“In my opinion, only a perfect woman who’s youthful, possesses a good figure, is rich, and powerful deserves my Nathan!”
While Fiona hadn’t had a clear look at the face of the director of Saunders Group, she couldn’t wait to get acquainted with her solely based on what she heard from the conversation of those around her and how affluent she appeared.
“Mom, I’m afraid you’ve lost your mind! How could Nathan have anything to do with the daughter of the Saunders family when he’s already engaged to Jessica? Besides, I loathe Saunders women the most! Look how wonderfully gentle and kind Jessica is…” Caroline pouted reluctantly, and her envious gaze swept past Emilia’s whereabouts.
She had always been the center of attention while attending any event due to her identity as Nathan’s sister.
Alas, no one sucked to her now despite her taking pains to dress up, and all flocked around Emilia instead.
This caused Caroline’s impression of her to worsen even further.
“You don’t understand anything!”
Fiona unhesitatingly knocked Caroline on the head. “At the end of the day, Jessica is a disabled woman. How can she compare to the daughter of the Saunders. family? Besides, it’s only an engagement between her and Nathan. Our family. hasn’t publicly admitted it nor invited any witnesses to the occasion. As such, it doesn’t count!”
Fiona was far too materialistic. She’d switched up and took to addressing Jessica by her full name instead of her term of affection from the moment she set her eyes on a new target.
“I’m afraid the Bennett family would hit the roof if they knew what you were plotting, Mom!”
Caroline covered her head, which had been 1- ked, and couldn’t help feeling wronged, stomping her feet hard to express issatisfaction.
Although Caroline was usually rather spoiled and rude, she was still innocent at heart and didn’t see eye to eye with Fiona’s fickle behavior.
Fiona viewed Caroline’s words with disdain. “What is the Bennett family when one can get their hands on the prominent Saunders family? Go talk to her since. you young ones have more topics in common!”
With that, Fiona shoved Caroline hard and ignored the fact that she was wearing at long gown.
Caroline tripped and stepped on the hem of her dress, barely missing a fall. Her face darkened at once.

“I’m not going! You should approach her yourself if you’re so eager! Just wait and see if Nathan will be mad at you once he discovers that you’re setting him up with Jessica one day and a member of the Saunders family the next!”
“Well, I see you’re being rebellious!” Fiona rolled up her sleeves and reached to tug Caroline’s arm forcefully. “Nathan’s marriage with Jessica has to be delayed again, from what I think! It would be best if nothing is wrong with her legs and feet. However, now that she can’t make it… Fiona dismissed Caroline’s feelings as she murmured and made to drag her off.
“Ms. Saunders, I’ve admired you for a long time!”
When Fiona noticed that no one was giving way to her, she began yelling conspicuously before squeezing into the crowd, “I’m the mother of Miller Group’s director! I’ve long heard that Miller Group and Saunders Group are collaborating. Why don’t we take this chance to communicate and strengthen our relationship?” Fiona’s voice was far from soft, and everyone began moving out of her way when they heard Miller Group’s name.
Just as Fiona was feeling pleased about her son’s far–reaching reputation and how it made others wary, she had a clear look at the face of Saunders Group’s director before her.
The smile froze on her face.
“Emilia!”
Caroline naturally noticed the woman before her and exclaimed in a piercing. voice, “How could it be you?”
Her scream caused Emilia’s shapely brows to furrow.
The truth was that Emilia had already known it was Fiona from the moment she began speaking.
The corners of Emilia’s lips lifted slowly as she stared at their dumbfounded expressions. “Mrs. Miller, are you planning to have a tete–a–tete to enhance our relationship?”
There was a hint of irony in Emilia’s respons hich was like a painful slap to Fiona’s face.
“Emilia! How could you be the daughter of the Saunders family?”
Images of how Emilia looked during the three years she’d been married to Nathan kept flashing in her mind.
Emilia used to have no temper and was impoverished to the point of being unable to bring herself to purchase a single piece of jewelry, exuding the aura of one who was broke.
Moreover, Fiona had seen Emilia’s parents when she’d married into the Miller family! It was evident that they were destitute. Hence, how could she be the former director of the influential Saunders family?

Fiona stretched out her hand and pointed at Emilia ruthlessly, getting increasingly convinced at the veracity of her conjecture. “How dare you impersonate the daughter of the Saunders family! Have you gone mad due to poverty, Emilia?”
Emilia felt amused by the absurdity of Fiona’s baseless doubt of her identity. Emilia hadn’t expected to meet Fiona at this auction. However, she did not want to become further entangled with the Miller family and just pretended not to know them.
She placed her champagne–filled wineglass on a tray held by an attendant behind. her. Her graceful posture showed no hint of her previous meekness.
“Mrs. Miller, you must be joking. I don’t know you, yet the first thing you said to me is that I’m an imposter, tarnishing my good name. Is this the way of the Miller family?”
“Emilia, have you lost your memory? I’m your mother–in–law!”
Fiona stalked toward Emilia ragingly and grabbed her wrist violently, forcing her to meet her gaze.
She felt ever more ashamed and disgusted as if she’d eaten poop, at the thought of how deferential she’d been toward Emilia.
Emilia lowered her eyes and uttered coldly. “It is widely known that the wife of Saunders Group’s director had a car accident in her early years. She is now bedridden on the sickbed in a persistent vegetative state. Who do you think you are?”
With that, she mercilessly shook off Fiona’s hand, which was grabbing her wrist, causing Fiona to lose her footing and end up kneeling on the ground.
