?<strong>Chapter 928:</strong>


    Terrified, Fiona huddled in on herself, cradling her head as soft sobs escaped her lips. Kaelyn decided it was enough. Smiling, she handed Fiona a tissue and asked softly, “Are you okay? Let me take you to a doctor. I’ll make sure you are taken care of.”


    Still trembling, Fiona met Kaelyn’s soft gaze and felt a sliver of calm wash over her. She epted the tissue, dabbing at her tear-streaked face, too frightened to utter a word.


    “You broke our agreement. Technically, I should hold you ountable for being an unreliable partner.” Kaelyn’s voice was calm, almost serene, yet Fiona heard the deadly undertone in her words. Kaelyn was subtly hinting at eliminating her.


    Fiona’s hand shook with fear, gripping the tissue as if it were a live grenade ready to go off. Kaelyn’s smile was unsettlingly reassuring. “It’s alright. I’m willing to give you another chance. As long as you heed my instructions, I’ll ensure you get what you want.”


    Fiona mulled over Kaelyn’s words for a long moment before cautiously asking, “What do you need me to do?” Kaelyn arched an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want to know right now? I thought you might prefer a little rest before we dive into the n.”


    A whirlwind of emotions swirled in Fiona’s chest. She knew Kaelyn didn’t seem like someone with honorable intentions. Fiona recognized toote that she had walked into a trap, and now she had no choice but toply. With a bitter smile, she acknowledged the truth in the old saying—karma is a bitch.


    After the rehearsal, Elyse turned down Edward’s invitation to dinner and patiently waited by the roadside for Jayden to pick her up. “Elyse.”


    Upon hearing her name called, Elyse spun around and spotted Fiona, who had a bandage wrapped around her head. Startled, she stared at Fiona for a moment before inquiring, “What happened to you? Who attacked you?”


    Fiona wanted to reveal that Mabel had struck her but chose not to betray her aplices. Shaking her head, she answered, “I was mistreated in the detention center.”


    Elyse felt a mix of emotions. She had previously heard about Fiona’s situation, but no concrete evidence had surfaced to confirm her involvement in any crimes. For a brief moment, Elyse was at a loss for words, standing motionless as she gazed at Fiona from afar. The arrival of Jayden soon interrupted the ufortable silence between them.


    Upon seeing Jayden, Fiona refrained from rushing toward him as she had in the past. Instead, she covered her injured face to avoid his scrutiny. Jayden had keen eyesight but couldn’t identify the woman who looked like a mummy. He queried Elyse, “Your fan?”
