Chapter 531
Phoebe tried putting herself in Mila’s shoes and she already felt infuriated.
It was not surprising that Mila felt bottled up inside.
“Mila, you should tell Mr. Morrison to kick Fenna out,” Phoebe said with frustration.
“Every time I see Fenna, I feel disgusted. You must feel even worse than me.”
After she was done deleting the footage, Mila turned off her tablet and leaned back in her seat. She said calmly, “I don’t feel uncomfortable.” Because she didn’t care anymore. She had expressed her dislike for Fenna to Nathan more than once. She had let him know that she didn’t want Fenna around and interfere with their relationship.
But Nathan didn’t think Fenna could affect the relationship between him and Mila, so he didn’t take it seriously.
Maybe because Fenna was arranged by Donald to work with him. Maybe because of their long friendship, or maybe because Fenna was Cameron’s sister. Nathan was biased and protective to some extent.
On the day she was targeted for assassination, she had a sense of impending doom. She begged him to stay at home with her and send Cole to rescue Fenna. But he was worried about Fenna’s safety, so he went anyway.
That wasn’t the worst part for her.
The worst part was when she was in her most dangerous and helpless moment. She thought of him, so she called him for help.
The first time, he didn’t answer.
The second time, his phone was off.
At that moment, she felt despair, unlike anything she had ever experienced. She also realized that a woman should never rely on a man for the rest of her life.
Her son almost lost his life in that perilous situation.
From then on, she was determined to make herself strong. She wouldn’t rely on anyone, but only herself.
Half an hour later, a vehicle parked at the Morrison Residence.
Just as Mila stepped out of the passenger seat, she noticed there were several vehicles from the military base nearby. There was also a group of soldiers seemingly ready to head out. Seeing Mila from a distance, they looked relieved.
Their expression seemed to say, “Madam is finally back safe.”
Fenna was among them.
When Cole saw Phoebe, he rushed over with agitation. He asked quietly, “Where have you been? Why did you ditch us? What are you up to? Are you trying to scare me to death?” Phoebe was puzzled. She said, “Dude, who do you think I am? Why are you being so harsh on me?”
Cole was nervous as he replied, “I’m not being harsh. I’m just worried about you.”
Phoebe put on a faint smile and then turned to look at Mila.
Mila walked toward the house while holding the tablet.
Fenna angrily stormed up to Mila and blocked her path. She looked very annoyed as she exclaimed, “Do you know that your reckless actions have made Nate drop everything to look for you?
“Missy, can’t you be more mature? Nate is exhausted, and you—”
Mila’s gaze turned cold. She interrupted sharply, “Shut up.”
Fenna was taken aback. She was overwhelmed by Mila’s sudden coldness.
Mila assumed the dignified demeanor of “Mrs. Morrison” and her voice firm with authority as she m questioned, “Who gave a lowly assistant like you the right to confront me? Who do you think you are? What credentials do you have to question me?” Fenna’s face turned pale as she was humiliated on the spot. She dared to be angry but dared not speak.
Cole and the other soldiers were stunned by Mila’s imposing manner, so they looked at her in surprise. They were speechless and unable to react. Mila ignored Fenna and then brushed past her. She walked straight toward the gate.
At that moment, Nathan searched the rooms upstairs but couldn’t find Mila, so he hurriedly came out. He looked very anxious and worried.
In that moment of seeing Mila, the lingering anxiety that had been m hanging over him finally dissipated. His worries instantly eased as he saw her, and he felt a sense of relief. Mila just glanced at him, then quickly looked away.
She walked past him with a cold expression.
