"What are you doing here?" Fiona asked, pretending not to know.

Sometimes, messing with a clueless fool can be pretty entertaining.

"I... I just..."

Patricia stumbled over her words, unable to string together a decent answer.

Fiona gave a mocking smile, stepping closer. She hooked her finger under Patricia's chin and let out a cold chuckle. "You're not following us, are you? Hmm?"

Fiona's gaze lingered on Patricia's earpiece, spooking Patricia into quickly ending the call and fumbling to play some music instead.

Sweat started to bead on Patricia's forehead, as if Fiona was some kind of notorious villain.

"I just wanted to see what you and Nash were up to. I didn't mean to snoop. We're all students, and students shouldn't be dating early."

Ha!

Fiona nearly burst out laughing. She smirked, removing the earpiece from Patricia's ear with a soft chuckle. "The music's way too loud; it could bug people. Best to switch it off."

Patricia nodded furiously, quickly silencing her phone.

A few seconds later, Fiona's voice echoed again. "Nash and I have some private stuff to talk about. It's none of your business, so you should head back down."

"Are you really seeing Nash?" Patricia's eyes widened, pointing at Fiona as her voice shook. "Aren't you involved with Mr. Fitzgerald? And now with Nash?"

Her eyes gave away her thoughts.

Fiona could clearly see that Patricia thought she was someone who'd flirt with anyone who had cash.

"Think what you like." Fiona pulled her towards the gazebo's railing, holding her head firmly with a sinister smile. "If you want us to find your lifeless body in a pool of blood when we get back, feel free to hang around."

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Oh, but I might just give it a try."

Fiona's smile grew brighter, making her seem even more terrifying in Patricia's eyes.

"You're crazy!"

Patricia threw the words over her shoulder and bolted down the path.

Fiona dusted off her hands, making a few clicking sounds with her tongue, and said with a bored tone, "What a drag."

Nash came over, brows knitted, but a hint of amusement played on his face. "You're quite the character."

"Oh?"

Fiona looked at him. Was scaring someone really that interesting?

Maybe it was, indeed, kind of funny.

"Time to move," Fiona said.

The two continued toward the rocky part of the mountain. They both knew someone was likely lurking there, so instead of waiting for an ambush, they decided to make the first move.

Besides, Christina's focus wasn't solely on Fiona.

Nash was the main target.

Thanks to Jackson, Christina had lost her role as Allen's agent, and her once-high status in the industry had tanked. Jackson must've spread the word, making her every move a struggle, all because of his interference.

But she couldn't go after Jackson, so she set her sights on Nash.

Nash was from the Woods family, and if anything serious happened to him, it

would deal a heavy blow to Jackson and the Woods family.

As for Fiona, she was just in Christina's way.

"What a hassle," Nash sighed, feeling a bit helpless.
