquet hall, his
gaze sweeping over the mess.
“What's going on here?” he demanded, noticing the guests already filing out.
“Sorry, Mr. Smith. We didn’t handle things well. Mr. Shaw had a disagreement with Miss Smith over his
companion,” a waiter explained, recounting the events in detail.
Josh's face darkened with fury.
“Fiona, my office. Now!” he snapped, then turned to the waiter, his voice firm. “Get the guests calmed down and
tell them our banquet will begin soon. Do whatever it takes to keep them here!”
“Yes, Mr. Smith.”
In the office, the remnants of Fiona’s anger hung thick in the air. Her glare was lethal, as if ready to kill Allison at
any moment.

Josh wore a deep frown, breaking the silence with a question. “Do you realize what today is?”
“Yes, the triennial banquet,” Fiona snapped back, her voice dripping with disdain. “But | can’t just sit back when

Josh's voice was icy as he rebuked her. “I've lost count of how many times I've told you to steer clear of Verruckt,
yet here we are again!”
“You just don’t get it, Dad!” Fiona’s dismissal was swift, her cheek still red. She rubbed her stinging cheek, her
voice tinged with bitterness. “Verruckt is a decent and smart man, worthy of me. He's just been tricked by that
woman, that’s all.”
Her words were laced with venom, fueled by the jealousy that seethed within her. Fiona envied Allison, who had
captured Verruckt’'s affections, his kisses. Imagining a world where she could simply erase Allison and step into
her place consumed her.
Josh's face grew colder as he
