Chapter 339 It’s Someone Else’s Turn to Laugh
Milly might have guessed that Fiona had set her up, made her spill the water, but where was the proof?
What good would all her words do?
Without evidence, her accusations were nothing but laughable nonsense!
Thinking about this, Fiona’s frantic demeanour settled a bit. “You’re saying all this, but you haven’t addressed the two main points. You’re just stalling for time, aren’t you? If you can produce evidence, go ahead. But can you?”
Milly crossed her arms, a small smile playing on her lips. She asked, “Why would you think I don’t have evidence?”
Fiona scoffed coldly, unconvinced.
Ignoring Fiona’s mocking sneer, Milly turned to Jordan and asked, “Mr. Burnett, don’t you have surveillance cameras installed in your living room? Could you pull out the footage, please?”
“Absolutely not!”
Before Jordan could respond, Fiona’s sharp voice cut through the air.
Fiona’s face turned a shade paler, and with her bright red lips, she looked almost eerie. “Do you think this is your home? You can just check the surveillance whenever you want? You can do whatever you please? What gives you the authority to act so powerfully here?
Milly chuckled at Fiona’s hysterical, yet guilty, outburst.
“Maybe you should look in the mirror and see who’s really guilty here. Why are you acting high and mighty?”
Fiona bit her lip in anger and called out, “You wretch!”
The next moment, a clear, magnetic voice interrupted, “Ivan, go to the security room and get the footage.”
Ivan, who had been standing by and nearly dozing off, perked up immediately. He answered, “Yes, Mr. Burnett.”
He had been standing there for quite a while, impatiently wondering when the confrontation would happen. Ivan was on the verge of falling asleep before they reached any conclusions. When his boss instructed him to retrieve the surveillance footage, that certainly perked him up.
Fiona’s face, which had already turned pale, now looked even more ashen, almost completely devoid of colour.
If the surveillance caught my actions…
But maybe it hadn’t. I had been quite subtle; perhaps it wouldn’t show …
Ivan was quick. It didn’t take long before he returned with a USB drive, even thoughtfully bringing along a laptop from the security room.

If it weren’t for the current situation, Milly would have applauded Ivan. A personal assistant was indeed a personal assistant; his professionalism and efficient speed were truly impressive.
Everyone’s eyes were glued to the screen, especially Fiona. She was biting her lip, trying to stay calm, but her trembling fingers had betrayed her.
The surveillance system in the Burnett household was of the highest quality, typically used only by specialised departments. The system captured every detail, even the smallest strand of hair, with perfect clarity.
Soon, the footage reached the part where Fiona approached Milly to clink glasses.
As everyone braced for the next move, but Fiona leaned down at the time and obscured the view with her skirt. This prevented the camera from capturing a clear view of their hands and the glass.
Fiona let out a relieved sigh when she saw this, her nervous sweat, which covered her forehead, had dissipated.
“Oh, how unfortunate! I didn’t realise my skirt blocked the camera,” she said, feigning regret, but her tone was almost dripping with relief.
At that moment, Ivan, who had been standing quietly nearby, spoke up. He said, “No worries, there’s another camera in the living room that captures everything from different angles.”
He then deftly switched to another camera, which showed a side angle right next to Fiona’s hand and clearly captured her actions.
Ivan even considered zooming in, making her actions unmistakably clear to all.
Milly nearly laughed out loud at the scene. Meanwhile, Fiona’s smug smile froze.
As expected, a smile never disappears; it just shifts to another face.
On the screen, Milly’s extended glass clinked against Fiona’s champagne glass with a crisp sound. Just as Milly was about to pull her glass back, Fiona’s finger suddenly flicked up from beneath Milly’s glass, causing its contents to spill all over the sofa.
The high–definition footage captured every detail of the action clearly.
Satisfied, Milly turned her gaze from the screen to Fiona, who stood off to the side. She asked, “Ms. June, do you have anything to say now? Do you prefer compensation or legal action for damages?”
Fiona’s complexion changed drastically, with cold sweat dripping from her forehead. Her entire body trembled with fear.
о
Only one thought filled her mind.
I’m finished!
Her family ran a small, publicly traded company. Even if they had money, it was impossible for them to come up with 3 million at once to cover this. Such a massive financial gap would bankrupt the entire

company!
If my parents found out…
No, they mustn’t know!
Fiona pleaded with a trembling voice, “It’s not like that. It was a mistake. Please forgive me. I never thought the water would spill on the sofa.”
Milly rolled her eyes.
This person was quite the hypocrite. She had been so tough when accusing Milly, but now she claims it was an accident and was pleading for mercy.
Even Anthony couldn’t stand it anymore. This woman had bullied his sister and now acted like a victim, making it seem like the Burnetts were bullying her.
“Hey, didn’t you say earlier that we should fully compensate the depreciation fee for the sofa to prevent others from exploiting my family? Can’t you follow through.on your own words?”
Fiona’s voice was trembling. She stammered, “I …
Anthony cut her off and instructed Ivan, “Mr. Ivan, please find this lady’s guardian’s contact information and send them the footage. Make sure they transfer the full amount to our account. If it’s short by even a penny, notify the legal department to sue for damages to high–value items.”
Ivan couldn’t help but smirk. What kind of crime was damaging high–value items? Did Anthony make that up?
Despite this, he nodded professionally and answered, “Understood, Mr. Anthony.”
He then pulled out his phone and was ready to make the call.
Given how serious they seemed, Fiona’s eyes flickered with fear. She abandoned her pride, fell to her knees, and grabbed Anthony’s pants, pleading desperately.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Anthony. I know I was wrong. I’ll never do it again. Please don’t tell my parents. If they find out, I’m truly finished!”
