Chapter 1054 - 1053: Mr. Ford’s Joy

Finn Chandler kept a calm expression, not wanting to answer.

Fiona Ford chuckled lightly, and Finn thought she would continue pretending.

Entering the Ford mansion, they could run into Mrs. Ford or Mr. Ford at any moment.

Fiona didn’t; she smiled faintly, unable to suppress the disdain in her eyes toward Finn.

"Truly, you’ve become the phoenix on the branch."

"However, don’t you forget your identity—a bastard, a girl dressed as a boy. How can you gain a foothold in the Ford Family?"

Fiona mocked.

Finn slowed down, looking at Fiona provoking her at the entrance to the mansion’s main hall.

Did Fiona take the wrong medicine today?

Arguing with her right at the entrance of the Ford mansion!

"Didn’t you say you wished me and Julian well?"

"Didn’t you not believe this last time?" Fiona asked with amusement. She had returned not to heed Mr. Ford’s words or to let the Ford Family have happy days, but to make sure they wouldn’t.

"Finn, I’ve said it before, you won’t live a good life."

Fiona leaned in closer to Finn, her voice dropping.

Her lips curled up, to outsiders it seemed she was chatting with Finn, and they looked harmonious.

No, to outsiders, it looked like Fiona was being friendly, while after Fiona finished speaking, Finn raised a hand and slapped her.

It wasn’t the first time hitting Fiona; having done it many times, Finn found it quite handy!

"Finn!"

Fiona shouted harshly, covering her stinging cheek, glaring intensely.

"Hmph!"

Finn snorted coldly, raised her head, straightened her back, and walked towards the main hall.

Fiona might act out in front of Mr. Ford, but provoking Finn repeatedly, Finn felt it was more effective to demonstrate the consequences with a slap!

Watching Finn leave, Fiona gritted her teeth in anger.

Having had a previous quarrel with Finn, Fiona knew well that both Mrs. Ford and Julian protected Finn, and even if Mr. Ford believed her, he couldn’t help her much.

She could only endure!

"Just as ruthless as the former Young Master Chambers!" The man behind her came over, sneering.

Finn could control The Chambers Corporation’s power, not only because of Old Master Chambers’ nurturing but also because Finn was ruthless and decisive, discouraging others in The Chambers Family from provoking her lightly.

As Mrs. Ford, Finn had softened considerably compared to before.

"Very soon, she’ll be crying!" Fiona said, her lips curling as a sinister smile gradually appeared.

The incident of Finn slapping Fiona was witnessed by some servants, who were sensible enough to know that both Mrs. Ford and Julian protected Finn, so gossiping wouldn’t be meaningful.

So, they turned a blind eye.

The Wife of the Eldest Master Ford still heard about it; for her, as long as the one being slapped wasn’t Finn, she was fine and instructed the servants not to disclose this to Mr. Ford.

She didn’t want Mr. Ford to give Finn a hard time because of Fiona.

During dinner, Mr. Ford, who went out to buy gifts, saw Fiona bring her boyfriend for dinner for real, feeling very pleased.

Fiona was an adopted daughter, but to him, she was no different from a biological daughter.

Seeing Fiona moving on from Julian, finding someone she liked, and beginning her own life, Mr. Ford was so happy he wanted to drink.

But the Wife of the Eldest Master Ford wouldn’t allow it.

Mr. Ford’s health wasn’t good; the doctor had forbidden alcohol.

He looked at his wife, and she had to relent, allowing him a small glass.

"Fiona, seeing you doing so well, Dad is very happy."
