EuropeNovelChapter 639:
Fiona’s mind blanked out, and her face slowly paled. After a few silent seconds, it dawned on her that Cody
wasn't joking. He genuinely intended to sever their mentor-apprentice relationship.
Shaking, Fiona asked in disbelief, “Mr. Tucker, are you serious? You're really lettinggo as your apprentice?”
A flicker of hesitation crossed Cody's face, but he quickly regained composure, his voice firm. “You tried to
seduce Elyse’s husband, deeply hurting her. | can’t justify keeping you here.”
“But | just fell for her husband. What's wrong with that? Is loving someone a mistake?” Fiona defended herself,
not feeling even a shred of wrongdoing.
Cody looked at her, disappointment evident. “Falling in love isn’t the issue, but pursuing a married man is. You
coveted Elyse’s life and sought to replace her. That was your fault.”
Tears streamed down Fiona’s cheeks, not from guilt, but from frustration that no one understood her love. She
had given up so much for it, yet even Cody failed to see her side.

With eyes red from crying and filled with bitterness, Fiona challenged him. “Mr. Tucker, do you really think
expellingover something so minor is justified?”
Cody replied steadily, “Yes, it is. Your actions have caused trouble that’s not easily resolved.”

Fiona sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. “Ridiculous! It's you who are biased toward Elyse. Not just you,
but Gavin and Irving as well. You all favor her. The problem lies with you.”
Cody exhaled deeply, his tone level yet firm. “If the roles were reversed, if it were Elyse who had seduced the
husband of my other apprentice, | would have expelled her as well. I've always treated everyone the same.”
Fiona’s voice cracked as she screamed in despair, “That's a lie! In your heart, Elyse is the one who matters. What
am | then, to you?”
Cody furrowed his brow, struggling to find a way to soothe the agitated Fiona. Realizing the futility of the
argument, Fiona’s shoulders slumped. “Enough. | am no longer your apprentice. Whether you're biased or not
doesn’t matter anymore. I'm leaving.”
Without sparing Cody another glance, she turned and walked away.
As she stormed out, she ran into Irving, who was casually strolling toward the studio. Noticing Fiona’s furious
expression, Irving asked with a hint of bewilderment, “Why the long face? What's gotten into you?”
Fiona had always harbored a strong dislike for Irving. As she brushed past him, she couldn't resist the urge to
shove him hard. Caught off guard, Irving nearly toppled over. He staggered back, regaining his balance after a
few shaky steps.
Watching Fiona storm off, Irving shook his head, puzzled by her outburst. Given their mutual dislike, he chose not
to waste his ttalking to her.
Once inside the studio, Irving encountered Cody. Cody appeared to have aged tically, collapsing wearily
onto the sofa. Irving barely caught the sound of Cody’s deep sigh.
Irving scratched his nose, his voice tinged with confusion. “Mr. Tucker, what's going on? | saw Fiona storm out.”

apprentice anymore. Make sure Elyse and Gavin get the message.”
Irving was stunned, his thoughts scattering. “Has Fiona been expelled by you? What happened?”
Cody let out a weary sigh. “It’s a grave matter.” He avoided further explanation, suggesting that Irving ask
Gavin, then he left the studio.
Left alone in the studio, Irving felt overwhelmed. He stood in silence for several minutes, processing the news,
then pulled out his phone to call Gavin.
When Gavin learned of Fiona’s expulsion, he let out a resigned sigh. “You should talk to Elyse. I'm tied up with
sthings here.”
“Alright, handle it. Take care of your matter,” Irving responded, then tried to reach Elyse. However, her phone
went unanswered, prompting him to send a text.
Meanwhile, Elyse was cocooned in her comforter in bed, her mind racing and unable to find sleep. Her phone
rang, but she felt no desire to answer. After much thought, Elyse decided to wait for Jayden’s return to discuss
her thoughts, but he did not chthat night.
