Chapter 479: 475, The War of Two Women
Before Nathan Moore and Evander Lancaster left, they instructed Aunt Liu to deliver the porridge and then not to disturb them anymore. As they were reaching the door, Nathan paused and said, "Lily, come with me."
Olivia Zane felt surprisingly favored. Since becoming "physically inconvenient," Titus Zane had been attending most unnecessary social events on her behalf.
Ever since Titus Zane left, she hadn’t ventured out alone with Nathan Moore; she hastily agreed, went to grab her coat, and walked out, arm in arm with Nathan Moore.
When they arrived at Shanmu, Felix Shaw was already there, sitting on a sofa with his head down, incessantly puffing clouds of smoke, a small mountain forming in the ashtray before him.
Seeing the three people entering one after the other, he merely lifted his head for a look, without greeting them, and continued smoking with his head lowered.
It was evident that he was not in good spirits.
Especially the skin exposed to the air, which looked like it had been soaked for a long time, showing an abnormal whiteness and filled with wrinkles.
"What exactly happened?"
Nathan Moore walked to another sofa, and Olivia Zane, supporting his arm, also sat down with him.
"Brother, come on, speak up, what exactly happened? How did you end up getting schemed by Elizabeth White!" Evander questioned anxiously, standing in front of Felix Shaw, seeing that he wasn’t responding.
Exhaling the smoke from his mouth, Felix Shaw’s eyes appeared blurry.
"This morning, I received a call from Elizabeth White, and she sent me a photo..."
Felix Shaw recounted what happened.
Of course, he kept it concise, and although he now realized the photo was likely fake, it still concerned his own mother, so he mentioned it briefly.
It also took place when he went to Elizabeth White’s invitation at the hotel, on the VIP level—he saw Titus Zane being pulled into a room by a man...
After calling Nathan Moore, he went to Elizabeth White’s room. Felix Shaw was on guard initially, but seeing Elizabeth White dressed formally and conversing seriously without trying to seduce him, he lowered his guard. Right before leaving, he felt extremely thirsty and drank a glass of red wine, after which he couldn’t remember anything that followed.
When he woke up, he found himself naked on the hotel bed, feeling like someone had doused him with cold water. By that time, Mia Foster and Nicholas Croft were in the room, and the fling with Elizabeth White, he thought it was just a dream.
Everyone understood, it was clear that being trapped by Elizabeth White was inevitable, mainly—
"What did your sister-in-law say? Did she ask for a divorce again?"
After all, their relationship had only just begun to mend, and given Elizabeth White’s previously sensitive identity, it’s hard to believe any woman wouldn’t care about it.
Mentioning Mia Foster, Felix Shaw lowered his head again and continued smoking.
After returning home, Mia Foster took him straight to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with water, and poured an entire bottle of disinfectant in it for him to soak in.
She also fiercely stated that he wasn’t allowed out without her permission!
So, after soaking in the tub for two hours, his skin turned into its current state; luckily, he was tough-skinned and only mildly allergic.
But it was still quite a torment.
"Mia told me to confine myself at home to reflect. She said this was a war between two women and didn’t want me to get involved."
Nathan Moore raised an eyebrow. Mia, not only dominating in business but also assertive in life, thankfully was sensible and did not fuss over trivial matters like ordinary women.
Olivia Zane, not knowing what had transpired, felt lost in the conversation.
