The old man was angered by Fiona’s words but did not know how to refute them.
Fiona laughed and said, "How about this, I'll ask him about it later and will teach him a good lesson. I still have some urgent business here, so I can't talk..."
After that, Fiona immediately hung up her phone. Her face became glum as she cursed.
"What bad luck!"
Fiona looked up at her three good friends that were still waiting on her turn in a card game. She immediately plastered on a smile and greeted them.
"Let’s continue! It’s just a small matter.”
Sitting across from Fiona was Yvette's mother.
Mrs. Quimbey raised her eyebrows. "A small matter? What did Lance do that someone else had to come complaining to you?"
Fiona pursed her lips. "Sigh, he's just a kid. I no longer care about the company’s affairs, so complaining to m e won't do him any good. But some people still don’t understand this!"
Mrs. Quimbey paused. "Did Yvette cause trouble recently?"
Fiona rolled her eyes at Mrs. Quimbey.
"What are you talking about?! My daughter-in-law is very well-behaved. She works all day long without complaining. Not to mention, early this morning when I went to the office to deliver some soup, I saw Yvette a t work before dawn. She’s even more dedicated than m y son! Where can you get such a great child who's so hardworking and progressive? I have such a good eye! Lance doesn't even deserve her!”
The corners of Mrs. Quimbey's eyes twitched. She muttered in a low voice.
"Did you mistake her for someone else? Are you talking about my daughter?”
Fiona coldly snorted. "How could I mistake my daughter-in-law for someone else? No way! The sign o f a successful woman is to be so immersed in work. Yvette has already achieved it!”
Mrs. Quimbey was speechless.
The other two women also nodded their heads in praise.
