?<strong>Chapter 848:</strong>


    The staff members exchanged a look and moved toward Fiona, signaling it was time for her to leave. Fiona hastily retreated, asserting, “I’m merely delivering something for a friend. I’ll be out of your way shortly.”


    Gavin was impatient. “Well, you should have left already. What’s keeping you here?”


    With a fierce re, Fiona snapped, “Alright, I’m leaving.”

    Once out of Gavin’s sight, Fiona exhaled deeply, feeling temporary relief from the confrontation. Under her breath, she muttered defiantly, “He thinks he can force me out? If Elyse doesn’t show, I might just step in for her. It doesn’t matter which one of uspetes.” Still, Fiona needed to understand the dy in thepetition’s start, so she went looking for someone in the know.


    Meanwhile, in the car, Elyse noticed traffic clearing up ahead and excitedly remarked, “Look, the traffic’s clearing!”


    David, confident, responded, “Yes, it’s clearing up. We’ll get there in time for you to participate in thepetition.”


    “What? Someone anonymously reported a bomb in the concert hall?”


    Fiona had approached a staff member and discovered the reason for the dy in thepetition. After pausing to think, she quickly added, “Is there actually a bomb, or could it just be a hoax?”


    The staff member shook his head. “We haven’t verified the presence of a bomb inside the concert hall, but there was definitely an explosion near the back door. For the safety of everyone, we must rule out any possible bomb threats before thepetition can proceed.”


    Fiona nodded, showing her understanding, expressed her gratitude to the staff member, and hurried back to Elyse’s lounge. She took out her phone and made a call. “Hello, Kaelyn. You need toe up with a n quickly. Someone nted a bomb in the concert hall, and now thepetition has been postponed.”


    Upon hearing this, Kaelyn responded indifferently, “If there’s a bomb, just disarm it. Why involve me? I’ve done all I can for you. Do you expect me to handle bombs as well?”


    Fiona replied anxiously, “That’s not what I’m implying. Doesn’t it strike you as odd? An anonymous tip about a bomb in the concert hall, and now thepetition is on hold.”


    “You’re implying that someone intentionally postponed thepetition?” While Kaelyn continued to casually tend to her fingernails, she mused, “Even with the dy, Elyse won’t be able to return. Do you know where I took her? She’s in a secluded area within the state, guarded by its own armed forces. Elyse might not even survive there.”


    “Are you certain?” Fiona was dubious about Kaelyn’s ims.


    Kaelyn scoffed, “If you don’t believe me, then don’t bother asking for my help. We’re nearly done with our partnership, and you’re still questioning me? I really don’t want to deal with someone like you anymore.”


    Fiona, visibly embarrassed, quickly apologized. “Sorry, that wasn’t my intention. I’m just really worried that Elyse will steal my opportunity.”


    Upon hearing this, Kaelyn couldn’t help but burst intoughter. She taunted, “Are you serious? Your opportunity? Had I not orchestrated a car ident to eliminate a finalist previously, would you even be here? Your abilities are truly mediocre. Every chance you’ve gotten has been due to my maniptions.”


    Flushed with humiliation by Kaelyn’s remarks, Fiona quickly responded, “Regardless, I’m deeply thankful for all you’ve done. After thepetition, I’ll make sure you get what you desire.”
