Chapter 136

Before Angela could get the cutlery for the food, Fiona had already cracked open a bottle of wine and started

drinking straight from it.

"Wait a second. Please stop.” Angela hurriedly stopped her. "Eat something first to line your stomach. Drinking

like this is harmful.”

Fiona looked rather pale. She ate a couple of bites perfunctorily before resuming her drinking.

By the ther face was flushed and her eyes started to sparkle with drunkenness, she grabbed Angela's arm

and poured out her feelings.

"Tell me-am | that terrible? Even though I'm this capable, why does he still go looking for someone else? I've

worked tirelessly for the Bamford family for so many years. Is he blind to it? Angela, if it were you, what would

you do?"

Fiona had never spoken so much before.

Seeing her so broken, Angela couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Nothing that happened is your fault."Angela sighed, feeling the weight of the world's

SOIrows.

“Con, drink!" Fiona handed Angela a bottle of fruit wine. "This isn't too strong, and it tastes pretty good."

Angela shook her head to refuse, sticking to her tea and occasionally taking a sip.

Leaning back on the couch, she gazed at the moon hanging not too high up in the night sky, feeling a bit

melancholic.

"What are you being so mopey about? Your life right now isn't that bad, is it?” Fiona chuckled sarcastically,

taking another swig of her drink.

She started coughing for a long while as she choked on her drink.

Angela sighed helplessly, patting Fiona's back until she was fine. Then she said calmly, "You think I'm doing well?

Oh, her life was just wonderful.

First, she was almost killed by her husband's younger brother. Then, when she returned, she found her father

preparing for her funeral. As if that wasn't enough, her in-laws’ relationships were falling apart.

She believed no one would be desperate enough to want such a life.

That was when she realized her life was pretty terrible as well, and she felt tempted to drink herself into oblivion.

But she knew drinking wouldn't help.

When the alcohol wore off, life would still be the same, and she might end up with health problems on top of

everything else. As such, it was better not to start.

"Fiona suddenly blurted out, as if discussing

her.

"Huh?” Angela almost burst out laughing. “Madam Fiona, you're definitely drunk. How could you have such a

ridiculous thought?"

“At the very least, he doesn't want to divorce you now. Don't listen to his nonsense about company reputation or

personal image. | know him better than anyone else he simply doesn't want to leave you, understand?"

Fiona struggled to sit up, trying to focus her gaze on Angela's face. “Lettell you, if you want to win him over,

do it quickly while he still has feelings for you... While he still likes you...

"I don't think | should desire his affection.” Angela smiled faintly. “I'm doing just fine on my own."

By the end, Fiona was utterly drunk

Afraid something might happen to her, Angela stayed up all night watching over her.

The next morning, both of them had dark circles under their eyes.

"Don't go to work today. You probably have a headache,” Angela said, bringing breakfast to Fiona.

Fiona had just cout of the shower, already back to her usual decisive self.

"| can't.” Fiona continued indifferently, "Even if the sky falls, | have to go to work. Do you want people gossiping

Angela raised an eyebrow. "Whether you go or not probably wouldn't change what people think.”

After quickly grabbing two pieces of bread, Fiona took a bite and nodded. “You're right, but I can't let myself be

idle, nor can | let weakness take over. Goodbye."

Fiona really was a person full of determination.

In the spacious villa, only Angela and a few housekeepers were left. Retreating to her study, she resumed her

painting live stream.

In the evening, Joseph called her, asking her to cfor dinner.

Angela sensed something must be up, so she waited for Dexter to return before they went together.
