Meeting You Was Fate

Monica was so furious that she was at her wit's end. She pointed her finger at Fiona and cursed at her, "You bitch! It's all your
fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have hit him! And now you're pretending to care about my son. Who do you think you are?
Your despicable behavior and conduct really disgust me!"
Monica threw insults at Fiona furiously, and even her spittle was flying about in the air. Her fingers couldn't help but tremble, and
her usually composed face was consumed with rage.
"Are you saying that he was hit because of me? How can you say that it's all my fault? From what I had seen, it was because
you couldn't control your own hands. If you really loved your son and respected him, he wouldn't be like this right now," Fiona
retorted, because she couldn't bear it anymore. 'I'm not a pushover. If I don't say anything and just take all of her insults, Monica
will definitely step all over me again and again, ' she thought.
Monica raised her eyebrows and looked at Fiona from head to toe with her piercing gaze.
Having long suspected, Monica had already known since a long time ago that Fiona had a sharp-tongue and would talk back to
her. Pursing her thin lips tightly, Monica gave her a contemptuous look and mocked with disdain, "Ha! This is how uncivilized
children talk back to their elders. I knew it."
"Civilized people should respect each other as well. My personality may not be that strong and outrageous, but I won't allow
myself to be pushed around by others," Fiona responded honestly and openly. At that moment, she wasn't afraid of Monica even
with the woman's identity in mind.
"You still want to continue arguing, is that right? Why on earth are you so confident?" Shyla retaliated as she couldn't stand it
anymore. Squinting her beautiful eyes, she sneered at Fiona.
"I'm sorry, but it's true that I'm more confident than you are. I know that you're always thinking about how to take Ethon from me.
I think it's better for you to focus on improving yourself, so you might even meet someone better than Ethon in the future.
However, if you insist on destroying other people's relationships, then there's nothing I can say to you," Fiona stated with a
cordial smile, even though she was becoming upset with the conversation.
It was a kind reminder from Fiona to Shyla. But it could also be regarded as a warning. In the past, Fiona had never said such
words to the woman. But today, they had crossed the line so she couldn't help herself.
By that point, Shyla didn't really know what else she could say to retort back. So she just pretended to look sad and dejected.
Then, while looking as pitiful as she could, she turned to Monica.

Since Monica and Shyla were in the same boat with their hatred for Fiona, Monica immediately perked up when she saw that
Shyla was losing the battle. Just like a hen protecting her young, she once again sneered at Fiona. "Shyla is so perfect that she
doesn't need to improve herself. You're the one who should look at yourself! There are so many disgraceful things in your life,
and you can't change any of them!"
Monica's words echoed in Fiona's head. Even her heart missed a beat.
Her father had been in prison for a long time, and her mother was now in a drug rehabilitation center. It was very hard for her
mother to stay away from drugs and be sober. Once her life had been contaminated with it, it was difficult to recover. Moreover,
her mother had been addicted to drugs for many years. So she was not the kind of person who had just recently fallen down the
rabbit hole. There was still hope for that kind of person to reclaim their lives in a drug rehabilitation center, but for her mom, Fiona
was afraid that all hope had been lost.
Recently, Fiona had heard about her mother's situation. Last month, her mom failed in the drug rehabilitation for the tenth time.
The center was like hell on earth. If the rehabilitation center couldn't help her recover, there was no hope left for her in the
outside world. Fiona didn't know how much torture her mother had suffered in the rehabilitation center. Although she hated her
mother and father very much, she still had some affection left for them. What she hated the most about her parents was that they
were so irresponsible. But most of all, they failed to give her a normal and complete family.
'Why are people so selfish sometimes?' Fiona would always wonder.
When it was adults who became impulsive, they were more frightening than immature children. In fact, Fiona was a person who
was full of hope for life. Therefore, she studied very hard in school and worked even harder after she graduated. But whenever
someone would mention her parents in front of her, she felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing through her heart. Even after
all these years, it was still impossible for her to bear the pain of her familial roots.
"Does it give you so much pleasure to scratch at others people's scars?" Ethon asked with a frown.
"It's not impossible for me to accept Fiona. Before she can be part of the Yu Family, both of her parents should be dead," Monica
scoffed. Both her expression and words were intimidating.
Somehow, Ethon felt that there was something more in her words than what she had blatantly said. All of a sudden, he had
goosebumps all over his body.
Upon hearing that, Fiona was enraged. She glared at Monica and said, "Don't say such things about my parents!"

"Why can't I say those things? Little girl, just accept your fate, okay?" With a smirk on her lips, Monica disdainfully rolled her
eyes.
As if a thorn had struck her neck, Fiona cleared her throat. For a while, she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't utter a word.
She hated her parents so much, but why was it still so painful for her whenever others would insult them?
The answer was simple, and Fiona knew it. Once upon a time, she had a warm home, and her life was full of laughter before
everything went downhill.
"My parents made a lot of mistakes, but they are still my parents. I will never allow anyone to insult them." Fiona tried to
compose herself, and with determination in her voice, she stared straight at Monica.
Monica's heart trembled a little. She didn't expect that the girl could utter such decent words.
However, Monica just laughed sarcastically before asking, "Okay then, what can you do? Why don't you break up with my son?
As long as he is my son, you and your family have to accept my insults." With her chin slightly tilted up and nose high in the air,
Monica looked rather arrogant. Needless to say, it irritated Ethon very much.
"That's enough. Don't force me to severe our relationship as mother and son." The expression on Ethon's handsome face was
firm and determined.
Monica took a deep breath and felt a sharp pain in her heart. She had coronary heart disease, but she had been recovering well
for the past few years. She had been taking her medicines on time and had been taking good care of herself. She wouldn't have
a heart attack unless she was very excited or upset.
As the seconds went by, the acute pain in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. Monica opened her mouth and felt like
she was out of breath. She gasped for air, and she couldn't say a single word.
Ethon frowned, and the expression on his face turned serious. He immediately figured out that Monica might be having a heart
attack. He quickly took big strides towards her and supported her back with his hands. Feeling a little guilty, he softly said, "Mom,
calm down, please."
But even in that situation, Monica was still upset. With the same stern expression on her face, she stammered, "Hah... You
disobedient child... You should... You should remember that I am still your mother."

Even Fiona, who didn't know much about Monica's condition, could tell that the woman was struggling and using all of her
energy to speak. Up until then, she didn't know anything about Monica's heart disease.
"Mom, please don't get so emotional, okay? I beg you. Where is your medicine? Did you bring it with you?" At that point, Ethon's
face turned pale with fear. When he saw his mother gasping for air so badly, everything in his mind went out of control.
"I... I didn't bring any medicine with me. Wouldn't it be better if I just died right now? Please... Please leave me alone. Go...Go
away!" With an eerie smile on her face, Monica still managed to muster all of her strength to speak.
