Chapter 336 Fiona Likes Jordan?
Jonathan leaned in. He was jealous of Jordan’s ability to capture his sister’s attention. He puffed his cheeks and said, “It’s just a lousy island. When I start making money from my films, I’ll buy you one twice as big!”
Milly just stared at him, speechless.
“Thanks, but no thanks,” she replied. “You make so many empty promises. I can’t handle another one.”
Jonathan fell silent, sulking.
The atmosphere was warming and cozy.
Fiona timidly approached them, nervously clutching her dress. Her eyes, fixed on Jordan, shimmered with hope. In a voice as sweet as honey, she said, “Jordan, Stephanie asked me to let you know she went outside to meet Grandpa Philip. She’ll be back shortly.”
She couldn’t be sure, but Fiona had the distinct impression that her arrival had changed the atmosphere. Just moments ago, Jordan seemed to be in a good mood, but now his expression has darkened.
Did I said something wrong?
Jordan took a sip of the tea and responded with a cold grunt. He didn’t even bother to look at Fiona.
Fiona stood there and felt rather awkward. Was that it?
She had gone to great lengths to prepare for this party, hiring renowned stylists and makeup artists to make her pretty. She had spent the entire day getting ready and almost arrived at the party late. And this was the result?
She felt a burning sense of injustice. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
No, she couldn’t let it end like this.
Fiona bit her lip, summoning the perfect smile she had practiced countless times in front of the mirror. In a soft voice, she asked, “Jordan, do you remember me? We’ve met before. You remember, don’t you?”
Everyone, except for Jordan, turned to look at her curiously.
Milly, especially, couldn’t believe her ears. Her eyes darted between her brother and Fiona.
Jordan’s taste couldn’t possibly be that poor, could it? Even if he didn’t fancy someone extraordinary, he should at least go for someone remarkable, not just an ordinary girl like her.
Jordan didn’t care who this woman was, but he did care about what his sister thought of him.
Milly’s gaze was so direct that she might as well have had ‘scandal‘ written on her forehead. Reluctantly, Jordan looked up at the nervous woman standing before him. After pondering for a while without any recollection, he furrowed his brows and asked, “Who are you?”
Fiona didn’t care what he said; just the fact that he acknowledged her made her cheeks flush with excitement.

Chapter 336 Fiona Likes Jordan?
“My name is Fiona June, and my family run the June Group. You visited my high school once, and I was the student representative who showed you around. Do you remember?”
When she was younger, Fiona had health issues and missed a year of school, so by the time she was a junior in high school, she was already an adult.
However, being an adult in age didn’t make a difference for her in any real sense, whether physically or mentally. Since she was a year older than her peers, she found the boys around her to be immature and únattractive.
That was until Jordan appeared.
This godlike figure showed up on a calm, breezy day. In that moment, she truly understood what it meant to have a crush.
Fiona swore that her future husband had to be as handsome and dazzling as Jordan to be worthy of sharing her life.
But there was a problem. Although she was a wealthy heiress, her family’s wealth was nothing compared to the prestigious Burnetts. How could she get close to the man she had fallen for at first glance?
Perhaps fate had mercy on her. By sheer luck, she ended up at the same university as Stephanie, also a Brunettes.
Therefore, Fiona set aside her pride and dignity. She carefully curryed favour with Stephanie, hoping that one day she would introduce her to Jordan.
Her hard work paid off. She finally received an invitation to Stephanie’s coming–of–age party. She could finally go to her house to attend the party.
Finally, she could be close to her godlike idol!
Fiona’s eager eyes conveyed her feelings clearly to anyone who wasn’t blind. If it were someone else, they might have considered her feelings or made polite small talk. But not Jordan–he preferred to handle things directly and efficiently.
Especially since his rebirth, his heart and mind have been entirely focused on his sister.
All other women, no matter how beautiful or plain, fell into one of two categories for him, his sister, and everyone else.
Under the watchful eyes of onlookers, Jordan coolly replied, “Oh, I don’t remember.”
Fiona’s face fell. She couldn’t believe it. “How could you not? Maybe you just don’t recall at the moment. Think hard. I was wearing a school uniform with a ponytail. You said it looked nice. You can’t have forgotten about me.”
Because of his offhand compliment, Fiona had worn her hair in a ponytail almost all the time since then, noteyen caring when her hairline started to recede.
Did he really praised her ponytail look pretty?
Jordan furrowed his brow, thinking for a moment, before he vaguely recalled something similar happening.

At the time, he simply thought her look resembled Milly’s. Seeing Fiona reminded him of his sister, so he casually praised her. He forgot about it immediately afterwards, never imagining Fiona would remember it so clearly.
He admitted, “Well, there was something like that.”
Fiona’s eyes lit up at his response, and she wanted to say something. However, Jordan abruptly added, “Yes, I do remember that. But it was only because your style was similar to my sister’s. If my compliment stuck with you, I take it back.”
Fiona was completely stunned. “What …?”
Can you really take back something you said?
Milly, who had been watching the scene unfold, was equally surprised. She had expected some juicy gossip but ended up being part of the drama.
What did Jordan mean by taking back his words?
The more she thought about it, the funnier it seemed. Seeing Fiona’s shocked expression with her jaw practically on the floor, Milly couldn’t help but laugh. “Pfft!” she chuckled out loud.
Jordan is such a straightforward man.
Her laughter was cut short when she felt a piercing, angry glare.
Sure enough, when she looked up, she saw Fiona staring at her with a look that could kill.
Milly was speechless. She sighed inwardly. Hey, it wasn’t me who said I didn’t know you. Why are you giving me
that look?
